Four months before election day, five men gathered in a small conference room at the Reagan-Bush headquarters and reviewed an oversized calendar that mark the remaining days of the 1984 presidential campaign. It was the last Saturday in June and at ten o’clock in the morning the rest of the office was practically 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. Their aim was to devise a strategy that would guarantee Ronald Reagan’s resounding reelection to a second term in the White House.
It should have been easy. These were battle-tested veterans with long ties to Reagan and even longer ones to the Republican party, men who understood presidential politics as well as any in the country. The backdrop of the campaign was hospitable, with lots of good news to work with. America was at peace, and the nation’s economy, a key factor in any election, was rebounding vigorously after recession. Furthermore, the campaign itself was lavishly financed, with plenty of money for a top-flight staff, travel, and television commercials. And, most important, their candidate was Ronald Reagan, a president of tremendous personal popularity and dazzling communication skills. Reagan has succeeded more than any president since John F. Kennedy in projecting a broad vision of America — a nation of renewed military strength, individual initiative, and smaller federal government.
选项
答案
(里根再次当选)这本应该是件轻而易举的事。这些人都是久经沙场的老兵,追随里根历时甚久,而与共和党的渊源则更为久远。他们深谙总统竞选政治,不比国内任何人逊色。竞选的形势对他们也很有利,有大量好消息可以加以利用,诸如国内一片和平景象,而在任何选举中都举足轻重的国民经济度过了衰退期正强劲回升。而且,其竞选活动本身也得到了充裕的资助,有足够的钱来供养一流的竞选班子,以及为巡回游说和做电视宣传提供资金。最为重要的是,他们的候选人是罗纳德.里根——一位有着巨大个人魅力和非凡交际才能的总统。自约翰.肯尼迪之后,里根在各届总统中最为成功地规划出美国的宏伟蓝图,那就是,美国将成为一个拥有更强大的军事力量、个人首创精神以及更为精简的联邦政府的国家。
解析
①It should have been easy.指里根再次入主白宫一事。注意此句使用了虚拟语气。
②presidential politics有关总统竞选事宜的政治或策略。
③a key factor in any election是the nation’s economy的同位语,用于补充说明。
④top-flight一流的
⑤television commercials这里指有关总统竞选的电视宣传片。
⑥renewed更新的,加固的
