问题 The news of Roosevelt’ s death reached Washington in the early afternoon on April 12, 1945. It is hardly necessary to point out the importance of Franklin D. Roosevelt. He was a world figure of monumental proportions. Roosevelt’ s strength in dealing with foreign leaders stemmed from his e-normous popularity throughout the world, even in countries he had never been in. Yet it cannot be said that he was a likable man. He preferred informal relationships which were informal merely in structure. He could not stand protocol in the accepted sense of the world but was quick to resent the slightest departure from the respect normally accorded the President of the United States, and the aura of the office was always around him. Even Hopkins was always respectful and careful in his manner with the president. Roosevelt influenced people by the fact that he was president. Among those who worked with him in the White House for long periods of time, there was real affection for him, but not the kind of human feeling that springs from personal love.
In foreign affairs, Roosevelt did his job only moderately well. The methods and techniques that he usually used with consummate skill in domestic politics did not fit well in foreign affairs. He relied on his instinctive grasp of the subject, which was good, and his genius for improvisation to find solutions to problems. In domestic affairs, where all elements were under the same national roof and therefore the reactions had a pattern of similarity, this technique worked. In foreign affairs, this style meant a lack of precision, which, as people have pointed out, was a serious fault.
A deeper knowledge of history and certainly a better understanding of reactions of foreign peoples would have been useful to the president. Helpful, too, would have been more study of the position papers prepared by American conviction that the other fellow is a " good guy" who will respond properly and decently if you treat him right.
选项
答案 罗斯福的死讯于1945年4月12日下午早些时候传到了华盛顿。作为举足轻重的世界级人物，我们无需刻意强调罗斯福的重要性。他与外国领导人打交道的优势在于他在世界范围内享有巨大声望，即使在他从未去过的国家也是如此。然而，不能因此说他本人是招人喜欢的。他看重私人关系，尽管只是形式上的。他不接受大家都普遍认同的(外交)礼仪，而且特别不能容忍对美国总统哪怕是一丁点的不敬，总想顶着总统的光环。甚至霍布金斯在他面前也表现得谦恭有礼，小心翼翼。那些在白宫为罗斯福工作多年的人们对他也是有感情的，但不是那种亲密的爱。 在外交方面，罗斯福做得一般。他通常用于处理国内事务的方式方法在外交方面并不那么适用。在处理问题时，他依靠的是自己对事物本能的把握和能够即时找到应对方法的才干。在内政方面，所有相关因素都在同一个国家体系内，因而得到的结果有某种相似性。在外交方面，这种方法则意味着不够准确，正如人们所指出的，这是个严重的错误。 更加深入地了解历史和更好地把握外国人民的反应对总统来说是很有用处的。美国人相信，如果你对一个人好，反过来他也同样对你，他就是好人。这也是美国的外交立场。如果对之仔细研究，也是非常有用的。
