　　特朗普当总统？奥巴马说不可能

　　He said: "I continue to believe Mr Trump will not be president. And the reason is I have a lot of faith in the American people. I think they recognise being president is a serious job. It's not hosting a talk show or a reality show, it's not promotion, it's not marketing, it's hard and a lot of people count on us getting it right.

　　奥巴马说：“我依然认为，特朗普不可能成为下一任总统。原因是我对美国民众很有信心。我相信大家都明白，总统身负重担，其工作不可能像主持脱口秀或者真人秀那么简单。总统的工作不是宣传，也不是营销，要把总统做好很难，有那么多人指望着我们能做出正确决策，让事态好起来。

　　"It's not a matter of pandering and getting in the news every day. It requires being able to work with leaders around the world in a way that reflects the importance of the office, and gives people confidence that you know the facts, and you know their names, and you know where they are on a map, and you know something about their history."“当总统不是要去迎合选民，或者天天上新闻。作为总统，应该能和世界各国领导者们共同合作，由此显现出总统的价值。了解他国的现状，知道他们的名字，能在地图上指出他们的国土，对他们的历史略知一二，这些都很重要，因为这会带给人们信心。”

　　Mr Obama added: "The guy who's standing where I stand has the nuclear codes with him. He can order 21-year-olds into fire.

　　奥巴马还补充道：“接替我担任总统的人将能掌握核弹密码，他可以命令21岁的士兵冲锋陷阵。

　　"This is reported as entertainment but as you get closer (to the election) the reality has a way of intruding. The American people are pretty sensible and I think they'll make a sensible choice."“现在有关总统竞选的报道听起来就和闹着玩的一样，可一旦你走近（选举）就会发现，现实的情况是残酷的。好在美国民众们都颇为明智，我相信他们能做出理性的选择。”

　　Mr Obama was speaking at a press conference in California after hosting a summit with Southeast Asian leaders.

　　这番话是奥巴马在主持完东南亚领导人峰会之后，在加利福尼亚州召开的新闻发布会上说的。

　　He said: "This is not just Mr. Trump. Everyone's focusing on Trump because he says it in a more interesting way. He may up the ante in anti-Muslim sentiment, but if you look at what the other Republican candidates have said, that's pretty troubling, too. They're all denying climate change and that's troubling to the scientific community."他说道：“我要说的不只是特朗普。大家都只关注特朗普，因为他能将竞选一事说得天花乱坠。他或许借助于民众的反穆斯林情绪来给自己加码，可若是反观其他共和党竞选者的宣言你会发现，他们的言辞同样令人不安。他们都拒绝正视气候变暖问题，这会给科学界带来不小的麻烦。”

　　Mr Trump responded: "This man has done such a bad job and set us back so far. The borders are like Swiss cheese. For him to say that is actually a compliment.

　　对此，特朗普回应道：“奥巴马当总统这几年干得很糟糕，我们的生活可是跟着在倒退。现在美国的边境就跟瑞士奶酪一样漏洞百出，这么说他已经算是口下留情了。

　　"He's lucky I didn't run last time, when (Mitt) Romney ran, because he would have been a one-term president."“奥巴马应该庆幸，我没有参加上一次的总统竞选，他的对手只是（米特?）罗姆尼，要不然他恐怕是没办法连任的。”

　　The president refused to make a choice between the two Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

　　关于民主党候选人希拉里?克林顿和伯尼?桑德斯二者谁会笑到最后，奥巴马拒绝对此做出评论。
