<p>美国习惯用语-第79讲:<span word="sleaze">sleaze</span> </p><p><span word="gridlock">gridlock</span> </p><p>在竞选过程中，候选人进行互相攻击似乎是常事，只是在手法上有所不同而已。今天我们先要给大家介绍一个和候选人互相攻击有关的常用词汇：<span word="sleaze">sleaze</span>。<span word="Sleaze">Sleaze</span>这个字听起来就不太悦耳，它的意思也很不好。<span word="Sleaze">Sleaze</span>指的是“下流的人”，或是“低级的东西”。可是在1992年的美国总统竞选中，<span word="sleaze">sleaze</span>是指“攻击对方的私生活”。也就是，竞选一方散布有关竞选对手私生活中的丑闻，以此在选民中毁坏对方的名声，他们散布的丑闻有的可能是属实的，但是也有一些是完全捏造的。下面请听一个例句： </p><p>例句-1: "<span word="On">On</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="campaign">campaign</span> <span word="trail">trail</span> <span word="today">today</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Republicans">Republicans</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Democrats">Democrats</span> <span word="both">both</span> <span word="hurled">hurled</span> <span word="charges">charges</span> <span word="accusing">accusing</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="other">other</span> <span word="side">side</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="using">using</span> <span word="sleaze">sleaze</span> <span word="despite">despite</span> <span word="promises">promises</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="Bush">Bush</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="Clinton">Clinton</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="stop">stop</span> <span word="such">such</span> <span word="tactics">tactics</span>." </p><p>这是说：“今天在竞选活动中共和党和民主党互相攻击，指责对方使用人身攻击的手法，尽管布什和克林顿都做了保证不再这样做。” </p><p>下面请听一位候选人是怎么说的： </p><p>例句-2: "<span word="I">I</span> <span word="don">don</span>\'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="intend">intend</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="use">use</span> <span word="sleaze">sleaze</span> <span word="against">against</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="opponent">opponent</span> <span word="although">although</span> <span word="there">there</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="plenty">plenty</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="things">things</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="personal">personal</span> <span word="life">life</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="voters">voters</span> <span word="ought">ought</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="know">know</span> <span word="about">about</span>." </p><p>他说：“我并不想利用竞选对手的丑闻来攻击他，但是他的私生活中也确实有很多东西选民应该知道的。” </p>
