Trump's Numbers Falling After Video Fallout
视频泄露之后,特朗普选票下滑
Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump says that he is probably better off without the support of some members of his party. Many leading Republican officials recently withdrew their support for Trump, including the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Paul Ryan.
共和党总统候选人唐纳德.特朗普表示:除去了该党派的一些支持者,他的处境很好。许多共和党官员撤回了他们对于特朗普的支持,包括白宫众议院发言人保罗.瑞安。
The Republicans’ withdrawal followed the release of a video from 2005. In it, Trump said that he kisses and touches women sexually without their permission.
共和党人的撤离,紧随2005年视频泄露之后。在该视频里,特朗普说未经允许,他亲吻和抚摸女性。
“…when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything,” Trump said. That includes, he continued, grabbing women in their private areas.
“当你是一个明星,他们就让你这样做。你可以做任何事情”特朗普说。他继续道:这也包括了在女性的私人区域肆意的攫取。
The Washington Post newspaper first published the video. In it, Trump was speaking off-camera to journalist Billy Bush. At the time, Bush hosted the entertainment news program Access Hollywood. The two men were on a bus going to a television studio. They were speaking informally but wearing microphones that recorded their conversation.
《华盛顿邮报》第一时间发行了该视频。在该视频中,特朗普对比利.布什大聊私生活。与此同时,布什邀请了娱乐新闻节目访问好莱坞。两位男性乘坐公共汽车去往电视演播室。他们不拘束的谈话,但是随身携带的麦克风记录了他们的谈话。
Trump later apologized for the comments he made on the video. He called the conversation “locker room talk.” In other words, the conversation included rude, sexual language between men that was not meant to be heard in public.
随后,特朗普对他在视频中所做的言行表示歉意。他将该谈话称作“更衣室里的谈话”。换句话说,该谈话包括了两个男人之间很多粗俗的语言,是不希望被公众听到的。
Trump added Tuesday in a Fox News interview that many women have told him they have heard much worse.
本周二,特朗普在福克斯新闻采访中增加道:许多女性已经告诉他,他们听过更糟糕的。
"If that's what it is going to take to lose an election, that will be pretty sad," Trump said in the interview.
“如果这将让他失去选票,这太让人悲伤了”特朗普在采访中表示。
Since the video was released last week, Trump has fallen sharply in national polls. He now trails Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton by 14 points. A week ago, the polls showed Clinton leading by only seven points.
自从上周该视频被流出之后,特朗普全国民意调查中的形象迅速下滑。他现在落后于民主党总统候选人希拉里.克林顿14票。一周前,他的选票显示,克林顿仅仅领先7票。
Politicians answer Trump
政客们对于特朗普的回应
Republicans who have withdrawn their support for Trump include former Republican presidential nominee John McCain.
共和党撤回对特朗普支持,其中包括前共和党总统候选人约翰.麦凯恩。
McCain said in a statement that Trump’s behavior and comments “make it impossible to continue to offer even conditional support for his candidacy.”
麦凯恩说在这种情况下,特朗普的行为和言行已经不可能让他继续提供条件去支持他的候选资格。
But Trump does not appear to be concerned about losing support from other party leaders. He wrote on Twitter Tuesday that “it is so nice that the shackles have been taken off me and I can now fight for America the way I want to.”
但是特朗普没有表演出对于丢失其他党派领导人选票的关心。他在推特上写道:“从我身上拿掉手铐的感觉很棒,并且现在我可以以我喜欢的方式去为美国而战了!”
In his interview Tuesday on Fox News, Trump said that Ryan and other powerful Republicans would support him in office if he wins the election.
本周二的福克斯新闻采访中,特朗普说瑞恩和其他的权势共和党人将在他赢得选举后支持他的工作。

巴拉克.奥巴马总统说:奥巴马发现特朗普对于触摸女性的言行令人恶心和反胃。他认为这是性侵犯。
