스페어 후보론

그러나 1789년부터 4년마다 대선을 치른 미국에선 공화•민주 양당의 대선 후보가 유고 사태를 당해 ‘반쪽 선거’를 치른 적이 전무하다. 다만 대통령 취임 뒤 질병•암살 등으로 8명의 대통령이 임기를 마치지 못했다. 1840년 당선된 윌리엄 해리슨은 폭우 속에 취임식을 강행한 뒤 한 달 만에 폐렴으로 사망했다. 노예 해방을 밀어붙인 에이브러햄 링컨은 암살당한 네 명의 대통령 중 첫 번째 희생자다.

ⓐ U.S..  United States 수식하는 단어가 없을 시에는 보통 정식 명칭 사용
ⓑ has  has had 과거부터 현재까지 계속 4년에 한 번씩 대선을 치르고 있으므로 현재완료형으로 표현
ⓒ have there been an incomplete election  has there been an incomplete election 앞에 부정어 not once가 먼저 나와 뒤의 주어 an incomplete가 도치된 문장이므로 동사는 has가 되어야 함
ⓓ fulfil their office  complete their term in office ‘임기term를 완료하다’는 표현에 어울리는 동사는 complete. in office는 ‘재직 중’이라는 표현
ⓔ in one month after  one month after 전치사 in은 ‘(지금으로부터) ~ 후에’라는 의미이므로 적합하지 않음. 또한 after와도 중복되는 느낌이 있음.
ⓕ which  in which ‘which’가 취임식inauguration을 나타내어, ‘취임식에서’로 해석되므로 전치사 in 삽입
ⓖ is  was 과거의 사건을 서술하고 있으므로 과거형으로 표현
ⓗ who died of murder.  to be assassinated ‘암살되었다’는 표현에는 assassinate 사용

대통령 재임 시 암살 위기를 겪었던 로널드 레이건은 76년 공화당 후보 경선에서 제럴드 포드에게 패했으나 깨끗이 승복했다. 그것이 4년 뒤 최고령(69세) 대통령에 당선되고, 84년 재선돼 ‘성공한 대통령’으로 평가받는 발판이 됐다.
