The debate, on the campus of the University of Texas in Austin, was marked more by broad agreement on policy issues from immigration to health care; from the war in Iraq to this week's resignation by Cuban president Fidel Castro. But there were a few contentious moments. One came when Senator Obama was asked about charges that he had stolen phrases from a speech by Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, using them in his own speeches without attribution.

在奥斯丁州的德州大学校园内，政治问题的讨论更加的广泛，从移民问题到医疗保障，从伊拉克战争到本周古巴总统FC辞职。但是仍然有引起争议的话题，其中一个就是参议员O被问及他在自己演讲中抄袭M州州长DP演讲内容而没有做出说明。

"The notion that I had plagiarized from someone who is one of my national co-chairs, who gave me the line and suggested that I use it, I think is silly. "

我认为说我剽窃某人言论的说法是可笑的。该人是我的一位国家副主席，他给我一些句子并建议我使用。

Senator Clinton followed up by saying that if a candidate bases his campaign on words, they should be his own. "There is no doubt that you are a passionate, eloquent speaker and I applaud you for that, but when you look at what we face in this country. We do need to unite the country, but we have to unite it for a purpose around very specific goals. "

参议员克林顿接下来发言说如果一个竞选者的竞选活动建立在语言上，就必须保证是他自己的。毫无疑问，你是一个热情，口才一流的演讲者，我为你鼓掌，但是当你看到我们国家面临的问题。我们需要团结国家，但我们应该有目的地围绕特定的目标而联合
