Four debates and countless campaign stops later, voters have learned much about their candidates' positions, policies, and personalities. Or have they? 四场辩论结束美国总统大选即将收官，选民们对候选人的立场、政策和个性已经足够了解了。真是这样吗？ 5 Things You Didn’t Know About Barack Obama 关于奥巴马你不知道的5件事 1. He learned not to sling mud from ...his mom. 他从母亲那里学会了不要诽谤他人 Although he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Barack Obama spent four years of his childhood in Indonesia. His mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, instilled in her young son a deep sense of respect, a particularly important value in Indonesian culture. Obama's sister opened up on this period of their lives for a New York Times story, and describes how even as children they adopted this Indonesian custom: "We were not permitted to be rude, we were not permitted to be mean, we were not permitted to be arrogant. We had to have a certain humility and broad-mindedness." 虽然出生在夏威夷的檀香山，奥巴马童年时期曾经在印度尼西亚生活了四年。他的母亲斯坦利·安·邓纳姆逐渐向年轻的儿子灌输了深深的尊重意识，这在印尼文化里是一种非常重要的价值观。奥巴马的姐姐在接受《纽约时报》的采访时曾经描述过他们那段时期的生活，提到了他们小时候养成的这种印尼的习惯：“我们不能举止粗鲁，不能心存邪念，不能傲慢自大。我们必须谦逊有礼、心胸开阔。” |
