The Application of Daydream Tactics and Its Levels in Modern Chinese Novels

中国现代小说中白日梦手法的运用及其层次

||The Democrats’ footsoldiers can ill afford to daydream in 2014.|| Even as digital technology transforms elections, recent research shows that flesh-and-blood volunteers tend to trump paid advertising. Candidates need supporters to sway their friends and neighbours. This “ground war” is most crucial, for both sides, in the half-dozen swing states where Senate races could go either way. The trouble is, these states are quite conservative. So the Democrats running for office there often have views on guns, coal or fracking that appal progressives, who are therefore reluctant to knock on doors for them.

||1:民主党派没有在2014年做白日梦的资本，最近调查显示，即使在电子科技引领大选变革的今天，这些有血有肉的志愿者仍出资在广告上浓墨重彩，竞选者需要支持者说服他们的邻居朋友。||||2:这场“地面战”对于双方尤其重要，因为6个摇摆州的竞选走势难以预测。||3:问题是，这些州趋于保守，而民主党人通常在枪支，煤，水力压裂法等进步问题上持有一家之言，很难打开这些州选民的心扉。

||1:Hillary Clinton will dominate her party’s presidential primary if and when she says she is running.||2:At the moment, she is a spectral presence—freezing the 2016 contest without offering leadership.||3:If she does not run, it is not obvious who could replace her.||4:Some like to daydream about Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Wall Street-bashing populist who is to the left of centre in her home state, Massachusetts, which is in turn to the left of centre of America as a whole.||5:Ms Warren says she is not running for president (she favours the present tense), which makes her more sensible than her supporters: as a matter of cold electoral maths, she cannot win a nationwide contest.

||1:如果希拉里·克林顿表明要参与党内总统初选，那么她将主宰竞选。||2:目前，她是一种幽灵式的存在—没提供领导能力就定格了2016的竞选。||3:如果她不参与竞选，没人知道谁能取代她。||4:有人幻想会是参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）。她是抨击华尔街的民粹主义者，立场属于中间偏左，她的家乡马萨诸塞州正整体向中间偏左转变。||5:沃伦说她并未参加总统竞选（她喜欢用现在时时态），这使她比她的支持者更加明智：根据糟糕的选举数据，她不可能赢得全国范围内的竞选。

||1:He did not get up each morning with the thought of winning.||2:He did not think of winning at all.||3:His manager complained that he was always in a daydream , and it was true.||4:Everything that was happening to him was marvelous enough.||5:His memoir was called “La gloire sans maillot jaune”, glory without the jersey, which in the end he didn’t need.||6:Eight times he had got within touching distance, and lost them all.

||1:他每天不是带着获胜的想法起床的。||2:他就没想过赢这回事儿。||3:他的经理一职抱怨他总是做白日梦，而且这是真的。||4:发生在他身上的事情已经足够神奇了。||5:他的回忆录名为《没有黄色领骑衫的荣耀》，没有这件球衣的荣耀，最后他也不需要了。||6:八次比赛中他都对第一名触手可得，却都没拿到。

Ms Warren’s warm-up act was Gary Peters, a local congressman who, unlike Ms Warren, is running for election this year. Mr Peters, a moderate ex-banker, is trying to win a Senate seat that Democrats desperately need to win but might not. He could use some grassroots support, but the crowd barely noticed him. They were too happy chanting “Run Liz, Run!” or waving “Elizabeth Warren for President” boater-style hats (“they’re fun, they’re old-timey,” said a hipster handing them out). Ms Warren says she is not running for the White House. No matter.|| Some 100 days from an election that could condemn Mr Obama to near-impotence, some progressives prefer to daydream about President Warren, “who won’t stand for all the Wall Street bullshit”, to quote a new (endearingly terrible) folk song by her supporters.||

1:沃伦小试牛刀的对手是加里比德斯，与沃伦不同，这位地区议员今年参加选举，他是一位温和的前银行家，尝试赢得一个民主党亟需的席位但可能不会成功。||2:他能依赖一些草根阶层的支持，但基本为大众所忽视。||3:他们乐意高呼:冲吧，利兹，向前冲！或者挥舞着硬草帽，上面标着“伊丽莎白沃伦竞选总统”的字样，（一个赶时髦的人说“这种复古的帽子十分有趣”）||4:沃伦说她不打算竞争入驻白宫，这并无大碍。||5:距离100天的中期选举，足以将奥巴马贬到一文不值，一些进步人士梦想着总统沃伦，她的支持者在新的民谣中唱道“她不会支持华尔街的所有扯谈。”
