Pedigree

    门第

    美国前总统小布什的弟弟、佛罗里达州前州长杰布·布什周一在迈阿密的戴德学院举行宣布仪式，正式加入选战。请看本报昨日的报道：

    Jeb Bush jumped headlong into the presidential race Monday, insisting "America deserves better" after eight years of Barack Obama, as the Republican seeks to win over votes skeptical of his political pedigree.

    Following a lengthy exploration of a White House bid, Bush made his formal announcement at Miami Dade College.

    "I have decided. I am a candidate for president of the United States," he said.

    As the crowd roared, a relieved Bush uttered: "Whooo!"

    While he is the son and brother of two former presidents, Bush highlighted his own political vision and his two terms as governor of Florida.

    报道中的pedigree就是“门第、家谱”，用来指动物则是“纯种的”。有一个著名的狗粮的品牌就是Pedigree，译为“宝路”。例如：

    He was proud of his impeccable pedigree.

    他因出身名门望族而骄傲。
