"A lot of presidential memoirs, they say, are dull and self-serving. I hope mine is interesting and self-serving".
William J. Clinton Presidential Library的点评
点评:My wife and I, traveling from New Jersey, have now visited all but one Library. This museum's exterior design is to resemble a raised bridge to the future. There are individual sections including focusing on "Learning across a Lifetime" and vertical wall sections - each chronology reviewing the eight years of presidency. While it was great to review the Clinton presidency, including siting in the cabinet room and checking out Bill's saxophones, there were some distractions and surprises. The building is mostly glass enclosed, and as such there was too much glare on the exhibits, especially the time line walls (our day was even cloudy). We've enjoyed taking pictures inside the other libraries' oval offices, but Bill charges for both admittance and to have your picture taken in the simulated room! Our surprise was dining at a wonderful restaurant - "42 bar and table"! It's a first class full service restaurant, with excellent food, engaging servers, and a beautiful view. Finally, you can walk on the back lawn and see the beautiful area where the Clintons are to be interred. Also, we were told that a Hillary wing is in the works. "There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America".
翻译:我和妻子从新泽西出发,目前已经参观了除一个图书馆之外的所有图书馆。这个博物馆的外观设计类似于通往未来的高架桥。博物馆有单独的部分,包括专注于“一生的学习”和垂直墙壁部分——每个部分都按时间顺序回顾了八年的总统任期。虽然回顾克林顿总统任期(包括坐在内阁会议室和查看比尔的萨克斯管)很棒,但也有一些干扰和惊喜。这座建筑大部分都是玻璃封闭的,因此展品,尤其是时间线墙壁(我们那天甚至多云)的眩光太多。我们喜欢在其他图书馆的椭圆形办公室内拍照,但比尔对入场和在模拟房间拍照都收费!我们的惊喜是在一家很棒的餐厅用餐——“42 酒吧和餐桌”!这是一家一流的全方位服务餐厅,提供美味的食物、热情的服务员和美丽的景色。最后,您可以在后草坪上散步,欣赏克林顿夫妇即将被埋葬的美丽地区。此外,我们还被告知希拉里一派正在酝酿中。“美国没有不能用美国正确做法解决的问题。”
