[00:02.19]The polls are closed, the votes are counted, and we know who will be the next president of Venezuela. 民意調(diào)查已經(jīng)結(jié)束，投票已經(jīng)開始統(tǒng)計,而且我們知道誰會成為下一任委內(nèi)瑞拉總統(tǒng)。 [00:08.12]Same person who's held that title since 1999, his name is Hugo Chavez. 自1999年以來的同一人,他的名字就是烏戈·查韋斯。 [00:13.04]Chavez was reelected over the weekend, he'll serve another 6-year-term as the leader of the Venezuela. 查韋斯于周末再次當(dāng)選,他將成為委內(nèi)瑞拉另一個6年任期的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人。 [00:17.42]He became the youngest president in that country's history when he was first elected back in 1998. 當(dāng)1998年參加第一次被選時他成為該國歷史上最年輕的總統(tǒng)。 [00:22.29]This election was the closest for Chavez since he first came into power. 這次選舉自查韋斯第一次上臺時候是最接近的一次。 [00:27.41]There was a huge turnout, election officials in Venezuela say more than 80% of voters went to the polls. 這次參選人數(shù)眾多,委內(nèi)瑞拉選舉官員表示超過80%的選民參加投票。 [00:34.31]Chavez is considered controversial, for example, Venezuela's biggest trading partner is the United States, which Chavez speaks out against the U.S a lot and criticizes American policies. 查韋斯被認為具有爭議,例如,委內(nèi)瑞拉的最大的貿(mào)易伙伴是美國,而查韋斯則多次反對美國并批評其政策。 [00:44.53]His own policies, especially his economy ones, have raised some questions of their own. 他自己的政策,尤其是他的經(jīng)濟政策也使自己惹上了一些問題。 [00:49.55]Chavez is a firm believer in socialism, that's when the government controls its country's businesses. 查韋斯是一位社會主義堅定的信仰者,而政府則控制國家的企業(yè)。 [00:55.23]He wants to use the money that his country makes from oil to pay for social programs. 他想用自己國家從石油中賺的錢支付社會項目。 [01:00.01]Venezuela is one of the world's biggest oil producers, but 35% of the country's population lives in poverty as Paula Newton shows us things could get worse. 委內(nèi)瑞拉是世界上最大的石油生產(chǎn)國之一,但該國人口的35%生活貧困，就像寶拉·牛頓告訴我們的那樣，情況可能會變得更糟。 [01:10.29]It doesn't look like the kind of place, that's about to go broke. 看起來即將破產(chǎn)不像會在這樣的地方發(fā)生。 [01:14.08]Venezuela is the biggest producer of crude in the western hemisphere, people here rolled up and filled up for literally pennies a gallon. 委內(nèi)瑞拉是西半球最大的原油生產(chǎn)國,這里的人們靠天吃飯，每加侖油都能夠帶來財富。 [01:23.54]And as the price of a barrel has increased in the last decade, even poor Venezuelans have shared the wealth. 而隨著過去的十年里每桶原油價格的增加,委內(nèi)瑞拉人即使貧窮也能享有財富。 [01:33.35]Buying up, moving up, and logging on. 購買,升級，重新開始。 [01:36.48]Some economists warn this is a country hanging on by a physical threat. 但一些經(jīng)濟學(xué)家警告這個國家正面對命懸一線的外在威脅。 [01:41.47]It really reached the point where the current situation can't continue. 這真的到了當(dāng)前的情況不可能持續(xù)下去的地步。 [01:45.56]The problem, the socialist government of Hugo Chavez has been spending and borrowing money at record amounts on everything from building new homes like these behind me, 問題是,查韋斯的社會主義政府一直在創(chuàng)紀錄的支出并借錢，從建造像這些在我身后的新房屋, [01:55.57]even things like new refrigerator, cheap gas, microwaves, all to give to the poor in the needed of this country. 再到甚至像是新冰箱,便宜的天然氣,微波,所有給這個國家需要的窮人等等。 [02:04.43]But the spending binge using petrol profits and foreign loans could leave Venenuelans worse off in the long run. 但是使用汽油利潤和外貸的無節(jié)制消費可能對于委內(nèi)瑞拉從長遠角度而言更糟糕。 [02:13.11]Inflation is rampant, and the mighty bolivar may have to be brought down to size, in other words, devalued again. 通貨膨脹猖獗,而且強大的玻利瓦爾可能也會再次出現(xiàn)問題,換句話說,再次貶值。 [02:21.17]And for a country that relies heavily on imports, that would likely fuel more inflation already running at 30%. 而一個嚴重依賴進口的國家可能會引發(fā)更多問題，而且通貨膨脹已經(jīng)達到30%。 [02:29.38]On the street, they know that means struggling more to buy less. 在街上,他們清楚這意味著在買的更少的問題上糾結(jié)。 [02:33.47]Paula Newton, CNN, Caracas. 寶拉·牛頓,CNN,加拉加斯。
