昨晚是美国总统辩论第二场。在华盛顿大学，美国共和党和民主党候选人进行了第二次正面辩论较量。

The moderators first planned questions centered on a controversy that surfaced Friday. It involved a tape from 2005 when a microphone that was turned on recorded part of a conversation in which Donald Trump talked about how he behaved inappropriately toward women on multiple occasions.

主持人计划的具有争议性的问题在周五就浮出了水面。问题是2005年的一盘磁带，该磁带记录了在特朗普谈论自己在多种场合对女性行为不当。

On Saturday, the candidate apologized, admitting he`s, quote, "said some foolish things". Trump then accused Hillary Clinton of inappropriate actions.

周六，特朗普道歉，并承认自己说了一些蠢话。之后，特朗普指责希拉里行为不当。

DONALD TRUMP (R), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: This was locker room talk. I`m not proud of it. I apologize to my family. I apologize to the American people. Certainly, I`m not proud of it.

特朗普：那只是更衣室玩笑。我并引以为豪。我向我的家人道歉，也向美国人民道歉。因为，我并比以当时的言论为豪。

ANDERSON COOPER, DEBATE MODERATOR: So, Mr. Trump –

支持人：所以，特朗普……

TRUMP: And we should get on to much more important things and much bigger things.

特朗普：我们应该关注的是更重要的事情。

HILLARY CLINTON (D), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: He has said that the video doesn`t represent who he is. But I think it`s clear to anyone who heard it that it represents exactly who he is.

希拉里：刚才特朗普表示，视频并不能代表自己。但是我认为，所有听到视频内容的人都清楚，视频的言论就代表了特朗普的观点。

AZUZ: But, of course, that wasn`t the only subject discussed at the debate. As you just saw, it was in a town hall format. And while the moderators were scheduled to ask half the questions, the other half were intended for members of the audience who were described as uncommitted voters.

阿祖兹：但是，在这场辩论中，两者辩论的话题不止于此。采用类似市政厅会议的形式，两位候选人在一个相对狭小的空间当中，除了接受主持人的提问，还要回答现场观众的问题，而这些观众代表了未投票的选民。
