泰迪熊

羅斯福常被稱為泰迪,但經過一趟特別的狩獵旅行後,這個綽號被賦與了一個新的意義。羅斯福是一位喜愛戶外活動的人也是一位獵人,但他也熱愛動物。在某次場合中,他跟一些助手及一群記者一起進行狩獵活動;連續好幾天,新聞報導表示總統無法順利射擊到任何獵物。最後,羅斯福的助手們發現了一頭熊,他們把熊逼到角落,決定將它當做戰利品獻給羅斯福總統;然而,羅斯福覺得那頭熊很可憐,因此不願射擊它。這一張插畫顯示了羅斯福對熊的仁慈;您認為這件事啟發了什麼?


Theodore Roosevelt was often called Teddy, and after one particular hunting trip this nickname took on a new meaning. Roosevelt was an outdoorsman and a hunter, but he also loved animals. On one occasion, he was hunting with some of his aides and a group of reporters. For several days, the newspapers reported that the president had failed to shoot any game. Finally, Roosevelt's aides found a bear, which they cornered and presented to him as a trophy. However, Roosevelt felt compassion for the bear and refused to shoot it. This drawing illustrates Roosevelt's kind attitude toward the bear. What do you think this incident inspired?
