CNN News: 埃及選舉結果很明朗

Polls are open in the North African country of 97 million people. A three- day long election began on Monday that will determine the next president of Egypt. But experts say that’s a foregone conclusion, that the country’s

這個北非國家有9700萬人口。為期三天的選舉周一開始，將決定埃及的下一任總統(tǒng)。但專家們說，最終的結果在預料之中。

current leader, President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, is certain to win another term.

現(xiàn)任總統(tǒng)塞西肯定會連任。

This is Egypt’s third election since long time leader Hosni Mubarak was forced out of power in 2011. And that time, like several countries in the Middle East and North Africa, Egypt saw a wave of protests against its government that led to significant changes in leadership. But today, like several of those same countries, Egypt continues to struggle with economic problems, limited opportunities for its people and terrorism.

這是埃及總統(tǒng)胡斯尼·穆巴拉克在2011年被迫下臺以來的第三次選舉。當時，就像中東和北非的幾個國家一樣，埃及爆發(fā)了反對政府的抗議浪潮，導致領導層發(fā)生重大變化。但是今天，和其他幾個國家一樣，埃及繼續(xù)與經濟問題斗爭，為其人民和恐怖主義提供有限的機會。

President Sisi was first elected in 2014 and a win this week would bring his second and last four-year term. One reason why the vote is being watched worldwide is because if turnout is high, it’s possible President Sisi will try to change Egypt’s constitution so he can serve longer.

塞西總統(tǒng)于2014年首次當選，本周的勝利將帶來他的第二個四年任期。全世界都在關注投票的一個原因是，如果投票率很高，塞西總統(tǒng)可能會試圖改變埃及的憲法，這樣他就能長久地任職。
