- Republicans Win Sweeping Victory in US Elections
- 美國共和黨在國會中期選舉中大勝

- 此外，共和黨在參議院的選舉中也斬獲頗豐，不過民主黨仍固守參議院的微弱多數。
- The sweeping change in the balance of power presents a strong challenge to President Obama's agenda, including a health care bill passed earlier this year against strong Republican opposition.

- 歐巴馬總統最強大的盟友之一、參議院多數黨領袖、內華達州的民主黨人里德在共和黨候選人安格爾強有力的挑戰下，僥倖過關；安格爾得到了有影響的、保守的茶黨運動的支援。

- 美聯儲主席伯南克提倡這個計劃，做為給企業和消費者借貸所支付的長期利息施加下行壓力的一個途徑。
- That could make it easier for consumers to increase spending, and for businesses to hire more workers at a time when nearly one of every 10 U.S. workers is unemployed.
- 在將近每 10 個美國工作者中就有一個人失業的情況下，這個計劃會使消費者更容易增加支出，也使得企業更容易雇用更多的工人。
