But let's just take this map as given
不過(guò)，現(xiàn)在我們先假設(shè)這幅地圖是可信的
showing the least religious areas of the country at the Pacific ocean, New England and New York
可以看到，宗教虔誠(chéng)度最低的區(qū)域包括太平洋沿岸，新英格蘭地區(qū)和紐約
basically two pretty solid blocks
兩個(gè)堅(jiān)定的泛藍(lán)區(qū)
Nevada which has actually lower attendance rates of church is not a blue state,
內(nèi)華達(dá)州民眾的禮拜次數(shù)也相對(duì)較低，它并不是一個(gè)藍(lán)色州
but a purple state, a swing state
而是紫色州，即搖擺州
It went for George Bush in the most recent election
在最近一次競(jìng)選中它把票投給了布什
it's tending for Barack Obama right now
現(xiàn)在的競(jìng)選中，它更傾向于支持奧巴馬
But it's certainly would be classified by anyone as a purple state
無(wú)論是誰(shuí)都會(huì)很干脆地把它歸為一個(gè)紫色州
And we have a few other oddities
還有一些值得注意的比較特別的現(xiàn)象
we find that the inter mountain west tends to not be very religious except Utah and Idaho
我們發(fā)現(xiàn)洛基山脈西部的區(qū)域，信教虔誠(chéng)度都不高，但猶他州和愛(ài)達(dá)荷州是兩個(gè)例外
This would be the Mormon culture block which has very high rates of religious attendance
因?yàn)檫@兩個(gè)州屬于摩門教文化盛行的區(qū)域，摩門教徒參加宗教儀式的次數(shù)都非常高
The Wyoming which is a very heavily Republican voting state
懷俄明州是一個(gè)共和黨支持率非常高的地方
actually fairly low rates of church attendance
但當(dāng)?shù)孛裰鞯亩Y拜次數(shù)卻偏低
And we find in part of the upper great lakes states like Minnesota,
我們看到部分大湖區(qū)域的州如明尼蘇達(dá)州，
which is actually has been the most reliably Democratic voting state over the last 50 years
在過(guò)去50年中一直是民主黨最依賴的"票倉(cāng)"
hasn't gone Republican since 1972 has actually much higher rates of religious attendance than many other states
1972年后就沒(méi)有把票投給過(guò)共和黨，但明尼蘇達(dá)的宗教活動(dòng)參加次數(shù)比其他州高很多
You can see fairly high in Pennsylvania
賓夕法尼亞州參加活動(dòng)頻率也很高
So yeah, the basic pattern religious south parts of the great plains Utah heavily Republican voting
所以大致規(guī)律如下，虔誠(chéng)度較高的大平原南部以及猶他州，都是明顯的親共和黨州
Any more secular of north east and west coast.
東北部和西部海岸較為世俗，則親民主黨。
So the pattern holds. But not perfectly as we look at this.
基本的模式就是這樣的，但它并不是完全絕對(duì)的
What are the some of the other factors that often associate with the red states versus the blue states
還有什么其他因素經(jīng)常會(huì)影響一個(gè)州的紅藍(lán)傾向呢?
One would be, another one well it's not a great map again, I'm pretty exciting that people would laugh at it
還有一種因素就是，這不是幅好地圖，你們看到地圖又笑了
This is the map of Starbucks per capita WalMart's per capita
這幅圖反映的是星巴克和沃爾瑪人均消費(fèi)水平
It is very common on the Internet
這幅地圖在網(wǎng)上非常流行
It's been comment on vary but actually it doesn't work that well
人們對(duì)它議論紛紛，但其實(shí)它并沒(méi)有很好地反映真實(shí)情況
If you look at it what is this map is really showing
如果你仔細(xì)地看這幅地圖，會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這幅地圖表現(xiàn)出的
as much anything else as what the geographer would called diffusional patterns
是一種被地理學(xué)家稱為"擴(kuò)散"的地理現(xiàn)象
Starbucks started in the north west and diffused outwards
星巴克在西北部起家，并向外圍擴(kuò)散
so we can see a lot of coverage in states like Arizona
所以它在亞利桑那這種地區(qū)覆蓋范圍很廣
Arizona hasn gone for, went for Clinton in 1996 other then hasn't gone for Democrat candidate since 1964
亞利桑那州1996年支持的是克林頓，是該州在1964年后唯一支持的民主黨人
All that other thing to is a lot of western cowboy culture
另外一個(gè)影響因素是當(dāng)?shù)氐奈鞑颗Ｗ形幕?/div>
They are into coffee that's something you would notice very clearly.
他們非常熱愛(ài)喝咖啡，你們都知道
So that has something do with it
星巴克該地區(qū)人均消費(fèi)高和這也有點(diǎn)關(guān)系
