标题: 美国大选已落幕，别忘了辩论稿这个学雅思的好材料
月前，美国大选已经落下了帷幕。虽然整场观察下来，很难讲这个获得了全世界瞩目的大型政治活动是否验证了美国式的民主的胜利。不过，远在大洋彼岸的我们可不能偷懒，因为美国大选辩论演讲稿正是学习雅思的好材料。

看剑桥雅思有没有觉得疲劳？听听力有没有听到打瞌睡？来一颗大选辩论药丸，来看看美国政治家怎么讨论社会问题，这些地道的表达和精炼的观点，对我们的大作文论证和口语表达帮助不要太大哦！

Round One: Achieving Prosperity
第一轮：实现繁荣

主持人说：The question is about putting more money into the Americans’ pockets.
问题是：如何让美国人的钱包鼓起来？

希拉里： First we have to build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top.
首先，我们要建立一个能为所有人服务的经济体，而非一个只为最富有那群人服务的。

That means we need more jobs, good jobs with rising incomes.
这意味着跟多的工作岗位，那种有着更高收入的好工作。

I want us to invest in you. I want us to invest in your future.
我眼中的投资对象是你们，是你们的未来。

That means jobs in infrastructure and in mass manufacturing, in innovation and technology, clean renewable energy and insmall businesses because most of the jobs will come from small business.
而这意味着基础设施建设和大型制造业里的岗位、创新和科技领域的岗位、清洁可再生能源领域的岗位，以及小企业里的岗位，因为这些工作大部分会来自小企业。

We also have to make the economy fairer.That starts with raising the national minimum wage and also guarantee finely equal pay for women’s work.
我们还得让经济环境更加公平。而这首先就得提高国家最低工资，同时还有确保女性得到平等的工作报酬。

I also wanna see more companies do profit sharing. If you helped make the profit you should be able to share them, not just the executives at the top.
我还希望看见更多公司来分红。如果你帮助一个公司赚取了利润，那你应该分享它，不应该只让顶层的高管来分享。

And I want us to do more to support people who are struggling to balance family and work. I’ve heard from so many of you about the difficult choices you face and the stresses you’re under.
我还希望我们给那些为了平和家庭与工作而焦头烂额的人更多支持。我已经听你们当中好多人讲过你们面临的艰难抉择和你们所承受的压力。

And let’s have paid family leave, earned sick days. Let’s make sure we have affordable childcare and debt-free college. How are we gonna do it? We’re gonnado it by making the wealthy pay their fair share, close the corporate loopholes.
让我们拥有带薪的探亲假、奖励性的病假额度。让我们来确保能有大众能负担得起的儿童保育设施以及无需借贷的大学。而我们要怎么做到这些呢？我们要让富有的人交他们应该交的那份钱，我们要堵住这些企业里的漏洞。

所以福特离开了。你看啊，对，他们的小型车部门，走了。数以千计的工作岗位，离开了密西根，离开了俄亥俄，它们都在离开。而我们不能允许这种事继续发生，因为我们还有儿童保育问题需要花钱，还有很多其他事。

I think Hillary and I agree on that and we probably disagree on numbers and amounts and what we’re going to do but perhaps we’ll talk about that later.
我想希拉里和我都同意这一点，不过我们队数字什么的应该是有不同意见的，而我么等下可能会在这上面进行讨论。
