She grew up in Plymouth, Minnesota, went to Yale University and the University of Chicago Law School. Her family is of Slovenian descent. Yes, just like Melania Trump, and yes, she’ll joke about that.
埃米•克洛布彻在明尼苏达州的普利茅斯长大,去了耶鲁大学和芝加哥大学法学院念书。她的家庭来自斯洛文尼亚,就像Melania Trump一样,埃米自己也经常拿这点开玩笑。

Warren’s platform will focus on many of the same issues she’s worked on since she was a Harvard Law School professor who helped President Barack Obama create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau after the 2008 recession: cracking down on big banks, making corporations more accountable to workers, and expanding health care and housing for the middle class and low-income Americans.
沃伦曾是哈佛大学法学院教授。她曾帮助奥巴马总统在2008年经济衰退后创建了消费者金融保护局。未来她的团队会仍然将重点放在这些她一直在参与的问题上:打击大银行,让企业对工人更有责任心,并且为中产阶级和低收入的美国人提供更多的医疗和住房保障。

Gillibrand is expected to highlight gender inequality as a key issue in her campaign. In the last 10 years in the Senate, she’s taken far more liberal positions consistently, become known for her staunch opposition to Trump, and appears ready to run as a progressive.
预计“性别不平等”将成为柯尔斯滕•吉利布兰德竞选活动中的一个关键议题。在参议院任职的十年间,她一直更倾向自由主义立场,以坚决反对特朗普闻名,似乎准备好作为一个进步人士参选。

Born in Oakland to Indian and Jamaican immigrants, Harris is a groundbreaking candidate by all measures. Harris would be the first African-American woman and the first Asian-American woman to be a major-party nominee for president if she ultimately secures the Democratic nomination.
哈里斯出生在奥克兰,她的父母是印度和牙买加移民,从这点上来说哈里斯参选本身就是具有开创性的。如果她最终获得民主党提名的话,哈里斯将成为第一位获得主要党派总统提名的女性非裔和亚裔美国人。

When Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) was first elected to Congress in 2012 amid an ocean of positive press, the Iraq War veteran seemed like a sure-thing for a 2020 presidential run.She was also the first Hindu member of Congress.
2012年,Tulsi Gabbard在一片赞美声中首次入选美国国会。这个伊拉克战争的退伍军人参加2020年的总统大选似乎也是顺理成章的事。同时她也是第一位信奉印度教的国会成员。

而那边特朗普的阵营也没有闲着。
特朗普的儿媳劳拉•特朗普 Lara Trump周一在接受福克斯采访的时候认为“这五位女性是在浪费时间,建议她们等到2024年再来参加总统选举。”
"I kind of want to say to them 'why are you doing it now?, wait six more years and do it for 2024,'' she told Fox News on Monday.
"我想对她们说,为什么现在参加选举?再等六年,参加2024年的竞选吧,”她周一告诉福克斯新闻。

"It seems like a waste to me,' Trump, an adviser to her father-in-law's reelection campaign, added. 'This president - I always say - will win by more in 2020 than even in 2016."
“在我看来她们这么做似乎是浪费时间,”她说, “现任总统赢得2020年大选的概率会比2016更大。”

对于Lara的言论网友似乎并不买账
@Kathy H., buffalo, What is her great accomplishment that she should give these other women advice? She married a rich man?
@她是谁?她凭什么给那些女性建议?就凭她嫁了个有钱的老公?
你觉得美国是否会诞生一位女性总统呢?
