乔治卡特利特马歇尔 (George
Catlett Marshall) 是一名士兵，大家最记得他对和平的贡献。出生于宾夕法尼亚州，马歇尔于维吉尼亚州莱星顿市 (Lexington) 的维吉尼亚军校 (Virginia
Military Institute) 受训并在此培养他的领导技巧。当他还是个年轻军官时，马歇尔即以耿直、坦率及杰出的问题解决能力闻名。第一次世界大战时，他身居要职，到了第二次世界大战时，则身任陆军参谋长。战后，马歇尔将他的问题解决能力应用在更重要的领域上。身为国务卿时，他说服国会拨出130亿美金帮助欧洲重建。这个有名的「马歇尔计画」 (Marshall
Plan) 为许多国家带来希望与和平。1953年时，马歇尔也因他的伟大成就获颁诺贝尔和平奬。
George Catlett Marshall was a soldier best remembered for what he did for peace. Born in Pennsylvania, Marshall developed his leadership skills at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. As a junior Army officer, Marshall earned a reputation for blunt honesty and brilliant problem-solving. He held important posts during World War I, and in World War II, Marshall became head of the Army. After the war, Marshall put his problem-solving skills to an even more important use. As secretary of state, he convinced Congress to give Europe $13 billion to help rebuild. This very popular "Marshall Plan" brought hope and peace to many nations. For his great achievement, Marshall received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953. |
