Stephen Grover Cleveland was born in 1837 and died aged 71 in 1908. He was the 22nd and 24th president of the United States, being the only president to leave the White House (in 1889) and return for a second term four years later (in 1893). He was also the first Democrat elected after the Civil War. Cleveland was one of nine children. He was raised in upstate New York and qualified as a lawyer in 1859.
格羅弗·克利夫蘭出生于1837年，并于1908年去世，享年71歲。他是美國第22，和第24任總統(tǒng)。他是唯一一位于1889年卸任，之后又于1893，時隔四年之后再一次擔(dān)任總統(tǒng)的人。他也是內(nèi)戰(zhàn)后第一個當(dāng)選總統(tǒng)的民主黨人。克利夫有八個兄弟姐妹。克利夫在紐約的北部長大，1859年獲得律師資格。
At 44, his political career took off. Running as a reformer, he was elected Mayor of Buffalo in 1881, and later, Governor of New York. Cleveland won the Presidency with the combined support of Democrats and reform-minded Republicans. It was a hotly-contested race, with Cleveland winning by one-quarter of a percent ofthe popular vote. The electoral votes gave Cleveland a majority of 219–182.
44歲時，他的政治生涯開始如日中天。作為改革者，1881年，他競選成為了布法羅市市長，之后成為了紐約市長。克利夫贏得了共和黨，以及一些希望改革的共和黨人的支持，這些支持使他成為了總統(tǒng)。這是一次競爭激烈的競選，克利夫以25%選票的優(yōu)勢獲勝。這次競選克利夫以絕對的優(yōu)勢獲勝，選票是219-182。
In June 1886, Cleveland got married - the only President to do so while in the White House. Cleveland vigorously pursued a policy barring favors to any economic group. He also vetoed many private pension bills toCivil War veterans whose claims were fraudulent. He angered the railroads by ordering an investigation of western lands they held by Government and forced them to return 81,000,000 acres.
1886年6月，克利夫成家了-他是首位在任職期間結(jié)婚的總統(tǒng)。克利夫抱著一種對任何團體都不能給予優(yōu)惠的信條。他否決了對內(nèi)戰(zhàn)退伍軍人發(fā)放津貼，他們的請求都是帶有欺騙性的。他對鐵路一直耿耿于懷，并命令對政府管轄的西邊進行調(diào)查，并強行要回了8100萬英畝的土地。
Cleveland was elected as President again in 1892. This time round he faced an acute economic depression. He dealt directly with the Treasury crisis rather than business failures, farm mortgage foreclosures, and unemployment. With the help of Wall Street, he maintained the Treasury's gold reserve. His policies during the depression were unpopular and his party deserted him.
1892年，克利夫再次成功當(dāng)選總統(tǒng)。這次他面臨著嚴峻的經(jīng)濟蕭條。他直接處理了財政危機，而不是商業(yè)失敗、農(nóng)業(yè)抵押品贖回、失業(yè)。通過華爾街的援助，他保留了財政的黃金儲備。在這次的經(jīng)濟蕭條中，他的政策并沒有得到人們的認可，民主黨最終將他放棄。
