活躍的“政壇藝人”

政治離不開面對(duì)公眾。對(duì)某些藝人來說，演藝生涯練就的鏡頭感和影響力正好為其日后從政打下基礎(chǔ)，伴隨他們?cè)趶V闊的政治舞臺(tái)長(zhǎng)袖起舞。最成功的例子就是美國(guó)前總統(tǒng)羅納德•里根和“終結(jié)者”阿諾德•施瓦辛格。

Politainer is a politician who is or was an entertainer; or a politician who makes extensive use of entertainment media, particularly during a campaign.

政壇藝人指的是從事過演藝工作的政治人物，或者大量使用娛樂媒體的政治人物，特別是在競(jìng)選活動(dòng)中。

This word is blend of politician and entertainer and it was dreamed up by David Schultz, a political science professor at Minnesota’s Hamline University.

這個(gè)詞結(jié)合了英文中“政治人物”和“演藝人士”兩個(gè)詞匯，是美國(guó)明尼蘇達(dá)州哈姆萊大學(xué)的政治學(xué)教授大衛(wèi)-舒爾茨創(chuàng)造出的。

“Politics has become entertainment, and candidates are appearing on these shows because they want to come across as entertainers, not candidates,” Schultz says.

舒爾茨說：“政治越來越娛樂化，候選人參加各種節(jié)目，因?yàn)樗麄兿肓艚o人的印象是娛樂界人士，而不是候選人。”
