Brazil’s leftwing president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has launched his campaign for a historic fourth term and vowed(发誓，郑重承诺) that as long as he lived(只要他活着) he would not allow the “shameless(无耻的，不要脸的)” right to return to power(重新掌权).
巴西左翼总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦已启动其历史性第四个任期的竞选活动，并誓言只要他活着，就绝不允许“无耻的”右翼重新掌权。
Addressing(向…讲话，致辞) a sea of(大量的，一片…的海洋) supporters in São Bernardo do Campo, the industrial city where his political career began nearly half a century ago, the 80-year-old politician reminded voters of the chaos and violence that unfolded during the 2018-22 presidency of his far-right predecessor(前任，前辈), Jair Bolsonaro, whose son Flávio Bolsonaro will face Lula in October’s presidential election.
在圣贝尔纳多-杜坎普——这座他近半个世纪前开始政治生涯的工业城市——面对人山人海的支持者，这位80岁的政治家提醒选民们，在其极右翼前任雅伊尔·博索纳罗2018-2022年总统任期内发生了混乱与暴力，而博索纳罗的儿子弗拉维奥·博索纳罗将在十月的总统选举中对阵卢拉。
Lula recalled(回忆起，回想起) how hundreds of thousands of citizens died during a Covid outbreak Jair Bolsonaro was accused of(被指控…) bungling(笨拙地处理，搞砸) with his anti-science policies. Gun ownership soared(猛增，飙升) as laws were relaxed, allowing criminal groups to expand their arsenals(军火库，武器库). “They handed out(分发，发放) … more than a million weapons,” Lula said, promising to dedicate a fourth term to improving education and healthcare as well as developing Brazil’s rare-earth(稀土的) deposits(矿藏，沉积物), the world’s second largest after China’s.
卢拉回顾了数十万公民在新冠疫情期间死亡，而博索纳罗被指责用其反科学政策搞砸了疫情应对。随着法律放宽，枪支拥有量飙升，使犯罪集团得以扩充其军火库。“他们发放了……超过一百万件武器，”卢拉说，并承诺将第四个任期致力于改善教育和医疗保健，以及开发巴西的稀土矿藏——其储量仅次于中国，位居世界第二。
