New Mexicos governor
新墨西哥州州长
TORIBIO ORTEGA, who supposedly fired the firstshot in the Mexican Revolution a century ago, would have been surprised if told that adescendant of his would one day run an American state. So would Adolfo Martinez, anotherMexican revolutionary, who crossed the sparsely patrolled border into America in the 1920s. But today Susana Martinez of NewMexico, great-granddaughter of the former and granddaughter of the latter, does just that:she is Americas first Latina governor.
一般认为,是托里比奥?奥尔特加打响了一个世纪以前墨西哥革命的第一枪。这名革命者如果知道有一天他的后人会当上美国州长,一定会惊讶得目瞪口呆。要是换成阿道夫?马丁内斯,也会一样惊讶。他也是墨西哥革命者,在上个世纪二十年代穿越了防备松懈的边境进入美国。而今天,奥尔特加的曾外孙女,同时也是马丁内斯的孙女,苏珊娜?马丁内斯确实做到了:她当上了新墨西哥州州长,成为了美国历史上第一位拉丁裔女州长。
Her Democratic predecessor, Bill Richardson, is of Mexican descent on his mothers side. AndBrian Sandoval in Nevada is both Latino and Republican. But Ms Martinez is the only governorwho is simultaneously Hispanic, female and Republican. As such, she seems well on the way toembodying the partys hoped-for future as a conservative movement that can appeal to,rather than repel, Latinos, Americas fastest-growing main ethnic group.
