Lincoln welcomed his old political opponent.

VOA: special.2009.08.13

When our political opponent is being ironic about our views we understand the irony perfectly well. We're used to it, we have accommodated ourselves to it, and of course it's the same in reverse.

当政敌讽刺我们的观点,我们能够充分的理解这个讽刺，我们已经习惯这点了,是我们使自己习惯这点的，当然，反之亦然。
