The Mayoral Campaign

阿若悠的市长竞选

Spanish Harlem’s political gamble

Carlos Arroyo is running for mayor of New York, and Ivy is his most devoted follower, sparing no effort as she raises money and canvasses for votes all over town.

She even went to Lady Geist, the woman behind the Geist Foundation, to ask her to donate to the campaign.

“Lady Geist, I was wondering: would you be willing to donate to Carlos Arroyo's campaign?”

“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?”TL

— Ivy, to Lady Geist

Lady Geist has never had any interest in investing in politicians. Ivy also hoped to hold a fundraiser at the hotel, but the Doorman turned her away: the hotel must be above politics and will host no campaign fundraisers, though a conversation can be had about community efforts.

“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.”

“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”

— The Doorman, to Ivy

The sharpest criticism comes from Billy, who insists that Arroyo used her to increase the property value of Spanish Harlem, and is now using her to sit in the mayor’s mansion.

“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.”

“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”

— Billy, to Ivy

Even when they come to blows, Infernus makes no secret that Carlos still has his vote for mayor.

“If it makes you feel better, Carlos still has my vote for mayor.”

“如果这能让你感觉好些,我仍然会投票给卡洛斯竞选市长”

— Infernus, to Ivy
