||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.||5: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。||5: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: The opposition is still crowing over Mr Morsi’s demise. ||2: Voices calling for the vanquishing of “terrorists”, as the fiercer foes of the Muslim Brothers like to call them, seem louder than those calling for restraint and compromise. ||3: On the other side, Mr Morsi’s diehard disciples, fearing for their survival, refuse to consider anything less than his reinstatement, which the generals now in charge are sure to dismiss out of hand. ||4: Since July 3rd Mr Morsi’s people have continued to mass in districts of eastern Cairo, where their support is strongest, to protest against the overthrow of their democratically elected president.

||1:反对派至今还在为推翻穆尔西而沾沾自喜。||2:要求消灭“恐怖分子”（这是更暴力的穆兄会反对派喜欢用的称呼）的人似乎比呼吁克制、折衷的人更多。||3:而另一边，穆尔西的铁杆支持者为了他们的存亡大计，要求穆尔西复职。若不满足这个最低条件，一切免谈。但目前的军方领导人肯定会当即拒绝。||4:自7月3日起，穆尔西的支持者就一直在开罗东部地区（他们的“大本营”）集会，抗议军方罢免他们民主选举的总统。
