He did not receive quite so much support during his time in the White House.

他還在白宮的時候，從來沒受過這么多人的支持。

But it seems that when it comes to George W Bush, absence makes the heart grow fonder for thousands of Americans.

不過，對于小布什來說，只有當(dāng)他不在的時候，人們才會想念他。

In just one day of launching a presence on the social networking site, nearly 62,000 users have become fans, writing tribute messages on his wall declaring how much the ex-U.S. premier is missed.

小布什最近注冊了Facebook，一天之內(nèi)就招攬了62,000個粉絲，大家紛紛留言，表達(dá)自己對這位前總統(tǒng)的思念。

Comments range from the common, ‘God bless you Mr Bush’ and, ‘You are a great man we miss you very much’ to the defensive, ‘I hope someone is monitoring and deleting the negative comments. He doesn't need or deserve to see them’, and, ‘Some people may call him a war criminal, but this man is a HERO. A HERO’.

評論中有最簡單的“愿上帝保佑你”、“你是個很偉大的人，我們都很想念你”，也有很激動的，諸如“誰能把一些負(fù)面評價給刪了？總統(tǒng)先生不應(yīng)該看到這些”、“也許有人會說他是個戰(zhàn)爭罪人，但是我覺得他是個大英雄”。

Then there’s the more succinct: ‘I miss him like I miss smallpox.’

最精辟的一句是：“我懷念他就像懷念天花一樣。”

Mr Bush, who has kept a low profile since leaving the white House in 2009, has posted two comments so far, written in the third person, indicating someone else is updating the site.

小布什自從離任就一直低調(diào)，這回在Facebook上只更新了兩次，都是用第三人稱，以表明這是別人幫他更新的。

The first says: ‘Since leaving office, President Bush has remained active.

第一條說：“離開白宮后，布什總統(tǒng)仍然十分活躍?！?/div>

'He has visited 20 states and 8 countries; given over 65 speeches; launched the George W. Bush Presidential Center; participated in 4 policy conferences through The Bush Institute; finished the first draft of his memoir, “Decision Points”; and partnered with President Clinton to establish the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.

“他訪問個20個州和8個國家，做了65次演講，建立了布什總統(tǒng)中心，參加了4次政治會議，完成了回憶錄的第一份草稿，并與克林頓總統(tǒng)一起創(chuàng)建了克林頓-布什援助海地基金會?！?/div>

'More on his activities in future posts...’

第二條：“敬請期待最新動態(tài)……”
