bully pulpit

基本解釋

But the president’s bully pulpit is not what it was before the rise of partisan cable television and the cacophony of the blogosphere empowered the obfuscators.
但是，面對黨派有線電視的興起和混淆是非的人在博客等網(wǎng)絡世界發(fā)出的陣陣嘈雜聲，美國總統(tǒng)的白宮講壇已經(jīng)風光不再。
This overlaps with but is distinct from the concept of the presidential “bully pulpit”—the President’s power to appeal directly to the people for support of his policies.
與這種行為相似但有所差別的是總統(tǒng)“天字第一號講壇”的概念——即總統(tǒng)直接尋求人民支持其政策的權(quán)力。
GEORGE BUSH may occupy the most powerful bully pulpit in the world, but so far he is making little or no headway in selling his latest policy, sending more troops to Iraq.
喬治?布什可以占據(jù)全天下最強大，最霸道的講壇 [1] ，但是在推銷自己最新政策（派遣更多的部隊進駐伊拉克）這方面，到目前為止，他的進展可謂是微乎其微，幾近沒有。
