Virginia could be really interesting things about Virginia you can see on the map
弗吉尼亞 弗吉尼亞，很有意思的是 你可以從地圖中看到
Virginia all the cities are not part of counties
弗吉尼亞的城市都不被看作縣的一部分
every incorporated city is an entity under itself and is treated in election that as if it were a county
每個地跨多縣的城市都被看作一個實體 在大選中被看作一個和縣一樣的單位
so you can see city level here that you can't see otherwise
所以這里你可以看到其他州都沒有的單個城市的選情
you can see a place like Roanoke, the city going for Kerry and the county going for Bush
例如你看到羅諾克市 這個城市是支持克里的 但它所在的縣則支持布什
Danville it's the same

here's Richmond the city as going but all of the county which is where most the people live going for Bush

you can see University of Virginia here

big population concentration in the Hampton Roads area, Virginia Beach-Newport News some of the city cores yes going for Kerry
聚集了大量人口的漢普頓海峽區(qū)域，弗吉尼亞灘，紐波特紐斯等城市的中心都是支持克里的
most of the counties certainly going for Bush

real key area is northern Virginia where there has been a major change
最關(guān)鍵的是弗吉尼亞北部 這里發(fā)生過很大的變化
it used to be the D.C. suburbs in Maryland were Democratic voting, the D.C. suburbs in Virginia were Republican voting
過去哥倫比亞特區(qū)靠近馬里蘭的郊區(qū)是傾向民主黨的 靠近弗吉尼亞的郊區(qū)是傾向共和黨的
that's really changed

this is probably going to be another change
這里的選情也很有可能出現(xiàn)變化
actually I heard people say the election could be decided in Prince William County
我甚至聽有的人說過這次大選 鹿死誰手全看威廉王子縣的選情了
well that's an exaggeration
當(dāng)然，這是種夸張的說法
but there has been a real transformation here in northern Virginia over the last 4 years and even before then
但北弗吉尼亞地區(qū)在過去4年的確在發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)變 也許不止4年前
Virginia hasn't gone for a Democratic candidate since 1964 which is one of the most solidly Republican voting states and that's really changed
弗吉尼亞自1964年以來就沒再選過民主黨候選人 是最堅定的共和黨陣營之一 而情況正在發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)變
