  Jimmy Carter: Peanut farmer

  卡特:农民

  Carter worked on his parents' Georgia peanut farm as a boy. By the time he was 10 years old, Carter was hauling produce into town to sell.

  He left Georgia to attend the U.S. Naval Academy. After serving in the Navy for several years, Carter moved his family back to the farm when his father died. A terrible drought devastated the farm in 1954, leaving him a profit of just $187 ($1,654 in 2014 dollars) that year.

  Carter successfully turned the farm around before entering politics.

  卡特从小在自家的花生农场里干活儿,10岁时就能一个人拖着车子到镇上卖花生。后来,卡特进入了海军军官学校。几年后,父亲去世,他又举家迁回了农场。1954年,一场大旱让农场几乎颗粒无收,一整年的收入仅有187美元。
