William Jefferson Clinton
威廉•杰斐逊•克林顿

William "Bill" Jefferson Clinton served as the forty-second president of the United States from 1993 to 2001 after twelve years as governor of his native Arkansas. Domestically, his presidency was marked by steady economic growth and fundamental welfare reform legislation, as well as the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Internationally, he grappled with regional challenges in the former-Yugoslavia, Northern Ireland, Rwanda, and the Middle East. A moderate Democrat, Clinton relied on support from business and from traditional Democratic constituencies, including organized labor. Clinton was raised a Southern Baptist; as a candidate and as president he spoke openly about how his faith informed his political and policy views. After his presidency, he founded the William J. Clinton Foundation, which works to address heath, education, and poverty challenges around the world.
威廉 (比尔)•杰斐逊•克林顿在1993年至2001年期间担任美国第42任总统,此前他在其家乡阿肯色州担任州长12年。在国内,克林顿总统以经济稳步增长和社会保障改革立法著称,当然还有莱温斯基丑闻。国际政策方面,克林顿应对前南斯拉夫、北爱尔兰、卢旺达和中东地区的动荡。身为温和派民主党人士,克林顿主要依赖商界和民主党传统人士的支持,其中包括劳工组织。克林顿儿时在美南浸信会环境中长大,在竞选总统和总统任期期间,他曾坦诚谈及个人信仰对其政治观点和政策的影响。卸任之后,他成立威廉•克林顿基金会,致力于解决全球健康、教育和贫困问题。
