Vote for Bill

　　读故事

　　The government spokesman confirmed that Bill was going to run for President, so we all went to his office to congratulate him, and we called him “Mr.Would be President”.Bill was busy preparing a speech on the conservation of wild life that he was to make at the Congress, and was a little confused by our congratulations.His face turned red with confusion and shyness.Bill was the brightest and most hard working young man we'd ever known.Although he was confined to a wheelchair as a consequence of his disease, he was able to confront any difficulties.Even when he was a little boy, Bill was conscious that he had to make more effort to succeed.He conquered the problem and always encouraged others with his own conquest of what seemed impossible.He also followed his conscience and behaved only in good conscience.During his service in the government, Bill had never consented to do anything that would be on his conscience.Consequently he often conflicted with the conservatives, but he never conceded to conservative deas.He once refused to use his connections to help his own brother, whose business was in connection with the government.In consequence of this, the two brothers had a conflict.While at work, Bill was a very nice man who always worked in close conjunction with other people.Such conjunction is a feature of Bill's appeal to voters.

　　政府发言人证实了比尔将竞选总统，所以我们全都跑到他的办公室向他表示祝贺，称他为“准总统先生”。比尔正忙着准备一篇关于保护野生动植物的稿子，准备在国会发表演讲，我们的祝贺使他有点糊涂了，他的脸因为困惑和不好意思而涨红了。比尔是我们见过的最聪明、最肯干的年轻人，虽然轮椅限制了他的行动——这是他得病的结果，但他却能勇敢地面对任何困难。还是很小的时候，比尔就意识到他必须付出更多的努力才能成功。他攻克了一个又一个难关，并经常通过自己征服看似不可能的困难鼓励他人。他凭良心做事，公平地对待别人。在政府供职期间，他从未同意过做任何会引起他内疚的事情。因此，他时常会与那些保守的人发生冲突，但他从不向保守思想妥协。他曾经拒绝利用自己的关系帮助自己的亲弟弟，因为他弟弟做的生意与政府有关，结果，兄弟两人起了冲突。可在工作上，比尔却很好相处，他总是与其他人共同合作，正是比尔这种能与他人联合的特点吸引了选民。
