Trump's Numbers Falling After Video Fallout
視頻泄露之后,特朗普選票下滑
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.
共和黨總統(tǒng)候選人唐納德.特朗普表示:除去了該黨派的一些支持者,他的處境很好。許多共和黨官員撤回了他們對于特朗普的支持,包括白宮眾議院發(fā)言人保羅.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.
共和黨人的撤離,緊隨2005年視頻泄露之后。在該視頻里,特朗普說未經(jīng)允許,他親吻和撫摸女性。
“…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.
“當你是一個明星,他們就讓你這樣做。你可以做任何事情”特朗普說。他繼續(xù)道:這也包括了在女性的私人區(qū)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.
《華盛頓郵報》第一時間發(fā)行了該視頻。在該視頻中,特朗普對比利.布什大聊私生活。與此同時,布什邀請了娛樂新聞節(jié)目訪問好萊塢。兩位男性乘坐公共汽車去往電視演播室。他們不拘束的談話,但是隨身攜帶的麥克風記錄了他們的談話。
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.
隨后,特朗普對他在視頻中所做的言行表示歉意。他將該談話稱作“更衣室里的談話”。換句話說,該談話包括了兩個男人之間很多粗俗的語言,是不希望被公眾聽到的。
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??怂剐侣劜稍L中增加道:許多女性已經(jīng)告訴他,他們聽過更糟糕的。
"If that's what it is going to take to lose an election, that will be pretty sad," Trump said in the interview.
“如果這將讓他失去選票,這太讓人悲傷了”特朗普在采訪中表示。
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.
自從上周該視頻被流出之后,特朗普全國民意調(diào)查中的形象迅速下滑。他現(xiàn)在落后于民主黨總統(tǒng)候選人希拉里.克林頓14票。一周前,他的選票顯示,克林頓僅僅領(lǐng)先7票。
