They acknowledge Donald Trump’s dominance, but weary Republicans across New Hampshire — even inside the governor’s office — are fighting to stop the former president from winning the first-in-the-nation primary.

他們承認唐納德‧川普的優勢，但新罕布夏州疲憊的共和黨人，甚至州長辦公室內部的共和黨人，也正在努力阻止這位前總統贏得這場全國最早的初選。

For now, however, they’re relying on little more than hope and prayers.

然而，目前他們依靠的只是希望和祈禱。

More than a dozen high-profile Republicans are looking to New Hampshire to help stop Trump’s march toward a third consecutive Republican presidential nomination. But so far, none has cracked the veneer of inevitability that has followed Trump through the early states on the presidential primary calendar despite — or perhaps because of — his mounting legal challenges.

十多名知名共和黨人正期待新罕布夏州幫助阻止川普連續第三次獲得共和黨總統候選人提名，但到目前為止，儘管（或者可能是因為）川普面臨的法律挑戰越來越多，他在總統初選日程表上的早期幾個州中，一直處於不可避免的地位，但沒有一個人能夠打破這種表象。

A significant portion of the Republican electorate remains open to a new presidential nominee with less baggage than Trump. But months after many of them entered the race, there is little sign that the former president’s rivals are breaking through. (AP)

共和黨選民中有相當一部分人，仍然對包袱比川普少的新總統候選人持開放態度。但是，在他們中的許多人參選幾個月後，幾乎沒有跡象表明，這位前總統的競爭對手正在取得突破。（美聯社）
