阿若悠的市长竞选
The Mayoral Campaign
东哈勒姆的政治赌注
卡洛斯·阿若悠角逐纽约市长之位，青藤是他最热心的追随者，四处募款、拉票，不遗余力。
她甚至登门向盖斯特基金会背后的盖斯特夫人开口，请她为竞选捐款。
“盖斯特夫人，我想问问：您愿意为卡洛斯·阿若悠的竞选捐款吗？”译
“Lady Geist, I was wondering: would you be willing to donate to Carlos Arroyo's campaign?”
盖斯特夫人对政客向来不抱投资的兴趣。她也想借办一场筹款，却被门侍挡了回来：酒店须超然于政治之外，竞选筹款一概不接，社区事业则尚可商量。
“那要看这次筹款活动的性质了。巴隆妮斯必须超脱于政治之外。所以如果这是为阿若悠先生的市长竞选筹款，我不能帮你。但如果是关于他的社区事务，我们倒可以谈谈”
“That would depend on the nature of the fundraiser. The Baroness must be above politics. So if this is to raise money for Mr. Arroyo's mayoral campaign, I cannot help you. If it is about his community efforts, a conversation can be had.”
最尖刻的批评来自比利，他断言阿若悠先前借她抬高了东哈勒姆的房价，如今又要借她登上市长官邸。
“是啊是啊，我们都知道那个荒唐的故事。女士，他利用你提升了东哈勒姆的房价，现在又利用你坐上了市长官邸”
“Yeah yeah we all know the stupid story. Lady, he used you to increase the property value of Spanish Harlem, and he's using you sit in the mayors mansion.”
即便刀兵相向，炽焱也不讳言，卡洛斯依旧是他心中的市长人选。
“如果这能让你感觉好些，我仍然会投票给卡洛斯竞选市长”
“If it makes you feel better, Carlos still has my vote for mayor.”
