卡玛拉·哈里斯在中期选举最后冲刺阶段，跨越多州为民主党候选人助选。
Kamala Harris has been campaigning for Democratic candidates across multiple states during the final stretch of the midterm elections.
比尔·巴罗 亚特兰大报道 —— 在败给唐纳德·特朗普的总统大选两年后，卡玛拉·哈里斯依然以抨击特朗普的言论博得民主党捐赠者和活动人士的欢心，她称这位共和党人“冷酷、腐败且无能”，并讽刺他是“首席装饰师”，指其对白宫进行装修并添置金饰。
BILL BARROW ATLANTA — Two years after Kamala Harris lost the presidential election to Donald Trump she still delights Democratic donors and activists with jabs against him, saying the Republican is “callous, corrupt and incompetent” and calling him the“decorator in chief” for his White House renovations and gold adornments.
但这位前副总统也对她的政党、选民和国家下一步该怎么做有很多主张，同时她也在考虑是否再次参选。
But the former vice president also has plenty to say about what her party, the electorate and the country should do next as she also considers whether to run again.
“这是我们将愤怒转化为行动的时刻，”哈里斯在中期竞选最后冲刺阶段繁忙的行程中不止一次说道。
“This is the moment where we turn that anger into action,” Harris said more than once during a busy schedule in the final stretch of the midterm campaign.
哈里斯跨越七个州为候选人助选，最后以最近为期两天的佐治亚州之行收官。这在一定程度上类似于巴拉克·奥巴马和比尔·克林顿——两位已卸任的两届总统——的怀旧之旅，也类似于潜在未来竞争者如加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽森、肯塔基州州长安迪·贝谢尔以及纽约联邦众议员亚历山德拉·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯的巡回竞选。
Harris campaigned for candidates across seven states, ending with a recent two-day visit to Georgia. It was, in parts, the kind of nostalgic tour seen from Barack Obama Bill Clinton— two-term presidents whose last campaigns are behind them — and the barnstorming from potential future contenders such as Govs. Gavin Newsom of California and Andy Beshear of Kentucky or U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.
作为首位当选全国性职务的黑人女性，哈里斯敦促非裔美国人用选票“致敬先辈”，但她也变得毫不掩饰地“讲究交易”，向政客们提出更高要求。
As the first Black woman elected to nationwide office, Harris urged fellow Black Americans to “honor the ancestors” with their votes but she also has become unapologetically “transactional” by demanding more from politicians.
哈里斯在搭档乔·拜登竞选2020年大选前是加利福尼亚州参议员，她还推动民主党同僚大胆施政，并呼吁进行“结构性工作”，称这对于重振美国民主至关重要：扩充美国最高法院大法官席位、授予哥伦比亚特区和波多黎各州地位，以及重新审视选举人团制度。
Harris, a California senator before joining Joe Biden on the 2020 ticket, also pushed fellow Democrats to govern aggressively and she called for “structural work” that she said was necessary to reinvigorate American democracy: U.S. Supreme Court expansion, statehood for the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and reconsideration of the Electoral College.
“我觉得她讲得全都对，”退休护士梅琳达·约翰逊说，她出席了哈里斯在亚特兰大主讲的富尔顿县民主党筹款晚宴。
“I think she’s hitting all the right notes,” said Melinda Johnson, a retired nurse who attended a Fulton County Democratic Party fundraising gala that Harris headlined in Atlanta.
哈里斯造访了内华达州、新罕布什尔州和密歇根州等早期总统初选州。她还代表美国参议员候选人斯科特·科洛姆前往密西西比州——这并非总统政治的热土。
Harris made it to early presidential primary states including Nevada, New Hampshire and Michigan. She also went to Mississippi, not exactly a hotbed of presidential politics, on behalf of U.S. Senate candidate Scott Colom.
“南方正处于角逐之中，”她说。“当民主党在南方投入资源时，我们就能在南方获胜。”在佐治亚州，哈里斯深入探讨了民权历史，指责美国最高法院以“后门种族主义”废除《投票权法案》核心条款，并允许共和党重新划定国会选区边界，导致现在选出的议员多为非白人。
“The South is in play,” she said. “When Democrats invest in the South, we can win in the South.”In Georgia, Harris delved into civil rights history as she accused the U.S. Supreme Court of “backdoor racism” with its decision to gut the Voting Rights Act and allow Republicans to redraw boundaries for congressional districts that now elect nonwhite lawmakers.
“果敢”是关键，她在亚特兰大的民主党晚宴上表示。“不是指残酷意义上的果敢……而是指我们愿意为兑现承诺而运用权力的决心。”她说，民主党“不能再让程序阻碍进步”。在各站行程中，哈里斯隐晦地提及了她败给特朗普的经历。
“Ruthlessness” is key, she said at the Democratic dinner in Atlanta. “Not ruthlessness in the sense of cruelty … but in our willingness to use our power to deliver on our commitments.”Democrats, she said, “can no longer let process stand in the way of progress.”Throughout her stops, Harris nodded implicitly at her loss to Trump.
“你们知道，过去一年半里，我们许多人经历了各种情绪，”她对学生们说。“愤怒、抑郁、悲伤、挫败感，以及无助和无力感。”她警告特朗普可能试图干预周二的选举，引用了总统本人的一句口头禅来鼓励人们投票。
“You know we’ve been spending the last year and a half, so many of us, going through a range of emotions,” she told students. “Anger, depression, sadness, frustration, a sense of helplessness and powerlessness.”Warning that Trump could try to meddle in Tuesday’s election, she echoed one of the president’s own mantras to encourage people to vote.
“在这种情况下，”她在亚特兰大的伊丽莎白浸信会教堂说，“我们只需要以真正大量的数量投票，多到无法舞弊的地步。”
“In this case,” she said at Atlanta’s Elizabeth Baptist Church, “we just need to turn out in really large numbers that would be too big to rig.”
