丰臣秀吉

此后，丰臣秀吉逐步控制日本，最终结束已经持续了150年的战国时代。

He continued taking over Japan , eventually ending the warring states period that had lasted 150 years .

这种意识自古就存在于日本神话之中，而丰臣秀吉率先将侵略神话付诸实践，促使了日本侵略传统的进一步壮大；

This concept has existed in the Japanese myth since old times . Then these myths had been practiced , which enabled Japan 's aggression tradition further to expand .

作为日本新的统治者，丰臣秀吉两次征讨朝鲜，并设法禁止社会阶层的流动性，因为他认为农民无法成为统治者。

As the new regent of Japan he launched two invasions of Korea , put an end to social mobility since he didn 't think a peasant should be a ruler .

丰臣秀吉还将民众分为四个固定的社会等级，而武士阶级成为日本的国家官僚，并定期配发薪俸。

Toyotomi Hideyoshi 's division of society into four fixed classes was preserved , and the samurai ( military ) class became the civil bureaucrats , its members paid with stipends of rice .

丰臣秀吉出生在16世纪的日本，他七岁丧父，生来就是农民，又长得极其丑陋，所以换句话说，他早年过的很差劲。

A peasant born in 16th century Japan , Toyotomi was fatherless at the age of seven , a peasant , and pretty famously ugly . So in other words , he got a pretty crappy start in life .
