Marine Le Pen

By Vivienne Walt

April 16, 2015

France's nationalist force

Just under a year ago, France’s Marine Le Pen told TIME her far-right National Front Party would be in power within a decade. That’s a nightmarish prospect for millions who regard her France-for-the-French message as mere jingoism—and it seemed like a stretch.

nightmarish：悪夢のような

jingoism：盲目的な愛国主義

Her prediction, however, no longer seems preposterous. Le Pen has spun gold from voter exasperation, mixing charm and ambition to rack up wins in European Parliament and local elections with an anti-Europe, anti-immigration campaign. That’s made her Europe’s leading right-winger, giving like-minded politicians across the continent a dose of electability. And this month she finally split from her father, National Front founder Jean-Marie Le Pen, over his noxious anti-Semitism.

preposterous：ばかげた、非常識な

 exasperation：憎悪、怒り

rack up ：得点、利益などをあげる

like-minded ：同じ意見の、同志の

 dose ：服用量

electability：

Le Pen has strong allure for many French, who have hit the wall with asphyxiating political elitism and near zero growth. To stop her race for the Élysée Palace in its tracks, France’s lackluster leaders will need to overhaul their ineffectual, gutless style and mount a more appealing revolution of their own.

 allure ：魅力

asphyxiating：窒息する

lackluster：活気のない、どんよりした

mount：開始する
