罗杰·罗尔斯是纽约历史上第一位黑人州长,他出生在纽约声名狼藉的大沙头贫民窟。在这儿出生的孩子,长大后很少有人获得较体面的职业。然而,罗杰·罗尔斯是个例外,他不仅考入了大学,而且成了州长。在他就职的记者招待会上,罗尔斯对自己的奋斗史只字不提,他仅说了一个非常陌生的名字——皮尔·保罗。后来人们才知道,皮尔·保罗是他上小学时的校长。 Roger Rawls, the first black governor in New York’s history, was born in New York City’s notorious Dashatou slum. Children born here, few grow up to obtain a more decent job. However, Roger Rawls is an exception, he not only admitted to the university, but also became governor. At his inaugural press conference, Rawls made no mention of his history of struggle, and he said only one very strange name, Pierre Paul. It was later learned that Pierre Paul was his principal when he was in elementary school.
