从此端到彼端

IN THE aftermath of the massacre at Virginia Tech university on April 16th, as the nation mourned a fresh springtime crop of young lives cut short by a psychopath’s bullets, President George Bush and those vying for his job offered their prayers and condolences. They spoke eloquently of their shock and sadness and horror at the tragedy (see article). The Democratic speaker of the House of Representatives called for a “moment of silence”. Only two candidates said anything about guns, and that was to support the right to have them.

大意是Virginia Tech枪击案发生后，总统布什和那些觊觎他职位的候选人们都变现出了哀悼之情，他们义正严词的表达他们的震惊、悲痛和恐惧。但只有两个候选人提起了枪支问题，并且都是支持公民有拥有枪支的权利。
