威廉·麦格恩（《阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德面临艰难冲刺》，《主街》，10月20日）捕捉到了阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德面临的问题：当被问及是否与穆斯林兄弟会划清界限时，他回答：“当然。是的，绝对。”
William McGurn (“A Rough Homestretch for Abdul El-Sayed,” Main Street, Oct. 20) captures the problem faced by Abdul El-Sayed who, when asked whether he’d disavow the Muslim Brotherhood, responded, “Sure. Yeah, absolutely.”
这是一种令人信服不了的口头耸肩，一位哥伦比亚广播公司记者称之为“壮观的自摆乌龙”。埃尔-赛义德先生可以帮助解决这个问题。
That’s an unconvincing verbal shrug that a CBS correspondent called a “spectacular self-own.”Mr. El-Sayed can help fix this.
他只需专门谴责那些目前在尼日利亚、苏丹和其他非洲国家奴役和屠杀黑人的圣战运动。
All he need do is specifically denounce the jihadist movements that are currently enslaving and massacring blacks in Nigeria, Sudan and other African countries.
