泰迪熊

罗斯福常被称为泰迪,但经过一趟特别的狩猎旅行后,这个绰号被赋与了一个新的意义。罗斯福是一位喜爱户外活动的人也是一位猎人,但他也热爱动物。在某次场合中,他跟一些助手及一群记者一起进行狩猎活动;连续好几天,新闻报导表示总统无法顺利射击到任何猎物。最后,罗斯福的助手们发现了一头熊,他们把熊逼到角落,决定将它当做战利品献给罗斯福总统;然而,罗斯福觉得那头熊很可怜,因此不愿射击它。这一张插画显示了罗斯福对熊的仁慈;您认为这件事启发了什么?


Theodore Roosevelt was often called Teddy, and after one particular hunting trip this nickname took on a new meaning. Roosevelt was an outdoorsman and a hunter, but he also loved animals. On one occasion, he was hunting with some of his aides and a group of reporters. For several days, the newspapers reported that the president had failed to shoot any game. Finally, Roosevelt's aides found a bear, which they cornered and presented to him as a trophy. However, Roosevelt felt compassion for the bear and refused to shoot it. This drawing illustrates Roosevelt's kind attitude toward the bear. What do you think this incident inspired?
