John Calvin Coolidge, Jr. was the 30th President of the United States, serving between 1923 and 1929. He was born in Plymouth, Vermont, on July 4, 1872, the son of a village storekeeper. He graduated from AmherstCollege with honors, and entered law and politics in Massachusetts. Slowly, he went up the political ladder from councilman in Northampton to Governor of Massachusetts.

约翰·卡尔文·柯立芝是美国第30任总统,任期为1923-1929年。1872年,柯立芝出生于佛蒙特州温莎县的普利茅斯,他的爸爸是一名乡村店主。他以优异的成绩毕业于阿默斯特学院,并在马塞诸塞州步入律师和政治行业。慢慢地,他担任过北安普敦的议员,之后担任马塞诸塞州的州长。

One of his first duties as Governor was to deal with the Boston police strike in 1919. He brought in the National Guard and fired all striking officers. Newspapers across the nation reported on his decisive action and gave him the reputation of a strong leader. He became Vice President in 1921 and attended many of President Warren Harding’s cabinet meetings – the first Vice President to do so.

作为州长,他的职责之一就是处理1919年波士顿警察罢工事件。他带来了国民警卫队,并对所有罢工官员进行射击。全美国的报纸都在报道他的果断处理,人们都认为他是一名铁腕领导人。1921年,他成为了美国副总统,并参加了许多哈定总统的内阁会议-柯立芝是第一位参加内阁会议的副总统。

On August 2, 1923, President Harding died suddenly. Coolidge was in Vermont visiting his family. He found out about the President’s death via messenger. He took the oath of office in his family’s home under thelight of a kerosene lamp, as they had no electricity. As President, Coolidge promised to preserve the traditional American ways amid the economic prosperity that many Americans were enjoying.

1923年8月2日,哈定总统突然去世。与此同时,在蒙特州温莎县的柯立芝正在拜访他的家人。通过报信人,他得知总统已经去世的消息。在煤油灯的照耀下,他在家中宣誓就职,因为当时没有电灯。作为总统,柯立芝承诺保护美国的传统,并同时保证美国经济的繁荣发展,这是许多美国人所认同的。

Coolidge was re-elected in 1924 because of what was known as "Coolidge prosperity." In his inaugural speech he stated that the country had achieved "a state of contentment seldom before seen." He spoke out in favor of the civil rights of African Americans. He became even more popular by lowering taxes. After he left office, he wrote his autobiography in 1929. He died of a heart attack in 1933.

柯立芝于1924年成功连任,因为人们都熟悉他的“柯立芝繁荣”。在他的就职演说中,他说美国获得了很少能够遇见的满足感。他总是站在非洲裔美国公民权的立场上。柯立芝还减少了税收,这使他受到了人们的欢迎。离任之后,柯立芝在1929年写下了自己的自传。1933年,他因心脏病病逝。
