BACKGROUND
Taylor Swift’s recent political Instagram post has received an enormous amount of attention, igniting a firestorm in the political media and earning the singer both praise and backlash from fans and political leaders alike.
事件背景
泰勒•斯威夫特(Taylor Swift)最近在Instagram上发布的政治帖子受到了极大关注，在政治媒体上引发了轩然大波，粉丝和政治领袖都对这位歌手赞不绝口，有的也表示反对。
Swift wrote, "due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me." She added that she "will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives."
她写道：“由于过去两年在我生活中和世界上发生的几件事，我无法支持布莱克本，她的国会投票纪录吓坏我了。”她补充说，她“将投票支持参议员候选人布雷德森和众议员候选人库珀。”
Blackburn is a Republican Party lawmaker representing the state of Tennessee. She serves in the United States House of Representatives. Swift wrote that Blackburn is against gay rights, equal pay for women and legislation to protect women from domestic violence, stalking and date rape.
布莱克本是代表田纳西州的共和党议员，她在美国众议院任职。斯威夫特写道，布莱克本反对同性恋权利、女性同工同酬以及旨在保护妇女免受家庭暴力、跟踪和约会强奸的法案。
But no other Taylor Swift fan appears to be quite as affected by the 28-year –old’s post endorsing Tennessee Democrats Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper for the midterm elections than longtime fan president Donald Trump.
不过，对于这位28岁的泰勒·斯威夫特的粉丝来说，这位支持田纳西州民主党人菲尔·布莱德森和吉姆·库珀参加中期选举的粉丝，似乎没有谁能比唐纳德·特朗普更受其影响了。
President Donald Trump, who has campaigned for Blackburn, dismissed Swift's opinion of the candidate. He said, Swift “doesn't know anything about her. And let's say that I like Taylor's music about 25 percent less now, OK?”
曾为布莱克本站台的川普总统驳斥了斯威夫特对这位候选人的看法。他说，斯威夫特“对布莱克本一无所知。不如说我现在对泰勒的音乐的喜爱度低了大约25%，如何？”
