45.What are the two major political parties in the United States?
45.美國的兩大政黨是?
Answer: Democratic and Republican
答案:民主黨和共和黨
Explanation: More than 300 million people live in the United States and they have many different opinions about how the government should be.
解釋:美國有三億多人口,這些人對于政府應該如何運作的意見各異。
If each of them voted independently (or alone, not paying attention to what other people are doing), then it would be very difficult to predict (or know ahead of time) how our government would be, and no one would be able to have very much power in American government.
如果他們每個人都單獨投票(或獨自,不關心其他人在做什么)的話,那么就很難預測(或事先知道)我們的政府會是什么樣的,并且沒有人能在美國政府中擁有太多的權力。
However, our country has many political parties (or organized groups of people who have similar political opinions and try to get power in the government) that people can be affiliated with (or connected to as a member).
然而,我們國家有很多的政黨(或有組織的一群人,他們有相同的政治觀點并試圖在政府中獲得權力)可供人們加入(或聯系在一起的黨員)。
The two biggest political parties are the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.
最大的兩大政黨是民主黨和共和黨。
The Democratic Party is more liberal, believing that wealth (or money) should be shared among all people and that the government should make laws to help this happen, even if that means having higher taxes (or money paid to the government) so it can give help and services to everyone.
民主黨更加自由,認為財富(或金錢)應該人人共享并且政府應該通過立法來實現這一點,即使這意味著征更重的賦稅(或上交給政府的錢),這樣它就能向所有人提供幫助和服務。
The Democratic Party is also left-leaning socially, emphasizing (or giving importance to) protecting the environment, equal (or the same) rights for all people, and other social issues.
民主黨在社會問題上更為左傾,強調(或注重)保護環境,人人的權利平等(或相同)和其他的社會問題。
