Andrew Jackson was the seventh President of the United States. He was born in a backwoods settlement in the Carolinas in 1767. His Irish-Scottish parents had immigrated to the USA from Ireland two years earlier. He was the youngest of three brothers but his father died three weeks before Jackson was born. He grew up in a very remote area of the Virginian countryside.

安德鲁·杰克逊是美国第7任总统。1767年,他出生在北卡罗来纳和南卡罗来纳交界地的一个边远地区。他的父母是爱尔兰裔苏格拉人,于1765年之前移民到美国。杰克逊是三兄弟中最小的一个,在他出生前的第三个星期,他父亲便去世了。他成长在维吉尼亚州的一个边远农村里。

At the age of 13 he joined the American Revolution as a courier. He was the last U.S. President to have fought in the Revolution. He was captured by the British and nearly starved to death. His mother died from Cholera in 1781, leaving Andrew an orphan at the age of 14. He began to study law in his late teens and became an outstanding young lawyer in Tennessee.

13岁时,杰克逊加入了美国独立战争,并担任通信员。他是最后一位参加过美国独立战争的美国总统。他曾被英国俘虏,并差点被饿死。1781年,安德鲁的母亲死于霍乱,14岁的他成了孤儿。在他十八九岁时,他开始学习法律,并成为了田纳西州一名杰出的年轻律师。

Jackson prospered sufficiently to buy slaves and to build a mansion near Nashville. He was the first man elected from Tennessee to the House of Representatives, and he served briefly in the Senate. He was a major general in the War of 1812 and became a national hero when he defeated the British at New Orleans. This paved his way to political success and eventually the Presidency in 1829.

当时,杰克逊很富有,他买了奴隶,并在纳什维尔附近建了一栋豪宅。他是田纳西州第一位被推选为的美国众议院议员的人,他还曾在美国参议院担任过短暂的职务。他是美国1812年战争的重要将领,曾在新奥尔良打败英国,并因此成为美国的民族英雄。这种.种都为他的政治生涯铺平了道路,并使他最终于1829年当选为美国总统。

Jackson served two terms as President, from 1829 to 1837. He supported the idea of a small federal government with a powerful President. He was a leading advocate of removing Native Americans from the east of the country and his policy eradicated many tribes. He also supported slavery. In 1835, Jackson survived an assassination attempt. He died of tuberculosis and heart failure in 1845, aged 78.

1829年至1837年,杰克逊连续担任了两届美国总统职务。他支持“总统集权的联邦制国家”。他是搬迁美国东部印第安人的主要倡导者,该“搬迁政策”根除了许多印第安部落。他还支持奴隶制。1835年,杰克逊遭到刺杀,并幸免于难。1845年,杰克逊死于肺结核及心力衰竭,享年78岁。
