CNN News: 馬克龍和勒龐將角逐總統(tǒng)

The European nation of France is one step closer to having a new leader. Polls closed last night in the first round of its 2017 presidential election.

歐洲國家法國離新總統(tǒng)的誕生更近一步.昨天晚上,法國總統(tǒng)選舉首輪投票結(jié)束.

It’s been divisive. And the nation is on edge following a terrorist attack that killed a policeman last week in the heart of Paris. ISIS claimed responsibility for that.

但這一事態(tài)并不和諧. 因為上周在首都巴黎發(fā)生恐怖襲擊事件,導(dǎo)致一名警察死亡. IS稱對此事件負責(zé).

The nation’s current president, Francois Hollande, is eligible for a second term, but the socialist leader is not seeking, an unusual decision, though his approval ratings have been low for years. So, who he is?

美國現(xiàn)任總統(tǒng),弗朗索瓦•奧朗德有資格獲得連任,但這不是社會黨領(lǐng)袖所希望的，盡管他的支持率很低。那么,這位領(lǐng)袖將是誰?

The two candidates who appear to set to face each other on a runoff are Emmanuel Macron and marine Le Pen.

將面對面進行競選的兩位競選人士馬克龍和勒龐。

Macron is a centrist candidate who’s socially liberal. He has promised that if he’s elected, he’ll improve the nation’s economy and security and he’ll work to support the European Union.

馬克龍是“非左非右”的“前進”運動候選人。馬克龍承諾如果自己當(dāng)選，會提高國家的經(jīng)濟和安全,會努力支持歐盟。

和得票領(lǐng)先，將進入總統(tǒng)選舉第二輪投票。

Le Pen is the far right candidate, a conservative. She has promised that if she’s elected, she’ll put a temporary ban on legal immigration to French. She’ll close Islamist mosques and she’ll take France out of the European Union.

極右翼政黨“國民陣線”候選人瑪麗娜•勒龐，承諾如果自己當(dāng)選，會暫時禁止合法移民法國，關(guān)閉伊斯蘭清真寺，同時讓法國脫離歐盟。

What’s interesting here is that neither of the country’s major traditional parties had a candidate advanced to the second round of elections. That vote is scheduled to take place on May 2nd.

但有趣的是，法國主要的傳統(tǒng)黨派均沒有候選人進入第二輪選舉。預(yù)計下一次選票將于5月2日開始。
