【我的总结与翻译】

In the sharpest attack in the debate, Clinton said that Obama's message was not "change you can believe in, it's change you can (Xerox)" -- a reference to a well-known photo copy machine. The line fell flat, however, and drew boos from audience.

在争论中最激烈的攻击是，Clinton称Obama的言辞不是“大家可以信任的变革，而只是大家可能用复印机复印的变革”。（这里提及的Xerox是一种著名的照片影印机。）但Clinton的这种说法并没有达到目的，仍有很多听众对此喝倒彩。

In another exchange, the two candidates sparred over who would be the most ready to assume the position of commander in chief.

在另一次交锋中，两位候选人就谁能准备的最充分来担当主要领导人进行了争辩。

Clinton emphasized her experience over the past 7 years in the senate and cited an Obama supporter who had trouble coming up with a signle accomplishment by the Illinois senator.

Clinton强调了她过去7年在参议院的经验，还引用Obama的一个支持者所说的话，这位支持者曾指出很难列出这位伊利诺斯州议员的任何一项政绩。

Obama said he believed he was ready to take on the responsibilities of the presidency and he noted that every major newspaper in Texas has endorsed him. In response to a question on how he would confront the probable Republican nominee, Senator John McCain, a decorated war veteran, Obama noted that McCain has supported the war in Iraq, while he, Obama, had opposed it.

Obama表示，他认为他已作好准备来承担总统的职责，并表明德克萨斯州所有大报都支持他。在回答他如何应对很有可能成为共和党提名人McCain参议员这个授予过勋章的老兵时，Obama表示，McCain一直支持伊拉克战争，而他，则一直反对。

"It's going to much easier for the canidate who was opposed to the concept of invading Iraq in the first place to have a debate about the wisdom of that dicision than to have (to argue) about the tactics (used) subsequent (to that) decision."

“对一个起初有反对入侵伊拉克观点的候选人来说，来争论那个决定是否明智远比争论作出这个决定之后的决策要容易的多。”
