奧巴馬首批希拉里敗因：沒有深入基層 太輕敵

President Barack Obama delivered a veiled rebuke to Hillary Clinton today for spending the summer and much of the fall taking it easy as Donald Trump barnstormed the nation.
現任總統貝拉克•奧巴馬今日含蓄的指責希拉里，今年夏天和秋天的大部分時間，當唐納德·特朗普在全國四處遊說、深入選民之時，她卻在休息。

The two-time winner Electoral College winner said he was victorious in Iowa, a mostly white state, 'not because the demographics dictated' it, but because he spent 87 days going to 'every small town and fair and fish fry and VFW hall.'
這位接連拿下兩次總統大選的常勝將軍表示，他曾在艾奧瓦州獲勝，那裏絕大部分人都是白人，他能贏“不是因爲人口統計結構”所決定的，而是他花了整整87天時間，“親自走遍每一個鄉鎮，每一個市集，讓儘可能多的選民聽到他的聲音。”

Some counties he may have lost by fewer votes because he dropped in, the president said. Others he may have won unexpectedly because he spent so much time there.
奧巴馬說，他可能因爲微小的差距輸掉了某些縣市，因爲他只是順道拜訪那裏。而他在其它縣市出奇制勝，原因是他在那裏花費了大量時間。

'And the challenge for a national party is how do you dig in there and create those kinds of structures so that people have a sense of what it is that you stand for.'
‘如何耕耘基層，如何清晰地規劃出國家構架讓選民更加了解你們代表的利益，這是一個國家政黨面臨的挑戰。’

Conversations in the party about grassroots efforts and building a bottom up party will 'contribute to stronger outcomes in the future,' he assessed. 'And I'm optimistic that will happen.'
奧巴馬稱，在民主黨內部展開關於基層工作建設和構建自上而下的政黨對話“未來將會產生強有力的結果，我樂觀的相信，這將會發生。”

Democrats who are 'feeling completely discouraged' by last Tuesday's election, Obama said, should remember that 'things change pretty rapidly.'' But they don't change inevitably. They change because you work for it,' he said.
奧巴馬說，那些因上週四大選落敗而“完全氣餒”的民主黨人，應當記住“世事變化迅速”,“但是世事不會自然而然的發生改變，改變發生是因爲有人在背後爲之努力。”

Obama suggested during his news conference on Monday afternoon that Clinton didn't excite her supporters the way Trump did.
奧巴馬在週一下午舉行的新聞發佈會上談到，希拉里沒有像特朗普一樣激發支持者的熱情。

Recalling their conversation in the Oval Office last week, Obama said he told the president elect that he was impressed by Trump's ability to generate enthusiasm.
奧巴馬回憶起上週在美國白宮的“新舊總統”會面，他告訴這位新當選總統他被其激發選民熱情的能力折服。

'I think that to the extent that there were a lot of folks who missed the Trump phenomenon, I think that connection that he was able to make with his supporters,'
‘我認爲在某些程度上有很多懷念特朗普現象的人，他能夠跟他的支持者們建議一種緊密的聯繫。’
