来自《耶鲁大学开放课程：欧洲文明第14集》

and this is all in the book so don't worry about this,

别担心这些在你们的课本里都有
but a lot of them say,

他们说
"Look, if we don't run candidates and elections,

如果我们不推选候选人进行选举
how are they going to know about us?"

民众怎么能了解我们呢
So, they, too, would run candidates and elections.

因此他们也推选候选人进行选举
So, they're put at really kind of crux.

接着他们面临着一个难题
They're really sort of stuck between a rock and a hard place,

确实有些进退两难
because they're running candidates in elections

因为他们甚至自己
in which they do not believe.

都不信任所进行的选举
I'm not here talking about Russia,

我不是在说俄国
because that is more complicated with the Bolsheviks,

因为俄国的布尔什维克党的情况更加复杂
and the Mensheviks, and the socialist revolutionaries,

同样复杂的还有孟什维克和社会主义革命
