英语咬文嚼字 The Crazy Logophile
今天NBC新闻刊登了其记者Alex Seitz-Wald 写的报道，标题为“Sen. Susan Collins is an endangered Republican. Impeachment could make her more so. ”。文章中有几处用词亮点。
苏珊·科林斯 （ Susan Collins ）是美国缅因州的共和党参议员。 1996 年参选联邦参议员获得成功，并连任至今。 缅因州支持民主党的选民居多，但参议院的席位却由共和党控制。
———————————————— 文章中， 记者Alex Seitz-Wald强调苏珊·科林斯这次就特朗普弹劾的问题上迟迟不表态会让她面临很多危机。记者在这里使用 on the fence 这一习语很好表达了 苏珊·科林斯骑墙观望，犹豫不决的态度。
on the fence to delay making a decision 骑墙观望，犹豫不决
原文如下： But on-the-fence is an increasingly difficult position to maintain and recent polls show her once sky-high favorability ratings have fallen back to earth — and a potential vote on removing Trump would force Collins to pick a side.
缅因州的共和党选民对苏珊·科林斯就总统弹劾一事骑墙观望很不满意，该报道提到有位共和党选民Mike Hoyle 对是否再给她投票也开始犹豫不决了，记者也使用了 on the fence。
原文如下： "I'm kind of on the fence about Susan Collins," added Hoyle, who voted for Collins in 2014. "A lot of Republicans feel she's not really a Republican."

—————————————— 文章中，还使用了一个俚语：press the flesh

Citation Donald Trump is a classic gaslighter
in an abusive relationship with America. Gaslighting is outrageous
behavior from anyone, let alone a U.S. president. Don't get confused,
don't get exhausted, and don't stop fighting back.
The United States is in an abusive relationship with the
president. As a therapist in clinical practice, I’m trained to spot the
signs and offer strategies to help people cope. Abusive relationships
are extremely dangerous, and this is no exception. Donald Trump’s gaslighting has led the country into a spiral of doubt, anger and despair.
Gaslighting behavior has always been present in history, to a degree. It is par for the course whenever a person or entity wants to exert as much control as possible over others. But we haven’t seen this level of gaslighting since the Axis powers of World War II. ( usatoday.com )
