2018-12-03 转载一封新旧美国总统之间的信

On Jan. 20, 1993, as newly inaugurated President Bill Clinton read outgoing President H.W. Bush’s words — left for him inside a desk in the Oval Office — the burgeoning connection between the once-political rivals became inked on stationery beneath an embossed presidential seal.

“Dear Bill,” the letter began.

“When I walked into this office just now, I felt the same sense of wonder and respect that I felt four years ago. I know you will feel that, too.

I wish you great happiness here.

I never felt the loneliness some presidents have described. There will be very tough times, made even more difficult by criticism you may not think is fair. I’m not a very good one to give advice, but just don’t let the critics discourage you or push you off course.

You will be our president when you read this note. I wish you well. I wish your family well.

Your success now is our country’s success. I am rooting hard for you.

Good Luck

— George.”
