Politainer is a politician who is or was an entertainer; or a politician who makes extensive use of entertainment media, particularly during a campaign.
政壇藝人指的是從事過演藝工作的政治人物,或者大量使用娛樂媒體的政治人物,特別是在競選活動中。
This word is blend of politician and entertainer and it was dreamed up by David Schultz, a political science professor at Minnesota’s Hamline University.
這個詞結合了英文中“政治人物”和“演藝人士”兩個詞匯,是美國明尼蘇達州哈姆萊大學的政治學教授大衛(wèi)-舒爾茨創(chuàng)造出的。
“Politics has become entertainment, and candidates are appearing on these shows because they want to come across as entertainers, not candidates,” Schultz says.
舒爾茨說:“政治越來越娛樂化,候選人參加各種節(jié)目,因為他們想留給人的印象是娛樂界人士,而不是候選人。”
