Humphrey is like I say it civil rights stalwart
汉弗莱正如我所说的，坚定地扞卫民权
Voting Rights Act being passed the south is not happy and they go for Alabama's
国会通过选举权法引发南部不满，他们转而支持阿拉巴马州的
George Wallace as an independent and you can see the far south going for Wallace
独立派人士华莱士，最南部地区支持华莱士
Humphrey getting most of the North-east, surprisingly for the day getting Texas
汉弗莱获得了大部分东北部的支持，并出乎意料地拿下了德克萨斯
but virtually nothing else and then I will conclude
但除此之外几乎没有别的支持了，那么这年的选情就讲到这
Oh 1968 you can see, you can see Wallace's support deep south not in the border states so much, certainly not in Oklahoma
噢，从这幅地图，看一下1968年支持华莱士的地区在南方腹地，但主要不在边界各州，也不在俄克拉荷马州

Again you can see the areas of the Democrats with Humphrey parts of New England
民主党的汉弗莱的支持者所在的地区——即新英格兰部分地区
the more urban parts of New England, scattered counties elsewhere still a good amount of support in Texas
城市化程度较高的新英格兰地区以及散布在其他地方的一些县在德克萨斯州也有很多的支持
And finally I'll conclude with 1972, when the Democrats go to the far left
讲完1972年的大选就结束今天的课程，1972年，民主党具有极左的倾向
McGovern was pilloried as being the candidate of "amnesty, abortion and acid LSD"
麦戈文被人嘲弄为"赞成特赦，堕胎和迷幻药"的候选人
Certainly nothing that he supported, but that's what the rumor mill viewed him as
当然他从未赞成过这些，但这就是造谣者对他的评价
so this is the campaign where the Democrats go quite far to the left
因此，民主党这场竞选中走上了极左的道路
the Republicans pushed law and order and we have an election when the Democrats are reduced to Massachusetts and the district of Columbia
共和党人则推动法律和秩序，因此，这次大选民主党的支持仅限于马萨诸塞州以及哥伦比亚地区
