On NBC's Meet the Press, the top Republican in the U.S. Senate, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, said polls show the vote in Massachusetts was largely about health care reform. "The American people had a victory in Massachusetts. And they were sending us the message - stop and start over," he said.
高层共和党人、美国参议院少数党领袖麦康奈尔在全国广播公司的“面对媒体”节目上说，民调显示在麻萨诸塞州的这次选举多半和健保改革有关。麦康奈尔说：“美国人民在麻萨诸塞州赢得了胜利。而且他们向我们发出了这条信息：罢手，从头做起。”
One of the president's chief advisors, Valerie Jarrett, makes clear Mr. Obama is not about to give up.
奥巴马的首席顾问之一瓦莱丽.贾勒特明确表示，奥巴马不会放弃。
She also appeared on Meet the Press, saying, "What the president is always going to do is push hard for the American people. He is not going to give up on that because of one election in Massachusetts."
她也在“面对媒体”节目上露了面。贾勒特说：“奥巴马总统始终准备为美国人民而尽力争取。他不会由于麻萨诸塞州的一次选举而放弃健保改革。”
But there are already small incremental signs of change at the White House and the Democratic Party headquarters following the Massachusetts election.
但是已经有更多迹象显示，白宫和民主党在麻萨诸塞州的选举后略有改变。
The man who led the successful Obama presidential campaign, David Plouffe, will help the party prepare for Congressional elections in November. And President Obama is making a greater effort to show the American people that his policies can change their lives for the better - particularly when it comes to creating jobs.
成功地主导奥巴马总统竞选活动的大卫.普洛非将帮助民主党准备11月间的国会选举。而奥巴马总统则更加努力地向美国人民显示他的政策能让他们生活更美满，尤其在创造就业机会方面。
Jarrett indicates that will be a focus of the State of the Union Address, saying "he will be able to set forward his priorities and they will be focusing on the middle class - our middle class is struggling out there, they are frustrated, they are angry."
贾勒特指出那将是国情咨文的一个要点。贾勒特说：“他将会展现自己的首要任务，而这些任务的重点对象是中产阶级，我们的中产阶级在不断奋斗，他们感到失望，也觉得愤慨。”
The president will deliver his State of the Union Address to Congress and the American people on Wednesday.
奥巴马总统将在星期三向国会和美国人民发表他的国情咨文。
