Obama Ahead of Clinton Before New Hampshire Primary (3/3)
大意
Hilary makes an emotional speech.
听写
“I have so many opportunities from this country, it’s I just don’t want to say as allsee us fall backwards, you know, so…You know this is very personal for me, it’s not just political, it’s not just public. I see what’s happening, and we have to reverse it. And some people think elections are gamesa game and they think it’s like cools who’s up for or who’s down. It’s about our country, it’s about our kids’ futures, it’s really about all of us together.” Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards is currently trilling trailing Obama and Clinton. Acknowledging he is the under dog, Edwards is trying to convince voters he will fight for them. “We cannot have a president or a nominee who represents the stet of oldstatus quo, and on the change front, we need a change candidate, who’s willing to fight for the middle class and fight for jobs and takes that fight personal.” After the New Hampshire primary, other states hold primaries and caucuses in the coming weeks. The state-by-state presidential nominating process commentates culminates with the Democratic and Republican Party’s national conventions in August and September, which set the stage for the general election in November. 生词
culminate 到绝顶，达于极点，达最高潮。
status quo 现状。 翻译
“我在这个国家得到了很多机会。我只是不想看到我们落后。这是为了我自己，不仅仅是政治，不仅仅是公众。我看着正在发生的一切，我们必须改变它。有些人认为选举是一场游戏，他们认为选举只是看看谁上谁下。选举是为了我们的国家，我们孩子的未来，为了我们所有人。”前NC议员JE最近落后O和C。意识到自己的落后，E试图让选民相信他将为他们奋斗。“我们不能选出一个维持现状的总统或候选人。为了改变现状，我们需要一个力图改革的候选人，一个愿意为中产阶级和就业而奋斗的人。”NH的初选后，其他州将会在接下来几周举行初选和预选会议。一个州接一个州的总统提名过程将在8、9月份民主党和共和党的国家会议时达到顶点，为11月的大选做好前期准备。
总结连读，连读，又是连读……不过希拉里的话确实蛮感人的。
