[00:00:01] Okay, your schedule today is very busy. 哦，你今天的日程安排得滿滿當(dāng)當(dāng)啊。 [00:04:32] First, you 're meeting with a group of constituents concerned about the environment. 首先，你要會見一個選民小組，他們對環(huán)境問題非常關(guān)心。 [00:11:07] Then, you 're speaking to a group of factory workers. 然后，你要對一家工廠的工人發(fā)表演講。 [00:15:43] At noon, you 'll be having lunch with a group of high power donors. 中午，你要同一些有影響力的競選捐助人共進午餐。 [00:20:59] When I signed on as a candidate, I had no idea I 'd have to pander to every group out there to gain their support. 在我決定成為競選候選人的時候，我真不知道需要迎合這么多的團體以爭取獲得他們的支持。 [00:31:55] do not think of it as pandering. 不要將那視為迎合。 [00:34:57] Think of it as rallying the troops. 相反，你應(yīng)將那視為集結(jié)部隊。 [00:38:11] People in this state need a leader and you're their great white hope. 這種狀態(tài)下的人民需要一個領(lǐng)袖，而你就是他們的希望之所在。 [00:44:37] I decided to run because I wanted to be a voice of reason in the partisan bickering. 我之所以決定參選是因為我想在那些黨派爭吵中發(fā)出自己的聲音。 [00:52:58] I did not sign on to be a poster boy for my political party. 我沒想讓我的政黨把我弄成“宣傳天使”。 [00:59:03] You can make a difference when you get elected, but first things first: you need to get elected. 當(dāng)選之后，你就可以大展身手了，但目前的重中之重是：你需要成功當(dāng)選。 [01:06:43] Ready to go? 準(zhǔn)備好了嗎？ [01:07:49] What happened to the good old days when all you had to do was a little gerrymandering to get elected? 以前多好啊，沒什么選區(qū)劃分之類的黨派利益之爭，如今，那些好的傳統(tǒng)都到那里去了？ [01:17:47] I 'm glad you brought that up. 很高興你提起這事來。 [01:20:03] Your meeting with the committee on redistricting is this afternoon at 2:00. 你與選區(qū)重劃委員會的會面時間是是今天下午2:00。 [01:24:53] I 'm sorry I asked! 當(dāng)我沒說！
