有关美国选举的常用英语词汇
有关美国选举的常用英语词汇 预选会议(Caucus) —特指以促进政治上或组织上的变化为目的的聚会。在美国选举政治中，这个词专指在提名总统候选人的过程中，党的地方活动人士举行的会议。所谓"分层"预选会议制，是指政党地方活动人士在地方选区会议上选出参加高一级行政区会议的代表，这一级代表再选出参加州一级会议的代表，最后由州级会议代表选出参加本党全国提名代表大会的代表。预选会议制旨在通过选出支持某一候选人的代表来表明政党在各州内的党员所希望推举的本党总统候选人。这种做法使决定总统候选人的程序始于基层，因此将总统提名程序民主化。 燕尾提举力(Coattails) —从旧时绅士长礼服后下摆"燕尾"一词引申而来，在美国政治中，指一位在职民选官员或竞选公职的候选人利用自己的声望给本党其他候选人增加胜选机会的能力──好似让别人受其燕尾之提举，顺势走向胜利。 会后弹升(Convention bounce) —在共和党或民主党全国代表大会完成总统候选人提名的几天内出现的这位候选人在民意调查中声望上升的现象。 辩论(Debate) —近年在美国政治中，往往指由电视现场传播的总统或副总统候选人之间的辩论；他们通过回答媒体或观众的提问来阐述自己和自己政党的立场观点。 分掌政府(Divided government) —通常指白宫由一个政党控制(即总统是这个党的成员)，而国会参、众两院中的至少一院由对立派政党控制(即其成员占多数)的局面。这种情形也会出现在州政府，即州长属于一个党，而控制州议会的是另一个党。分掌政府是美国政体的常见现象，从历史效果来看，它有利于避免激进的变化，并促使两党政治家在立法提案问题上做出妥协。 选举团(Electoral College) —当美国选民前往投票站投票选举总统时，很多人认为自己是在直接选举总统。但美国采用的是十八世纪宪法定下的选举团制度，因此，严格地讲，情况并非如此。选举团是一组"选举人"的总称，他们由各州党员在州内提名产生。在大选日，选民实际是把票投给承诺支持某位总统候选人的"选举人"。哪位候选人赢得的选民票数最多，支持这位候选人的"选举人"就将作为这个州的代表，出席于12月分别在各州州府举行的选举总统和副总统的投票。总统候选人必须在全国获得至少270张选举人票方可当选。 联邦选举委员会(Federal Election Commission) —负责贯彻和监督执行联邦竞选财务法的独立管理机构，根据对1971年联邦竞选法的1974年修正案设立。 前置(Front-loading) —在大选进程中，将预选会议/预选选举的日期尽量提早的做法，以便使本州的预选有助于给总统提名竞选制造决定性势头，进而对最终政党提名总统候选人产生举足轻重的影响。 领先者(Front-runner) —在竞选或提名过程中被认为呼声最高或最有希望当选 的候选人。

London Company的日子其实一直不好过，即使jamestown可以卖烟草，但是London Company 赚的钱还是很少，为了解决招商引资的问题，他们决定做出了决定。你去美国那边可以自己建政府！叫区域自制。类似于自治区。 于是，1619年，House of Burgesses, 建立了（这种英文不知道怎么翻译，也没必要翻译）。它是first representative government in the New World. 6. 1675, 一个叫Nathaniel Beacon 发起了个rebellion against Governor Berkeley. 史称Beacon Rebellion. 主要原因是官员Berkeley“清剿”“印匪”工作不利，导致Beacon自己领导了一个500人的军队去“清剿”印第安人（美国教材也习惯性叫他们Native America）。Berkeley 非常尽责，他表示beacon的行为违法了。Beacon怒了，一把火烧了jamestown。但是Berkeley还是率领军队打败了Beacon。 7. 1640年，slaves(非洲奴隶)被引进jamestown.

2016年美国大选第一场辩论
2016年美国大选第一场辩论 2016年美国总统候选人“首场电视辩论”于美东时间26日晚在纽约长岛霍夫斯特拉大学开锣，民主党的希拉里·克林顿和共和党的唐纳德·特朗普首次同台正面交锋。点下方视频观看完整版“红黑大战”，练听力和辩论的绝佳素材! 首次电视辩论共设三大议题： （1）美国的繁荣 （2）美国的未来方向 （3）国家安全问题 1 如何化解种族纷争 主持人提问特朗普，他不断质疑奥巴马的出生地，问他对化解种族纷争有何说法。特朗普答：“我没有说法。是我迫使他拿出出生证明，他早就应该拿出来了。我没说法。” 2 真相查证战 在经济议题上，特朗普称希拉里曾经赞扬《跨太平洋伙伴关系协议》(TPP)。对此，希拉里回击表示，特朗普误导大众，让外界以为她赞成TPP，“我知道你活在自己的世界里，但这些都不是事实。”希拉里请观众上她的官网，直接点击查证特朗普说的话是真是假。特朗普稍后则回击称：“去查她的网站，她只会告诉我们如何打击IS，在她的网站讨论打击IS，我不认为麦克阿瑟将军也会做同样的事。”希拉里忍不住开玩笑说：“我感觉，今晚我会一直被怪罪所有以前发生的事情。”特朗普反击道：“为什么不?”希拉里则说：“是啊，为什么不?继续在辩论会上说更多疯狂的事吧!” 3 特朗普缴税议题
希拉里质疑特朗普迟迟未公布缴税纪录。对此，特朗普回应称：“我会公布我的缴税纪录，尽管我的律师不同意。只要她(希拉里)公布被她删除的3万3千封电邮内容，我就会公布缴税纪录。”希拉里表示，特朗普不公布税务纪录的原因有三：“第一，他(特朗普)不如他所说的有钱。第二，或许他也没有如他所说捐出这么多钱。第三：我们根本不知道他做些什么生意。”希拉里还说，或许特朗普根本没缴任何所得税，特朗普则回答：“这显示我很聪明。” 4 特朗普捍卫做生意的方式 希拉里抨击特朗普苛刻员工，并让数间公司倒闭。特朗普则回击，他是生意人，自然会利用对他有利的法律规范经营公司，如果希拉里不满意，她应该去改这些法条。特朗普还说，如果他最后无法入主白宫，起码还有间饭店就在白宫对面。 5 特朗普抨击希拉里没有足够精力 特朗普抨击希拉里没有担当总统的精力，还说他有胆走入偏远地区和非裔美国选民面对面，但希拉里却只会待在家里。对此，希拉里反击称：“刚刚特朗普抨击我不应好好准备这场辩论。没错，我在家准备辩论，但你知道吗，我还准备好了担任总统。” 6 特朗普罕见竟同意希拉里的政策 特朗普说在儿童照料政策上，他和希拉里有相同的看法，也就是要给予家庭更多友善的经济政策，但在细节上两人仍有不同看法。

Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone, whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference. 5.I just spoke with Gov. Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign. We may have battled fiercely, but it’s only because we love this country deeply and we care so strongly about its future. From George to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen to give back to America through public service and that is the legacy that we honor and applaud tonight. In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Gov. Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward. 6.I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, America’s happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could ever hope for, Joe Biden. 7.And I would n’t be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago. Let me say this publicly: Michelle, I have never loved you more. I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you, too, as our nation’s first lady.Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes you’re growing up to become two strong, smart beautiful young women, just like your mom. And I’m so proud of you guys. But I will say that for now one dog’s probably enough. 8.To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics. The best. The best ever. Some of you were new this time around, and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning. But all of you are family. No matter what you do or where

Transcript of President Obama’s Victory Speech November 7, 2012 PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. (Sustained cheers, applause.) Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward. (Cheers, applause.) It moves forward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an American family, and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people. (Cheers, applause.) Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America, the best is yet to come. (Cheers, applause.) I want to thank every American who participated in this election. (Cheers, applause.) Whether you voted for the very first time— (cheers) — or waited in line for a very long time — (cheers) — by the way, we have to fix that. (Cheers, applause.) Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone — (cheers, applause) — whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference.

In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Governor Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward. (Cheers, applause.) I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, America’s happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could ever hope for, Joe Biden. (Cheers, applause.)
