約翰凱爾宏 (John C. Calhoun) 出生
1782318

當你有了年紀,回頭看看過去的時候,你可以列出在一生中所經歷過的各項重要經驗與工作。1782318日,約翰凱爾宏生於南卡羅萊納州的阿貝費爾。他一生中曾擔任過許多重要的政治職位。他曾擔任過眾議員、參議員、作戰部部長、國務卿,以及美國副總統。不過,更著名的是他那暴躁的脾氣。對他來說,因為捍衛他所相信的事物而大發雷霆是相當尋常的事情。


As you get older and look back on the past, you'll be able to list all kinds of significant experiences and jobs in your life. John C. Calhoun, born March 18, 1782, near Abbeville, South Carolina, looked back on a life of many important political jobs. He was a congressman, senator, secretary of war, secretary of state and vice president of the United States. He was also known for having an explosive temper. It wasn't unusual for him to become enraged when defending what he believed in.
