Ross Perot, Who Mounted Independent Presidential Bids, Dies at 89
罗斯·佩罗去世,享年89岁

(DALLAS) — H. Ross Perot, the colorful, self-made Texas billionaire who rose from a childhood of Depression-era poverty and twice ran for president as a third-party candidate, has died. He was 89.

德克萨斯州多姿多彩、白手起家的亿万富翁 H·罗斯·佩罗(h. Ross Perot)去世,他从大萧条时代的贫困中长大,曾两次以第三党候选人的身份竞选总统。 他89岁了。

Perot, whose 19% of the vote in 1992 stands among the best showings by an independent candidate in the past century, died early Tuesday at his home in Dallas surrounded by his devoted family, family spokesman James Fuller said.

佩罗在1992年获得了19% 的选票,是过去一个世纪以来最好的独立候选人之一。家庭发言人詹姆斯·富勒说,佩罗于周二凌晨在达拉斯的家中去世,全家人都在他身边。

As a boy in Texarkana, Texas, Perot delivered newspapers from the back of a pony. He earned his billions in a more modern way, however — by building Electronic Data Systems Corp., which helped other companies manage their computer networks.

当他还是个孩子的时候,他在特克萨卡纳的一匹小马背上送报纸。 不过,他以一种更现代的方式赚取了数十亿美元,即建立了电子数据系统公司(Electronic Data Systems corp.) ,帮助其他公司管理自己的计算机网络。

Yet the most famous event in his career didn’t involve sales and earnings; he financed a private commando raid in 1979 to free two EDS employees who were being held in a prison in Iran. The tale was turned into a book and a movie.

然而,他职业生涯中最著名的事件并不涉及销售和收入; 1979年,他资助了一次私人突击队突袭,解救了两名被关押在伊朗监狱的 EDS 雇员。这个故事被改编成一本书和一部电影。
