1:On April 21st Mr Hatch survived the test that undid Mr Bennett: he won a ballot for the nomination at the state’s Republican convention.2:Thanks to the local party’s complicated electoral procedures, he still has to face a tea-party-backed challenger in a primary, to be held in June.3:It is slightly awkward to be running for a seventh term considering that during his first campaign he denounced his opponent’s three terms as too many.4:But he has reason to be confident: he came within a whisker of avoiding the primary, falling just 32 votes short of the 60% threshold required to secure the nomination at the convention.[...]115:Assuming that the primary electorate is less conservative than the diehard lot who attend the convention, and given that Mr Hatch has the edge in fund-raising, he should prevail in the primary too.6:And what with Utah’s strongly Republican slant, winning the primary more or less guarantees re-election in November.

1:4月21日，哈奇没有在本内特倒下的地方摔跟头：他在州共和党会议的提名投票里赢了。2:由于该州选举程序复杂，他仍然要在将于六月举行的初选中与茶党人士苦战一番。3:对他来说，竞逐第七个任期有点尴尬——当初他初出茅庐时，曾经批评对手三任就已经太多了。4:不过他应该自信满满：他只差32票就可以拿到60%选票，可以直接赢得提名。[...]115:根据经验推断，初选的选民没有参与党内会议的死忠分子那么保守，加上哈奇在筹款上拥有优势，他在初选中理应取胜。6:而又由于犹他州十分青睐共和党，赢得初选或多或少就等同于在十一月的大选中胜出，顺利连任了。

1: That does not mean, however, that the tea party is winning the war even if it has lost a few battles. [...]112: For one thing, even in the giddy days of 2010, the general electorate deemed several of its candidates beyond the pale. 3: And Mr Hatch, for all his conservative bona fides (he has introduced bills in the Senate to amend the constitution to require balanced budgets four times over the years), worked happily with no less a leftie than Edward Kennedy to bring in children’s health insurance and the Americans with Disabilities Act. 4: He voted, too, for TARP, a bill called for by George W. Bush that bailed out banks when the entire financial system seemed on the verge of collapse—as 90 other Republicans did. 5: In short, he is willing to embrace the odd political compromise, which is exactly what the tea party holds against him.

1:然而，这并不能说明茶党失之东隅，收之桑榆。[...]112:比如说，即使是在2010年那些光彩夺目的日子里，普罗大众似乎也觉得他们的几名候选人很不靠谱。3:虽然说哈奇是保守到了骨子里（他在任期间曾经四次提出平衡预算修正案），他仍然曾于爱德华-肯尼迪这样的左翼分子愉快合作，促成了儿童健康保险以及美国残疾人法案。4:他也对《问题资产纾困法案》投了赞成票。该法案在小布什总统呼吁下通过，紧急援助了银行业以及整个处于崩溃边缘的金融系统。和哈奇一样投赞成票的还有另外90名共和党人。5:用一句话总结，他愿意达成临时的政治妥协，这也正是茶党看他不爽的原因。
