It went to the heart of the nagging worry about the silver-tongued young senator from Illinois: that he lacked even the slightest executive experience, and that in his brief career he had never really stood up to powerful interests, whether in his home city of Chicago or in the wider world.

这触到了奥巴马的要害，这位来自伊利诺伊州的雄辩的年轻参议员甚至没有丝毫的行政工作经验，他从来没有真正经历过巨大利益的检验，无论是在他的家乡芝加哥还是在更广泛的世界。

这句话对于她的对手——来自伊利诺伊州虽然年轻但非常雄辩的参议员奥巴马来说，正是一针见血地道出了挑剔的人们挥之不去的那层担心：奥巴马一点起码的行政管理经验都没有，而且在他短暂的职业生涯中，无论是在他的家乡芝加哥，或是在更广泛的政治舞台上，他从来没有真正面对过强大的利益集团。

人们当时对这位来自伊利诺伊州能言善辩的参议员心存疑虑，此话可谓正中这种疑虑之要害：他缺乏哪怕是最浅的执政资历，并且在他短暂的从政生涯中还从未遇到过强有力的利益集团压力的考验，不管是在他的老家芝加哥还是其他地方。

这话可是说到了伊利诺斯州这为三寸不烂之舌的参议员小伙心坎上去了：就连那么一丁点儿的执政经验他都拿不出来。从政这不多些年中，他从来没有说真真正正地面对过强大利益集团的考验，在老家芝加哥就没有，更甭说外面的世界了。

The right may lambast McCain for failing to vote for Bush's tax cuts or for seeking restrictions on guns, but that makes the senator appealing in the eyes of moderates.

One had refused to pursue allegations of voter fraud in the 2004 governor's race in Washington state, which a Democrat won by a hair's breadth. One successfully prosecuted a former Republican representative for conspiracy. Another complained that he felt pressure from a Republican senator, Pete Domenici, who called him at home to ask whether indictments in a corruption case involving state Democrats would be handed down before last year's elections. And one in Arkansas was pushed aside to make room for a chum of Karl Rove, George Bush's top strategist.

其中，一个拒绝追查2004年华盛顿州州长选举中的选民欺诈传闻，那次选举，民主党人以微弱优势险胜；一个则成功起诉了有合谋嫌疑的前共和党人议员；还有一个抱怨道，去年，一些州民主党人卷入了一桩腐败案，共和党参议员皮特·多梅尼西登门造访，问该案的指控能否在选举前定案，他因此感到压力很大；而阿肯色州的一名检察官之所以靠边站，因为他要给乔治·布什的军师卡尔·罗夫的好友腾地方。

He threatened to crush all resistance and ended up ensnared in a scandal over surveillance of Joe Bruno, the Republican state senate leader.

He was a one-term senator with a silver tongue and populist touch but an unremarkable legislative record.

他只做过一任参议员，虽得到&银舌头&和&平民化&的美誉，其立法纪录却乏善可陈。

Breath, muscle contraction of the buttocks; arch body, as far as possible to hold his head, right leg straight towards the ceiling (peg-leg knee in order to avoid muscle tension).
