前美国总统巴拉克·奥巴马批评了唐纳德·特朗普总统第二任期内的“残酷与腐败”。
Former United States President Barack Obama has criticised the “cruelty and corruption” during President Donald Trump’s second term.
奥巴马周六在俄亥俄州的一场中期选举助选集会上抨击了特朗普的外交政策，为该州民主党候选人站台。
Obama slammed Trump’s foreign policies on Saturday during a midterm election campaign rally in Ohio to support the state’s Democratic candidates.
“现任总统选择做出一系列糟糕的决定，”这位65岁的民主党人说。“最重要的是，他决定发动一场没人要求的不必要战争，”他补充道，指的是美以对伊朗的战争。
“The current president chose to make a series of bad decisions,” the 65-year-old Democrat said. “Most importantly, he decided to start an unnecessary war that nobody asked for,” he added, referring to the US-Israel war on Iran.
奥巴马敦促俄亥俄州选民投票反对共和党政府，称：“在经历了两年的混乱、残酷、腐败和无能——这是现代史上未见之景——之后，你们有机会说‘够了’。”这位前总统还回应了俄亥俄州州长选举中最近围绕共和党候选人维韦克·拉马斯瓦米攻击民主党人艾米·阿克顿的争议。
Obama urged Ohioans to vote against the Republican administration, saying: “After two years of chaos and cruelty and corruption and incompetence, the likes of which we have not seen in the modern era, you get a chance to say, ‘Enough is enough’.”The former president also addressed the recent controversy in Ohio’s gubernatorial race surrounding an attack by Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy against Democrat Amy Acton.
“最近几天我们看到，没有他不敢跨越的底线，没有他不愿堕落的低谷，”奥巴马谈到拉马斯瓦米时说。“我不知道发生了什么，行为标准低到有人能播那样的广告。”在广告中，阿克顿的母亲唐娜·亚瑟反驳女儿关于童年流离失所及遭继父性虐待的说法，呼吁俄亥俄人不要投票给她。
“In recent days, we’ve seen there is no line he will not cross, no low he will not sink to,” Obama said of Ramaswamy. “I don’t know what’s happened where the standards of behaviour are so low that somebody could run an ad like that.”In the , Donna Arthur, Acton’s mother, disputes her daughter’s account of a childhood involving homelessness and sexual abuse by her stepfather, urging Ohioans not to vote for her.
阿克顿表示自1978年以来未见过母亲。阿克顿的兄弟支持她关于童年遭继父性虐待的说法。该继父于2004年去世，曾被控强奸罪。
Acton says she has not seen her mother since 1978. Acton’s brother has supported her account of being sexually abused by her stepfather when she was a child. The stepfather, who died in 2004, was charged with rape.
奥巴马支持阿克顿，称她“动人地讲述了痛苦的童年及所经历的一切：虐待、忽视和无家可归。”这位前总统与阿克顿及俄亥俄州前民主党参议员谢罗德·布朗同台，后者将试图击败现任共和党参议员乔恩·赫斯特德。
Obama backed Acton, saying that she has “spoken movingly about her painful childhood and all she’s experienced: abuse, neglect and homelessness.”The former president shared the rally stage with Acton and Ohio’s former Democratic senator, Sherrod Brown, who will attempt a comeback against incumbent Republican Senator Jon Husted.
民调显示民主党在俄亥俄州两场竞选中略微领先，但结果预计将非常胶着。
Polls give Democrats a slight lead in both Ohio races, but results are expected to be close.
