托福阅读材料之奥巴马晚宴演说

2015-01-14 17:25:22来源:网络

  Now, I know at this point many of you are expecting me to go after my likely opponent, Newt Gingrich. Newt, there's still time, man. But I'm not going to do that -- I'm not going to attack any of the Republican candidates. Take Mitt Romney -- he and I actually have a lot in common. We both think of our wives as our better halves, and polls show, to a alarmingly insulting extent, the American people agree. We also both have degrees from Harvard; I have one, he has two. What a snob.

  现在,说道这里我知道很多人都在期待我出言攻击未来的对手,金里奇。纽特你还来得及啊!但我不会那么做。我不会攻击任何共和党候选人。比如鲁姆你,我们两个其实有很多共同点,我们都认为自己的老婆比自己更优秀。而且民意调查显示,令人震惊而难堪的是,很大一部分美国人也这样认为(他俩都没老婆受欢迎)。我们都有哈佛的学位,我有一个,他有两个。真是势利小人。

  Of course, we've also had our differences. Recently, his campaign criticized me for slow jamming the news with Jimmy Fallon. In fact, I understand Governor Romney was so incensed he asked his staff if he could get some equal time on The Merv Griffin Show. Still, I guess Governor Romney is feeling pretty good about things because he took a few hours off the other day to see The Hunger Games -- some of you have seen it. It's a movie about people who court wealthy sponsors and then brutally savage each other until only one contestant is left standing. I'm sure this was a really good change of pace for him. I have not seen The Hunger Games; not enough class warfare for me.

  当然我俩也有不同之处,近年来他的竞选团队批评我和吉米·法伦表演的“最慢新闻风”。实际上,我知道罗姆尼州长气疯了,一直问手下能否上“Merv Griffin秀”(1986年就停播的电视节目)也来这么一长段。而且我举得罗姆尼最近的心情还是不错的,因为前几天他抽时间去看了“饥饿游戏”,有些人看过了,电影讲述的是一群人围了取悦赞助人残忍搏杀,直到剩下最后一位幸存者的故事。他看了这片子绝对可以转换心情啊。我还没看过“饥饿游戏”,对我来说片中的“阶级斗争”还不够(共和党将税务问题称为“阶级斗争”)。

  Of course, I know everybody is predicting a nasty election, and thankfully, we've all agreed that families are off limits. Dogs, however, are apparently fair game. And while both campaigns have had some fun with this, the other day I saw a new ad from one of these outside groups that, frankly,I think crossed the line. I know Governor Romney says he has no control over what his super PACs do, but can we show the ad real quick? (Video is played.)

  当然我知道大家都认为本届选战将会不择手段,幸好,我们都同意不可殃及家人。但是对于狗,显然就是公平竞争了。双方阵营都拿这事玩得很开心。某天我看到这段外围组织制作的视频,说实话,我觉得过分了。我知道罗姆尼自称跟他的“超级PAC”绝无串通,我们来看一下这段宣传广告吧。(播放视频)

  That’s pretty rough,but I can take it,because my stepfather always told me, it's a boy-eat-dog world out there.
