威廉‧珍寧斯‧布萊恩 (William Jennings Bryan) 於1860年3月19日出生了

威廉‧珍寧斯‧布來恩是一位偉大的演講者，也曾經三度成為美國總統的候選人，他於1860年3月19日在伊利諾州的薩冷市 (Salem) 出生。因為他很認真的摸索自己的宗教，而且持續為一般美國人民辯護，所以人們稱他為「最偉大的平民」。在他的一生中，他曾經有過很活躍的政治生涯，他以律師的身份成為眾議員，又在1926年的「斯科普斯案」 (Scopes Trial) 中擔任經驗豐富的檢察官，這個案件的主要爭辯議題在於學校究竟應該教導學生哪一種演化的理論。他極富爭議性的論點，使他得到了許多支持者的支持與評論家的批評。你知道現在還有誰具有這麼大的爭議性嗎？


A great speaker and three-time presidential candidate, William Jennings Bryan was born on March 19, 1860, in Salem, Illinois. Because he felt deeply about his religion and consistently defended the ordinary American, people called him "the Great Commoner." He had an active political career during his entire life, from a young lawyer entering the House of Representatives to the seasoned prosecuting attorney at the Scopes Trial, where the issue of whether evolution should be taught in school was argued in 1925. His controversial views gained him many supporters and critics. Can you think of people today who raise such controversy?
