It happened long time ago. Shortly 1B the Civil War ended, Lincoln was shot while 2C a play in a Washington theater. He died within a few hours. The uncontrolled emotional reaction of the nation 3D his death was almost unbelievable and demonstrated the deep esteem(尊重) in which he was held. Newspapers were edged (加邊) with 4A , religious leaders 5B praise to Lincoln instead 6B their prepared sermons (講道). His funeral procession in Washington was miles 7C .Lincoln’s body was taken by train 8A to his former home in Springfield, Illinois, but 9D all the major cities through which the train 10C , the coffin(棺材) was paraded through streets lined 11A sorrowful thousands. In the small towns 12B which the train passed, bells’ rang 13D honor of the dead President. Citizens lit torches 14A the railroad track to show their last 15D .

　　這件事發(fā)生在許久之前，在美國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)結(jié)束后不久，林肯在華盛頓劇院觀看表演之時(shí)遇刺身亡。對(duì)于他的死，全國(guó)人民對(duì)于他的感情表達(dá)是令人難以置信的，這表現(xiàn)了所有人對(duì)他的崇敬與尊重。新聞報(bào)紙都加上了黑框，而宗教領(lǐng)袖們都停止了講道，轉(zhuǎn)而為林肯歌功頌德。在華盛頓的送葬隊(duì)伍延綿幾公里遠(yuǎn)。林肯的遺體由火車運(yùn)回他的家鄉(xiāng)——伊利諾斯州的斯普林費(fèi)爾德。但是在火車經(jīng)過(guò)的主要城市里，運(yùn)送遺體的棺材會(huì)穿過(guò)站滿悲傷市民的街道。在經(jīng)過(guò)一些小城鎮(zhèn)，鐘聲會(huì)響遍全城，以此紀(jì)念這位去世的總統(tǒng)。市民還點(diǎn)起了火炬，站在鐵路旁邊，致以他們最后的敬意。

　　The circumstances of his death set Lincoln apart from other American 16C . Had Lincoln lived, it 17C well be that his postwar policies would 18B criticisms upon him that would have tarnished his popularity. Instead, an assassin’s bullet erased (抹掉) 19A the minds of Americans any faults he had and emphasized 20B virtues.

　　林肯的死，使他與其他美國(guó)總統(tǒng)有了不同之處。如果林肯還活著，他的戰(zhàn)后政策會(huì)給他帶來(lái)批評(píng)，從而減少他的支持度。而現(xiàn)在，他的遇刺抹掉了他在美國(guó)人心中所有的錯(cuò)誤，而只注重在他的公德了。
