Lincolns Beard

Lincolns face is familiar to people all around the world, at least his face when he was wearing a beard. But he didnt wear a beard until later in his life. When he started out as a judge and then a lawyer, he had two nicknames.The first was Honest Abe. And there are many stories of his honesty both as a child and as he went on throughout all of his life. His second nickname was Homely Abe. He was not good looking. Then something happened in 1860.That year Abe Lincoln was the Republican Party nominee,the man the recently formed Republican Party chose as candidate for President of the United States.

Just a few weeks before the presidential election,Lincoln receied a short letter.It was from a girl who lived in New York State. Her name was Grace Bedell.Grace wrote to Lincoln about his homely face, but in a polite way. This was over a hundred and fifty years ago,so Grace didnt use modern English grammar in her letter.But she did write a very interesting letter. Here are some parts of it:

"I am a little girl only 11 years old, but I want you should be the President of the United States very much so I hope you wont think me very bold to write such a great man as you are.."

And then Grace went on,

"I have got four brothers and part of them will vote for you anyway, and if you will let your whiskers grow,I will try to get the rest of them to vote for you. You would look a great deal better for your face is so thin. All the ladies like whiskers and they would tease their husbands to vote for you, and then you would be President..."

Lincoln took Grace Bedells advice, and over the next two weeks he did not shave. By Election Day on November 6th of 1860, he already had enough whiskers to make a short beard. And he did get elected. Maybe his new beard had something to do with that. And he did wear the beard for the rest of his life.

译文

林肯的胡子

全世界的人们都熟悉林肯的长相，至少熟悉他那张留着大胡子的脸。但是他的胡子是在他后来的日子里才留起来的。在他开始当法官以及后来做律师时，他有两个绰号。 第一个是诚实正直的亚伯。有许多关于林肯小时候和他之后一生之中诚实正直的故事。他的第二个绰号是其貌不扬的亚伯。他长得不算好看。在1860年发生了一件事。那年亚伯。林肯成为共和党的提名者，被新近成立的共和党选为美国总统的候选人。

就在总统选举前的几个星期，林肯收到一封简短的来信。信是纽约州一个小女孩写的，她叫格雷丝·伯戴尔。她在给林肯的信中提到了他那其貌不扬的脸，但信写得很有礼貌。这件事发生在一百五十多年前 。因此格雷丝在信中没有使用现代英语语法。但是她的信写得很有意思。在此摘录部分内容:“我是一个年仅11岁的小姑娘，但我非常想让您成为美国总统，所以我希望您不要认为我给您这样一个伟人写信太鲁莽.....”

格雷丝接着写道:

“我有四个哥哥，不管怎么说有几个要投您的票，而如果您让您的胡子长起来的话，我就设法说服另外几个哥哥也投您的票。那样的话，您会好看得多。因为您的脸太瘦了。所有的女士都喜欢胡子，她们会缠着她们的丈夫投您的票，那样您就能当上总统了.......”

林肯听从了格雷丝·伯戴尔的建议，在随后的两个星期里他没有刮胡子。到1860年11月6日的选举日那天，他的胡子已经长成短的络腮胡子了。而且他确实当选了。或许这与他新留的胡子有关。在以后的日子里他一直都留着络腮胡子。
