First up, we are looking at President Obama’s first news conference since he was reelected to a second term.
The president took questions from the media for about an hour at the White House yesterday afternoon.
One topic that came up, the so-called “fiscal cliff.”
It’s a set of spending cuts and tax increases that could go into effect soon.
The president and congressional leaders are considering ways to avoid that cliff.
(1) President Obama was set to meet with business leaders after yesterday’s news conference to talk about the issue.
He said he wants input from everyone.
“(2) I’m open to new ideas, if Republican counterparts or some Democrats have a great idea for us to raise revenue, maintain progress already, make sure the middle class isn’t getting hit, reduces our deficit, encourages growth, I’m not going to just slam the door in their face. I want to hear idea—I want to hear ideas from everybody.”新 闻最译文奥巴马总统连任后首次演讲称愿妥协解决财政问题
首先,我们来关注下奥巴马总统连任后的第一次新闻发布会。
总统昨天下午在白宫用了约一小时回答媒体的问题。
其中一个话题是所谓的“财政悬崖”。
这是将很快生效的一套削减开支并增加税收的法案。
总统和国会领导正在考虑如何避免财政悬崖。
在昨天的新闻发布会之后，奥巴马总统会见了商界领袖们来讨论这个问题。
总统表示他希望每个人都参与进来。“对于新的想法我非常欢迎，如果共和党人或一些民主党人有好的想法,能够让我们提高收入，保持现在的进展速度,确保中产阶级不受重创，减少赤字,鼓励增长，我不会拒绝他们。我想听听他们的想法——我想听听大家的想法。”听 力最破解

美国共和党（Republican Party），又常被简称为GOP (Grand Old Party,大老党)是美国的两大主要政党之一。自创党以来，共和党在38届总统选举中赢得了23届。共和党创立于1854年7月6日，迎合了当时反对奴隶制度扩张的政治势力。在现代美国政党中，共和党则被视为是社会保守主义和经济古典自由主义的政党。2001年出任美国总统的乔治·沃克·布什就是共和党人。听 力最练习

When the Democrats do it, there is debate, horse trading, a real raucous caucus. But the Republican caucuses all around the state are much more low-key.
Step one, show up. Any voter can take part as long as he or she is already a registered Republican or willing to become one at the door.
Step two, listen up. After the Pledge of Allegiance, caucus goers hear speeches from people representing the candidates. They can be from in-state or out, big names or small town folks. (1) They make a quick pitch for their pick.
Step three, mark it up. Pieces of paper are passed out, attendees write down a candidate’s name and the ballots are collected. It is more or less a secret vote, depending on the formality of that caucus site.
And step four, count them up. The votes are added and a winner is declared.
(2) That’s about it. Delegates to the national conventional will be chosen later, and they’re not bound to the results of the caucus. So it’s really more like a high-powered poll. And yet many political analysts say it really does matter.新 闻最译文选民四部曲
当民主党进行选举的时候，会发生争论，进行激烈的讨价还价，这确实是一次吵吵嚷嚷的党内核心成员会议。但共和党党内核心成员的选举则更为低调。
第一步，登台。任何选民都能参加,只要他或她已经注册成为共和党党员或者愿意现场加入共和党。
第二步，聆听。在听完效忠誓词后,党内核心成员聆听代表候选人的演讲。他们要么是来自本州或其他州,要么是如雷贯耳的大名人,亦或是名不见经传的小人物。他们会为自己的选择发表一段简短的讲话。
第三步,做标记。选票发下后,与会者写下一个候选人的名字,选票被收集起来。这或多或少是一个秘密投票,这取决于当时核心成员会议的形式。
第四步,把票数加起来。唱票并宣布胜利者。
情况就是这样。稍后全国大会的代表将会被选出。他们也许并不一定要按党内核心成员会议的结果，所以更像是有很多种可能的投票，虽然许多政治分析家说这真的很重要。听 力最破解
1 They make a quick pitch for their pick.
解析
他们会为自己的选择发表一段简短的讲话。make a pitch for意思是“为……说好话”。pick在这里是名词，指代“the chosen candidate”。
2 That’s about it.
解析
情况就是这样。相当于“That’s all”，意思是“我要说的就是这些”。 情况就是这样。相当于“That’s all”，意思是“我要说的就是这些”。 情况就是这样。相当于“That’s all”，意思是“我要说的就是这些”。CNN News 3米特·罗姆尼会赢得佛罗里达州初选新 闻最背景

2 C 由文章得知，“These were the top three candidates. Starting from the left, you have former governor Mitt Romney, and in the center, former senator Rick Santorum. Both of them got about 25 percent of the vote.” 这是前三名的候选人。从左边开始首先是前州长米特•罗姆尼，在中间的是前参议员瑞克•桑托姆。他们两个都拿到了大约25% 的选票。新 闻最正文Mitt Romney Expected to Win Florida Primaries
Eight votes—that was the difference between first and second place for the Republican presidential candidates on Tuesday. Officials think it could be the closest finish ever in an Iowa Republican presidential contest.
These were the top three candidates. (1) Starting from the left, you have former governor Mitt Romney, and in the center, former senator Rick Santorum. Both of them got about 25 percent of the vote. But Romney had those eight additional votes, so he is the winner. US Representative Ron Paul, on the right, came in third with 21 percent.
(2) The reactions to the Iowa results started coming in yesterday. Senator John McCain, who was the Republican Party’s presidential nominee four years ago endorsed Mitt Romney.

8票——这就是星期二共和党总统候选人第1名和第2名的差距。官员们认为这可能是爱荷华州共和党总统竞选中票数最接近的选举结果。
这是前三名的候选人。从左边开始首先是前州长米特•罗姆尼,在中间的是前参议员瑞克•桑托姆。他们两人都拿到了大约25%的选票。但罗姆尼有多出的那8张选票,所以他是赢家。美国众议员罗恩•保罗则在右边,以21%的选票获得了第三名。
昨天开始出现对爱荷华州的选举结果的反应。4年前的共和党总统候选人，参议员约翰•麦凯恩支持米特•罗姆尼。
在爱荷华州排在第6位的美国众议员米歇尔•巴曼宣布退出竞选。早期选票少的候选人退出入主白宫的竞选并不稀奇。听 力最破解
1 Starting from the left, you have former governor Mitt Romney, and in the center, former senator Rick Santorum.
解析
从左开始首先是前州长米特•罗姆尼，在中间的是前参议员瑞克•桑托姆。这句话我们可以叫它“有”字句，它可以成为“是”字句的孪生姐妹句。在很多情况下可以相互转化。如We had a serious drought this spring.→There was a serious drought this spring.都译成“今年春天干旱严重”。那么听力原文中的这句话就可以转变成：Starting from the left is former governor Mitt Romney, and in the center, former senator Rick Santorum. 从左开始首先是前州长米特•罗姆尼，在中间的是前参议员瑞克•桑托姆。这句话我们可以叫它“有”字句，它可以成为“是”字句的孪生姐妹句。在很多情况下可以相互转化。如We had a serious drought this spring.→There was a serious drought this spring.都译成“今年春天干旱严重”。那么听力原文中的这句话就可以转变成：Starting from the left is former governor Mitt Romney, and in the center, former senator Rick Santorum. 从左开始首先是前州长米特•罗姆尼，在中间的是前参议员瑞克•桑托姆。这句话我们可以叫它“有”字句，它可以成为“是”字句的孪生姐妹句。在很多情况下可以相互转化。如We had a serious drought this spring.→There was a serious drought this spring.都译成“今年春天干旱严重”。那么听力原文中的这句话就可以转变成：Starting from the left is former governor Mitt Romney, and in the center, former senator Rick Santorum.
2 The reactions to the Iowa results started coming in yesterday.
解析
昨天开始出现对爱荷华州的选举结果的反应。reactions原本为无生命的词，却发出了coming in的动作，很明显用到了拟人的手法。类似的句子还有My watch says twelve. 按照我的手表，现在是12点。His failure suggests his carelessness. 他的失败说明他太大意了。拟人的句子使整句话更生动，也使文章更富有变化。 昨天开始出现对爱荷华州的选举结果的反应。reactions原本为无生命的词，却发出了coming in的动作，很明显用到了拟人的手法。类似的句子还有My watch says twelve. 按照我的手表，现在是12点。His failure suggests his carelessness. 他的失败说明他太大意了。拟人的句子使整句话更生动，也使文章更富有变化。CNN News 4奥巴马拟在总统选举中重演历史新 闻最背景

Tens of thousands of Washingtonians had been expected to take part in the caucus meetings this weekend. We’ve talked about candidates winning delegates in primaries and caucuses. Washington’s caucuses award those delegates proportionately. So since Governor Romney got the most votes, he also won the most delegates, but he didn’t win all of them.
The Republican candidate who wins his party’s nomination will face off in the general election against President Obama, the likely Democratic nominee. When he was elected in 2008, Obama had overwhelming support from one group of Americans.

原来预计有成千上万的华盛顿人参加这个周末的核心成员会议。我们谈论了在初选和党内核心成员会议中获胜的候选人。华盛顿的核心成员会议按比例确定代表。既然罗姆尼州长得到的选票最多,他也就赢得了大多数代表,但他没能赢得所有的代表。
赢得了党内提名的共和党候选人在总统大选中将与可能成为民主党提名人的奥巴马成为对手。当他在2008年当选总统时，奥巴马获得了一群美国人压倒性的支持。历史是否可能在今年的选举中重演，其中的原因是什么，苏珊•马沃斯拭目以待。听 力最破解

本句的意思是“历史是否可能在今年的选举中重演，其中的原因是什么，苏珊•马沃斯拭目以待”。look at后面接whether引导的宾语从句。在这句话里repeat意为“重新上演”，把history拟人化，所以说history might repeat itself。possible reason后面的定语从句应为“why or why not history repeat itself in this year’s election”。由于前面提到这句话，所以后面省略，直接加引导词why or why not。 本句的意思是“历史是否可能在今年的选举中重演，其中的原因是什么，苏珊•马沃斯拭目以待”。look at后面接whether引导的宾语从句。在这句话里repeat意为“重新上演”，把history拟人化，所以说history might repeat itself。possible reason后面的定语从句应为“why or why not history repeat itself in this year’s election”。由于前面提到这句话，所以后面省略，直接加引导词why or why not。 本句的意思是“历史是否可能在今年的选举中重演，其中的原因是什么，苏珊•马沃斯拭目以待”。look at后面接whether引导的宾语从句。在这句话里repeat意为“重新上演”，把history拟人化，所以说history might repeat itself。possible reason后面的定语从句应为“why or why not history repeat itself in this year’s election”。由于前面提到这句话，所以后面省略，直接加引导词why or why not。 本句的意思是“历史是否可能在今年的选举中重演，其中的原因是什么，苏珊•马沃斯拭目以待”。look at后面接whether引导的宾语从句。在这句话里repeat意为“重新上演”，把history拟人化，所以说history might repeat itself。possible reason后面的定语从句应为“why or why not history repeat itself in this year’s election”。由于前面提到这句话，所以后面省略，直接加引导词why or why not。CNN News 5超级星期二新 闻最背景
