[코리아타임스로 '진짜 외신' 읽기]


Barack Obama helped raise $11 million for White House hopeful Joe Biden during a Tuesday virtual fundraiser where the former president said a "great awakening" among Americans could help defeat Donald Trump in November's election.

버락 오바마 전 대통령은 화요일 열린 화상 모금 행사에서 차기 대선주자 조 바이든 전 부통령을 위해 1,100만 달러를 모금하는데 일조했고, 이 행사에서 오바마는 미국인들 사이에 ‘위대한 각성'이 11월 대선에서 도널드 트럼프를 물리치는 데 도움이 될 것이라고 말했다.


The presidential candidate brought substantial supporters and raised over $11 million in total, making it the most successful finance event of the entire campaign. Some $7.6 million of that came from 175,000 grassroots donors.

대선 주자인 조 바이든은 상당한 지지자들을 끌어모아 총 1,100만 달러가 넘는 금액을 모금하여 모금 행사 중 가장 성공적인 행사가 되었다. 그중 약 760만 달러는 17만5천명의 소액 기부자들에게서 나왔다.


"There's nobody I trust more to be able to heal this country and get back on track than my dear friend Joe Biden," said Obama.

오바마 전 대통령은 "친애하는 내 친구 조 바이든만큼 이 나라를 치유하고 정상 궤도에 올려놓을 수 있는 사람은 아무도 없다"고 말했다.


"What makes me optimistic is the fact that there is a great awakening going on around the country, particularly among younger people" who are "fed up with the shambolic, disorganized, mean-spirited approach to governance that we've seen over the last couple of years," he added.

그는 "나를 낙관적으로 만드는 것은 이 나라에, 특히 젊은이들 사이에서 위대한 각성이 일어나고 있다는 사실로 이들은 지난 몇 년간 엉망에, 체계적이지 못하고, 비열한 정치 방식에 진저리가 난 사람들"이라고 덧붙였다.


Biden said he agreed with Obama's remarks on political change. He also mentioned world leaders have grown weary of Trump.

바이든은 오바마의 정치교체 발언에 동의한다고 말했다. 그는 또 세계 지도자들이 트럼프에 염증을 느끼고 있다고 언급했다.
