在约翰·亚当斯第一次出使欧洲期间,他对本杰明·富兰克林是尊重的,两人之间一直保持着合作关系。造成二人关系恶化的直接原因是在亚当斯第二次出使欧洲期间富兰克林被动卷入亚当斯和维尔热纳伯爵之间的争论。亚当斯与富兰克林冲突的根本原因是二人在针对法国的外交策略上的分歧。此外,年龄和性格上的差异也是造成二人冲突的重要原因。作为外交官,尽管约翰.亚当斯也有其缺点,但是,基本上是成功的。可以说,约翰.亚当斯是美国革命时期非常出色的外交官之一。 During John Adams’s first trip to Europe, he respected Benjamin Franklin, and the two have maintained a cooperative relationship. The direct cause of the deteriorating relationship between the two men was Franklin’s passive involvement in the controversy between Adams and Count Verginne during Adams’s second trip to Europe. The root cause of Adams’s conflict with Franklin was the disagreement between the two in their diplomatic strategy against France. In addition, differences in age and personality are also important reasons for the conflict between the two. As a diplomat, although John Adams has its own drawbacks, it is basically a success. It can be said that John Adams was one of the very good diplomats during the American Revolution.
