开始的时候，理查德·尼克松说他不会和约翰逊·肯尼迪辩论，因为在这交易里他能赢的很少，却可能输很多。
AT FIRST, Richard Nixon vowed he would not debate John Kennedy. He had little to gain from such an encounter, and much to lose.
当他的家人请我和鲍勃·多尔、亨利·基辛格、加利福尼亚州州长皮特·威尔逊(他在年轻时曾为尼克松工作过)一道发言时，我感到很吃惊。
I was somewhat surprised when his family asked me to speak, along with Bob Dole, Henry Kissinger, and California governor Pete Wilson, who as a young man had worked for Nixon.
约翰逊和尼克松一定通不过最后的两项测试，就尼克松的例子说，他有这么句话，"我，尼某不会再待在这里任你们糟蹋了"，这透露出，他并不能处理好自己的挫败情绪。
Johnson and Nixon would never have passed the last two tests, and in Nixon's case, the line about not having "Nixon to kick around any more" was a sign he couldn't handle setbacks well.
