Donald Trump’s Twitter account is central to his presidential campaign. It is the original platform where he hurled insults and rallied his supporters, and now, thanks to a new data analysis, we can seean internal battle over Trump’s message playing out there.

川普的推特賬號是他競選活動的中心。這是他發動人身攻擊并召集支持者的策源地。而現在，得益于一項新的數據分析，我們得以知道原來川普的推文是有貓膩的。

Is central to等于is the center of，不過用前者顯得更高端一點。

這里的an internal battle playing out there的字面意思是“有一個內部斗爭正在進行”，它在這是想表達：川普的推文并不完全是一回事，其中是有不同的。

It’s become a parlor game to guess if Trump is writing tweets or if his staff has taken over. But assembling Donald Trump word salad is not easy—a commonly cited tell: Trump tweets “Sad!” and his staff tweets “Sad.”

猜測川普的推文到底是他自己發的還是員工代筆已經成了茶余飯后的娛樂節目了。不過，想搞定川普的這碗詞匯沙拉可并不容易，有一條流行的傳言說：川普會發“真是悲哀啊!”，而他的員工只會發“悲哀啊”。

It’s在這里是it has的簡寫，而非it is的簡寫，這其實可以從后面跟的become推斷出來。這種用法現在很普遍了，不過許多年長者并不贊同這種用法。

Parlor game的意思是“室內游戲”。西方社會中，到了晚上或節假日，家人朋友有時會聚在客廳里一起玩些諸如“你演我猜”的游戲，這樣的活動被稱為parlor game。

While most politicians don’t operate their own feeds, or else they “sign” their tweets when they do, Trump claims to manage his Twitter alone—except when he is blaming “interns” forembarrassing retweets.

雖然大多數政客并不自己運營在文字媒體上向公眾發布的言辭，也有些人直接“批復”自己的推文，但川普聲稱自己的推特完全是自己管理的——除了當他需要將那些讓人尷尬的轉發推到“實習生們”身上的時候。

“那個一不小心轉發的年輕實習生向大家道歉。”

To find out who’s really tweeting what, data scientist David Robinson decided to test out one popular hypothesis—that Trump’s tweets come from an Android device (he’s known to use a Samsung Galaxy), while staff tweets come from iPhones.

為了弄清楚到底是誰發了什么，數據科學家David Robinson決定來驗證一個流行的假設：川普自己的推文是用安卓機發的(眾所周知，他的手機是三星Galaxy)，而員工發的則出自蘋果機。

Timing

發推時機

Old-school retweets

老式的轉發

“@realDonaldTrump可憐的杰布·布什。我可以發誓我那天在川普塔外面看到他了!”

Robinson searched for tweets starting with quotations, and found that almost all of the “quoted” retweets came from the Android phone—only six came from an iPhone.

Robinson檢索了那些以引用作為開頭的推文，他發現幾乎所有引用類的轉發推文都來自安卓機，只有6條來自蘋果機。

All the feelings

個中情懷

Next, Robinson looked at the words that Trump’s account uses most frequently—here are the top 20:

接著，Robinson研究了川普賬號中用得最頻繁的詞，以下是其中的TOP 20：

And then he identified the most common words tweeted by each OS using Trump’s account, and that’s where the real difference can be seen.

然后，他確定了川普賬號在兩個操作系統中最常推的詞，而從這之中就能看出真正的區別了。

The iPhone tweets are often about logistics, and frequently use hashtags to try and coordinate their message. The Android tweets, well, sound like Trump. And it’s not just you thinking that. Robinson also used software that analyzes the sentiments behind words, associating them with ten different sentiments: positive, negative, anger, anticipation, disgust, fear, joy, sadness, surprise, and trust.

從iPhone發出來的推文通常是關于后勤的，而且試圖頻繁地用標簽來整合信息。至于安卓機發出來的推文嘛，感覺就像是川普會說的話。而且不光是你在這么想，Robinson還用一個軟件來分析了這些詞背后的情緒，把它們與10種不同的情緒聯系起來：積極、消極、憤怒、期待、厭惡、恐懼、喜悅、悲傷、驚訝、信任。

That analysis found that Trump’s Android tweets use “about 40-80% more words related to disgust, sadness, fear, anger, and other ‘negative’ sentiments than the iPhone account does.” In other words, yup, that’s Trump.

這個分析顯示，川普的安卓機發出的推文中“那些與厭惡、悲傷、恐懼、憤怒以及其他負面情緒相關的詞要比iPhone的多出40-80%”。換句話說，對，就是川普本人。
