So,we've already illustrated that

我刚才说过了
they're not particularly close to the center.

他们未必都集中在中间立场上
Let's illustrate what I meant by

我来解释一下为什么我说
somebody on the left causing the right wing to win.

左派有新候选人加入导致右派胜利
So, if this was the election,

假如这是一次选举
here we are getting closer and closer to the election,

而且在已经临近大选的时候
and suddenly one of our left-wing guys,

突然有一个左派分子比如说是
so Dennis Kucinich or something decides to enter,

丹尼斯·库西尼奇宣布要参加竞选
so let's suppose this is Dennis Kucinich and he enters.

就假设丹尼斯·库西尼奇宣布参选吧
If Dennis Kucinich, our left-wing guy enters,

如果左派候选人丹尼斯·库西尼奇参选
there might be some sort of moral victory in entering,

他参选可能能给自己带来精神上的胜利
but the result of this will be that our right-wing candidate wins

但是却导致了右派候选人胜出
