“TIME”最新記事の「今」を読み解くキーワード③

TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN HOPES the President’s evangelical and Jewish supporters, unnerved by his handling of COVID-19 and the subsequent economic crisis, are watching too. “It reinforces to social conservatives why they took the risk on Donald Trump and why that risk ultimately paid off.” says a senior Trump campaign adviser and confidant, speaking anonymously to discuss campaign strategy. It also reinforces to conservative Jewish voters that they “have a strong supporter in the White House,” he says.

evangelical　福音の、福音主義の

Jewish　ユダヤの、ユダヤ人の

unnerve　の気力を失わせる、びくびくさせる

subsequent　後の

reinforce　をより強固にする

ultimately　最終的に、結局

confidant　腹心、相談相手

anonymously　匿名で

strategy　戦略

conservative　保守的な

Some evangelical fear the pandemic is a sign that “things had gone awry spiritually” for the Administration, says Mark Tooley, editor of the foreign-policy-focused Christian journal Providence. A July Pew Research poll showed white evangelical support for Trump has fallen, though 8 in 10 say they’d still vote for him. This diplomatic breakthrough might convince “some who were tottering on the edge” that “God’s blessing remains,” Tooley says.

awry　曲がった、歪んだ

spiritually　精神的に、宗教的に

Administration　行政、管理

Providence　摂理、神意

vote for　に投票する

breakthrough　画期的な出来事

convince　を納得させる

tottering　よろめく、ゆらぐ

on the edge　ぎりぎりのところで

God’s blessing　神の祝福

The deal also cements trump’s hold on at least part of the Jewish vote, says a major Jewish donor who spoke on condition of anonymity. Most Jewish voters traditionally vote Democratic, as opposed to the conservative Jews who make up Trump’s base, he says, but having one fewer Arab country as Israel’s enemy is “a real feather in his cap with the Jewish voters.”

hold on　持ちこたえる

anonymity　匿名

traditionally　伝統的に

conservative　保守的な

base　起訴、根拠

Democratic strategist Joel Rubin agrees it will be welcomed by many － if it delivers peace in the region. “We re happy that Israel is getting a win, but if it means less prospects for peace with Palestinians and more opportunities for confrontation with Iran, we’re not happy,” says Rubin. “We want it to be the pedestal to more peace, not the gateway to more conflict.”

strategist　戦略家

prospects　見込み

confrontation　対面、対決

pedestal　台座

gateway　出入口

Trump is bullish that he may yet get one more elusive win out of the deal. Administration officials are confident that Iran, seeing its adversaries coalesce, can be backed into a corner on negotiating its nuclear program. On Aug.17 the President punctuated that point in a Wisconsin campaign speech: “If we win, and when we win, we’re going to have a deal with Iran immediately.”

bullish　楽観的な、上向きの

elusive　理解しにくい、達成困難な、捕えにくい

out of the deal　管轄外の

coalesce　合体する、癒着する

punctuated　を何度も中断する

have a deal with　と取引する
