释义 |
whistle-stop campaign noun /ˌwɪsl stɒp kæmˈpeɪn/ /ˌwɪsl stɑːp kæmˈpeɪn/ - a political campaign in which a politician makes short stops at many different towns. The expression was first used in the US, where small American towns were called 'whistle-stops' because trains only stopped at them if a whistle signal was given. President Truman was well known for his whistle-stop campaigns, during which he made speeches in many small towns from the platform on the end of a train.吹口哨运动:一种政治运动,政客在许多不同的城镇短暂停留。这种表达方式最早在美国使用,在美国的小城镇被称为“哨站”,因为只有在发出哨声的情况下,火车才会在它们的停靠。杜鲁门总统的举报运动闻名于世,在此期间,他在火车结束后的多个平台上的许多小镇上发表了演讲。
