脸书创始人向希拉里捐款2,000万美元 势要阻止特朗普
WASHINGTON (AP) — A billionaire Facebook co-founder says he is giving $20 million to help defeat Donald Trump, calling the Republican presidential candidate divisive and dangerous and his appeals to Americans who feel left behind “quite possibly a deliberate con.”
华盛顿(美联社) — 脸书合伙创始人亿万富翁达斯汀·莫斯科维茨表示他将捐款2,000万美元(约合1.3亿人民币),来阻止共和党总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普当选,称其制造分裂,十分危险,他的呼吁让美国人感觉“这很可能是一场蓄谋的骗局。”
By contrast, Dustin Moskovitz says Democrats and their nominee, Hillary Clinton, are “running on a vision of optimism, pragmatism, inclusiveness and mutual benefit.”
达斯汀·莫斯科维茨表示,相比之下民主党及其总统候选人希拉里·克林顿“延续乐观、务实、包容、互利的精神。”
Moskovitz wrote about the contributions in a Thursday night posting on the website Medium.
周四晚莫斯科维茨在网站Medium上写下其贡献。
“As a nation, we need to figure out how to bring everyone with us, and we believe the Democratic platform currently is more aligned with ensuring that happens,” he wrote.
“作为一个国家,我们需要找到把每个人团结起来的方式,我们相信目前民主党的平台更符合确保实现该目标,”他写道。
“In comparison, Donald Trump’s promises to this group are quite possibly a deliberate con, an attempt to rally energy and support without the ability or intention to deliver. His proposals are so implausible that the nation is forced to worry that his interest in the presidency might not even extend beyond winning a contest and promoting his personal brand.”
“相比之下,特朗普·唐纳德的承诺很可能是一场蓄谋的骗局,试图凝聚力量,没有能力也未打算兑现承诺。他的提议让人难以置信,以致于整个国家不得不担心他对赢得这场竞选、提升个人形象的兴趣甚至很可能超越了对总统的兴趣。”
Moskovitz said he and his wife, Cari Tuna, are giving half of their $20 million to the League of Conservation Voters and to the For Our Future political action committee. The latter group is a get-out-the-vote effort in battleground states that is paid for primarily by labor unions and hedge fund billionaire Tom Steyer.
莫斯科维茨表示他和妻子凯莉·图纳将2,000万美元中的1,000万美元捐给保育选民联盟和 For Our Future政治行动委员会。后者在竞争激烈的几个州里动员投票,主要是由工会和对冲基金的亿万富翁汤姆·史泰尔资助。
Moskovitz and Tuna also are giving directly to Clinton’s campaign and to party committees helping Senate and congressional Democrats, he said.
莫斯科维茨和图纳也直接为克林顿的竞选及其团体委员会捐款,帮助参议院和国会的民主党派人士,他表示。
Moskovitz’s political giving makes him the second-largest Democratic contributor of the election, after Steyer.
莫斯科维茨的政治捐款使他成为这次总统大选为民主党派捐款的第二大捐款人,位于史泰尔之后。
