不要相信政客说的空话。

For example, he calls the politician Cleon 'Jagged Teeth' to make fun of his physical appearance.

For every rational businessperson reassured by the fact that Mr Obama has appointed economically literate free SPANaders, there will be a union leader moaning that a bunch of Clintonian reSPANeads will never deliver the change America needs.

奥巴马对精通经济的自由贸易论者委以重任，让理性的生意人放下心来，但他们都将会遭遇一个工会领导如此抱怨–克林顿风格的政客永远不会推进美国所需要的改革。

Weak, deceitful, clownish, boorish, squabbling, thuggish and corrupt politicians in the east risk destroying the flagging enthusiasm of west European voters for further enlargement of the EU.

毕竟，任何计划一旦有如此众多的政客认同，它本身难免就是一辆将被换下的破车。

Sometimes he consoled himself by that. But indeed he knew that he wasn't much better than any of those nigger servants who worked in those rich families. He had nothing but a poor job on the fancy boat. He could be very upset and depressed. But he couldn't leave his job; he needed it to make a living. Also he loved his job for he could at least take a close look at the life he probably could never reach. The luxurious boats where he worked somehow would represent Anthony's dream of life ? beautiful women in the fancy dresses, gentlemen throwing cash on the gambling tables, drunk politicians talking quibbles, coltish young ladies flirting and laughing at the bar… Life seemed so beautiful there.

The second difficulty comes from the confliction between private interests of politicians and public interests of the people.

导致代理失灵的第二个困难，是来自政客私人利益与人民公共利益之间的冲突。

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