用法筆記
This is a proper noun (surname). When used alone without a first name, context usually determines which Roosevelt is meant — often Franklin D. Roosevelt (the 32nd president) in US historical discussion. Theodore Roosevelt (the 26th president) and Eleanor Roosevelt (the former first lady and UN delegate) are also frequently referenced by surname alone in appropriate contexts.
