Adriano Espaillat is the only formerly undocumented immigrant(非法移民（无证移民）) representing New York in Congress. He is so respected as a leader on matters concerning Hispanic Americans that he chairs the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. He called for dismantling(废除，拆解) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as far back as 2018. And yet, as New York’s Democratic primary nears on June 23rd, he is in a fight for political survival against a first-time candidate, a graduate student in sociology less than half his age who is attacking him for not standing up to ICE, among other matters.
阿德里亚诺·埃斯派拉特是国会中唯一曾为非法移民的纽约代表。他作为西裔美国人事务的领袖备受尊敬，担任国会西裔核心小组主席。早在2018年他就呼吁废除移民和海关执法局（ICE）。然而，随着纽约民主党初选临近（6月23日），他正面临政治生存战：对手是首次参选的社会学研究生，年龄不到他一半，攻击他对ICE不够强硬等。
So it is going across New York City, in the most intense manifestation of what Democratic officeholders are experiencing across the country as congressional primaries unleash the party’s id(释放政党的本我（潜意识冲动）). Candidates in New York who are not quite far enough left, or who bear a whiff of the establishment(带有一丝建制派气息) by virtue of their experience in public office, are struggling against insurgent challengers. For them the lesson for the Democrats of past defeats is not to moderate, but to charge the barricades.
整个纽约市都是如此，这是国会初选释放民主党本我时，全国各地民主党官员遭遇的最激烈体现。纽约的候选人，如果不够左倾，或因公职经验带有一丝建制派气息，都会与挑战者进行激烈斗争。对他们来说，民主党过去失败的教训不是走向温和，而是冲锋陷阵。
In New York’s tenth congressional district, which jumps from lower Manhattan into Brooklyn, the incumbent congressman, Dan Goldman, is a former federal prosecutor who served as the lead counsel in the first impeachment of Donald Trump. His opponent, Brad Lander, is attacking him as a “corporate Democrat(企业民主党人（受大企业影响）)” who is helping enrich the president. When the candidates were asked in a recent debate if they would support a third impeachment of Mr Trump, Mr Lander’s hand shot up. After a moment Mr Goldman followed suit, but then exposed himself as a squish(软弱者，没骨气的人): “But after investigations,” he said. Polls have him trailing.
在纽约第十国会选区（从下曼哈顿跳至布鲁克林），现任议员丹·戈德曼曾担任联邦检察官，并在唐纳德·特朗普首次弹劾案中担任首席律师。他的对手布拉德·兰德攻击他是“企业民主党人”，正在帮助总统致富。在最近一场辩论中，问及是否支持第三次弹劾特朗普时，兰德立刻举手。片刻后戈德曼也跟上，但随后暴露自己是软柿子：“但要在调查之后，”他说。民调显示他落后。
