"I'm a moderate candidate, I'm at position 5"

我是个中立的候选人我的立场是5
but you might not believe him or her.

但你不一定就相信他/她的说法
You've got the candidates track record,

你可能掌握着候选人的记录
unless that candidate can commit to policies at position 5,

尽管那个候选人声称自己的立场是5
you might know full well that

你心里很清楚
the candidate is in fact a position 10 or a position 1 candidate,

那个候选人的立场实际上是1或10
is that right?

对吗
So unless the candidate can actually commit to a position,

因此除非候选人能保证坚定一个立场
there may be a problem in them simply announcing,

否则他们轻易宣称自己是中间立场
"my position is moderate."

反而将会带来麻烦
So again, let's think of an example here,

接下来我们再来分析一个案例
a couple of examples, in the Bush Gore election,

就是布什跟戈尔竞选总统的案例
