France loves a battle-scarred(饱经战火的,伤痕累累的) survivor. Charles de Gaulle, François Mitterrand and Jacques Chirac clawed their way back(艰难地爬回来,奋力重返) from political failure to become presidents of the republic. There is a significant chance that Marine Le Pen will be next.(玛丽娜·勒庞很有可能成为下一个。)
法国人钟爱身经百战的幸存者。夏尔·戴高乐、弗朗索瓦·密特朗和雅克·希拉克都曾从政治失败中挣扎崛起,最终成为共和国总统。玛丽娜·勒庞很有可能成为下一个。
Now that the Paris appeal court has unshackled(解除束缚,使自由) her from an electoral ban for fraud, the far-right veteran has double appeal in the race for the French presidency next year. She will run, as always, as an outsider and a scourge(祸害,鞭挞者) of the political elites – despite continuously holding electoral office since 1998. She can also now pose as(摆出……的姿态,冒充) a “miraculous survivor”, a “mother courage” and “a battling granny”, as senior French political figures, including former ministers, described her to me during recent conversations in Paris.
如今,巴黎上诉法院解除了她因欺诈罪而受到的选举禁令,这位极右翼老将在明年法国总统竞选中拥有了双重吸引力。她将一如既往地以局外人和政治精英的鞭挞者身份参选——尽管自1998年以来她一直担任民选公职。她现在还可以摆出“奇迹幸存者”“勇敢母亲”和“战斗奶奶”的姿态,正如包括前部长在内的法国政界资深人物最近在巴黎与我交谈时所描述的那样。
Le Pen will be a much more formidable(强大的,令人敬畏的) candidate than her young understudy(替补,候补演员) Jordan Bardella might have been. The other candidates were wary of Bardella, but they did not fear him.(其他候选人虽然对巴德拉保持警惕,但并不惧怕他。) They do fear a resurrected Le Pen.
勒庞将比她的年轻替补乔丹·巴德拉可能成为的候选人要强大得多。其他候选人虽然对巴德拉保持警惕,但并不惧怕他。他们确实害怕一个死而复生的勒庞。
