70.Who was the first President?
70.美国第一任总统是谁？
Answer: (George) Washington
答案:（乔治）华盛顿
Explanation: Starting a new job is always difficult because you're doing many things for the first time.
解释：开始做一项新工作总是很困难，因为很多事情你都是第一次做。
But starting a job that is new and has never existed before is even more difficult because no one has ever done the things that you're being asked to do.
而开始做一项以前从未有过的新工作则更加困难，因为你要做的事情前无古人的。
No one can tell you how to do it because no one has that experience.
没有人能告诉你如何去做，因为没有人有过这种经历。
This is similar to what happened to the first president of the United States, George Washington.
这就与美国第一任总统乔治·华盛顿所经历的事情很相似。
George Washington was unanimously elected to be the first U.S. president, meaning that no one voted against him.
乔治·华盛顿被一致推选为美国第一任总统，也就是说没有人投反对他的票。
Once this happened, everything that George Washington did became a precedent (or something that is used as an example for how people should behave in the future).
出现这种情况后，乔治·华盛顿所做的所有事情都成了先例（或后继者该如何去做的榜样）。
Many of the things that George Washington did have become standard (or unchanging) for all U.S. presidents.
乔治·华盛顿做过的许多事情都已成为所有美国总统的标准（或不变的事）。
For example, he chose to be called "Mr. President," and all U.S. presidents have been called that ever since.
例如，他要人们称他为“总统先生”，自此，所有的美国总统都被这样称呼。
