富蘭克林·德拉諾·羅斯福，人們通常稱呼他名字的縮寫—“FDR”，他是美國第32任總統。他是唯一一名任期超過兩屆的總統，時間為1933-1945。1882年，羅斯福出生于紐約州一個古老的家族。他的成長環境非常優越，他曾就讀于哈佛大學和哥倫比亞大學法學院。在1905年的圣帕特里克節上，羅斯福與埃莉諾·羅斯福完婚。
Following the example of his cousin, Roosevelt entered public service through politics. He won election tothe New York Senate in 1910. President Wilson appointed him Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and he was the Democratic nominee for Vice President in 1920, at the tender age of 34. The Democrats lost the election.In 1921, he was diagnosed as having polio and was paralyzed from the waist down.
跟隨著他堂兄的腳步，羅斯福通過政治進入了公共服務事業當中。1910年，他成功當選紐約州參議院議員。威爾遜總統任命他為海軍部長助理，1920年，他成為了民主黨副總統候選人，當時他只有34歲。但民主黨在這次競選中失敗了。1921年，他被查出患有脊髓灰質炎，腰部以下癱瘓。
Roosevelt was elected President in November 1932, to the first of four terms. By March there were 13,000,000 unemployed, and almost every bank was closed. In his first "hundred days," he proposed a sweeping program called the “New Deal” to bring recovery to business and agriculture, relief to the unemployed and to those in danger of losing farms and homes.
1932年11月，他成功當選總統，并迎來了他第一屆任期。截止到三月份，全國共有1200萬失業者，所有的銀行幾乎全部關門。在他任期的“百天”里，他提出了一種叫做“行政”的改革方案，新政的目的是為了使商業和農業得以恢復，增加就業，并拯救那些處在失去家園邊緣的民眾。
By 1935 the nation’s economy was recovering and in 1936 FDR was re-elected by a huge margin. He tried to keep the U.S. out of WWII, but when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, America joined the war. As WWII drew to a close, Roosevelt's health deteriorated, and on April 12, 1945, he died of a cerebral hemorrhage. He is often ranked as one of the top three U.S. Presidents.
截止到1935年，全國的經濟得到復蘇，1936年，羅斯福以壓倒性的優勢再次連任。他試圖讓美國遠離二戰的困擾，1941年12月7日，當日本偷襲珍珠港時，美國被迫宣戰。就在二戰即將結束時，羅斯福的健康狀況每況愈下，19456年4月12日，他因腦出血去世。他是美國歷史上最偉大的三位總統之一，同華盛頓、林肯齊名。
