駱家輝于1950年1月21日在美國華盛頓州的西雅圖出生。他的祖父來自中國廣東省的臺山。駱家輝在家中五個子女中排行第二，他的父親曾經在二戰中服役于美國軍隊。

Through part-time jobs， financial (財政的) aids and scholarships (獎學金)， Locke attended Yale University. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science in 1972. He later received his Juris Doctor’s degree from the Boston University School of Law in 1975.

通過自己進行兼職、財政資助和贏得獎學金，駱家輝進入了耶魯大學進行學習。1972年，他從耶魯大學獲得了政治科學學士學位。1975年，駱家輝獲得了波士頓法學院法學博士學位。

In 1982， Locke was elected to the member of Washington House of Representatives (眾議院) in South Seattle district. Eleven years later， Locke made history by becoming the first Chinese American to be elected King County’s sheriff (郡長). In 1996， he won the primary and general elections for governor， becoming the first Chinese governor in United States history.

1982年，駱家輝所在的南西雅圖選區選舉他為華盛頓州眾議院議員。11年之后，駱家輝創造了歷史，成為了第一位美國華盛頓州金郡的第一位以及目前唯一一位華裔郡長。1996年，他獲得了初選和終選的勝利，成為美國歷史上第一位華裔州長。

Locke was the 21st Governor of Washing-

ton， serving from 1997 to 2005. He was the first governor of a state in the Continental United States of Asian descent， and was the only Chinese American ever to serve as a governor. He was then appointed by President Barack Obama as United States Secretary of Commerce.

駱家輝擔任了美國華盛頓州1997年到2005年期間的州長。他是第一位來自亞洲的人士擔此重任，同樣也是目前唯一一位華裔美國州長。隨后，他被美國總統奧巴馬任命為商務部部長。

Following the resignation of Jon Hunts-

man， Locke was nominated (提名) by President Obama to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the People’s Republic of China. The Senate (參議員) confirmed him by agreement on July 27， 2011. On August 1， 2011， Locke resigned (辭職) as Secretary of Commerce and took up his new post. On his first news conference after arriving in Beijing， Locke said that he would promote bilateral (雙邊的) cooperation and understanding between the two countries. And we hope that he can complete the work very well.

隨著洪博培的卸任，奧巴馬總統提名駱家輝擔任駐華大使。參議院也在2011年6月27日通過這項決議。2011年8月1日，駱家輝辭去了商務部部長的職務，開始擔任新的職務。在他到達北京的時候，他召開了記者招待會，他提到，要加強雙邊關系的發展，推動兩國之間的合作和理解。我們也希望駱家輝能夠將自己的工作完成得非常出色。
