奧巴馬:擔任總統不是電視真人秀大綱

U.S. President Barack Obama says his role in this year's election to pick his replacement is to remind Americans that the presidency is a serious job.

美國總統奧巴馬說，他在今年總統大選中的作用就是提醒美國民衆，擔任總統是一項嚴肅的工作。

"This is not reality TV," he said during an appearance on NBC's Tonight Show to be broadcast Thursday. "I've seen the decisions that have to be made and the work that has to be done, and I have a lot of confidence that if the American people are reminded of what's at stake and all the incredibly important issues that we gotta get right, that they're going to make a good choice."

奧巴馬在接受美國全國廣播公司晚間秀採訪時說，當總統不是電視真人秀，我知道需要做出什麼樣的決策，需要做哪些工作，我相信，如果讓美國人民看到利害關係，看到我們需要正確處理的重大問題，他們就會做出正確的選擇。

Obama has largely stayed out of the process thus far as voters chose nominees from his Democratic Party and the rival Republican Party. But now that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are set to face off in November, the president is expected to help the push to keep a Democrat in the White House for a third consecutive term.

民主黨和共和黨初選過程中，奧巴馬至今基本沒有參與。但目前希拉里·克林頓和川普在11月對決的格局已經形成，預計奧巴馬將設法幫助民主黨人繼續第三屆留在白宮。

During his campaign, Trump has repeatedly criticized Obama's presidency and said if Clinton is elected she will only continue those policies.

川普在競選期間屢次批評奧巴馬總統的執政表現，並說如果希拉里·克林頓當選，她只會延續奧巴馬的政策。
