Lesson 41 Bill Clinton was hard to miss in the autumn of 1970. He arrived at Yale Law School looking more like a Viking than a Rhodes Scholar returning from two years at Oxford.He was tall and handsome somewhere beneath that reddish brown beard and curly mane of hair. He also had a vitality that seemed to shoot out of his pores.1970年秋天，你想不注意比尔-克林顿也不容易。

他来到耶鲁大学法学院时,看上去像一个北欧海盗，而不像一个在牛津大学呆了两年后回国的罗兹奖学金获得者。

他身材高大，他那棕红色的胡子和卷曲而浓密的头发使他显得很帅气。

他浑身充满了活力。

当我第一次在法学院的学生休息室里见到他时，正对着一帮全神贯注的同学滔滔不绝地讲着什么。

2 The way bill tells the story, he couldn’t remember his own name.在比尔讲述这段事情的版本中他说他当时都想不起来自己叫什么名字了。

3 To this day, he can astonish me with the connections he weaves between ideas and words and how he makes it all sound like music.直到现在我还常为他敏捷的思维和恰如其分的用词，以及他如何能够将要表达的思想说得那么动听而感到惊讶不已。

4 One of the first things I noticed about Bill was the shape of his hands. His wrists are narrow and his fingers tapered and deft, like those of a pianist or a surgeon. When we first met as students, I loved watching him turn the papes of a book. Now his hands are showing signs of age after thousands of handshakes and golf swings and miles of signatures. They are, like their owner, weathered but still expressive, attractive and resilient.我首先注意到的是比尔的手的形状。
