US Voters Head to Polls in
As the race went down to the wire in Wisconsin, Hillary Clinton's campaign was accusing Barack Obama of plagiarism for his use of phrases similar to those used previously in a speech by Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick.
Obama responded by saying that he and Patrick are friends and that they often share ideas and rhetorical flourishes. Although most independent pundits viewed the charge of plagiarism as exaggerated, they did see possible damage to Obama's image in the eyes of the voters, because his soaring oratory has been his strongest asset.
In her campaign speeches, Hillary Clinton has been stressing the word "solutions." Clinton has said, in effect, that Obama speaks well, but that she offers real solutions to the problems that afflict the nation.
In her campaign appearances across the state, Clinton has focused on the economy and her plans to promote job growth.
"What we really need here in Wisconsin and across America is an economy that is producing good jobs with rising wages for everybody willing to work hard and I have been focused on the economy throughout this campaign."
参考译文:
随着在威斯康辛州的竞选进入胶着状态,希拉里•克林顿一方指责巴拉克•奥巴马的剽窃行为,认为他的一些措辞与马萨诸塞州州长迪沃•帕特里克在之前的一次讲话中的措辞相似。
奥巴马回应道,他与帕特里克是朋友,因此他们经常分享自己的看法和华丽的辞藻。尽管大多数的无党派的学者认为这种抄袭的指控有所夸大,他们仍认为这可能有损在投票者眼中奥巴马的形象,因为他高超的演讲术已成为他最有利的财富。
希拉里•克林顿在她的竞选发言中强调了“解决办法”这个词。她认为在效果上,奥巴马虽然说得很好听,但是她提供了真正解决困扰着全国的那些问题的方案。
克林顿在她遍布全国的竞选活动中关注经济问题,以及她自己有关促进工作岗位增加的计划。
“在威斯康星州,甚至在全美国,我们所真正需要的是一种能够给每个想要工作的人提供有加薪机会的好工作的经济秩序,而我在整个竞选过程中始终强调这一点。”
