On the one hand was the mayor and governor duty were too after all few, moreover by two big party grasping of firmly in own hand, was no one can become the mayor, the personal connection ability fund was indispensable. 一方面是市长、州长这种职务毕竟太少了,而且被两大党牢牢的抓在自己的手里,不是谁都能成为市长的,人脉能力资金缺一不可。 Next, the congressman makes money compared with the mayor. 其次,议员比市长更赚钱。 If the fund of mayor has the contact of large quantity, may alarm the internal affairs department and counter- crime by taking advantage of duty Bureau of Investigation very much, but the congressman is different. 市长的资金如果有大额的往来,很有可能惊动内务部门和反职务犯罪调查局,但议员不同。 When the conference starts each time sits in the steps conference room in El Capitolio, some people will infiltrate in various legitimate ways astonishing funds the account of congressman, will not have affected them. 只要每次会议开始时坐在国会大厦的阶梯会议室中,就会有人把一笔笔数额惊人的资金以各种合法的方式打入议员的账户里,还不会影响到他们自己。 They must do will not make them be condemned by conscience, so long as cast an immaterial ticket when necessary on the line. 他们要做的甚至都不会让他们受到良心的谴责只要在必要的时候投上无关紧要的一票就行了。 No matter opposed, approves to forfeit, so long as meets capitalists' requirement, the bill in they not parsimonious pocket. 不管是反对,赞成还是弃权,只要符合资本家们的要求,他们就不会吝啬自己口袋里的钞票。 Just actively is developing the human relations by Landon that the assistant status was put on regular status, he served a long time for the beforehand senior congressman. 刚刚以助理身份转正的兰登正在积极的开拓人脉关系,他为之前的老议员服务了很长一段时间。 Finally because the senior congressman the reason of body has to leave the job that he loves, and nominates own assistant, is Landon replaces his work. 最终老议员因为身体的缘故不得不离开他热爱的工作岗位,并且提名自己的助手,也就是兰登来接替他的工作。 In addition Landon and inner-party attained the support through the way of benefit exchange from the governor, therefore this position after fair and just voting, everyone acknowledged the Landon working ability, making him new congressional member of the house of representatives. 加上兰登通过利益交换的方式从州长和党内拿到了支持,所以这个位置经过公平公正的投票之后,大家承认了兰登的工作能力,让他成为新一任的国会众议员。 All are the personal ability make everyone choose prominently his, no safety strip, all conform to the federal absolutely the rule. 一切都是个人能力突出才让大家选择他的,绝对没有什么暗箱操作,一切都符合联邦的规则。 From taking office starting from first day, Landon felt the importance of this work, as well as on shoulder heavy heavy burden, he pledged that this whole life must protect on this post, served the federal people, learned from the senior congressman...... 从上任的第一天开始,兰登就感受到了这份工作的重要性,以及自己肩膀上沉沉的重担,他发誓这辈子一定要守护在这个岗位上,为联邦的人民服务,向老议员学习…… Just since El Capitolio came out, in the Landon brain also before an issue that thinking soon to be talking about. 刚从国会大厦出来,兰登脑子里还在想着不久之前谈到的一个问题。 The Duncan family's people are catching a chill, hopes that they can approve a named «Overseas Security Bill» proposal. 邓肯家族的人正在吹风,希望他们能够通过一份名为《海外保安法案》的提案。 This proposal Landon had not looked, but he has felt the Duncan family's sincerity. 这份提案兰登还没有看,不过他已经感受到了邓肯家族的诚意。 With being full of the way of written language style really worthily is the Duncan family! 用充满书面语言风格的方式来说真不愧是邓肯家族!
