当艾略特·罗斯福一点儿也不容易。不是酗酒,就是吗啡成瘾;走得出吗啡魔爪,又逃不开抑郁症的折磨;当然,更不要说,几乎所有人都拿他和他哥哥泰迪(昵称,实为西奥多·罗斯福)作比较,后者在42岁时成为美国总统。
It could not have been easy being Elliott Roosevelt. If the alcohol wasn't getting him, the morphine was. If it wasn't the morphine, it was the struggle with depression. Then, of course, there were the constant comparisons with big brother Teddy who later became President at age 42.
