My Fellow Americans,
I have recently been told that I am one of the millions of Americans who will be suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease (老年痴呆症).
Upon learning this news, Nancy & I had to decide whether as private citizens we would
36 this a private matter or we would make this news known in a
37 way.
In the past Nancy suffered from breast cancer
38 I had my cancer surgeries (外科手术). We found that after we told it to the public, we were able to
39 public awareness(意识). We were happy that
40 many more people went to have a test. They were treated in early stages and able to
41 to normal, healthy lives.
So now, we feel it is
42 to share it with you. In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater
43 of this condition. Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are
44 by it.
At the moment I feel just fine. I’d
45 to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have
46 done. I will continue to share
47 journey with my beloved Nancy and my family. I plan to enjoy the great outdoors and stay in touch
48 my friends and supporters.
Unfortunately, as Alzheimer’s Disease
49 , the family often suffers a lot. I only wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this
50 experience. When the time comes I am confident that with your help she will
51 it with faith and courage.
At last, let me thank you, the American people for giving me the great honor of
52 me to serve as your President. When the Lord calls me home,
53 that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and endless optimism (乐观) for its future.
I now begin this
54 that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright
55 ahead.
Thank you my friends. May God always bless you.
Sincerely,
Ronald Reagan
