特朗普未上任,美国就想选新总统?

2016-11-16 08:43:40  每日学英语
  这边新总统还没走马上任,美国公民们就已经开始盘算下一任总统人选了。而呼声最高的2020年总统,竟然是奥巴马的妻子,米歇尔·奥巴马。当然,米歇尔确实很优秀,她本身就是一名律师,曾就读于普林斯顿大学及哈佛大学法学院。在奥巴马竞选总统时,米歇尔给予很大帮助,功不可没。

  
 

  The Donald Trump win devastated many who wanted America to elect its first female president.

  唐纳德•特朗普当选总统,让许多渴望见证美国第一位女总统的人梦想破灭。

  However, some have already cast aside their previous female candidate, Hillary Clinton, and are now endorsing another potential first female president - Michelle Obama.

  然而,也有人已然“抛弃”前任女总统候选人希拉里•克林顿,转而拥护另一个未来可能成为美国第一位女总统的人——米歇尔•奥巴马。

  The First Lady to Barack Obama is very popular and many think she would be in with a chance of winning the election for the Democrats in 2020. The hashtag #Michelle2020 trended on Twitter as people voiced their hopes she would save the US from President Trump.

  贝拉克•奥巴马的妻子米歇尔作为美国第一夫人一直深得人心。许多人认为她有希望在2020年代表民主党赢得总统选举。人们纷纷表达希望米歇尔从特朗普手中“救出”美国的意愿,“米歇尔2020” 话题(#Michelle2020)也因此登上推特热搜榜。

  While some are tweeting in jest, others seem to actually want her to run to be president of the United States as a tonic to Donald Trump's impending term.

  当然有些人只是开玩笑地跟着发推文,但看起来也有人是发自内心地希望米歇尔在四年后参加总统竞选来取代特朗普。

  Could she be America's only hope?

  她会是美国唯一的希望吗?

  There was no good options. Clinton would just have been a lesser of 2 evils. Our only hope is Michelle Obama in 2020

  目前我们并没有合适的选择。希拉里和特朗普都是恶魔般的存在,前者只不过略微好一些。现在我们只能期盼米歇尔在2020年当选总统。

  And others think she could win even without campaigning

  Michelle Obama wouldn't even have to have a proper campaign in 2020. Walk on stage, say a couple words then bam she'd win

  到2020年时,米歇尔根本不需要开展竞选活动。她只要上台说几句话,然后就赢了!
