[13:01.24]Dr.Jackson,an image expert who had worked with three presidencies51,
[13:04.87]杰克逊博士是一位曾效力于三任总统的形象专家，
[13:08.50]talked about the prevalent need of a society to trust their leader.

[13:13.96]A campaign therefore needed to put a premium52

[13:25.67]他不仅应按流行时尚穿着打扮，
[13:27.86]and have a presence that exuded54 confidence.
[13:30.13]而且还要具有显示信心的风度。
[13:32.40]Too much focus on image,however,could backfire

[13:37.23]and become a prescription55 for public opinion to fall.
[13:39.86]成为促使民意下滑的药方。
[13:42.48]As he continued,he talked about previous successes and failures.
[13:46.31]接下来，他谈到了过去的成功和失败。
[13:50.14]The first failure
[13:51.67]第一次失败是
[13:53.19]was when he prescribed that Ronald Reagan should look well groomed56.
[13:55.92]他嘱咐罗纳德·里根应穿戴整齐，

[14:04.98]It was a public relations disaster
[14:07.26]那是场公共关系灾难，
[14:09.55]and prestige was lost that could never be recovered.

[14:14.30]With the previous president,in contrast,Dr.Jackson had succeeded
[14:18.38]相比之下，杰克逊博士对前一位总统的建议是成功的。
[14:22.45]by convincing Clinton not to let his words with the public appear premeditated.

[14:35.28]that Clinton was forgiven many indiscretions.
[14:37.51]以致人们原谅了他种种不检点行为，
[14:39.74]He even survived a prevailing desire to be removed from office!

[14:45.81]Dr.Jackson was presumably not working with the current president.
[14:49.44]杰克逊博士可能不会为现任总统效力。
[14:53.07]It was presupposed by Bush

[14:56.91]that he could just be himself and let the public love or hate him.
[14:59.39]无论公众爱他也好恨他也好，他都会我行我素。
[15:01.87]This premise58 worked to an extent
[15:04.30]这一假设在一定程度上奏效了，
[15:06.73]and there was a degree of respect for Bush's honesty,
[15:09.07]布什的诚实赢得了一定程度的尊重。
[15:11.41]but Dr.Jackson said,
