奥巴马流泪要求加强枪支控制 [英国媒体]

​

tear-stained Barack Obama marked his final year in office with a last-ditch call for US gun control on Tuesday as he outlined new rules that will close important background check loopholes but leave much of the political heavy lifting to his successor.

奥巴马用泪水为他在总统任期的最后一年为控枪所做的最后努力打上了标记，他于周三颁布了新的行政命令，将填补背景审查方面的重大漏洞，但此举也将为其继任者留下沉重的政治负担。

In a much-anticipated speech that focused more on what still needed to be done than the limited set of executive actions announced in advance by the White House, the president painted gun reform as the last great civil rights challenge of his generation.

奥巴马在其备受瞩目的演讲中并未着重于早前由白宫宣布的有限的行政措施，而强调了还应采取后继措施，总统将他的枪支改革描绘为，应对他这一世代的最后一次重大公民权利的挑战。

“In Dr King’s words, we need to feel the fierce urgency of now, because people are dying,” a visibly emotional Obama told an audience of mass shooting victims and relatives in the East Room.

面对大型枪击案的受害者家属及幸存者，奥巴马情绪激动的讲到：“用金博士的话来说，我们一定要有紧迫感，因为生命在消亡。”

A pathetic weakling who has done untold damage to the power and prestige of the United States.

一个给美国的力量与声望造成数不尽的损失的可怜懦夫。

Throwing rocks at women is monolithic. The right to bare arms is archaic.
Nations and their leaders need to address their own problems and stop the hypocrisy.

向女性扔石头是平庸的。裸露胳膊的权利是过时的
国家和它们的领导人该去纠正它们自己的错误，别再虚伪了。

Just a quick question to those who think that background checks violates their constitutional rights:
Does "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" include the right to pursue employment in (take your pick) job x, y or z.

 那些认为背景调查违反宪法权利的人，我想问你们一个问题：
“生活，自由和追求幸福”当中包括了在工作等等事务中追求雇佣的权利吗？

There will be shootings, only this time verbally, as Donald Trump starts shooting his big fat mouth off, as he engages that odious organ before engaging his very mixed up brain.

将会发生射击事件的，不过这次是口头上的，特朗普满口喷粪，说话不经他那一片混乱的大脑。

Here′s another bit of rushed writing: " jolt the American public out of the political stalemate." I think there are a few metaphors crushed unhappily into that. The politicians are caught in a stalemate. The public aren′t stuck in a stalemate, are they? It′s a blend of ideas I don′t want to untangle. It probably is trying to say that Obama wants to encourage the public to be more vocal about their unhappiness with the political stalement.
 
 这里还有另一句未经详细考虑就说的话：”将美国民众从政治僵局中带出来。“我觉得这隐含了一些让人不爽的含义。是政治家们他们自己陷入了政治僵局，而不是美国民众，这样才对不是吗？好吧，我不想去缕清这些混乱的含义。”将美国民众从政治僵局中带出来。“这句话或许只是想表达奥巴马他想鼓励普通民众对政治僵局表达更强烈的不满。

I bet he spent a lot of time in private prefecting those tears. They nearly didn't come in the end.

我敢打赌奥巴马私下里肯定花了不少时间来挤出那些眼泪，他到最后差点就挤不出来。

There are other more important aspects of this story to discuss. I would still like to ask why Obama was described as tear-stained. He may have wept and indeed it looks like he did. But was his face or clothing stained? He isn′t a handkerchief he′s the commanderinchief.
 
 虽然这新闻还有一些其它更重要的方面要讨论，但我仍然想问一下，为什么奥巴马被描述成了“带着眼泪”？他或许已经擦掉了眼泪而且他似乎也是这样子做的。不过他的脸部或者衣服是不是沾上了这些眼泪？
奥巴马他不是好哭鬼，他可是三军统帅。

Let's for a moment take the president's tears to be sincere. That he has genuinely in all these years in office, as supposedly the most powerful man in the country, done everything within his powers, but failed to convince the REAL powers that be, to stop this Cow Boy, the "right to bear arms" the Indians are coming mentality, that has been the basis of this countries existence since the 17th century. Then this 100% proves that there is no such thing as democracy in the USA. That the right to vote means absolutely nothing, because the person (party) you vote in to run the country, to "protect his people", has no power whatsoever to run the country, unless of courses you vote for a Bush, who worked for the arms industry anyway. Was their official sales man, marketing man, PR man, with with his best mate Tony (blood on his hands) Blaire...

让我们暂且相信这位总统的眼泪是真的，相信他这些年来在白宫所作所为都是真诚的，那么他作为大概是这国家最有权利的人，利用他手中的权利做了所有的事情，但却没能说服真正的掌权势力去阻止“西部牛仔”！这西部牛仔就是所谓的“持枪权”（让我想起了印第安人），这一权利自17世纪以来就成为了美国的立国之基。这100%表明了美国根本没有民主。投票权就是个屁，因为你所投票选出的来运作国家、保护人民的政治家或政党没有任何权利，除了你之前选出的布什，因为他替那些军火商工作，并且和他双手沾满鲜血的好基友 Tony Blaire（英国前首相）一起作为这些军火商的官方销售人员，营销人员

At the very last Obama shows us the potential that made him the great hope around the World.
Too little, too late. A tragedy really.

 在最后，奥巴马给我们展示了使他成为世界上最伟大的可能（指枪械管制）。
这不够并且也太晚了。真是一个悲剧。

Obama followed the modern tradition of hope. The allegiance to 'Liberty and Justice
for All' is the great hope for change; if ever there was - - noble virtues which are fading in favor of the almighty profits to be gained.

奥巴马继承当代的希望传统。对“所有人的自由和正义”的效忠让人们对改变满怀希望；如果曾经有过的话——高尚的品德正在渐渐消失，取而代之的是人们对利润的追逐。
 
The US allowed about any criminal or mental case access to guns ($$ profit first) then the frightened public wanted more protection/guns. Profit before people: Madness Mission Accomplished. It's an old story of greed and misery.

美国允许任何罪犯和精神病人持有枪支（利润第一），公众也由于恐惧而需要更多的枪支来保护自己。将利润放在公民之前：这个疯狂的任务已经完成了。这真是一个古老的贪婪且悲惨的故事。

In 2015 terrorists killed 14 people in Americans. Americans killed another 30,000 Americans.
We now know where stupid lives
 
 在2015年这一年里，有14名美国人死于恐怖分子手里，不过还有另外3万美国人死于自己人手里
我们现在知道问题出在哪了

then they should start bombing themselves into oblivion!
 
 （回复楼上）要真这样，那群杀害自己人的美国人应该以死谢罪！

30,000? That′s a really big number. I had heard it before but it′s a statistic that′s hard to come to terms with.
 
 （回复楼上上）3万人？真的好多。我之前听过这消息，不过这数字真的是让人受不了
 
fatfreddysfingers  bertnairobi 6 Jan 2016 09:19
It's true. Though no doubt there'l be a flood of people saying "yeah but 20k of them are suicide" as if that makes it somehow acceptable.
 
 （回复楼上）这数据是真的！但我知道会有一大波喷子说：“是啊，不过其中有两万人是自杀身亡的。”搞的好像这样子说就能让人接受一样。

I thought that the right to bear arms was in militias to fight the British. I think that this constitution thing is due a makeover. May good sense prevail. Weapons are for hunting for food with and for nothing else. Thou shalt not kill means just that. Humanity needs to evolve.

我觉得过去美国平民拥有武器不过是为了能随时加入民兵组织来对抗英国。我觉得这个机制是时候改一下了。到了如今社会，大家或许会理智地将武器作为捕猎的工具而不是杀人的工具，但是社会也还是需要做出改变了（暗指应该禁枪，已经没有英国殖民者了）。

I don't get how the second amendment can't be amended! Except, of course, that the NRA et al don't/won't allow it. Interesting that a LOT of what Trump is saying goes against the Constitution- why aren't people shouting about that? Maybe they are, I/we just haven't heard about it. The media is always full of bias.
Interestingly, I had lunch with a good friend yesterday who is from Michigan, and has just come back from her Christmas trip back home. She told me that a neighbour of hers owns a huge independent supermarket, and in a room at the back he sells guns. He just told her that he has never been as busy as he is now....
 
 我不明白为什么第二修正案通不过！噢，当然了，肯定又是美国全国步枪协会他们不答应了。不过有意思的是，特普朗（今年共和党总统竞选人，很有趣的人）说了那么多违反宪法的话，为什么反倒没人去反对？噢~或许他们反对了，只是我没注意到，因为媒体总是选择性报导。
有趣的是，我和一名才度完圣诞旅行，刚从密歇根（美国一个州）回来的好朋友吃过饭，她说她有个邻居开了个大超市，而且这邻居他还在超市后面的一个房间里卖枪，那生意别提有多火爆了。

It's worth bearing in mind that Ronald Reagan was in favour of increased checks before people were allowed to buy guns. His views back in the 80s on gun control were pretty close to Obama's now.

记得里根总统也是偏向对平民买枪进行限制的的，80年代里根总统对枪的限制跟现在的欧巴马非常相似。
