【F1】
When Bush asked Cheney, the head of his vice presidential search team, to actually become his running mate, it was clear that he valued Cheney’s Washington experience above all.
"If times are good, I’m going to need your advice," Bush told Cheney, "but not nearly as much as if times are bad. Crisis management is an essential part of the job. " Cheney went on to become the most powerful vice President in history. He was, for example, "a steamroller in pushing war with Iraq as the only way to deal with Saddam Hussein," Woodward reports.
The DNC’s Dean says, "The most dreadful decision he made that hurt him the most was picking Dick Cheney as his running mate. " He adds that "Cheney became a huge influence and that led to a lot of other bad decisions. " High on Dean’s list of negatives was Cheney’s convincing Bush that " once you are elected, you can do whatever you want" regardless of the law and the Constitution, an echo of Zelizer’s analysis about the expansion of executive power.
【F2】
Dean’s assessment may be a little exaggerating, but there is no doubt that Cheney was a powerful force pushing the new president to expand his powers.
【F3】
Cheney also was a strong voice for conservative policies such as tax cuts, measures to promote business, and proposals to allow more domestic energy production.
【F4】
Bush’s defenders say Cheney was vital, especially in the early years, in guiding the new president through the puzzle of foreign policy, national security, and domestic issues.
Bush had little hands-on experience as a Washington insider. Cheney, by contrast, had been White House chief of staff under President Gerald Ford, a U. S. representative from Wyoming, and defense secretary under President George H. W. Bush. Whether Cheney was given too much power will be debated by historians for decades.
【F5】
As his days in office decrease, Bush, 62, finds himself looking ahead to retirement with mixed feelings, as most Presidents do.
He plans to write a book and run his presidential library and policy center at Southern Methodist University. But he told ABC: "I’m going to have a lot of time to think. My day is going to go from getting up early—early and being at the Oval Office at 6:45 a. m. , and having a lot to do when you get there, to waking up at 6:45 a.m. , getting Momma the coffee—and kind of wandering around trying—’What’s next, boss? ’ " His friends say his new mission is already clear. He will continue his bid to place the Bush legacy, now widely seen as unpopular and misguided, in the best possible light and to put a positive spin on all the fateful decisions he made as America’s 43 rd President.
【F4】
选项
答案
布什的支持者说,切尼是帮助新任总统走出外交政策、国家安全事务以及国内焦点这个迷宫的重要引导人,特别是在总统刚刚上台之初。
解析
这句话是个复合句,主干成分是Bush’s defenders say Cheney was vital,但翻译时如果不改变原有语序和框架进行顺译,则不符合汉语的表达习惯,所以翻译时可译成“布什的支持者说切尼是……重要引导人”的结构。另外,本句中的puzzle可译成“迷宫”,更贴切,更显生动。
