1832年,林肯失业了,这使他很伤心,但他下定决心要当政治家,当州议员。糟糕的是,他竞选失败了。在一年里遭受两次打击,这对他来说无疑是痛苦的。接着,林肯着手开办企业,可一年不到,企业又倒闭了。在以后的17年间,他不得不为偿还企业倒闭时所欠的债务而到处奔波,历经磨难。随后,林肯再一次决定参加竞选州议员,这次他成功了。他内心萌发了一丝希望。认为自己的生活有了转机:“可能我可以成功了!” In 1832, Lincoln was unemployed, which made him very sad, but he was determined to be a politician and a state legislator. What’s worse, his campaign failed. It was undoubtedly painful for him to suffer two blows in a year. Then Lincoln set out to start a business, which could take less than a year, and the company went bankrupt. In the next 17 years, he had to travel around to repay the debt owed when the company collapsed and suffered hardship. Subsequently, Lincoln once again decided to run for state legislators, this time he succeeded. There was a glimmer of hope in his heart. Think of a turning point in his life: “Maybe I can succeed!”
