    Endorse
    US President Barack Obama formally endorsed *presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for president on June 9, saying he did not think there had ever been a nominee so qualified for the White House. Clinton and Obama were rivals during the 2008 Democratic primary that Obama won. Obama is expected to be on the campaign trail with Clinton next week in Wisconsin.
    6月9日,美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬為即將成為民主黨候選人的希拉里•克林頓 “背書”,宣稱他想不出還有哪位候選人有如此的資格可以入主白宮。2008年民主黨初選時,希拉里和奧巴馬還是對手,而當時奧巴馬獲勝了。希拉里下周將在威斯康辛舉行競選活動,奧巴馬可能也會參與其中。
    馬上學:Endorse“背書”原為金融詞匯,意指在支票等背后簽名表示支付或同意轉讓等。在民主選舉中,“背書”指有聲望的政治人物公開表態(tài)支持。此外,endorse還有“宣傳、形象代言”的意思。
