オバマ大統領が兵士と家族を前に演説するも、聴衆は沈黙で答える
President Barack Obama was greeted with fleeting applause and extended
periods of silence as he offered profuse praise to soldiers and their
families during an Aug. 31 speech in Fort Bliss, Texas.
オバマ大統領の31日のテキサス州Fort Bliss基地での演説は兵士らに対する惜
しみない賛辞に満ちたものであったが、歓声は短く聴衆は長く沈黙を守った
His praise for the soldiers ? and for his own national-security policies
? won cheers from only a small proportion of the soldiers and families
in the cavernous aircraft-hanger.
大統領の安全保障政策と兵士らへの賛辞は兵士と家族の一部分の歓声で答えられ
たのみであった
The audience remains quiet even when the commander-in-chief thanked the
soldiers’ families, and cited the 198 deaths of their comrades in Iraq
and Afghanistan.
聴衆は大統領が198人の犠牲者や家族への賛辞を述べた時でさえ沈黙を守った
The audience’s reaction was so flat that the president tried twice to
elicit a reaction from the crowd.“Hey, I hear you,” he said amid silence.
聴衆の反応が、あまりにも少ないために大統領は“Hey, I hear you,”と呼びか
けて聴衆のリアクションを引き出そうと試みた
The selected soldiers who were arrayed behind the president sat quietly
throughout the speech. CNN and MSNBC ended their coverage of the speech
before it was half-over.
