John Adams

　　“Thomas Jefferson Still Survives.”

　　“托马斯·杰斐逊还活着。”

　　John Adams (1735-1826)

　　约翰·亚当斯(1735-1826)

　　John Adams was the second president of the United States.

　　约翰·亚当斯是美国的第二任总统。

　　Adams passed away on July 4, 1826- the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. After being told it was the Fourth of July, Adams responded, “It is a great day. It is a good day.” It is reported that his last words were “Jefferson survives,” although he did not know that Jefferson died earlier that day.

　　亚当斯于1826年7月4日--《独立宣言》签署五十周年纪念日那天去世。得知当天是7月4日时，亚当斯曾说，“这是伟大的一天，是个好日子。”据报道，他临终前最后一句话是“杰斐逊还活着”，他确实不知道杰斐逊也是在当日早些时候过世的。
