Six months from polling day , america 's election campaign has opened with a blizzard of tendentious commercials , contrived razzamatazz and mind-numbing trivia .

在宣传广告、人造噱头和鸡毛蒜皮的狂轰滥炸之下，距离投票日还有6个月的美国大选拉开了大幕。

That was last year , and somehow it impressed me more than all the synchronised razzamatazz of the olympic opening ceremony in beijing .

那就发生在去年，但不知为何，它比同时期北京奥运会开幕式的热力四射给我的印象还要深刻。
