特朗普抨擊墨西哥裔法官惹衆怒
The Republican party’s unease over Donald Trump as its presidential candidate broke into the open yesterday as Hillary Clinton made history by becoming the first woman to sew up the Democratic nomination.
美國共和黨對唐納德•特朗普(Donald Trump)成爲本黨總統候選人的擔憂昨日公開化，同時希拉里•克林頓(Hillary Clinton)成爲美國曆史上首位獲得民主黨總統候選人提名的女性。
Mrs Clinton’s accomplishment in securing the 2,383 delegates she needs to become her party’s candidate was overshadowed by swelling rancour within Republican ranks over Mr Trump’s attacks on a Hispanic-American judge overseeing a lawsuit against now-defunct Trump University. The billionaire businessman has accused Judge Gonzalo Curiel of being biased because of his Mexican heritage.
希拉里成功獲得了候選人提名所需的2383張選舉人票，但比這一成就更引人矚目的是，對於特朗普抨擊一名負責審理現已不再運營的“特朗普大學”(Trump University)案件的西語裔美國法官，共和黨人士紛紛表示不滿。這位億萬富翁商人指責貢薩洛•庫列爾(Gonzalo Curiel)法官因其墨西哥血統而存在偏見。
House Speaker Paul Ryan attempted to distance himself from Mr Trump, criticising the businessman’s comments in forthright terms. “Claiming a person can’t do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment,” Mr Ryan said.
衆議院議長保羅•瑞安(Paul Ryan)試圖與特朗普劃清界限，他直言不諱地批評了特朗普的言論。瑞安表示：“宣稱一個人因其種族而無法勝任工作，有些像是教科書定義的種族主義言論。”
The acrimony within the Republican camp handed further momentum to Mrs Clinton just as she was finally emerging victorious from a bruising primary campaign against Bernie Sanders, the Vermont senator, and preparing to bring her fire to bear fully on Mr Trump.
共和黨陣營內部的惡言相向爲希拉里提供了進一步的動能。希拉里恰好終於在與佛蒙特州參議員伯尼•桑德斯(Bernie Sanders)的激烈初選中勝出，準備與特朗普展開全面較量。
Mr Ryan, who endorsed Mr Trump’s candidacy only last week, said his comments about Judge Curiel were “absolutely unacceptable”.
瑞安上週剛支持特朗普競選總統。他表示，特朗普關於庫列爾的言論“完全讓人無法接受”。
More than half a dozen leading Republican figures have publicly disavowed Mr Trump’s remarks and Mr Ryan’s verdict underlined the deep concern among Republicans about the damage Mr Trump’s comments could do to their standing among the increasingly powerful Latino electorate.
至少6名共和黨大佬公開表示特朗普的言論不代表他們的立場，瑞安的聲明突顯出，在拉美裔選民影響力日益上升之際，共和黨內部對特朗普言論對該黨人氣可能造成的破壞深感憂慮。
