This clause had seemed to scotch the chances of Sandra Torres, the country’s ambitious first lady, becoming its first presidenta.
這項條款似乎剝奪了瓜國第一夫人Sandra Torres施展抱負的機會，她想成為第一位女總統（presidenta）。
======
scotch the chances of becoming its first presidenta.
剝奪了雄心勃勃的瓜國第一夫人Sandra Torres成為第一位女總統的機會

Speaking last month, Mr Colom gushed over his wife’s leadership skills and the “impressive passion” she inspired.
Álvaro Colom上個月發表演講，大力稱讚妻子的領導技巧，她也受到這股「感人熱情」的鼓舞。
======
对夫人的领导技巧和她激发出的“令人钦佩的激情”大加赞赏。

Since then Guatemala has become far more dangerous, as Mexican cocaine smugglers have put down roots in the wild jungle areas near the northern border.
因為當時瓜地馬拉變得更加危險，當墨西哥古柯鹼走私者在北部邊境附近的野生叢林區內種植毒品。
======
put down roots - to do things which show that one wishes to stay put; to feel that one belong in a place. 定居
因為墨西哥古柯鹼走私者在北部邊境附近的野生叢林區內安营扎寨，自此瓜地馬拉的治安每况愈下。

The field is likely to be crowded—14 candidates, mostly from fairly new parties, stood in 2007—and the dynamics of a run-off depend on who squeaks through the first round.
選票上的候選人可能擠爆—2007年有十四位候選人，很多都來自新成立的政黨—而第二輪投票的動態取決於哪一位在第一輪通過考驗。
======
stand in - a person or thing that serves as a substitute.
候选人竞争可望异常激烈，更替2007年14个席位的候选人多来自新成立的政党，而第二輪投票的動態取決於哪些候选人能通过第一轮的考验。

At the moment, many candidates are content to focus on getting on the ballot.
屆時，很多候選人一定各顯神通要讓自己的名字出現在第二輪選票上。
======
content adj - Ready to accept or acquiesce; willing: She was content to step down after four years as chief executive.
眼下，很多候选人更专注于讓自己的名字出現在選票上。
