美共和党人在新罕布什尔州忙碌竞选

In U.S. politics, the Republican presidential contenders are focusing their campaign efforts in New Hampshire in advance of Tuesday’s primary vote to choose a presidential candidate to take on President Barack Obama in November.

美国的政坛，眼下共和党总统参选人正集中精力在东北部的新罕布什尔州星期二举行初选之前，紧张地进行竞选活动。共和党人现在要挑选出一名总统候选人和现任总统奥巴马在今年11月一决高下。

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney got an enthusiastic welcome Saturday at a campaign rally in southern New Hampshire.

前麻萨诸塞州州长罗姆尼星期六在新罕布什尔州南部的一次竞选集会上受到热情欢迎。

Romney leads in all the polls here but appears to be taking nothing for granted. He is well aware that New Hampshire voters can be fickle no matter what the polls say, so he is urging supporters to get out and vote on Tuesday.

罗姆尼虽然在新罕布什尔州的所有民调中都大幅领先，但是他看来并没有觉得这一切都是理所当然。他深知不管民调结果如何，新罕布什尔的选民会充满变数，所以他敦促他的支持者星期二出来投票。

“Let me tell you, don’t get too confident with those poll numbers," Romney said. "I’ve watched polls come and go and things change very quickly," It’s very fluid. I need to make sure you guys get your friends to go out and vote, and you vote as well.”

罗姆尼说：“让我告诉你们，不要对民调数字太过自信。我看到民调上下来来回回，形势变得很快。形势很不确定。我需要确信让你们的朋友出来投票，当然你们自己也出来投票。”

Romney is favored in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary and hopes to build on his razor-thin victory in the Iowa caucus voting over former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum. Romney, Santorum and four other Republican candidates will face off in a debate Saturday night, and then again, on Sunday morning before Tuesday's primary vote.

罗姆尼在星期二新罕布什尔州的初选中格外受到青睐，他希望在爱奥华州的党团会议选举中以极其微弱的优势战胜前宾夕法尼亚州联邦参议员桑托罗姆的基础上乘胜前进。

Santorum rode a wave of support from social conservatives in Iowa, including many Christian conservatives. But New Hampshire is known more for independent voters than strong social conservatives, so Santorum may find it harder to build support here.

桑托罗姆在爱奥华州赢得社会保守派人士的大力支持，其中包括很多基督教保守派人士。但是新罕布什尔州以独立选民而不是势力强大的社会保守派人士而著称。因此桑托罗姆可能发现，在这里赢得支持困难很大。

Texas Congressman Ron Paul, former Utah governor Jon Huntsman and former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich are also competing in New Hampshire.

德克萨斯州联邦众议员罗恩．保罗、前犹他州州长洪博培以及前美国众议院议长金里奇也在新罕布什尔州竞选。
