At its most basic, this election is about preserving our democracy. 佛蒙特州参议员伯尼·桑德斯:我们的竞选运动还在继续,而且势头一天比一天强劲。我们先说清楚一点。如果唐纳德·特朗普再次当选总统,我们取得的所有进展都将面临失败。最根本的是,这次选举事关维护我们的民主。 AMNA NAWAZ: And it was former first lady Michelle Obama who capped off the night with a passionate plea to the American people. 阿曼娜·纳瓦泽:前第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马在当晚向美国人民发出了热烈的恳求。 MICHELLE OBAMA, Former First Lady: Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country. He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head. He cannot meet this moment. He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us. It is what it is. 前美国第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马:唐纳德·特朗普不是我们国家所需要的那个总统。他已有足够的时间去证明他能胜任这项工作,但他显然是不知所措。在这种时刻他不具备当总统的资格。他根本不能成为我们所需要的人。但没办法,情况就是这样。 AMNA NAWAZ: Today, at a White House event celebrating women's rights, President Trump responded to Mrs. Obama. 阿曼娜·纳瓦泽:今天,在白宫纪念女性获得选举权100周年的活动上,特朗普总统回应了奥巴马夫人。 DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States: She was over her head, and, frankly, she should have made the speech live. She gets these fawning reviews. If you gave a real review, it wouldn't be so fawning. I thought it was a very divisive speech, extremely divisive. 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普:她太激动了,坦率地说,她应该现场直播的。她收获了很多奉承的评论。如果你们给她看一个真实的评论,就不会是如此奉承的话了。我认为这是一个非常分裂的演讲,非常分裂。 AMNA NAWAZ: Democrats will continue to make their case against the president and for the Joe Biden/Kamala Harris ticket direct to the American people tonight.
