This is likely to be the most important election of our lifetime.

這很可能是我們一生中最重要的一次選舉。

so/ such/ neither/ nor 倒裝句型

Never have the stakes been higher, but neither has the choice been so easy to make.

這是從未有過的高風險，但也從未有過如此容易做出的選擇。

This is a video that I dreaded I would have to make.

I was really looking forward to the possibility that the Republican nominee would be anyone other than Donald Trump.

我真的很期待共和黨的提名人可能不是唐納德-特朗普。

If it had been Mitt Romney, Nikki Haley, or even Ron DeSantis, this video endorsement would have simply explained that you should vote for whoever you wanted based on your policy preferences, because from a legal perspective, it would have been safe to vote for either candidate.

如果是米特-羅姆尼（Mitt Romney）、尼基-黑利（Nikki Haley），甚至是羅恩-德桑蒂斯（Ron DeSantis），這個視頻代言人就會簡單地解釋說，你應該根據自己的政策偏好投票給你想要的人，因為從法律角度來看，投票給任何一位候選人都是安全的。

And it was going to be gloriously clickbaity with probably the same title and thumbnail that I used here.

它的標題和縮略圖可能和我在這裡用的一樣，點擊率很高。

But unfortunately, this isn't that video because the Republicans nominated Donald Trump, again.

但不幸的是，這不是那段視頻，因為共和黨又提名了唐納德-特朗普。

Others will explain the policy differences between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump.

其他人將解釋副總統卡馬拉-哈里斯和前總統特朗普之間的政策差異。

And while they do come out from time to time because law is the result of politics, this video's endorsement is not based on those policy preferences.

雖然法律是政治的結果，是以它們時不時會出現，但本視頻的支持並非基於這些政策偏好。

And when I talk about a policy matter, I'm talking about the laws that a president might sign or the actions they might take, things that they can legitimately do under our system of governance.

當我談到政策問題時，我指的是總統可能簽署的法律或可能採取的行動，這些都是在我們的治理體系下他們可以合法做的事情。

And those preferences are partisan, and that's fine.

這些偏好是黨派性的，沒關係。

Reasonable minds can differ about those policies.

理智的人可以對這些政策持不同意見。

This is an endorsement based on the law from a group of lawyers based on their experience and knowledge of the law.

這是由一組律師根據他們的經驗和法律知識做出的法律認可。

And it's about the preservation of our democracy.

So not to bury the lead, Legal Eagle cannot endorse Donald Trump for president.

是以，為了不埋沒線索，Legal Eagle 不能支持唐納德-特朗普競選總統。

For the good of our country, the right vote is for Vice President Kamala Harris.

為了我們國家的利益，正確的一票應該投給副總統卡馬拉-哈里斯。

Donald Trump represents an affront to the law.

唐納德-特朗普是對法律的侮辱。

This election is a choice between a criminal or a prosecutor.

這次選舉是在罪犯還是檢察官之間做出選擇。

And I'd like to explain why this distinction is the only one that matters in this election.

我想解釋一下為什麼這種區別是這次選舉中唯一重要的區別。

Because Donald Trump represents a credible threat to the rule of law, free speech, and free elections.

因為唐納德-特朗普對法治、言論自由和自由選舉構成了可信的威脅。

And without the rule of law, free speech, and free elections, the rest simply doesn't matter.

如果沒有法治、言論自由和自由選舉，其他的根本就不重要。

At that point, your policy preferences are irrelevant.

在這一點上，你的政策偏好無關緊要。

We believe that if you care about the rule of law, the evenhandedness of our governmental and judicial systems, and want to make sure that your vote counts in the future, you cannot vote for Donald Trump in this election.

我們認為，如果您關心法治，關心我們政府和司法系統的公正性，並希望確保您的選票在未來能發揮重要作用，您就不能在這次選舉中投票給唐納德-特朗普。

And I'd like to make the case that if you do care about the rule of law, Kamala Harris is the only choice.

我想說明的是，如果你真的關心法治，卡馬拉-哈里斯是唯一的選擇。

First, not to state the obvious, but Trump is a criminal who has no respect for the law and seeks to flaunt the law for his personal gain.

首先，我不想說得太明顯，但特朗普是一個罪犯，他不尊重法律，為了個人利益而藐視法律。

Trump is a convicted felon many times over.

在卡羅爾贏得對特朗普的兩起訴訟後，法官裁定陪審團認定，根據該詞的普通定義，特朗普的行為被視為強姦。

Trump's apparent success as a businessman was built on fraud and a total disregard for the law.

特朗普作為商人表面上的成功是建立在欺詐和完全無視法律的基礎上的。

Earlier this year, a New York court ruled that Trump fraudulently misrepresented his financial figures to get cheaper loans and other benefits.

Trump was indicted for illegally retaining highly classified defense documents and obstruction of justice.

特朗普因非法保留高度機密的國防文件和妨礙司法公正而被起訴。

The most serious charge against Trump is that he retained national defense information, which is a violation of the Espionage Act.

But remember, impeachment is a political remedy, not a legal one.

但請記住，彈劾是一種政治手段，而不是法律手段。

But the Trump bipartisan impeachments were unprecedented.

And even Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell suggested that Trump should be convicted in court, regardless of the impeachment in Congress.

甚至連參議院多數黨領袖米奇-麥康奈爾（Mitch McConnell）也建議，無論國會是否進行彈劾，都應在法庭上給特朗普定罪。
