Politics has quite literally gone to the dogs in one Minnesota village, where a seven-year-old pup has been named mayor. 在美国民尼苏达州的一个小村庄里，狗狗也开始涉足政坛了。一只7岁的小狗被任命为了村子的村长。 Duke, a Great Pyrenees, won the mayoral election in Cormorant this weekend by a landslide, taking all but two or three votes. 这周末，大白熊犬杜克在鸬鹚村村长选举中以压倒性优势获胜，只有两三张选票没有投给他。 The dog, who is often seen eating hamburgers and chips in the village's pub, will be officially sworn in on Saturday. 这周六，它就会正式宣誓就职。人们经常能看到它在村里的酒吧吃汉堡薯条。 All 12 Cormorant villagers paid $1 to vote in the election, with at least nine voting for Duke. 鸬鹚村共有12位村民花了1美元投票，其中至少有九张选票是投给杜克的。 Duke won the ceremonial role after a tightly fought campaign against local store owner Richard Sherbrook. 在与当地小店店主理查德·谢布克进行了一轮紧张角逐后，杜克最终获得了胜利。 Mr Sherbrook, who voted for Duke himself, said: 'I'm going to back the dog 100 per cent. He's a sportsman and he likes to hunt. He'll really protect the town. 谢布克自己也投给了杜克，他表示：“我百分之百支持它。它喜欢运动，喜欢打猎。它肯定会保护村庄的。” |
