（单词翻译）

 February 22nd, 1732George Washington, the first president of the United States, is born in what's then the Virginia Colony. Washington commanded American forces during the Revolutionary War and led the Founding Fathers in drafting the U.S. Constitution.

2006, insurgents1 destroy the golden dome2 of one of Iraq's holiest Shiite shrines- the Askariya mosque3 in Samarra. The blast sets off a spasm4 of sectarian violence in Iraq; just years after the U.S. led invasion topples Saddam Hussein from power.
1980, the 'Miracle on Ice' at the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid5, New York, that’s where the American hockey team beats the heavily favored Soviet6 Union, four-to-three. ABC announcer Al Michaels: Eleven seconds, you’ve got ten seconds, the countdown going on right now...Morrow up to Silk...five seconds left in the game! Do you believe in miracle? Yes! Unbelievable!” The U.S. team later claims the gold medal by beating Finland. The Soviets7 take the silver.
And 1987, in New York, pop artist Andy Warhol, known for his renderings8 of Campbell Soup Cans, dies at the age of 58.
Today in History. February 22nd, Ross Simpson, the Associated Press.
