Meanwhile, newspapers and TV are filled with negative advertising in which candidates sling mud at one another. These ads are giving voters the impression that the nation's future leaders are all "bad apples." This not only marks the deterioration of electoral culture, but also is a serious blow to morale in the nation and society.
除了攻訐對手的操守外，報紙、電視上也充斥著「口水戰」式的廣告，標榜自己，互揭瘡疤，讓選民覺得國家未來的領導人都是一堆「爛蘋果」，不但選舉文化益形惡質，對整個國家社會的民心士氣都是一種打擊，影響難以估計。
