Mitt Romney raised Republican hopes of an election comeback with a spirited and aggressive performance that forced Barack Obama repeatedly on to the defensive in the first presidential debate. 通过一个振奋人心且锋芒毕露的表现，罗姆尼燃起了共和党选举翻盘的希望，迫使美国总统奥巴马在第一轮总统候选人辩论中不断地防守。 Although Romney is still trailing badly in the polls, especially in the crucial swing states, his strong showing lifted conservative morale with more than four weeks left to turn the campaign around. 尽管罗姆尼在民意调查中仍严重落后，特别是在关键的摇摆州中。但他的强势表现鼓舞了保守派的士气，用还剩的四个多星期去扭转竞选形势。 Romney and Obama sparred mainly over the economy, in particular tax, jobs and healthcare, during a statistic- and policy-laden 90-minute debate that was expected to draw an audience of more than 50 million. 罗姆尼和奥巴马辩论的焦点主要是经济政策，特别是税收、就业和医疗保健，在这个数据和政策引用的90分钟的辩论期间预计吸引了超过50万的观众。 Romney was forceful from the start, accusing Obama of repeatedly portraying the Republican's policies as inaccurate, and he maintained that momentum throughout. Obama, looking tired and at times irritated, remained largely calm. 罗姆尼从一开始就攻势凌厉，指责奥巴马不准确的反复描绘共和党政策，而且他一直保持这一势头。奥巴马看起来很累，有时很恼火，但大体上保持平静。 |
