康涅狄格州格林尼治——在政治圈里，这座小镇一直是某一个词的代名词：筹款。
GREENWICH, Conn.—This is a town that has been shorthand in political circles for one word: fundraising.
民主党和共和党的捐赠者们敞开他们美丽住宅的大门，举办各种派对；寻求竞选公职的候选人们在这里与人交际、品尝葡萄酒、吃开胃小菜，并回答那些他们希望资助其竞选活动的人提出的问题。
Democratic and Republican donors throw open the doors of their beautiful homes and hold parties where candidates for office mingle, drink wine, munch on appetizers and take questions from people they hope will fund their campaigns.
