Children are brought up (or raised) to believe that if they work hard enough, they can even become the president of the United States.
美国的孩子从小就被灌输了只要够努力，他们甚至可以成为美国总统这样的观念。
Almost any American can become president. There are three requirements for becoming president: citizenship, residency, and age.

Let's look at them one at a time.

The only exception is if you are a U.S. citizen who was born abroad (or in another country) but whose parents were both U.S. citizens.
只有一种情况例外，就是一个在外国出生的美国人，他的父母是美国国籍，
In this case, you can still become president.
这种情况下你依然可以成为美国总统。
Anyone else, such as an immigrant who came to the United States at a very young age, even as a baby,
其他诸如移民，即使是很年轻甚至还是婴儿的时候来的美国，
and became a citizen is not eligible (or does not meet the requirements) to become president.
