Who Was名人传 · 11 Who Was Abraham Lincoln
Chapter 10 Farewell to the President John Wilkes Booth was never brought to trial. A few days after the shooting, his hiding place was discovered. He was shot to death trying to escape.
约翰·威尔克斯·布思没有受到审判。 枪击事件发生几天后,他的藏身之处被发现了。 他在试图逃跑时被枪杀。
Booth thought what he'd done was noble and heroic. However, all over the nation, people mourned the dead president. Clocks were stopped to mark the moment of his death. Millions came to Washington, D.C., to pay their respects. Then Lincoln's body was put on a special train back to Springfield. That was where he would be buried. His son Willie's coffin was dug up and traveled with him. The train retraced the route Lincoln had
布斯认为他所做的事高尚而英勇。 然而,全国各地的人们都在哀悼死去的总统。 时钟停止了,以纪念他的死亡时刻。 数百万人来到华盛顿特区,表达他们的敬意。 然后林肯的尸体被放在一列特殊的火车上运回斯普林菲尔德。 那就是他被埋葬的地方。 他的儿子威利的棺材被挖出来,并与他一起旅行。 火车沿着林肯的路线折回
taken when he first came to Washington as president. At each stop, there were elaborate parades with the coffin mounted on a wagon. Sometimes the lines were three miles long. People waited hours for the chance to say good-bye to the president they had loved. Mary Lincoln never really recovered from the shock of her husband's death. She was too upset to go to the funeral. Even now, people criticized her. They said when she left the White House she took things that didn't belong to her. Her later life was not happy.
这是他第一次以总统身份来到华盛顿时拍的。 在每一站,都有精心安排的游行队伍,棺材装在马车上。 有时队伍长达三英里。 人们等了好几个小时,只为有机会向他们深爱的总统告别。 玛丽·林肯从未真正从丈夫去世的打击中恢复过来。 她太伤心了,不能去参加葬礼。 直到现在,人们还在批评她。 他们说她离开白宫时拿走了不属于她的东西。 她后来的生活并不幸福。
Tad's death—probably from tuberculosis—at age eighteen was a terrible blow. Of all her children, only Robert lived to be an adult. But he and Mary did not get along. For a while he had her locked up in a hospital, claiming that she was insane. Robert had a long career as a lawyer and diplomat. He had three children and several
泰德18岁时的死亡——可能是死于肺结核——对他是一个沉重的打击。 在她所有的孩子中,只有罗伯特活到了成年。 但是他和玛丽相处得不好。 有一段时间,他把她关在医院里,声称她疯了。 罗伯特有很长的律师和外交官生涯。 他有三个孩子和几个孩子
grandchildren. Robert lived to be eighty-two, dying in 1926. Today, two hundred years after his birth, Abraham Lincoln is more honored than any other president except perhaps George Washington. He appears on the penny and the five-dollar bill. He has a monument in the nation's capital.
孙子。罗伯特活到82岁,死于1926年。 今天,在亚伯拉罕·林肯出生200年后,他比任何一位总统都更受尊敬,也许除了乔治·华盛顿。 他出现在一美分和五美元的钞票上。 他在首都有一座纪念碑。
