　　“Are you glad you won’t have to campaign again?” she asked Obama. “You don’t seem to enjoy it.”“For a guy who doesn’t like it,” Obama replied tartly, “I’ve done pretty well.”“Well,” Bill said, adding his two cents, “I was glad to pitch in and help get you re-elected.”There was another long pause. Finally, Obama turned to Bill and said, sotto voce, “Thanks.”

　　于是，希拉里决定为丈夫解围。“不用再参加竞选了，你很高兴吧?”希拉里问奥巴马，“看上去你并不喜欢竞选。”“对于一个不喜欢竞选的人来说，”奥巴马毫不客气地回应说，“我做得很棒了。”“不错，” 克林顿也不相让，“我很乐意帮助你再次当选。”这时出现了一段长时间的沉默，最后，奥巴马转向克林顿，低声说了句“谢谢啊。”

　　After the dinner, and once the Clintons had been ushered out of the family quarters, Obama shook his head and said, “That’s why I never invite that guy over.”

　　用餐完毕，终于把克林顿夫妇“扫地出门”了，奥巴马摇了摇头，说了一句：“这就是为什么我从不邀请这家伙的原因。”

　　Obama’s mini-me

　　“他在寻找迷你版的奥巴马”

　　Lately, Bill Clinton has become convinced that Obama won’t endorse Hillary in 2016. During a gathering at Whitehaven, guests overheard Bill talking to his daughter Chelsea about whether the president would back Joe Biden.

　　不久前，克林顿终于开始相信奥巴马不会在2016年总统大选中支持希拉里。在一次聚会上，有人听见克林顿和他的女儿切尔西聊起此事。

　　“Recently, I’ve been hearing a different scenario from state committeemen,” Clinton said. “They say he’s looking for a candidate who’s just like him. Someone relatively unknown. Someone with a fresh face.

　　“最近，不少国会议员告诉我，奥巴马正在寻找一位跟他相似的候选人，某个知名度不那么高的新鲜面孔。”克林顿认为，这个人有可能是现任副总统拜登。

　　“He’s convinced himself he’s been a brilliant president, and wants to clone himself — to find his Mini-Me.

　　“奥巴马自认为是位杰出的总统，所以想克隆自己。”克林顿说，“他相信美国人民不愿投票给政坛老手，他说我和你的妈妈都‘活在20世纪(已经过时了)’，他在寻找一个迷你版的贝拉克•奥巴马。”
