5. 總統(tǒng)大選辯論
presidential debate

請(qǐng)看例句：

The first of three presidential debates between the Democratic and Republican nominees, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, was held Monday at Hofstra University in New York.
美國(guó)民主黨總統(tǒng)提名人希拉里·克林頓和共和黨總統(tǒng)提名人唐納德·特朗普之間的三場(chǎng)總統(tǒng)大選辯論的首場(chǎng)26日在紐約霍夫斯特拉大學(xué)舉行。

這是兩位總統(tǒng)候選人的首次一對(duì)一辯論(the first-ever one-on-one debate between the two candidates)，持續(xù)90分鐘，期間沒(méi)有商業(yè)廣告(the debate last 90 minutes without commercial breaks)。辯論分為美國(guó)方向(America's direction)、實(shí)現(xiàn)繁榮(achieving prosperity)、保障美國(guó)安全(securing America)三個(gè)主題，美國(guó)全國(guó)廣播公司《夜間新聞》主播萊斯特·霍爾特(Lester Holt)擔(dān)任提問(wèn)主持人(moderator)。

唇槍舌戰(zhàn)中，希拉里抨擊特朗普不僅逃稅，還是性別歧視主義者和種族主義者(Clinton blast Trump for dodging taxes and being sexist and racist)，而特朗普則說(shuō)希拉里沒(méi)有總統(tǒng)相(lack a presidential look)。希拉里嘲笑特朗普把氣候變化稱為中國(guó)人發(fā)明的騙局(call climate change a hoax invented by the Chinese)，特朗普則攻擊希拉里在使用私人電郵服務(wù)器一事上缺乏判斷力(lack judgment regarding her use of a private email server)。

辯論結(jié)束后，美國(guó)有線電視新聞網(wǎng)的民調(diào)顯示，希拉里在兩人的首次正面交鋒中占據(jù)上風(fēng)(Hillary Clinton was the winner of their first face-off)。她不僅準(zhǔn)備充分(well-prepared)，作為一名辯論老手也更有場(chǎng)上經(jīng)驗(yàn)(as a veteran debater, Clinton has more stage experience)，但特朗普也在整場(chǎng)辯論中控制住了容易激動(dòng)的性格，在壓力下保持了冷靜(keep calm and cool under pressure)。

美國(guó)的總統(tǒng)大選辯論不僅僅是兩位候選人的施政方針孰優(yōu)孰劣的交鋒(a contest of which candidate has better policies)，還要看誰(shuí)展現(xiàn)出的個(gè)性和氣質(zhì)(character and temperament)更符合觀眾對(duì)于總統(tǒng)的期待。1960年，共和黨人尼克松對(duì)陣民主黨人肯尼迪的總統(tǒng)大選辯論首次面向美國(guó)全國(guó)電視直播。據(jù)說(shuō)，通過(guò)廣播收聽那場(chǎng)辯論的人認(rèn)為兩人不相上下(radio listeners thought the debate had been a tie)，然而電視觀眾卻普遍認(rèn)為尼克松輸了(Nixon was widely deemed loser of the debate)，因?yàn)樗奈餮b松松垮垮，又時(shí)不時(shí)大汗淋漓(a baggy suit and constant sweating)，相較之下，肯尼迪則著裝得體，表現(xiàn)沉穩(wěn)自如(well-dressed and poised)。
