好像和下面的话有些联系,请马达帮忙 $ V: o4 l" U2 k' eI feel that ridiculing the “white voter turnout” is a very bad choice by Mr. Zhou; this letter has already been widely circulated amongst our membership and has created much animosity amongst those who have read it. It seems that Mr. Zhou has already adopted his new boss’s strategy of pitting member against member, in order to deflect attention away from their own weaknesses. This should not go unchallenged, as it should be our leadership’s top priority to bring our membership together, not try to divide them.8 a: B0 @/ L& X E: ~' x
我觉得周先生的那个荒唐的“white voter turnout”是个十分坏的选择。这封信已经在我们的工会会员当中广为流传并已在读者中产生出很大憎恶情绪。周先生似乎已经接受了他的新老板的策略,挑动会员斗会员,目的是为了转移人们对他们的弱点的注意力。这个作法不应该不受挑战,我们的领导的首要任务应该是促成全体会员的团结,而不是分裂他们。 ( {2 ~+ r5 y. \2 ?, \2 |: @$ Q. H

white voter turnout 来自于Obama "Black voter turnout", 讲的是由于他的肤色而引起的美国黑人空前高涨的投票率,使Obama其上台的现象。 7 ^2 S) I6 a+ d5 s% T$ H # R& }; M1 H: m: K$ w% VObama Talks Black Voter Turnout $ u4 \$ C+ `* p$ s/ H: t/ }2 a % y: \* p# Z1 A9 \* d“During the presidential primary, Sen.

"We can really make a big difference if everybody turns out," Obama said. "It's not just African Americans, though; we want a high Latino vote. We want a historic turnout for young voters who are looking at their jobs prospects and their ability to finance college. They understand that we have to move in a new direction as well." ) ]2 C$ r# p: k! l* K6 E0 i4 [& U' {) S! @9 ]) g7 ~
这里讲的是由于某些目的集中选票而不管候选人其政治观点,这是白人对由于黑人空前高涨的投票率使Obama其上台的现象的观点。白人认为打族裔牌,不民主,不公平。
