威廉．珍宁斯．布莱恩 (William Jennings Bryan) 于1860年3月19日出生了

威廉．珍宁斯．布来恩是一位伟大的演讲者，也曾经三度成为美国总统的候选人，他于1860年3月19日在伊利诺州的萨冷市 (Salem) 出生。因为他很认真的摸索自己的宗教，而且持续为一般美国人民辩护，所以人们称他为「最伟大的平民」。在他的一生中，他曾经有过很活跃的政治生涯，他以律师的身份成为众议员，又在1926年的「斯科普斯案」 (Scopes Trial) 中担任经验丰富的检察官，这个案件的主要争辩议题在于学校究竟应该教导学生哪一种演化的理论。他极富争议性的论点，使他得到了许多支持者的支持与评论家的批评。你知道现在还有谁具有这么大的争议性吗？


A great speaker and three-time presidential candidate, William Jennings Bryan was born on March 19, 1860, in Salem, Illinois. Because he felt deeply about his religion and consistently defended the ordinary American, people called him "the Great Commoner." He had an active political career during his entire life, from a young lawyer entering the House of Representatives to the seasoned prosecuting attorney at the Scopes Trial, where the issue of whether evolution should be taught in school was argued in 1925. His controversial views gained him many supporters and critics. Can you think of people today who raise such controversy?
