Mainstream politicians around Europe have expressed alarm after the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) swept to a historic state election victory in Germany, while nationalist figures cheered the result as a mandate for change.(欧洲主流政界人士对德国选择党历史性胜选表示震惊，而民族主义人士则欢呼这是变革的授权。)
欧洲各地的主流政界人士对德国极右翼政党德国选择党（AfD）在州选举中取得历史性胜利表示震惊，而民族主义人士则欢呼这一结果，认为这是变革的授权。
While falling just short of(差一点，未达到) an absolute majority, the AfD surged(激增，猛涨) into first place in the Saxony-Anhalt state election on Sunday, exit polls showed, putting the far right within reach of(在可及范围内) power at the state level for the first time since the second world war.
尽管未能获得绝对多数，但周日的出口民调显示，德国选择党在萨克森-安哈尔特州选举中跃居首位，使极右翼自二战以来首次有望在州级层面掌权。
Spain’s socialist prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, told a party gathering in Madrid on Monday that the result showed that “the extremist threat, largely thanks to the surrender of the traditional right, is gaining ground in Europe and in the world”.(西班牙首相桑切斯表示，极端主义威胁因传统右翼的投降而在欧洲和世界得势。)
西班牙社会党首相佩德罗·桑切斯周一在马德里的一次党内集会上表示，这一结果显示出“极端主义威胁——很大程度上得益于传统右翼的投降——正在欧洲和世界范围内得势”。
