情景对话:

A: Did you watch the televised debate yesterday?

B: Yes, I did.

A: Which candidate do you think has done a better job?

B: Well, as far as the debate is concerned, I think the Democratic candidate has done better.

A: Do you think he will probably win the election?

B: It's hard to say.

A: Debate and speech play an important role in electoral activities, huh?

B: Yeah, you need to be very eloquent before you can win the candidacy, I guess.

A: Ha-ha, I think so.

B: By the way, election campaign does not only involve speeches and debates. The two political parties need to do a lot of work before one of them can win.

A: Oh, I know. Fundraising, for example?

B: Yep. It's high on their agendas.

A: What if it's not a bipartisan system? What if there're more than two parties?

B: Well, they can also nominate an eligible person to run for presidency, I think.

参考译文:

B:看了。

A:你觉得哪位候选人表现更好?

B:嗯，就那场辩论而言。我觉得是民主党候选人表现得更好。

A:你觉得他可能赢得本次选举吗?

B:这还难说.

A:辩论、演讲在选举活动中起着重要作用吧?

B:没错。我想能获得候选人资格，也是需要有很好的口才的。

A:哈哈.我想也是。

B:不过，竞选活动也不仅需要发表演讲和进行辩论。直到终一方胜出之前两党还要做很多竟选活动。

A:嗯，我知道的，比方还要进行筹款活动吧?

B:是的，这是双方日程规划中的重要环节。

A:如果不是两党制会怎么样?如果有多个党派呢?

B:那我想各党派也还是可以提名合格的候选人去竞选总统的。
