McCain faces a deep divide among Republicans. Many conservatives see him as a liberal who has too often compromised with Democrats in order to move legislation through Congress.

M在共和党内部面临很大的分歧。许多保守派认为他是自由主义者，因为他为了在国会获得立法通过，常常对民主党妥协。

One of McCain's biggest problems with conservative Republican voters came two years ago when he co-sponsored an immigration reform bill that they said amounted to an amnesty for 12 million foreigners who had entered the United States illegally. McCain says he now believes the border must be made secure before any other program can be implemented, but he still backs a guest worker program and a path to citizenship for immigrants already here who do not have a criminal record.

对于保守派的民主党投票者而言，M的一个最大问题是两年前他和别人共同提出的一个几乎是让非法进入美国的120万外国人获得特赦的提议。M说他现在相信边界的安全是一切活动实现的前提，但是他依然支持“客工计划”和让已在美国且没有犯罪记录的外国人成为公民。

Former President Bush addressed conservatives in making his endorsement of McCain, saying that the senator's credentials as a conservative are solid.

前总统布什在宣布支持M的时候对保守派说M作为保守派是非常坚定的。

Senator McCain's only remaining opponent in the race for the Republican nomination is former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, who is campaigning in the Midwestern state of Wisconsin before its primary Tuesday. Huckabee told reporters there he intends to stay in the race despite the momentum that Senator McCain has developed and the backing he has received from party leaders.

参议员M获得民主党提名的唯一的对手是前阿克萨斯州州长MH，他目前正在中西部州威斯康辛州做周二初选前的竞选活动。他在哪里告诉记者他仍然希望继续竞选，即使参议员M势头强劲并得到党内领袖的支持。

Amnesty大赦

momentum 1 the ability to keep increasing, developing, or being more successful: gain/gather momentum

if an attitude, remark, situation etc amounts to something, it has the same effect:   --The court's decision amounts to a not guilty verdict. --Ultimately, their ideas amount to the same thing .
