He was one of the most passionate propagandist(宣传者)s for Hugo Chávez’s Bolivarian revolution(玻利瓦尔革命): a feisty(精力充沛的) leftist TV personality who spent more than two decades singing the movement’s praises(为运动高唱赞歌) on his state-funded show, The Razorblade(《剃刀边缘》节目).
他曾是乌戈·查韦斯玻利瓦尔革命最狂热的宣传者之一：一位精力充沛的左翼电视名人，二十多年来一直在国家资助的节目《剃刀边缘》上为这场运动高唱赞歌。
Mario Silva’s devotion was such that he often hosted his programme with Chávez’s portrait behind him and he had El Comandante(指挥官（查韦斯尊称）)’s curly signature tattooed(纹身) on to his left wrist.
马里奥·席尔瓦的忠诚到了如此地步：他主持节目时身后常挂着查韦斯的画像，还把“指挥官”那花体签名纹在了左腕上。
But nine months after Venezuela’s political landscape was scrambled(搅乱) by Donald Trump’s abduction(绑架) of Chávez’s heir, Nicolás Maduro(尼古拉斯·马杜罗), Silva’s show has been cancelled, and its host is livid(暴怒的) about the revolution’s direction under Maduro’s former deputy, Delcy Rodríguez(德尔西·罗德里格斯).
但唐纳德·特朗普绑架查韦斯继承人尼古拉斯·马杜罗，搅乱委内瑞拉政治格局九个月后，席尔瓦的节目被取消，这位主持人对马杜罗前副手德尔西·罗德里格斯领导下的革命方向怒不可遏。
