政客

You can see with half an eye that there is a difference between a politician and a statesman.

你可一望而知，政客与政治家是有不同之处。

During election season some politicians pay only lip service to their voters.

在选举期间，一些政客对选民只是说些不诚\恳的承诺。

Although politicians pay lip service to those goals, insufficient effort has been made to structure incentives in that direction.

尽管政客门口惠于这些目标，但是构建朝着这个方向动机的努力还远远不够。

When he made his formal announcement, he had a broom in his hand and said he wanted to make a clean sweep of state government, clearing out old ideas and career politicians.

在他发表正式的参选声明时，手里握着一把笤帚，声称要对州政府进行大清扫，把陈旧的理念和职业政客们赶出去。1974年隔壁州的州长戴维。

American politicians have periodically allowed a tax break for wind generation to expire, for example.

比如，美国政客曾周期性终止风力发电的免税政策。

Yet once the storm abates – and FT colleagues better versed in these matters tell me that it will take some time – the task for politicians will be to ask some bigger questions.

不过，一旦暴风雨消退（在此领域颇有造诣的同事告诉我，这尚需时日）政客的任务将会是提出一些较大的问题。

Local officials are often open to bribery, while politicians are prone to declaring amnesties for illegal buildings ahead of an election.

地方官员经常公开受贿，而政客们则喜欢在选举之前宣布特赦这些非法建筑。

The crowd gave the visiting politician quite a barracking.

群众对这位来访的政客鼓噪抗议。

Becalmed as they are, however, current prices are clearly not achieving the policy aims which led politicians to create them in the first place.

尽管他们仍很镇静，以现在的价格很明显不能达到政客们原先制定的那个目标。

But even when politicians say they're beefing up infrastructure, it rarely helps the poorest Indians.

但即使当政客们说他们增强基础建设，这很难帮助到最穷的印度人。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
