Moon Jae-in Wins South Korea's Presidential Election

文在寅贏得韓國(guó)總統(tǒng)大選

In South Korea, Moon Jae-in, who wants a softer approach to North Korea, has won the country's presidential election.

希望對(duì)朝鮮采取更溫和手段的文在寅贏得了韓國(guó)總統(tǒng)大選。

Moon told supporters, "I will be president for all South Koreans." He declared victory after the two other major candidates conceded defeat.

文在寅對(duì)支持者表示,“我將成為所有韓國(guó)國(guó)民的總統(tǒng)。”在其他兩名主要候選人承認(rèn)敗選之后,他宣布勝利。

The East Asian nation has been sharply divided as former president Park Geun-hye faces a trial on corruption charges.

這個(gè)東亞國(guó)家在前總統(tǒng)樸槿惠面臨腐敗指控的審判之際陷入了嚴(yán)重的分歧。

Moon won about 41 percent of the vote. Hong Joon-pyo came in second with 23 percent, and Ahn Cheol-soo received 21 percent.

文在寅獲得了大約41%的選票。洪準(zhǔn)杓(Hong Joon-pyo)以23%的選票排名第二,安哲秀(Ahn Cheol-soo)拿到了21%的選票。

In the South Korean election system, the candidate getting the most votes wins the presidency even if it is not a majority.

根據(jù)韓國(guó)的選舉制度,得票最多的候選人贏得選舉,即使其所獲選票沒(méi)有超過(guò)半數(shù)。

Moon will be sworn-in on Wednesday as soon as the vote count becomes official.

一旦計(jì)票在周三被證實(shí),文在寅就會(huì)宣誓就職。

The U.S. State Department in Washington said it is looking forward to continuing 'close, constructive, deep cooperation' with South Korea's new leader.

美國(guó)國(guó)務(wù)院表示期待同韓國(guó)新任領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人繼續(xù)維持“緊密、具有建設(shè)性和深度的合作。”

A lawmaker and presidential aide

律師和總統(tǒng)助手

Moon Jae-in is a former human rights lawyer. His parents fled North Korea during the Korean War.

文在寅曾是人權(quán)律師。他的父母在朝鮮戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)期間逃離了朝鮮。

Moon lost in a close vote to Park in the 2012 presidential election. As a member of the National Assembly, he led the main opposition party during the presidency of Park Geun-hye.

在2012年總統(tǒng)大選中,文在寅在一場(chǎng)跟樸槿惠勢(shì)均力敵的選舉中敗北。作為國(guó)民議會(huì)議員,他在樸槿惠任總統(tǒng)期間領(lǐng)導(dǎo)了主要的反對(duì)黨。

Moon gained popularity among supporters by proposing policies such as increasing government spending for jobs and education.

文在寅提出的政策受到了支持者的歡迎,這些政策包括增加政府在就業(yè)和教育上的支出。

However, conservative voters question his policies on North Korea and criticize him as being weak on national security.

然而,保守派選民質(zhì)疑他對(duì)朝鮮的政策,并批評(píng)他在國(guó)家安全問(wèn)題上過(guò)于軟弱。

Moon has called for a two-track policy toward the North. He said he wants to support talks while at the same time continuing pressure on the North Korean government to change. Observers say his proposal is similar to the Sunshine Policy of Engagement started in the early 2000s by then-President Kim Dae-jung.

文在寅呼吁對(duì)朝鮮采取雙軌政策。他表示自己既支持談判,同時(shí)也要繼續(xù)要對(duì)朝鮮政府施壓迫使其做出改變。觀察家認(rèn)為,他的提議跟21世紀(jì)初時(shí)任總統(tǒng)金大中發(fā)起的“陽(yáng)光政策”類(lèi)似。

Attempts to build trust between the two Koreas ended with North Korea's nuclear and missile tests early last year. South Korea answered with sanctions on the North and by closing the Kaesong industrial complex, the biggest economic link between the two sides.

在朝韓之間建立信任的企圖隨著朝鮮去年進(jìn)行的核武器和導(dǎo)彈試驗(yàn)而夭折。韓國(guó)以對(duì)朝鮮制裁作為回應(yīng),并關(guān)閉了開(kāi)城工業(yè)園,這是兩國(guó)之間最大的經(jīng)濟(jì)聯(lián)系。

South Korea also has increased military exercises with the United States in an effort to pressure the North to stop its weapons program.

韓國(guó)還加強(qiáng)了同美國(guó)的軍事演戲,以迫使朝鮮停止其武器計(jì)劃。

During the presidential campaign, Moon criticized that policy, saying it resulted in faster nuclear and missile development by the North.

文在寅在總統(tǒng)競(jìng)選期間批評(píng)了這一政策,稱(chēng)其結(jié)果就是朝鮮更快發(fā)展核武器和導(dǎo)彈項(xiàng)目。

On Tuesday, Moon said the next South Korean president should work with the U.S. and China diplomatically. The goal would be to return North Korea to negotiations to solve the nuclear issue, he said.

文在寅周二表示,下任韓國(guó)總統(tǒng)應(yīng)該跟中美在外交方面合作,目標(biāo)就是讓朝鮮重回談判桌以解決核問(wèn)題。

Also, Moon will have to deal with the deployment of the U.S. THAAD missile defense system. U.S. President Donald Trump has said South Korea should pay some of the cost of the system worth more than $1 billion.

此外,文在寅必須處理美國(guó)薩德導(dǎo)彈防御系統(tǒng)的部署。美國(guó)總統(tǒng)川普表示,韓國(guó)應(yīng)該承擔(dān)這一價(jià)值超過(guò)10億美元的系統(tǒng)的部分費(fèi)用。

South Korea has said it already has met the conditions of the agreement.

韓國(guó)曾稱(chēng)該國(guó)已經(jīng)滿足了協(xié)議條件。

Presidential election held early

總統(tǒng)大選提前舉行

The presidential election was held months earlier than planned this year because former president Park Geun-hye was removed from office.

由于前總統(tǒng)樸槿惠被解職,這次總統(tǒng)大選比今年原計(jì)劃提前了數(shù)月。

Park has been caught up in a corruption scandal involving a long-time friend and millions of dollars in money from large Korean corporations.

樸槿惠陷入了一起腐敗丑聞,該丑聞涉及一位長(zhǎng)期密友和來(lái)自韓國(guó)大型企業(yè)的數(shù)百萬(wàn)美元資金。

After the news was first reported, hundreds of thousands of South Koreans took part in protests last fall, calling on her to resign.

該新聞被首次報(bào)道之后,數(shù)十萬(wàn)韓國(guó)人去年秋天參加抗議活動(dòng)呼吁她辭職。

Park's removal from office hurt the country's main conservative political party. The party split into two groups: one opposed to Park and the other that supports her.

樸槿惠的下臺(tái)傷害了該國(guó)的主要保守政黨。該黨分裂成兩派:一派反對(duì)樸槿惠,另一派支持她。

Park is the daughter of former South Korean President Park Chung-hee.

樸槿惠是韓國(guó)前總統(tǒng)樸和熙的女兒。

Many older voters continue to support the national defense policies of the conservative parties. One such voter, Lee bong-ho said this.

很多老選民繼續(xù)支持保守黨派的國(guó)防政策。其中一名選民李邦浩這樣說(shuō)道:

"I've been supporting conservatives because I consider stability. Looking back at previous administrations, conservatives secured stability."

“考慮到穩(wěn)定,我一直支持保守派?;仡櫄v任政府,保守派確保了穩(wěn)定。”
