||1:Wherever he went, as America’s president or before it, George Herbert Walker Bush usually carried a felt-tipped pen and a supply of notecards.||2:On these he wrote letters.||3:Some were thank-yous; others a clumsy, but courteous, attempt to get his views across to other people; yet others just a “good to see you” kind of thing.||4:When the time came to write his presidential memoirs, to salve some of that desperate hurt after Bill Clinton thrashed him in 1992, he published instead 600-plus pages of correspondence.||5:They ranged from doting letters to newborn grandchildren to his worries, as a young seaman in 1943, that his girlfriend Barbara, “so darn attractive”, would drop him while he was away; from his attempt to explain the Watergate scandal to his four young sons, to his mortified account of throwing up in 1992 on the Japanese prime minister, “the damnedest experience”.||6:He admitted that some of the letters were nutty.||7:But they were also of the moment.||8:As he said, “It’s all about heartbeat.”

||1:乔治·赫伯特·沃克·布什在成为总统后或在此之前，无论去哪儿，通常带着签字笔和便签。||2:他就用这两样写小纸条。||3:有些写着“谢谢你”；另一些潦草却不失礼貌，试图向别人说明自己的观点；还有一些只是写着“很高兴见到你”之类的客套话。||4:为抚平1992年比尔·克林顿轻松击败他后的绝望伤痛，到了撰写总统回忆录的时候，他却出版了600多页的书信集。||5:有的表达对新生的孙子孙女的宠爱；还记录了1943年，身为年轻海军的老布什担心当时还是女友的芭芭拉“太有吸引力”，怕不能在她身边的时候抛弃自己；有的写给四个年轻的儿子，试图解释水门事件；将1992年向日本首相吐痰的经历尴尬解释为“最糟糕的经历”。||6:他承认有些写的很荒唐。||7:但也是当时的一种真实记录。||8:正如他所言，“都是心跳时刻。”
