Hillary Rodham Clinton released the first television spot of her Senate campaign this morning, a 30-second commercial that will begin airing statewide on Thursday. The spot, titled "First," uses numerous still photos to highlight landmarks in Mrs. Clinton's career, while the voiceover says she is "more than a first lady."

　　There is no mention of Mrs. Clinton's rival for New York's Senate seat, New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.

　　Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson said the ad was "positive" and "biographical," instead of focusing on the first lady's opponent.

　　Mrs. Clinton has previously aired radio ads, but has generally stayed with a strategy of making extensive campaign appearances instead of using television spots, while Giuliani has already run statewide TV ads.

　　3. Voiceover：旁白;話外音

　　4. Biographical:關于一個人的材料的;美國，一般的競選廣告都包括競選雙方的資料，但是在該電視廣告里，只播放了希拉里的資料，所以克氏競選團的發(fā)言人說，這次廣告具有肯定意義。

　　5. Strategy:策略

　　6. Abuse：虐待
