#一分鐘聽力 2016美國總統大選辯論 第一場 Part 1
2016 First Presidential Debate - Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump (1-8)
(這一篇很新鮮，網上還沒有中文版和英文字幕)
美國總統大選第一次辯論結束，全長90分，很簡單的英文
但是，英文最精采的不是Hillary，更不是Trump，而是主持人，NBC夜間新聞主播Lester Holt
對新聞英語有興趣的朋友，可以參考這一篇，這一篇分兩部分，Lester對現場觀眾講話，第二部分是Lester對電視觀眾講話，前面是生活用語，後面是新聞用語
另外，因為來自不同的麥克風，聲音前後不一致，下一篇正式辯論時會修正

Nice to see every seat is filled with some questions whether we have enough interest for tonight, but I guess we've taken care of that.
Mrs. Trump. President Clinton good to see you. Good to see everyone, that… thought you heard backstage was a sound of my knees buckling when Frank mention of potential audience of a hundred million, but it's just us tonight.
And in a moment we'll just be the three of us and hopefully just the two of them.
That’s what it's all about
【2】
As you can imagine this is not an easy job, so I'm gonna ask your help tonight.
You heard the admonition if you could please refrain from clapping and booing or reacting and any audible way that would make my job a lot easier.
And I know the American public would appreciate it because we really want to hear what they have to say tonight.
And I'm happy to be the one facilitating that conversation.
【3】
So what's gonna follow or some awkward moments of silence, I'm going to take my seat here in my office for the evening.
And I'll give you a one-minute warning when we're about to come up on the air.
And then no fancy lights or musical opens.
We just go to it.
So thank you for being here. I hope you enjoy the debate.

Good evening from Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York.
I'm Lester Holt, anchor of "NBC Nightly News.“
I want to welcome you to the first presidential debate.
The participants tonight are Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
This debate is sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization.
The commission drafted tonight's format, and the rules have been agreed to by the campaigns.
【5】
The 90-minute debate is divided into six segments, each 15 minutes long.
We'll explore three topic areas tonight: Achieving prosperity, America's direction, and securing America.
At the start of each segment, I will ask the same lead-off question to both candidates, and they will each have up to two minutes to respond.
From that point until the end of the segment, we'll have an open discussion.
The questions are mine and have not been shared with the commission or the campaigns.
【6】
The audience here in the room has agreed to remain silent so that we can focus on what the candidates are saying.
I will invite you to applaud, however, at this moment, as we welcome the candidates:
Democratic nominee for president of the United States, Hillary Clinton, and Republican nominee for president of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
Well, I don't expect us to cover all the issues of this campaign tonight, but I remind everyone, there are two more presidential debate scheduled.
【7】
We are going to focus on many of the issues that voters tell us are most important, and we're going to press for specifics.
I am honored to have this role, but this evening belongs to the candidates and, just as important, to the American people.
Candidates, we look forward to hearing you articulate your policies in your positions, as well as your visions and your values.
So let's begin.
We're calling this opening segment "Achieving Prosperity“, and central to that is jobs.
【8】
There are two economic realities in America today.
There's been a record six straight years of job growth, and census numbers show incomes have increased at a record rate after years of stagnation.
However, income inequality remains significant, and nearly half of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
Beginning with you, Secretary Clinton, why are you a better choice than your opponent to create the kinds of jobs that will put more money into the pockets of American workers?
