Jimmy Carter － the 39th president of the United States － has marked a new milestone as the oldest living former president ever.
吉米‧卡特—美國第39任總統，締造一個新的里程碑，成為美國史上最長壽的在世總統。
On Friday, Mr. Carter reached the age of 94 years and 172 days, becoming the longest-living president in U.S. history. He passed the previous record held by the late President George H.W. Bush, who died Nov. 30 at the age of 94 years, 171 days.
週五，卡特先生活了94歲又172天，成為美國史上活得最久的總統。他超越已故前總統老布希保持的紀錄，布希於去年11月30日過世，享耆壽94歲又171天。
In 2015, Carter announced doctors had discovered a form of melanoma that spread to his brain. He received his first radiation treatment at 90 years old. Four months later, he said he was cancer-free.
2015年，卡特宣布醫生發現一種黑色素瘤已擴散到他的腦部。他以90歲高齡接受生平首次放射治療。4個月後，他宣告體內已無癌細胞。
Carter, who served in the White House from 1977 to 1981, was just 52-years-old when he assumed the Oval Office. His participation in Carter Center programs in global peace earned him a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
卡特在1977至1981年間入主白宮，當他掌管橢圓形辦公室時年僅52歲。他在「卡特中心」全球和平計畫的參與，讓他於2002年贏得諾貝爾和平獎。
