總統家族? 小布什弟弟宣佈競選美國總統

Polling suggests he has yet to dominate a wide field of Republican candidates.
民意調查表明他還未在共和黨候選人之爭中獲得廣泛支持。

Speaking in both English and Spanish, Mr Bush used his speech to appeal to a broad swath of the US electorate - of which minorities have become increasingly more important - not just the Republican's conservative base.
傑布·布什能說英語和西班牙語,他利用這一點向不侷限於共和黨傳統票倉的更廣大選民發出了呼籲。這些少數族裔已經變得越來越重要。

"In any language," Mr Bush said, "my message will be an optimistic one because I am certain that we can make the decades just ahead in America the greatest time ever to be alive in this world."
布什說:“在任何語言裏我的信息都是樂觀的。因爲我確信我們能讓美國的未來幾十年成爲世界上最偉大的時代。”

Much of Mr Bush's remarks were dedicated to his record as the former governor of Florida, during which time the state enjoyed economic growth.
布什講話中的大部分內容關於他擔任佛羅里達州州長時的政績,當時該州的經濟獲得了增長。

However, his speech was interrupted by at least one heckler, forcing Mr Bush to improvise a response that included a denunciation of President Barack Obama's immigration reforms.
然而,他的演講被至少一名質問者打斷。布什不得不臨時應對其問題,包括批評巴拉克·奧巴馬總統的移民改革。

Mr Bush also offered some insight into his foreign policy stances.
布什還介紹了他的部分外交立場。

"We keep dependable friends in this world by being dependable ourselves. I will rebuild our vital friendships and that starts by standing with the brave democratic state of Israel," he told the crowd, which erupted in cheers.
他對現場聽衆說:“因爲我們自身值得信賴,所以在這個世界上我們擁有值得信賴的朋友。我將重建我們重要的友誼,從和勇敢的民主國家——以色列站在一起開始。”人羣中因此爆發出歡呼聲。

He also denounced Mr Obama's recent overtures toward Cuba.
他還譴責了奧巴馬總統近來對古巴的友好姿態。

"Ninety miles to our south there's a talk of a state visit by our outgoing president," Mr Bush said. "We don't need a glorified tourist to go to Havana in support of a failed Cuba. We need an American president to go to Havana in solidarity with a free Cuban people, and I'm ready to be that president."
他說:“向南90英里,有一場談判,關於我們即將卸任的總統的國事訪問。我們需要的不是一個被美化的遊客,去哈瓦那支持失敗的古巴。我們要的是一名美國總統,前往哈瓦那和自由的古巴人民站在一邊。我已準備好成爲這樣的總統。”
