安德鲁．强森 (Andrew Johnson) 总统于1808年12月29日生于北卡罗来那州的罗利 (Raleigh)

如果你回顾安德鲁．强森的童年岁月，你大概从来都不会想到有一天他会成为美国的最高领袖。美国的第17位总统安德鲁．强森于1808年12月29日生于北卡罗来那州的罗利。强森的父亲在他很小的时候就去世了，让他的家庭陷入贫穷的困境。从10岁到17岁，小强森跟着一个裁缝师当学徒。他在那一行作了许多年，也跟着他的母亲搬到田纳西州的绿村 (Greenville) 。强森一直都没有接受正统的学校教育。不过，在他和依丽莎．麦克卡朵 (Eliza McCardle) 结婚后，他的太太变成了他的老师，让强森能够有一个很好的学习环境。


If you looked only at Andrew Johnson's childhood, you would never guess that he would rise to the highest office of the United States. The 17th president of the United States, Andrew Johnson was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, on December 29, 1808. His father died when he was young, leaving the family in poverty. From ages 10 to 17, young Johnson worked as an apprentice to a tailor. He worked at that trade for a number of years, during which time he moved with his mother to Greenville, Tennessee. Johnson never attended school. Once married, however, his wife, Eliza McCardle, became his tutor, providing him with a good common education.
