民望

陳太參加「七一」遊行，有人說她是想競選下一屆行政長官。但她在遊行前夕強調不想用遊行來測試民望，She stressed she did not aim to hijack the July 1 protest with her appearance or use it to test her popularity。她說不想借遊行來提高民望或把曾蔭權置於不利的位置， I am not in this to boost my popularity or put Donald in a bad light。英國首相貝里雅也首次失去民望Blair loses popularity stake for the first time。Popularity是「聲望、民望」」的意思。

它的形容詞是 Popular ，即「受歡迎」，例如：He is less popular than his main rival for the first time in 12 years是「他的民望十二年來第一次比主要對手低」，We would only back the most popular candidate with a platform most acceptable to the sector是「我們只會支持政綱最為業界接受和最受歡迎的候選人」。
