1981年1月20日,当共和党人里根正式宣誓就职总统时,他创造了美国总统史上的三项记录:他是第一位年届七十高龄的当选总统;他是第一位电影演员出身的总统;他是第一位曾经离过婚的总统。里根曾是好莱坞二流影星,后来弃影从政,两次当选加州州长,三次竞选总统,矢志不渝,愈老弥坚,终于如愿以偿。问鼎白宫之后,他遇刺大难不死,四年后高票蝉联总统,一直干到七十八岁,成为力挽狂澜、重振国威、赢得冷战的赫赫功臣。如此传奇性经历,在当今世界政治巨头中堪称罕见。
On January 20, 1981, when Republican Reagan was formally sworn into office as president, he created three records of the history of the U.S. president: he was the first president of the seventies; he was the first movie actor to come President; he was the first president ever divorced. Reagan was a second-rate movie star in Hollywood, and later abandoned the shadow of politics, twice elected Governor of California, three presidential elections, unswervingly, the older the more determined, and finally got his wish. After he won the White House, he was assassinated. After four years, he won the presidential election and remained until the age of seventy-eight. He became the hero of turning the tide and reviving the national prestige and winning the Cold War. Such a legendary experience is rarely seen in the political giants of the world today.
