美国大选如火如荼，奥巴马和罗姆尼竞争激烈，最终奥巴马技胜一筹，再次当选。这次美国大选可不一般，把4岁的小萝莉都惹哭了，这是为什么呢?我们去看看吧。北京新航道托福频道为大家提供托福阅读，帮助大家备考。

　　A 4-year-old Fort Collins girl expressed her frustration over the seemingly never-ending presidential campaign.

　　2012美国总统大选的竞选活动铺天盖地似乎永无止境，来自科罗拉多州北部城市科林斯堡的这个四岁小姑娘真的要崩溃了。

　　Elizabeth Evans posted this video yesterday to her YouTube account after her little girl heard "one too many mentions of the election," Evans describes on her YouTube page.

　　小姑娘的母亲伊丽莎白·埃文斯昨日上传了一个视频到YouTube上，埃文斯描述视频是“她的小女儿在听到总统大选新闻后的反应”。

　　Evans told 9NEWS that she and her daughter were listening to NPR on a trip to thegrocery store Tuesday when Abigael starting tearing up.

　　埃文斯对9NEWS新闻网站表示，视频拍摄自周二她和女儿去杂货店的路上，当时他们正在听公共广播频道的报道，然后阿比吉尔就开始大哭。

　　The mother asked Abigael why she was crying and she responded, "I'm tired of Bronco Bamma and Mitt Romney."

　　当妈妈问她为什么哭的时候，阿比吉尔回答到：“我受够了奥巴马和罗姆尼啦!”(这里将奥巴马的名字念错了...)

　　"That's why you're crying?" Elizabeth asked, and Abigael nodded and started to cry and cough. "It'll be over soon, Abby," Evans says. "The election will be over soon, okay?"

　　埃文斯问女儿：“你就是因为这个哭啊?” 小姑娘点着头边哭边咳嗽。埃文斯只好安慰女儿：“大选马上就结束了，马上就结束了，乖啊艾比!”来源：北京新航道托福培训

　　Abigael then tried to get a hold of herself and responded to her mother with a tearful, "Okay." Elizabeth said on the way back from the store she switched the radio from NPR to Neil Young.

　　小姑娘努力克制住了自己的情绪，带着哭腔的回答母亲：“好吧...” 埃文斯后来表示在从商店返家的途中，她从公共广播频道调到了Neil Young 音乐节目。

　　【新闻后续】NPR正式向阿比吉尔道歉

　　NPR apologized on Wednesday to 4-year-old Abigael Evans, after learning that one of their reports on the 2012 election drove little Abigael to tears.

　　在得知关于2012总统大选的报道让小姑娘阿比吉尔大哭的事情后，美国公共广播频道周三正式向四岁的阿比吉尔·埃文斯致歉。

　　On behalf of NPR and all other news outlets, NPR wrote in a blog post:

　　公共广播频道在发表的博文中写道：仅代表公共广播频道和其他所有的新闻报道机构：

　　we apologize to Abigael and all the many others who probably feel like her. We must confess, the campaign's gone on long enough for us, too. Let's just keep telling ourselves: "Only a few more days, only a few more days, only a few more days."

　　我们向艾比吉尔和其他所有和她同样感受的人们致歉。我们必须承认，这场竞选活动太漫长了，我们也快要受够了。让我们给自己打气鼓劲下：“再几天就好了，再过几天就结束了，再几天就行了。”
