英语专业八级训练讲解 实例 Four months before election day, five men gathered in a small conference room at the Reagan-Bush headquarters and reviewed an oversize calendar that marked the remaining days of the 1984 presidential campaign. It was the last Saturday in June and at ten oclock in the morning the rest of the office was particularly deserted. Even so, the men kept the door shut and the drapes carefully drawn. The three principals and their two deputies had come from around the country for a critical meeting.

Kennedy in projecting a broad vision of America—a nation of renewed military strength, individual initiative and smaller federal government. 学生译文一 事情本来很简单，这些人都是身经百战的老手，并且和里根有着很深的交情甚至比共和党的交情还深。它们不仅懂得总统的政策，而且通晓国內的每一件事。总统选举是在友好的气氛下进行的，传出了很多震愤人心的传闻．例如美国正处在和平之中，还有影响选举的一个重要因素一一美国的国民经济正从大萧条申复苏，而另一方面，选举本身就是一项奢侈的金融行为，因为太多的钱都用在了买头等飞机票、旅行和电视广告上，而更重要的是他们的候选人是罗纳德一里根，一位有着很强的交流技巧和很高名望的总统，自从约翰．F．肯尼迪构思了一个大型美丽蓝图一一即一个崇尚个人至上，有着小型联邦政府并且军事力量强劲的美国之后，里根从他那里受益匪浅，胜过任何一个总统。 学生译文二 里根在这次大选中获胜应该是件很容易的事。这些经受过战争考验的老手们都长期追随着里根，并一直支持着共和党，他们理解国家的任意一个决策也理解总统的决策。伴随着许多良好的境况，这次竞选活动的背景也是很适宜的：美国正处在和平年代，民族经济在经历了一段时期的不景气后，开始复苏，现在也很繁荣，这是竞选成败的关键因素。此外，他们为这次竞选筹
