In fact, the phrase “Anglo-Saxon” is not often heard any more in the US, where the majority of the population has not been of Anglo-Saxon origin for a long time (which is also true of Britain’s largest cities). When Americans use the term, it is usually to differentiate white Americans from the rest, which is not something that most Americans, least of all presidential candidates, would now choose to do in public.
其实，“盎格鲁－萨克逊”这个短语在美国已很少听到，很久以前美国的大部分人就已经不再有盎格鲁－萨克逊血统了（英国大城市也同样如此）。美国人使用这个短语通常是为了区分白种美国人，这可不是多数美国人，尤其是总统候选人，愿意公开做的事。
