美国总统签名多为机器代劳

曾经替前总统克林顿“执掌”自动签名机的总统信件信息主管杰克肖克说：“自动签名机在白宫内受保护程度排在第二位，仅次于总统。”

Jim Cicconi, who oversaw the use of autopens for President George H.W. Bush, recalls that the plastic signature templates for the machines — yes, there was more than one autopen — would wear out from repeated use.

据前总统老布什的自动签名机使用负责人吉姆西科尼回忆，自动签名机不止一台，由于重复使用，机器的塑料签字模板很容易损耗。

Ronald Reagan had 22 different signature templates, including "Ron," "Dutch" and other iterations, to boost the auraof authenticity surrounding his fake signatures, says Stephen Koschal, an autograph authenticator who two years ago published a guide to presidential autopen signatures.

笔迹鉴定者史蒂芬柯什尔两年前出版了一本关于总统使用自动签名机签名的指南。他称前总统罗纳德里根有22个不同的签名模版，包括包括“Ron”，“Dutch”，以及其它类似的签名等等，以增加“假签名”的真实感。

It's not just ordinary Americans who get the autopen treatment.

获赠自动签名机签名的不仅仅是普通美国人。

Koschal says he once visited Vice President Dan Quayle's office in the Capitol and spotted a signed photograph from the first President Bush that he said had clearly been autopenned.
