他們太過份了
他們只是很氣
Are they blaming the president for global warming?
溫室效應他們也怪總統嗎？

They want a 20% reduction in fossil fuel emissions.
- It won't pass at 20%. - Well, we haven't really tried.
20%的法案不會通過
我們從沒試過
汽車三鉅子影響力太大
McSorley, McClusky and Shane hold too many markers.
If we try to push this through and lose, there will be a very loud thud...
法案不通過我們會顏面盡失
and that's not what you want in an election year.
對選情非常不利
Talk to the G. D. C. Again.
告訴全球環保委員會
Tell them the president resents the implication...
總統絕對不會背棄環保份子
he's turned his back on the environment.
我會提出法案要求減低10%
I'll send 455 to the floor, but I'll ask for a 10% reduction.
If they want to pull their support, fine.
他們不支持就拉倒
With a 63% job approval rating, I don't need their help to get a bill passed.
有63%的民意滿意我的執政
法案會通過的
很好

今天有63%的註冊選民支持我
63% of registered voters think we're doing a good job.
Wait a second. You wanted me to poll registered voters?
你要我也調查註冊選民？
The poll also tells us what we already know.
調查結果也顯示
If we don't get our crime bill through Congress...
反犯罪法案不過 這將成歷史
those numbers are gonna be a memory.
So starting today, we're shifting it into gear.
從今天起全力推動此法案
Can I tell my morning press gaggle that gun control...
可以發表管制槍械…
" Crime control, " Robin. " Gun control " means we're soft on crime.
控制犯罪
管制槍械表示執法鬆懈
Well, hang on. Are we not putting back the handgun restrictions?
等等 拜託
手槍管制不包括在內？
No, we're leaving them out.
法案裡不包括這點
Mr. President, we campaigned on this issue.
總統先生 那是你的競選重點
We took them out when we were in the 40s, but we could push it through now.
現在支持率高升 可以繼續推動
After the elections, Lewis.
等選舉結束再說
We may never have an opportunity like this again.
這個機會難逢
Sir, let's take this 63% out for a spin. Let's see what it could do.
好好利用63%的民意基礎
We can't take it out for a spin. We need it to get reelected.
不行，這是用來獲得連任
For reasons I don't understand, people do not relate guns to gun-related crime.
不知怎地
民眾不把槍和犯罪畫上等號

我知道石油會引起全球升溫
that burning fossil fuels is what's mostly responsible for global warming...
and that the recommended 20% reduction is a necessary first step...
而我們要求減低 20%燃料廢氣
是抑止溫室效應的必要措施 白宮卻毫不關心
toward arresting the greenhouse effect which this administration has ignored.
- It's time for us... - The White House chief of staff...
我們該走了…
幕僚長不先把壞消息說出來 今天決不會讓我們走
will not let us leave here until he's broken the bad news.
I'm afraid Sydney's right, although not about Michigan and California.

The president's dreaming, A. J. He has critically misjudged reality.
總統在作夢
總統完全錯估現實狀況
If he honestly thinks the environmental community is going to whistle happily...

可以，總統先生
你進過橢圓形辦公室嗎？
I've just been on the regular tour. It didn't include...
我只參觀過白宮，不包括…
- I hear it's pretty good. - Mr. President...
聽說挺不錯
我只是想在輕視我的同事 面前爭一口氣
what you saw in there was just vanity run amuck.
I was showing off for a colleague who doesn't think very much of me.
It would be an injustice to hold the G. D. C. Accountable for my behavior.
因為我的行為怪罪全球環保 非常不公平
On top of which, I am monumentally sorry for having insulted you like that.
我也為我的失言 感到萬分抱歉
- Do you think I'm mad at you? - Well...
你覺得我很氣你嗎？
我…
每天都有人燒我的芻像
Seldom does a day go by when I'm not burned in effigy.
Not by a professional political operative 30 feet from the Oval Office!
沒有人敢在白宮裡痛駡總統
I'll grant you that.
那倒也是
Did you know when the city planners sat down to design Washington, D. C...
當初華府在做都市規劃時
their intention was to build a city that would intimidate foreign leaders?
就故意要對國外元首造成壓力
- It's true. - I didn't know that.
是真的
我不曉得
The White House is the single greatest home-court advantage in the world.
白宮在政治角力中 占絕對優勢
I learned that one the hard way.
我學到了教訓
Sydney, this bill is important to me.
這項法案對我很重要
Yes, sir. I'll convey your message.
我瞭解，我會轉達的
- But you don't believe me. - The G. D. C. Is asking for 20%, sir.
不過你不相信我
我們要求減低20%
It's not gonna pass at 20%. It's a long shot at ten.
國會決不會通過 10%都很難
How do you know until you put the weight of the White House behind it?
白宮不全力支持又怎能確定
Sydney, at 20%, we're 34 votes shy in the House.
20%的法案在 眾議院還缺34票
It can't be done.
But I'll tell you what.
不過這樣好了
I'll make you a deal.

那兩百對眼睛不是看著我
They're focused on you.
而是看著你
And the answers are... Sydney Ellen Wade, because she said yes.

But the more important question is, why aren't you, Bob?
更重要的是 魯森為何不是？
Now, this is an organization...
這組織以 維護權利典章為目標

So it begs the question:
這位參議員、共和黨領袖 以及總統候選人
Why would a senator... his party's most powerful spokesman...
and a candidate for president... choose to reject upholding the Constitution?
為何拒絕維護美國憲法？
If you can answer that question, you're smarter than I am...

她的象微就不該只是面國旗
The symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right...
她的象徵應該是讓國民
有在示威中燃燒國旗的權利

I've known Bob Rumson for years, and I've operated under the assumption...
我認識魯森多年
他老是搖旗呐喊，徒勞無功
that the reason Bob devotes so much energy to shouting at the rain...
was that he simply didn't get it.

不，他不是不清楚狀況
Well, I was wrong. Bob's problem isn't that he doesn't get it.
Bob's problem is that he can't sell it.
他只是無法說服別人
We have serious problems to solve...
我們的問題很多
and we need serious people to solve them.

represent the interests of public school teachers...
為自然資源遊說
and lobby for the safety of our natural resources.
你想爭論人格還是找我吧
You want a character debate, Bob, you better stick with me.
'Cause Sydney Ellen Wade is way out of your league.
因為你遠比不上魏欣妮
