Venezuelan President Wins Second Six-Year Term

委內(nèi)瑞拉總統(tǒng)贏得第二次六年任期

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro won re-election in a disputed vote on Sunday.

委內(nèi)瑞拉總統(tǒng)馬杜羅周日在一場爭議投票中贏得連任。

The result led his main political opponents to call for another vote to prevent a national crisis.

這一結(jié)果導致他的主要政治對手要求再次投票以防止國家危機。

Venezuela's National Election Council announced that Maduro won nearly 68 percent of the votes Sunday. It said he defeated Henri Falcon by more than 40 points.

委內(nèi)瑞拉全國選舉委員會宣布馬杜羅在周日的選舉中贏得了68%的選票。該委員會稱馬杜羅以領(lǐng)先40多個百分點的優(yōu)勢擊敗了亨利·法爾孔(Henri Falcon)。

Falcon accused the Maduro government of buying votes and dirty tricks to increase the number of poor Venezuelans voting. Falcon refused to recognize the results, and said the election "lacks legitimacy." Falcon told supporters that he will fight on instead of joining others in exile.

法爾孔指責馬杜羅政府通過賄選和骯臟伎倆來提高委內(nèi)瑞拉窮人的投票量。法爾孔拒絕承認這一選舉結(jié)果，并稱選舉“缺乏合法性。”法爾孔對支持者表示，他將會選擇戰(zhàn)斗，而不是加入流亡者的行列。

Third-place finisher Javier Bertucci agreed on the need for new elections. Venezuelan officials say Bertucci won around 11 percent of the vote. He urged the president against being a candidate in a re-vote. Bertucci warned that if Maduro pressed forward, Venezuela would explode before his new six-year term begins in January.

第三優(yōu)勝者哈維爾·貝爾圖奇(Javier Bertucci)也認為需要重新進行選舉。委內(nèi)瑞拉官員稱，貝爾圖奇贏得了大約11%的選票。他強烈反對馬杜羅在重新選舉中成為候選人。貝爾圖奇警告稱，如果馬杜羅向前推進，委內(nèi)瑞拉會在他明年1月開始的新一輪六年任期前爆發(fā)。

International pressures

國際壓力

Maduro's disputed victory is likely to raise international pressure on the Venezuelan leader. On Monday, the United States government announced economic sanctions to punish Venezuela for what officials called its "fraudulent" election. President Donald Trump signed an order that bars Americans from dealing with Venezuela's oil industry.

馬杜羅富含爭議的勝利可能會增加委內(nèi)瑞拉領(lǐng)導人的國際壓力。美國政府周一宣布實施經(jīng)濟制裁以懲罰委內(nèi)瑞拉在美國官員口中所謂的“欺詐性”選舉。川普總統(tǒng)簽署了一項命令禁止美國人涉足委內(nèi)瑞拉的石油行業(yè)。

The European Union and some Latin American countries also warned that the presidential election was not fair.

歐盟和一些拉美國家也警告稱這次總統(tǒng)選舉不公平。

Chilean president Sebastian Pinera, said, "Venezuela's elections do not meet minimum standards of true democracy." He added that, "Chile does not recognize these elections." Panama's government also said it would not recognize the results.

智利總統(tǒng)皮內(nèi)拉表示：“委內(nèi)瑞拉的選舉不符合真正民主的最低標準。”他補充說，“智利不承認這次選舉。”巴拿馬政府也表示不會承認這次選舉結(jié)果。

But Cuba and El Salvador, two allies of Venezuela, sent their congratulations on the vote.

但是委內(nèi)瑞拉的兩個盟友古巴和薩爾瓦多對選舉表示祝賀。

Venezuela's economic crisis

委內(nèi)瑞拉的經(jīng)濟危機

Maduro called for discussions with his defeated opponents, but he showed no sign of wanting new elections. He told supporters, "It doesn't faze me when they say I'm a dictator."

馬杜羅呼吁同反對派進行商討，但是他沒有表現(xiàn)出想要重新選舉的跡象。他對支持者表示，“他們稱我是獨裁者并未讓我感到慌亂。”

The Venezuelan leader promised to repair an economy he says has been damaged by Colombia and the U.S.

這位委內(nèi)瑞拉領(lǐng)導人承諾修復被哥倫比亞和美國損害的經(jīng)濟。

In the past two years, more than 1 million Venezuelans have fled to neighboring countries as the value of the national currency dropped.

在過去兩年里，由于本國貨幣貶值，超過100萬委內(nèi)瑞拉人逃到了鄰國。

Venezuela's oil production — the source of almost all of its overseas earnings — has collapsed to its lowest level. And U.S. government sanctions have made it impossible for Venezuela to renegotiate its debts.

委內(nèi)瑞拉的石油生產(chǎn)已經(jīng)奔潰到歷史最低水平，而這幾乎是委內(nèi)瑞拉所有海外收入的來源。美國政府的制裁使得委內(nèi)瑞拉無法重新談判債務。
