NEW YORK – American elections usually produce a brief euphoria; the public sense of renewal, of future possibilities, acts as a shot of adrenaline. This year, however, the palpable relief and celebration will be tempered by the widely shared sense that all is not well in America.
纽约——美国大选总能创造出一种短暂的欣快情绪，一种公众新鲜感、一种对未来机会的期盼，作用有点类似于注射肾上腺素。可是今年，人们所能感受到的轻松和祝贺将不再那么强烈，因为人们普遍认为美国的各个领域都出现了问题。
