罗斯福总统纪念馆印象

You'll be happy you ventured "off the beaten track" to see this outdoor memorial to Franklin Delano Roosevelt. You can wander through outdoor "rooms," each representing one of Roosevelt's terms. Each has fantastic sculptures plus water features and beautiful landscaping. Then take a short walk over to the Tidal Basin through the famous cherry trees, sit down and, and enjoy the view.

这里是对美国历史上艰难时期有所作为的一位伟大总统的绝好纪念。很喜欢他们并没有掩饰他患小儿麻痹症的事实,这可给予那些有视力和听力等轻微残疾的人们以信心,并且说明了他们如何把Eleanor Roosevelt纳入计划之中。

我非常喜欢瀑布和这些雕像,但感觉罗斯福受到了不公正待遇。尽管他将美国拖出大萧条,战胜了纳粹和日本,而且他还是坐在轮椅上的,但感觉人们给他的尊敬还不够。

其实我觉得每年很多慕名来这里的游客应该都是赶在春天的时候来看樱花的。因为虽然这边就这样这个纪念馆，但是出去外面就是这个人工湖，如果我也赶在春天来，应该是超漂亮的了。只可惜夏天樱花树上都是叶子。

Popped in on the walking way to the Jefferson Memorial. The story telling of this massive complex is a review of that time in our nation's history as well as a reflection on his leadership. A great opportunity to talk with young people about this time of near history that is already passing from our collective memories.

We visited the FDR memorial with the kids and it was a very nice stop on the tour, this is one of the newer memorials and it is very well done. It has been set up in stages of his presidency and to show what he did for the country. and FDR is one of the most influential presidents we have had.

It was snowy and icy, so much of the walkways were covered and difficult to manage. It would have been much nicer in a warmer temperature. One of his famous quotes "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself" was sadly covered up by a tree branch, so photos were not possible.

The FDR Memorial is both a peaceful place to repose and as well as a truly educational (and moving) depiction of his impact on our country and world history.

On our last day in Washington we walked to the west end of the National Mall and visited the many monuments and memorials there. I hadn’t known there was an FDR memorial in the area, but when we ran into it I was very keen to see it, given that we'd stopped at the FDR Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park, New York only six weeks earlier.The FDR Memorial covers 7.5 acres that stretch along the southwestern shore of the Tidal Basin, making it the largest memorial in the National Mall. The open-air memorial is broken up into sections or "rooms" that represent each of FDR's four terms in chronological order. It's best to come from the direction of the Lincoln Memorial, as we did, rather than the Jefferson Memorial so you'll see these “rooms" in order.Unlike those other memorials, which are covered and feature one large statue, the FDR Memorial is uncovered and features many quotes, sculptures, waterfalls dispersers among the aforementioned “rooms.”Near the entrance to the memorial is a bookshop, which we didn't enter, and a ten-foot bronze statue of FDR sitting in a wheelchair. He survived polio but his legs remained paralyzed and he hid this condition during his presidency. An earlier statue shows FDR sitting in a chair that's almost entirely obscured by a cloak. The second statue was added in 2001 to depict FDR as he really lived.Nevertheless, the earlier statue is my favorite, since it includes the president's beloved Scottish terrier, Fala, who is the only presidential pet so honored. The pooch survived FDR by seven years, dying only two days shy of his 12th birthday, and is buried with the Roosevelts in the rose garden of their home in Hyde Park.Another sculpture that struck a chord with me was "The Fireside Chat" by George Segal, which shows a man listening to one of FDR's radio broadcasts on an old-fashioned cathedral-style radio. I'd heard FDR's Social Security broadcast on just such a radio in the Presidential Museum at Hyde Park.Yet another memorable sculpture by the same artist—one that presents a great photo opportunity—is "The Breadline," which shows a row of life-size figures waiting in a line for bread during the Great Depression. I saw a couple of people standing at the end of the breadline having their picture taken. The rest of my group had already moved on, and I was too timid to ask a stranger to take a picture of me in line, which I now regret.We visited Washington in early February, and unlike back home in Southern California, there were no leaves on the trees and no blooming flowers. We remarked to each other how nice the FDR Memorial must look during a warmer season.Besides the flowers and leaves, another thing missing was the water in the waterfalls, which must have been turned off due to the cold. That’s unfortunately, since the waterfalls play an important part in the design of the memorial.For example, the water in the first “room,” which depicts the start of FDR’s presidency, flows as an unbroken sheet. However, the waterfall in the third “room,” which covers World War II, looks like water is streaming through gaps in a broken wall of large blocks, some of which lie scattered in front of the waterfall. This no doubt represents the turmoil of the war.As I’ve already said, this memorial is unlike the others nearby, but I think it’s beautifully designed and very fitting for FDR’s long and eventful presidency. There’s actually more to see, learn about, and contemplate here than at those other, more well-known memorials.
