【雙語閱讀】美總統(tǒng)辯論第二場,火藥味十足相互咆哮.

　　Barack Obama secured the comeback he desperately needed in the second presidential debate against Mitt Romney, finishing the night on top after a series of fierce clashes in which the two made no attempt to hide the extent of their personal hostility.

　　At one point in the 90-minute debate, watched by tens of millions of Americans, the two squared off, only a few feet apart, talking over one another, jabbing fingers at one another and accusing each other of lying.

　　Obama needed a big performance after his dismal failure in the first presidential debate in Denver. That 3 October debate was dominated by Romney and started the president&aposs poll slide, leaving the two in a dead heat less than three weeks from election day.

　　Obama will have lifted Democratic morale and may have done enough to slow – or even arrest – the crisis.

　　It will be several days bore the first reliable polls appear but a snap poll by CNN awarded the debate 46% to Obama and 39% to Romney, while CBS put it as 37% Obama to 30% Romney.

　　Obama, listless in Denver, was transformed in the second debate: focused, animated and combative. The president grew in confidence in the later stages of the night, while Romney, confident at the start, began to fade.

　　The former White House spokesman, Robert Gibbs, reinstated to the Obama team as an adviser, said: "The president knew he did not do well two weeks ago. He knew he had to step up his game tonight and Mitt Romney was lt looking uncomfortable".

　　Republicans countered that nothing the president said will have changed the dynamic of the race.

　　The two men clashed in the second debate – at Hofstra University, Long Island – over tax, energy, women&aposs rights, immigration and Libya.

　　Romney and Obama now have a presidential debate victory apiece going into the final one, usually the most watched of the three, in Boca Raton, Florida, on Monday.

　　【中文對照翻譯】

　　奧巴馬迫切需要在與羅姆尼的第二場總統(tǒng)候選人辯論中確保萬無一失，經(jīng)過一系列激烈的沖突他占上風(fēng)地結(jié)束了那一晚，辯論中這兩人并沒有試圖隱藏他們對彼此的敵意。

　　90分鐘辯論的一分一秒，都被數(shù)以百萬計的美國人見證著，封閉的兩平米、只有幾英尺遠(yuǎn)，他們彼此爭鋒相對，用手指戳向彼此，指責(zé)對方說謊。

　　他在丹佛的第一次總統(tǒng)候選人辯論中令人沮喪的失敗后，奧巴馬需要一場大表現(xiàn)。 10月3日的辯論被羅姆尼主導(dǎo)，并以總統(tǒng)的投票幻燈片開始，在離大選日不到三個星期時留給兩人一場死氣沉沉的爭奪。

　　奧巴馬已經(jīng)重振了民主黨的士氣，也許已經(jīng)做了足夠多去緩解甚至解除危機(jī)。

　　第一個可靠的民意調(diào)查出來還有幾天，但一個由CNN的快速調(diào)查給予奧巴馬46%的支持率，羅姆尼39%的支持率，而CBS得出的是奧巴馬37%，羅姆尼30%。

　　奧巴馬在丹佛的無精打采在第二場辯論已經(jīng)轉(zhuǎn)為精力集中、活力十足以及充滿斗志?？偨y(tǒng)已經(jīng)在晚上后半段信心倍增，而羅姆尼一開始的自信逐漸消退。

　　前白宮發(fā)言人羅伯特?吉布斯作為顧問重回奧巴馬團(tuán)隊，他說：“總統(tǒng)知道兩個星期前他沒表現(xiàn)好，他知道他必須在今晚的辯論中加緊發(fā)力，而米特?羅姆尼被辯得看起來不舒服?！?/p>

　　共和黨人反駁說總統(tǒng)不論說什么也不會改變選舉的動態(tài)。

　　兩個人在長島的霍夫斯特拉大學(xué)的第二場辯論中激烈爭辯，涉及稅收、能源、婦女權(quán)利、移民和利比亞問題。

　　羅姆尼和奧巴馬現(xiàn)在還有總統(tǒng)辯論的最后一場勝利戰(zhàn)，通常是三場辯論中最受矚目的，周一在佛羅里達(dá)州博卡拉頓。
