奧巴馬贏了,這本身就是一個巨大的意義,不管他以后是不是能兌現(xiàn)他的競選諾言,他的勝利已經給美國帶來了變化,并且改善了美國在世界上的形象?,F(xiàn)在,世界上很多人都在為慶祝奧巴馬的勝利而狂歡,美國又重新成為一個給人希望、值得向往的國度。
共和黨形象不佳和經濟危機幫了奧巴馬的大忙,使他以極大的優(yōu)勢擊敗對手麥凱恩。我們來看看英文媒體是怎么描述他的勝利的吧:
Barack Obama swept to victory as the first black president in the US history Tuesday night in an electoral college landslide that overcame racial barriers as old as America itself.
這里用到的sweep 這個詞表示“贏得完全勝利/壓倒性的勝利to win a complete or overwhelming victory in (a contest)”,比如:Johnson swept the presidential election of 1964. 約翰遜在1964年總統(tǒng)選舉中贏得壓倒性的勝利。
Sweep 還可以表示“贏得(比賽或競賽)每一階段的勝利to win (every game, round, hand, etc., of a series of contests)”,比如:The Yankees swept the three-game series. 洋基隊連著三場比賽大獲全勝。
也有的新聞是這樣寫的:
Obama won a landslide victory with 349 electoral votes while McCain only got 162 votes. A candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win the White House. US President Bush called Obama to congratulate him on his victory shortly after McCain conceded defeat.
According to US media projections, Democrat Barack Obama has scored a landslide victory in the marathon presidential race to be elected as the first African-American US president.
這里的landslide 是指“一面倒的勝利,特質一個政黨或候選人的壓倒多數(shù)的勝利”,landslide victory,landslide win 都表示“壓倒性的勝利”,與之相配和的動詞既可以用win,也可以用score,比如我們上文中的兩個例子。當然我們也可以說“Obama won the presidential election with a landslide victory.”
