比尔·克林顿为希拉里的助选演讲(16)
The real one, if you saw her friend Betsy Ebeling vote for Illinois today has friends from childhood through Arkansas, where she has not lived in more than 20 years, who have gone all across America at their own expense to fight for the person they know.
真诚的那一个，如果你们看见了她的朋友贝蒂·艾贝琳今天在伊利诺伊州投票——尽管她已经有20多年不在阿肯色州生活了。但那里她许多孩提时代的好友自费在美国四处奔走，为他们熟知的好友争取选票。
The real one has earned the loyalty, the respect and the fervent support of people who have worked with her in every stage of her life, including leaders around the world who know her to be able, straightforward and completely trustworthy. The real one calls you when you’re sick, when your kid’s in trouble or when there’s a death in the family. The real one repeatedly drew praise from prominent Republicans when she was a senator and secretary of state.
真诚的那一个赢得了人生每一个阶段共事的人们的忠诚、尊重和支持。世界各国的领导人也都认可她的能力、坦率和诚信。真诚的那一个会在你需要帮助时及时出现，无论是你生病、子女遇到了麻烦，还是家里出现了变故。真诚的那一个在她担任国务卿期间不断受到杰出共和党人的赞美。
So what’s up with it? Well, if you win elections on the theory that government is always bad and will mess up a two-car parade a real change-maker represents a real threat.
所以，情况是怎样的呢？好吧，如果对手一直鼓吹“政府永远是很糟糕的，他们连两辆车的游行都会搞砸”这种言论，那么一个真正的变革者对于他们而言是胜选的有力威胁。
So your only option is to create a cartoon, a cartoon alternative, then run against the cartoon. Cartoons are two- dimensional, they’re easy to absorb. Life in the real world is complicated and real change is hard.
而对手唯一的选择就是构建一个卡通人物，一个卡通对手然后与这个卡通对手进行竞选。卡通人物是二维的，他们很容易被打败。但真实世界的生活要复杂得多。真正的变革需要付出极大的艰辛。
And a lot of people even think it’s boring. Good for you, because earlier today you nominated the real one. Listen we’ve got to get back on schedule. You guys calm down.
甚至有许多人认为变革乏味无聊。所幸的是，就在刚刚，你们将真诚的那个人提名为总统候选人。下面，我又要旧事重提了。请大家安静下来。
