  Though he was not personally responsible for all the programs tried and laws passed in his years as president, he was the man in charge.  尽管他没有亲自负责他执政时期所实行的计划以及所颁布的法律,但这些工作都是在他主持下进行的。
  Supporters and critics alike measured succeeding presidents and other leaders against him. 支持者和批评者以同样的方式,以他为例来对比这些计划和法律、评估以后继任的总统和其他领导人。
  For those admired Roosevelt, a later leader was as good as, or not as good as their hero.  对于那些崇拜罗斯福的人来说,继任领导人与罗斯福同样好,或不如他好。
  Those who disliked, even hated F.D.R, complained that a later president was as bad as,  or worse than Roosevelt.  那些不喜欢,甚至恨罗斯福的人抱怨说继任的总统像罗斯福一样坏甚至比罗斯福还坏。
