No.

The two temperature scales have different zero points. When Daniel Fahrenheit defined the zero temperature on his scale, it was for the freezing point of brine. His temperature for the freezing point of water was thus 32 degrees. When Anders Celsius created his thermometer scale, he used the freezing and boiling points of water, and divided the space between into 100 equal intervals.* So we have come to define 0 degrees Celsius as equal in temperature to 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

* Celsius originally measured temperature inversely, with 0 for boiling and 100 for freezing, but not long afterward Carolus Linnaeus established the current version.

Nope, it's the other way around. 32 degrees Celsius = 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit. However, 32 degrees Fahrenheit equals 0 degrees Celsius.
