세 살 버릇

리처드 닉슨 전 미국 대통령은 어린 시절 매우 불우했다. 끼니를 걱정할 정도로 가난했다. 학생 시절 호객꾼?야채장사를 했다. 형과 동생은 일찍 죽었다. 공부 외에는 그 생활을 벗어날 길이 없었다. 휘티어대학을 2등으로 졸업했다.(보니 앤젤로, 『대통령을 키운 어머니들』) 장학금을 받고 듀크대 법학대학원에 들어가서도 1등에 집착했다. 시험 결과가 너무 궁금했다. 친구 한 명을 꾀어 교수 연구실에 몰래 들어갔다.(윌리엄 라이딩스 2세 외, 『위대한 대통령 끔찍한 대통령』)

The early years of ⓐRichard Nixon, former US president, may not have been ⓑa happy one. His family was ⓒvery poor that he had to skip meals sometimes, and ⓓyoung Nixon ⓔworked for various jobs to make ends meet. Nixon's brothers died young. For Nixon, study was the only way to ⓕget out of the destitute life. He graduated second in his class from Whittier College, and worked ⓖstill assiduously ⓗto receive a first class when he moved on to Duke University School of Law. One day he ⓘwas dire to know ⓙthe exam result, and he sneaked into a professor's office ⓚto check his result with a friend whom Nixon enticed to come with him.

ⓐ Richard Nixon, former US president → former U.S. President Richard Nixon

ⓖ 비슷한 의미의 assiduously가 있으므로 불필요한 still 삭제
ⓗ to receive a first class ? to reach the top of his class 자연스러운 영어 표현으로 수정
ⓘ was dire ? was desperate 매우 심각하거나 나쁜 상황이 아니라, ~을 너무나도 하고 싶어하는 상황이므로 desperate가 더 적합한 어휘임

클린턴은 태어나기 직전 아버지가 교통사고로 죽었다. 알코올 중독자인 의붓아버지는 어머니와 동생을 때렸다. 14살이 된 클린턴이 골프채로 위협하며 이를 막기도 했다. 심리학자들은 어릴 적 부성애 결핍이 섹스에 탐닉하게 했다고 해석한다.
 미국 언론이 버락 오바마 상원의원이 19년 전 교통 범칙금을 내지 않은 사실까지 확인하는 것도 병은 고쳐져도 버릇은 바꾸기 어렵기 때문이다. 상원의원이 될 때는 굳이 들추지 않았던 과거다.
