Embattled：被攻擊的

美國總統(tǒng)大選進入了最后的關(guān)鍵階段，鹿死誰手已初見端倪，截止11月3日上午11:20，布什已獲得193張選舉人票，遙遙領先于克里的112張。請看最新的外電報道：President Bush and challenger John Kerry traded early victories Tuesday in a tense and testy contest between an embattled wartime incumbent and a hard-charging Democrat who blamed the Republican for chaos in Iraq and joblessness at home.

From the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River, polls closed in more than two dozen states but the race was wide open. It was too close to call in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida, with a combined 68 electoral votes, one-fourth of the coveted total of 270.

Bush won West Virginia, a battleground state with five electoral votes and a long history of backing Democrats until the president took it in 2000. Kerry battled back by winning the statewide vote in Maine, worth three electoral votes.

Embattled有雙重含義：“嚴陣以待的，投入戰(zhàn)斗的”或“四面楚歌的，被攻擊、批評或反對包圍的”。在這里embattled是形容布什是一個做好準備的“戰(zhàn)爭斗士”，還是一個遭到譴責和攻擊的“戰(zhàn)爭罪人”呢？請看下面的相關(guān)例子：embattled troops（嚴陣以待的部隊）；an embattled legislative minority（被四面攻擊的立法少數(shù)派）；an embattled governor（四面楚歌的官員）。
