During her twelve years as Arkansas' first lady, Hillary Clinton became a well-known activist for women and children. Her determination to achieve results continued during her time as America's first lady. In addition to her work on healthcare reform, she remained a strong supporter of the rights of the disadvantaged. 

    在身为阿肯色州州长夫人的12年里，希拉里·克林顿成了知名的妇幼运动人士。而在身为美国第一夫人期间，她仍坚持着凡事都要达成目标的信念。除了致力于医疗制度的改革，同时也持续大力支持弱势团体的权益。 

    Working to improve people's lives brought Hillary tremendous satisfaction. Despite the public sympathy for her generated by her husband's sex scandals, she lost some respect among the American people because of the failure of her healthcare initiative. But, finding strength in her difficulties, Hillary became tougher and more confident than ever, and many people began to respect her once again. 

    致力于改善人民的生活带给希拉里极大的成就感。尽管大众因为她丈夫的性丑闻事件对她寄予同情，但她却因全民医疗方案的失败而丧失许多美国民心。但是，在困境中找到力量的希拉里反而变得比以往更坚强，也更自信，因此许多人又重拾对她的敬意。 

    Hillary Clinton summed up her political vision in her college graduation speech when she said, "The challenge now is to practice politics as the art of making what appears impossible, possible." It seems clear that Senator Clinton intends to keep pursuing this dream. In fact, many say the former first lady may yet achieve it by becoming America's first female president. 

    希拉里·克林顿在她大学毕业的演说中概述了她的政治信念："目前的挑战是要将政治的推行当成一门化看似不可能为可能的艺术。" 显然希拉里·克林顿参议员打算继续追求这个梦想。事实上，很多人都说这位前任第一夫人迟早会实现这个梦想，成为美国第一位女性总统。
