竞选

Recently, I was back in southern Illinois, driving with one of my downstate field directors, a young white man named Robert Stephan, after a long day of speeches and appearances in the area.

最近，我又再去了伊州南部，我是和州南部的一个竞选活动现场主管一起去的，他是一位年青的白人，名叫罗伯特。

Dan had been both a UPI reporter and a field coordinator for several downstate campaigns, so he knew the territory pretty well.

丹也是合众国际社（United Press International，美国第二大通讯社，国际性通讯社之一）的一名记者，并且是几场州南部竞选活动的现场协调员，所以他非常清楚两党在州内的势力范围。

The race was uneventful except for the press conference on the steps of the Capitol in which his campaign accused me of being a draft dodger.

洛。竞选过程中没有发生什么大的事件，只有一次例外。当时，在州议会大厦的台阶上举行了一个记者招待会，对方指责我曾经逃避兵役。

He said that I would be totally occupied for the next two years in staying out of jail, and called me a draft dodger who was tainted by ethical lapses, corrupt campaign financing, and a lax attitude toward drug use.

他说我将会"在接下来的两年里完全忙着如何摆脱牢狱之灾"，称我为"逃兵役者"，说我有各种缺点，道德沦丧，以腐败方式筹措竞选经费，对滥用毒品的人抱着放纵态度。

During the campaign Mr Dumont was plagued by the ill-chosen remarks of ill-chosen candidates.

由于不慎选择候选人的不慎言论，杜蒙在竞选过程中狼狈不堪。

And Mr Dumont's party was heavily outspent by the Liberals and the Parti Québécois.

而且自由党和魁人党的竞选开支也远远超过了杜蒙的党派。

In the presidential campaign, his opponents attacked him duplicitous and engage in intrigue.

在竞选总统时，他的对手攻击他两面三刀，搞阴谋诡计。

He's run a strong, powerful campaign," Edwards said."

"他进行了一场强有力的竞选。"

The debate about Clinton's beliefs is linked to one about her electability.

关于希拉里信念的争辩和她的竞选联系在一起的。

What is more, if Barack Obama does eventually prevail, this long campaign will have been the perfect test of his electability as President.

更重要的是，如果奥巴马最终占上风，这漫长的竞选将是他当选总统能力的最完美考验。

But we don't care about Battlegrounds.

但我们并不在乎沙场中的显露。

Ah! don't mention it, the butcher's shop is a horror.

啊！不用提了。提到肉，真是糟透了。
