Instead, he lets a group of donors know that he is “exploring” the possibility of a bid, as if the campaign trail were some inaccessible region inhabited by polar bears. For Mitt Romney, who told donors on January 9th that he might run again, after months of scoffing at the idea, it is hardly unfamiliar terrain. Should he give it a go, 2017 would see the third Romney presidential campaign (not counting his fathers).一个人即使想要竞选总统，对选民他也会绝口不提，也不会就某事踩定立场，而是放出风声给那些捐助人，让他们知道他正在“招标”，貌似竞选遥遥不可及，还缩在北极熊那旮旯里。而对于罗姆尼，这一场景也是似曾相识，他在1月9号告知捐助人，在几个月的深思熟虑后，他可能决定再度参选。若不算他的父亲，这已经是第三个参选的罗姆尼。Why Mr Romneya decent man who in 2012 was pounded by adverts painting him as a heartless capitalist and careless pet owner, then denounced as useless by fellow Republicans when he lostshould want to make another attempt on the presidency is a puzzle. Perhaps the best explanation was given by another explorer: because it is there. In very early polling, Mr Romney tops a list of possible Republican candidates so long that it is sometimes quicker to mention who is not running. The likely Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, currently looks a formidable opponent for any of them, but she has hardly been tested yet and, if she runs, will get little campaigning practice in her partys primary.为何罗姆尼决定再注一掷原因仍然不明，要知道这样一个体面的人在2012年却被媒体渲染成一个没心没肺的资本家，粗心大意的饲养者，铩羽而归之日又被共和党人指责毫无用武之地，也许原因来自一项调查：调查结果显示总统一职几乎手到擒来。早先的投票结果中，罗姆尼位居所有共和党人之首，领先差距之大有时能一眼看出哪些已没希望，而民主党候选人可能是希拉里克林顿，一旦成功几乎是他们所有人最为强劲的对手，但她还没有经过试炼，在初选中获得的经验也是寥寥无几。Also in Mr Romneys favour is his surname. He would begin any campaign with the sort of recognition that costs many millions of dollars. More important, his name is not Bush, which polling suggests is not a popular one among independent voters. Republicans last won the White House without a Bush on the ticket in 1972. But if feelings were to harden against Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida and a fellow 2017 explorer, it would create some space on the business wing of the party, which thought it had found a winner until Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey, got into a kerfuffle over a bridge and saw his states bonds downgraded.=罗姆尼的姓氏无疑给他赢得了加分，这种认可度作为任何竞选的起点往往会耗资百万，更重要的是它不姓布什，这个姓氏在选民中可不受欢迎，上一次非布什家族的人入主白宫还得追溯到1972年，但如果人们一意抵制杰布布什佛罗里达前州长及2017参选人，到会给该党经济翼创造更多空间，之前他们也是满心以为胜券在握，但新泽西州州长克里斯克里斯蒂无疑给他们泼了一盆冷水，Were that gap to open, one of Mr Romneys immediate tasks would be to write a campaign book. Even for a life as lively as his, a third autobiography may seem like overkill. Though he is a self-described turnaround specialist, a Romney presidency seems unlikely. But thats what they said about Ronald Reagan, whose first two bids also failed.若差距拉大，那罗姆尼的当务之急便是写一本竞选书籍，但即使他的阅历多姿多彩，第三本自传也显得叠床架屋，虽然他自称尤擅重张旗鼓，但赢得希望还是十分渺茫。但这也是当年对于里根的主流看法，他前两次竞选均为碰壁。1.look for 寻找;期待We look for applicants who are numerate, computer-literate and energetic self-starters.我们对求职者的要求是具备运算能力，熟练使用电脑，精力充沛而且工作积极主动。They look for foods that are low in calories.他们要找低卡路里的食物。2.want to 想去;想要When life gets hard and you want to give up, remember that life is full of ups and downs, andwithout the downs, the ups would mean nothing.当生活很艰难，你想要放弃的时候，请记住，生活充满了起起落落，如果没有低谷，那站在高处也失去了意义。The difference between who you are and who you want to be is what you do.你是什么样的人和你想成为什么样的之间的差距就是，你做了什么。凯程教育：凯程考研备考成立于2005年，国内首家全日制集训机构考研备考，一直从事高端全日制辅导，由李海洋教授、张鑫教授、卢营教授、王洋教授、杨武金教授、张释然教授、索玉柱教授、方浩教授等一批高级考研备考教研队伍组成，为学员全程高质量授课、答疑、测试、督导、报考指导、方法指导、联系导师、复试等全方位的考研备考服务。凯程考研备考的宗旨：让学习成为一种习惯；凯程考研备考的价值观口号：凯旋归来，前程万里；信念：让每个学员都有好最好的归宿；使命：完善全新的教育模式，做中国最专业的考研备考辅导机构；激情：永不言弃，乐观向上；敬业：以专业的态度做非凡的事业；服务：以学员的前途为已任，为学员提供高效、专业的服务，团队合作，为学员服务，为学员引路。如何选择考研备考辅导班：在考研备考准备的过程中，会遇到不少困难，尤其对于跨专业考生的专业课来说，通过报辅导班来弥补自己复习的不足，可以大大提高复习效率，节省复习时间，大家可以通过以下几个方面来考察辅导班，或许能帮你找到适合你的辅导班。 师资力量：师资力量是考察辅导班的首要因素，考生可以针对辅导名师的辅导年限、辅导经验、历年辅导效果、学员评价等因素进行综合评价，询问往届学长然后选择。判断师资力量关键在于综合实力，因为任何一门课程，都不是由一、两个教师包到底的，是一批教师配合的结果。还要深入了解教师的学术背景、资料著述成就、辅导成就等。凯程考研备考名师云集，李海洋、张鑫教授、方浩教授、卢营教授、孙浩教授等一大批名师在凯程授课。而有的机构只是很普通的老师授课，对知识点把握和命题方向，欠缺火候。对该专业有辅导历史：必须对该专业深刻理解，才能深入辅导学员考取该校。在考研备考辅导班中，从来见过如此辉煌的成绩：凯程教育拿下2017五道口金融学院状元，考取五道口15人，清华经管金融硕士10人，人大金融硕士15个，中财和贸大金融硕士合计20人，北师大教育学7人，会计硕士保录班考取30人，翻译硕士接近20人，中传状元王园璐、郑家威都是来自凯程，法学方面，凯程在人大、北大、贸大、政法、武汉大学、公安大学等院校斩获多个法学和法硕状元，更多专业成绩请查看凯程网站。在凯程官方网站的光荣榜，成功学员经验谈视频特别多，都是凯程战绩的最好证明。对于如此高的成绩，凯程集训营班主任邢老师说，凯程如此优异的成绩，是与我们凯程严格的管理，全方位的辅导是分不开的，很多学生本科都不是名校，某些学生来自二本三本甚至不知名的院校，还有很多是工作了多年才回来考的，大多数是跨专业考研备考，他们的难度大，竞争激烈，没有严格的训练和同学们的刻苦学习，是很难达到优异的成绩。最好的办法是直接和凯程老师详细沟通一下就清楚了。建校历史：机构成立的历史也是一个参考因素，历史越久，积累的人脉资源更多。例如，凯程教育已经成立10年（2005年），一直以来专注于考研备考，成功率一直遥遥领先，同学们有兴趣可以联系一下他们在线老师或者电话。有没有实体学校校区：有些机构比较小，就是一个在写字楼里上课，自习，这种环境是不太好的，一个优秀的机构必须是在教学环境，大学校园这样环境。凯程有自己的学习校区，有吃住学一体化教学环境，独立
