[02:11.34]The Democrats can trace their history back to the lights of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, who really didn't want the federal government getting too power-hungry. 民主黨人的歷史可以追溯到托馬斯·杰斐遜和安德魯·杰克遜,他們真的不希望聯(lián)邦政府過于覬覦權(quán)勢。 [02:20.25]In the 1820s, Jackson became the first president known as a Democrat. 在19世紀(jì)20年代,杰克遜成為第一位民主黨總統(tǒng)。 [02:25.16]He was a fierce, cane-swinging, dueling war hero type of president who fiercely defended the rights of slave owners all out across the country, farmers, by and large, saying if they wanted to have slaves, that was effectively none of Washington's business. 他是一位非常強勢，活躍，戰(zhàn)斗英雄類型的總統(tǒng)，他為整個國家的所有奴隸爭取權(quán)利,大體上說就是廣大農(nóng)民,他說如果他們想要奴隸,這跟華盛頓一點關(guān)系都沒有。 [02:40.24]In the still young country, it was a popular and powerful idea, and the Democrats quickly became known as the Party of the People. 在這個還年輕的國家,這是一種非常受歡迎及非常強有力的想法,而民主黨人很快就被稱為人民的政黨。 [02:48.35]Jackson's foes, by the way, said he was as stubborn as a jackass in defending his position and ever since the donkey has been the symbol of the Democratic Party. 值得一提的是，杰克遜的敵人稱他在捍衛(wèi)自己的地位上倔得像一頭驢,自那時起驢就成了民主黨一直的象征。 [02:56.54]As the years moved on, and the slavery issue was settled by the Civil War, the Democratic sense of supporting regular working class people evolved into and aggressive agenda of supporting security and individual rights and freedoms. 歲月如梭,奴隸制問題由內(nèi)戰(zhàn)解決,民主黨由意識到支持普通工人階級人民演變成支持安全和個人權(quán)利和自由的激進議程。 [03:10.04]For example, Democrats championed the idea of women being allowed to vote. 例如,民主黨人在支持婦女被允許投票的這個想法上獲得了勝利。 [03:14.25]In the 1930s, during the Great Depression and afterward, President Franklin Roosevelt launched many of the programs that Democrats are still most proud of: 在20世紀(jì)30年代,在大蕭條期間及之后,美國總統(tǒng)富蘭克林·羅斯福推出了民主黨對此仍然感到最自豪的許多計劃: [03:22.44]social security assured old people that they would not go broke; 社會安全保證老年人不會破產(chǎn)； [03:26.12]rural electrification took power lines out into the countryside; 農(nóng)村電氣化把電線帶到農(nóng)村； [03:29.54]the G.I. bill guaranteed educations for those who served in our military; and there was much more. 軍人安置法案保障對于那些曾在我們軍隊服役的人們能夠得到教育；還有更多。 [03:36.33]In modern times, Democrats have championed civil rights, labor reform laws, and most recently, health care reform. 在當(dāng)代,民主黨人倡導(dǎo)民權(quán),勞動力改革法律及最近的醫(yī)療改革。 [03:43.20]The Republicans, in recent decades, have proven more adept at winning the White House, but the Democrats still produced plenty executives of with landmark legacies, the moon programs, the Civil Rights Act and Medicare, the Departments of Education and Energy and on and on. 共和黨人,在最近幾十年,已經(jīng)被證明更善于贏得白宮,但民主黨仍然誕生了大量具有里程碑意義的項目,月球計劃,民權(quán)法案，醫(yī)療保險，教育和能源法案等等。 [03:59.43]And of course, the current occupant of the Oval Office, Barack Obama, he is a Democrat. 當(dāng)然,目前橢圓形辦公室的主人,巴拉克·奧巴馬,他就是民主黨人。
