Ulysses S. Grant was born as Hiram Ulysses Grant in 1822. He was the 18th President of America, serving two terms from 1869 to 1877. In 1838, he went to West Point military academy against his will. He was an average student but excelled at horse riding. A mistake was made with his name on the application form, but he adopted his “new” name, liking the U.S. initials. His classmates called him Sam.
尤利塞斯·辛普森·格兰特出生于1822年，当时他的名字叫做海勒姆·辛普森·格兰特。他是美国第18任总统，他的任期是1869-1877年。1838年，在不愿意的情况下，他就读了西点军校。他在学校的表现平平，但却在骑马方面非常优秀。虽然申请表格把他的名字搞错，但是他适应了这个新名字，他很喜欢找这个缩写。他的同学叫他山姆。
Grant joined the Army in 1839 and fought in the Mexican-American War. He was twice promoted for bravery and he learnt a lot about military tactics. In 1861, Grant was made a colonel. In 1862 he took control of the Mississippi Valley and President Lincoln promoted him to major general. After further impressive battle victories, especially at Chattanooga, Lincoln appointed him General-in-Chief in 1864.
1839年，格兰特参了军，并参加了墨西哥战役。他曾经两次因英勇奋战而晋升，并学习到了许多军事战术。1861年，格兰特升为了陆军上校。1862年，他控制了密西西比河谷流域，林肯总统晋升他为少将。之后他有赢得了几场战争的胜利，特别是在查特努加市，1864年，林肯命他为大将军。
When he was elected President in 1868, the American people hoped for an end to the turmoil of the Civil War. Grant looked to Congress for direction. During the reconstruction, Grant focused on the rebuilding of the South, often with military force. His signing of civil rights laws resulted in the election of African Americans to Congress for the first time.
1868年，他选举成为了美国总统，美国人希望能够结束内战旋涡。格兰特向议会寻求意见。在重建过程中，格兰特集中在了拥有军事力量的南方。他所签订的民权法使得非洲裔美国人第一次进入到了国会的选举当中。
Grant's presidency was marred by economic turmoil and multiple scandals. He was heavily criticized for not managing the depression. He became involved in many corruption scandals, which ruined his chances of getting a third-term nomination. After retiring from office, Grant went on a two-year world tour. He wrote his memoirs and died in 1885 aged 63, soon after completing the last page.
经济的动荡，以及无数的丑闻使他的总统之旅蒙上了污点。由于没有能够处理好经济萧条问题，格兰特遭到了人们的严重批判。他还牵扯到了许多腐败丑闻之中，这让他失去了第三任总统提名的机会。卸任以后，格兰特进行了为期两年的世界之旅。并写下了回忆录，就在他完成最后一页不久，1885年，63岁的格兰特与世长辞。
