美国人每隔四年都要竞选一次总统（president）。根据美国宪法规定，任何出生在美国并取得美国国籍，且年龄超过四十岁的美国公民（American citizen）都可以参加总统竞选。很显然，有很多人希望当选总统的候选人（candi－dates）。美国有很多政党（political par－ties），大多数政党会推举自己的总统候选人，而只有两个政党比其它政党强大得多，一直处于老大哥的位置，这就是民主党（the Democratic Party）和共和党（the Republican Party）。所以一百多年以来，当选总统的人不是民主党人就是共和党人。
Americans run for president every four years. According to the U.S. Constitution, any American citizen born in the United States who has acquired U.S. citizenship and is over the age of forty can participate in the presidential election. Obviously, there are many people who wish to be elected presidential candidates (candi-dates). There are many political par-ties in the United States. Most political parties will elect their own presidential candidates. Only two parties are much stronger than other parties. They have been in the position of the oldest brother. This is the Democratic Party and the Democratic Party. The Republican Party. So for more than a hundred years, the people who were elected presidents were either Democrats or Republicans.
