cnn英语听力2012年01月合辑（文本+翻译）：20120109last week an entire day vanished somewhere out in the pacific ocean. youre going to find out why in the next 10 minutes. im carl azuz, this is cnn student news, the iowa caucuses, the big u.s. political story this week, yesterday, republican presidential candidates made their final push for support.he was going to get everyone back to work. he was going to repair the nation and repair the world. extraordinary promises - but theres a huge gap between the promise and the delivery.at the election level, i think im the only person who can take on obamas billion-dollar campaign and defeat him head-to-head in debates in a decisive way.this election is about stopping a president of the united states and his administration that is abusing the constitution of this country, that is putting america on a track to bankruptcy. and, folks, we are going to take america back.what i want to do, too, is bring down the price of a gallon of gas. gasoline was $1.79 a gallon the day that barack obama became president. we can get it back to that again because the united states is the number one energy resource-rich nation in the world.if liberty is the most important issue, the most important responsibility of government is to protect liberty, and not to be the policeman of the world and not to have a runaway welfare state.this president is the most dangerous commander in chief weve seen since jimmy carter. and thats why this election is not just about the economy. it is about the security of our country, and we need a leader who understands how to make that security for each and every one of you.all right. thats what the republican candidates were doing yesterday. but what about the voters? what happened when they gathered for those caucuses? tom foreman explains how this process works in iowa.when the democrats do it, there is debate, horse trading, a real raucous caucus. but the republican caucuses all around the state are much more low-key.step one, show up. any voter can take part as long as he or she is already a registered republican or willing to become one at the door.step two, listen up. after the pledge of allegiance, caucusgoers hear speeches from people representing the candidates. they can be from in- state or out, big names or small town folks. they make a quick pitch for their pick.step three, mark it up. pieces of paper are passed out, attendees write down a candidates name and the ballots are collected. it is more or less a secret vote, depending on the formality of that caucus site.and step four, count them up. the votes are added and a winner is declared.thats about it. delegates to the national convention will be chosen later, and theyre not bound to the results of the caucus. so its really more like a high-powered poll. and yet many political analysts say it really does matter.because candidates who finish at or near the top are often given credit for having stronger organizations, more solid core support and better chances at winning in other states down the line - tom foreman, cnn, washington.well, as you can see, it is a busy newsroom behind me. and when we recorded todays show, the iowa caucus results hadnt come in yet. to get them, go to , check out the spotlight section and click on cnn election center. thats where you can see the results, find out how the candidates did, and youll hear us discuss that tomorrow on cnn student news.上周在太平洋失踪了一整天,而你会在接下来的10分钟找到理由。我是卡尔?阿祖兹,这里是cnn学生新闻,爱荷华州的党内预选是本周美国的政治大事件,昨天共和党总统候选人最后为自己造势以赢得支持。他要让每个人都回去工作。他要去修复国家以及这个世界。的确是非凡的承诺但承诺和现实之间有巨大的落差。在选举的水平上,我认为我是唯一一位能承担奥巴马总统上亿美元竞选费用及在辩论中以决定性的方式打败他的人。选举是阻止一位美国总统,他滥用这个国家宪法的政府,这是把美国推向破产的边缘。伙计们,我们要把美国夺回来。我也想做的事,是把汽油的价格下降。奥巴马竞选成为总统那天汽油是每加仑1.79美元。我们可以让大家重新享受这个价格,因为美国是世界上能源第一丰富的国家。如果自由是最重要的问题, 政府最重要的责任是保护自由,而不是警察的世界及福利制度失去控制的国家。自从我们看到了吉米?卡特,这位总统就是最危险的总司令。这就是为什么选举不仅仅是有关经济。还关乎着这个国家的安全,我们需要一位懂得如何保障每人及你们每个人安全的领导者。好的。以上就是共和党候选人昨天所做的事情。但是选民呢?他们在党团会议聚集的时候发生了什么事呢?汤姆?弗尔曼会向你解释在爱荷华州的这一过程。当民主党进行的时候,会有争论,精明的讨价还价及一个真正刺耳的准备。但共和党团会议的选举则更为低调。第一步,登台。任何选民能参加,只要他或她是已经注册成为共和党或者等在门口愿意参加的人。第二步,聆听。在效忠誓词过后,预备者聆听代表候选人的演讲。他们要么是来自本州或其他州,要么是如雷贯耳的大名人,抑或是名不见经传的小人物。他们都有自己的选择。第三步,做标记。收到发下的纸张后,与会者写下一个候选人的名字,选票被收集起来。这或多或少是一个秘密投票,这取决于当时党团会议的礼节。第四步,期盼。唱票并宣布胜利者。就是这样了。全国大会的代表将被选中后,他们也许并不一定要按党团会议的结果。所以更像是有很多种可能的投票。而且许多政治分析家说这真的很重要。因为获得第一或接近顶峰的候选人常常拥有较强的组织、更坚实的核心支持及更好的机会,如果继续这样下去,他们在其他州也会拔得头筹。cnn新闻,汤姆?福尔曼,从华盛顿为您发回的报道。嗯,正如你所看到的,这一景象是我身后繁忙的新闻工作室。当我们录制今天的节目时,爱荷华州党团选举结果还没有最终浮出水面。你可以到这个网站访问“焦点”栏目,并点击“cnn选举中心”,你就可以看到结果,至于候选人是如何做到的, 在明天cnn学生新闻你就会听到我们的深度分析。1. caucuses n. 干部会议mr brahimis report confirmed that the us plan for regional caucuses to select a national assembly for july the first had little support in iraq. 布莱尼的报告确认美国在7月1日举行的国民大会的计划在伊拉克应者渺渺。2. debate n. 辩论, 讨论after a long debate, the house of commons approved the bill.经过长时间的辩论，下议院通过了议案。3. bankruptcy n. 破产, 倒闭the bank of bankruptcy is investigated by the cour
