Political observers say it has been one of the most negative campaigns in many years.

政治观察员表示，此次选战可能是多年来负面评价最多的选战之一。

A " negative campaign" is when you're attacking the other candidate.

“负面竞选”是指您攻击另一位候选人。

Now, you can have a negative campaign, you can have a positive campaign.

现在，您可以进行负面宣传，也可以进行正面宣传。

Sometimes it seemed the candidates spent as much time on negative campaign advertisements as they did on advertisements that made themselves look good.

有时，候选人似乎在负面竞选广告和正面竞选广告上花的时间一样多。

So a positive campaign focuses on the platform, a negative campaign attacks the other candidate.

因此，积极的竞选活动关注平台，消极的竞选活动则攻击其他候选人。

The negative attack, the negative campaign will say something bad about a candidate.

负面攻击，负面竞选活动会说一些候选人的坏话。

So apparently, during Michael Dukakis's run for president, there was  this, like, very, very negative ad campaign.

显然，在迈克尔·杜卡基斯竞选总统期间，存在着非常非常负面的广告活动。

Yes, of course I'm running a negative campaign, after all Teddy Roosevelt, my favorite president, called the presidency the bully pulpit.

是的，我当然是在进行一场负面的竞选活动，毕竟我最喜欢的总统泰迪·罗斯福 (Teddy Roosevelt) 称总统职位是霸道讲坛。
