麦克莱恩

Having lengthily lionised "America's mayor", Rudy Giuliani, looked longingly at Reagan-lite Fred Thompson, flirted with millionaire Mitt Romney and sung along with preacherman Mike Huckabee, the party's voters have sensibly plumped for John McCain, the only Republican whom pollsters give a chance of keeping the White House out of Democratic hands.

他们先是将鲁迪朱利安尼奉为&美国的市长&，称道之声，不绝于耳；后又对佛莱德汤普森寄予厚望，希望他继承里根总统的衣钵；忽而垂青于百万富翁米特罗姆尼；忽而与传教士迈克赫卡比放声高歌；但最后，共和党的选民终于理智地选择了党内唯一有望与民主党人争夺总统宝座的候选人：约翰麦凯恩。

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。
