As a result, the campaign was quiet, almost cautious. Indeed, most candidates, notably Sarkozy and Hollande, might have been too cautious: the current crisis and possible future threats received little emphasis, which means that it may be difficult for Hollande to claim a mandate for any painful reforms that he will have to propose.
于是乎，整场选举都相当平静，近乎有点小心翼翼。事实上大多数候选人，尤其是萨科齐和奥朗德，可能都有点太过谨慎了：他们都很少提及当前的危机以及未来可能出现的威胁，而这也意味着如果奥朗德必须要推动一场痛苦改革的话，可能都难以理直气壮地说自己是代表着人民的意愿行事。
