同样,当奥巴马表示他可以接受通过一套降低社保受惠者生活费增幅的公式减少福利支出的方案时,他也是在开启先例。他等于是在说,民主党人愿意考虑不仅通过控制成本、还通过减少领取人福利的办法减少福利支出的政策。
Similarly, both sides have a sense that the current talks are establishing something broader on another front: The debate is going to help set the tone for the entire second Obama term.
同样,双方都觉得目前的谈判在另外一个方面树立了某种东西:这次辩论将从一个方面奠定奥巴马整个第二任期的基调。
Democrats fear that if the president gives too much ground now, he will establish a pattern in which both parties will enter future debates expecting him to give in to Republican intransigence.
民主党人担心,如果奥巴马现在让步过多,他将树立一种模式,在将来的辩论中,两党都会指望他向共和党人的固执屈服。
By the same token, Republican partisans think the GOP needs to establish now that their party's control of the House, amid Democratic control of the Senate and the White House, is enough to give the party significant leverage for the next couple of years.
同理,共和党人也认为他们的政党现在需要表明,在民主党控制参议院和白宫之际,共和党对众议院的控制足以使它在未来几年拥有较大的筹码。
