The Campaign for Election
Although presidential elections occur every 4 years, many people feel that they do not have a true understanding of how presidential campaigns operate.
The winner in the November general election is almost certain to be either the Republican or the Democratic nominee.①A minor-party or independent candidate, such as George Wallace in 1968, John Anderson in 1980, or Ross Perot in 1992 and 1996, can draw votes away from the major-party nominees but stands almost no chance of defeating them.②
1.此句中,be certain to do sth. 表示“一定会做某事”。
例:He is certain to agree with the plan. 他肯定会同意这个计划的。
“either … or”表示“或者…或者”。
此句的意思:“11月大选的获胜者几乎可以肯定不是共和党就是民主党提名的候选人。”
2.在本句中,“draw … away from …”表示“把…从…拉走;吸引开”
例如:The on-going performance outside the classroom drew the students‘ attention away from their books. 教室外面正在进行的表演把学生的注意力从书本上吸引开了。
此句意思:“小党派或独立候选人,如1968年的乔治·华莱士、1980年的约翰·安德森,或者1992年和1996年的罗斯·佩罗等,可能会从大党的提名人那里拉走一些选票,但几乎没有人可能战胜他们。”
“stand almost no chance of …。”表示“几乎没有可能”。
A major-party nominee has the critical advantage of support from the party faithful. Earlier in the twentieth century, this support was so firm and steady that the victory of the stronger party‘s candidate was almost a certainty. Warren G. Harding accepted the 1920 Republican nomination at his Ohio home, stayed there throughout most of the campaign, and won a full victory simply because most of the voters of his time were Republicans. ③Party loyalty has declined in recent decades, but more than two-thirds of the nation’s voters still identify themselves as Democrats or Republicans, and most of them support their party‘s presidential candidate. Even Democrat George McGovern, who had the lowest level of party support among recent nominees, was backed in 1972 by nearly 60 percent of his party’s voters.
3.这是由三个并列谓语加一个原因状语从句构成的复合句。
沃伦·G·哈定在他俄亥俄州的家中接受了1920年共和党的提名,而且竞选期间
他多数时间是呆在家里。他最终大获全胜仅仅是因为那个时期多数选民是共和党成员。
Presidential candidates act strategically. In deciding whether to pursue a course of action, they try to estimate its likely impact on the voters.④ During the 1992 campaign, a sign on the wall of Clinton‘s headquarters in Little Rock read, “The Economy, Stupid.” The slogan was the idea of James Carville, Clinton’s chief strategist, and was meant as a reminder to the candidate and the staff to keep the campaign focused on the nation‘s slow-moving economy, which ultimately was the issue that defeated Bush.⑤ As in 1980, when Jimmy Carter lost to Ronald Reagan during tough economic times, the voters were motivated largely by a desire for change.⑥
