1·In an echo of the Watergate hearings 35 years ago, Mr. Greenspan was asked when he knew there was a housing bubble and when he told the public about it.
听证会的气氛使人回想起35年前的水门事件国会听证。格林斯潘被问到他何时知道存在着住房泡沫以及他又是何时告知公众这一点的。
2·There were questions about his role in the Watergate scandal, but that was long ago, and Mr Bennett, 76, has spent three terms in the Senate without notable sleaze or incompetence.
在水门事件中他的角色备受怀疑，不过那已是陈年旧事，76岁的贝内特已担任了三届参议员，并没有出现丑闻和不称职的情况。
3·And for decades now, the granddaddy of all rationalizations has been the "character" issue that was born of Vietnam and Watergate and became ubiquitous after Gary Hart.
几十年来，所有与“品德”问题有关“想当然”，其源头都出自越南和水门事件的报道，并且在加里·哈特之后无处不在。
4·But one thing is becoming clear: the publicly-funded system, which was put in place after Watergate, is on its last legs.
但是有一件事情是越来越清楚明白的：水门事件后实行的公众集资体系正在走向末路。
5·For years afterward, I think I held that against him almost as much as Watergate.
我觉得在这以后许多年里，我都因为这事不喜欢他，就像不喜欢他的水门事件一样。
