CNN News: 馬克龍當(dāng)選法國(guó)最年輕的總統(tǒng)

First story this Monday, election results from France. The European country went to the polls yesterday and its government confirmed last night that 39-year-old Emmanuel Macron would become the nation`s next leader. Early results showed him leading with more than 60 percent of the vote.

周一頭條新聞，法國(guó)選舉最終結(jié)果。上周日，法國(guó)舉行總統(tǒng)大選，晚上，法國(guó)政府承認(rèn)39歲的馬克龍將會(huì)成為下一任國(guó)家領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人。之前的選舉結(jié)果顯示，馬克龍以超過60%的結(jié)果領(lǐng)先。

He`s the youngest person ever elected in France. He was considered a centrist candidate who`s socially liberal and he defeated a strongly conservative candidate, 48-year-old Marine Le Pen.

馬克龍是法國(guó)有史以來最年輕的總統(tǒng)。作為中間派的候選人，馬克龍擊敗了極右翼領(lǐng)袖48歲的瑪麗娜 勒龐。

The election was divisive. Neither candidate in yesterday’s runoff was from a major party. Analysts say that shows many French felt the traditional parties had left them behind.

選舉造成分歧。昨日參選的兩位候選人均不來自法國(guó)主要的正派。分析人士表示，很多法國(guó)民眾表示，傳統(tǒng)的政黨已經(jīng)被遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)的落在了后面。

One big difference between the candidates was that Macron, who`s never held elective office, strongly supported the European Union. Le Pen wanted France to leave it. That`s a major issue for many Europeans, following Britain`s vote to leave the union last year. France`s challenges include slow economic growth, high unemployment, immigration and terrorism. Following his victory, Macron promised to work toward unity in the country.

兩位候選人的主要區(qū)別在于，從未參加過選舉的馬克龍強(qiáng)烈的支持歐盟。但候選人勒龐則希望法國(guó)脫離歐盟。由于去年英國(guó)決定脫歐，因此脫歐對(duì)于歐洲國(guó)家成為一個(gè)重大的問題。法國(guó)面臨的問題是經(jīng)濟(jì)增速緩慢、高失業(yè)率、移民以及恐怖主義問題。在當(dāng)選時(shí)，馬克龍承諾會(huì)努力促進(jìn)國(guó)家團(tuán)結(jié)。
