79.Who was President during World War I?
79.第一次世界大战期间谁担任总统？
Answer: (Woodrow) Wilson
答案：（伍德罗）威尔逊
Explanation: When Woodrow Wilson became the 28th president of the United States in 1912,
解释：当伍德罗·威尔逊于1912年成为美国第28任总统时，
he had no idea (or absolutely did not know) that he would have to lead the country through the first global war,
他根本就不知道（或完全不知道）他必须领导该国经历第一个全球的战争，
or a war that affected (or changed or influenced) the whole world.
或者是一场波及（或改变或影响了）整个世界的战争。
World War I began in 1914 and it affected the rest of his presidency (or the time when he was president).
第一次世界大战始于1914年，它影响了他的总统剩余任期（或他担任总统的时候）。
At first, President Wilson wanted the United States to be as neutral as possible, not fighting on either side of the war.
起初，威尔逊总统希望美国尽可能地保持中立，不跟任何一方交战。
However, the Germans kept attacking (or fighting) with submarines, which are large boats that travel under the water, where they can't be seen.
然而，德国人不断地用潜艇攻击（或战斗），也就是在看不见的水下潜航的大型船只。
This made President Wilson decide to enter the war.
这就促使威尔逊总统决定参战。
He started the United States' first real draft in 1917.
1917年，他发动了美国首次实际有效的征兵。
The draft made young American men fight in the army whether they wanted to or not.
这一征兵让年轻的美国人参军打仗，无论他们是否愿意。
