Shortly after his controversial speech to the United Nations general assembly in September, Donald Trump gathered a dozen like-minded Latin American leaders and boasted that rightwing candidates had won all seven presidential elections held in the region since he began his second term.(九月，特朗普在联合国大会发表争议性演讲后不久，召集了十多位志同道合的拉美领导人，并夸口说自他第二任期开始以来，该地区七场总统选举中右翼候选人均获胜。)
九月，唐纳德·特朗普在联合国大会上发表争议性演讲后不久，便召集了十多位志同道合的拉美领导人，并夸口说自他第二任期开始以来，该地区举行的七场总统选举中，右翼候选人均获胜。
“Everybody I’ve endorse(支持，背书)d has won,” the US president said in New York to most of the leaders of the Shield of the Americas(美洲之盾：美国主导的反贩毒集团联盟), an anti-drug cartel coalition(联盟，联合政府) of 15 countries governed by the right or far right(极右翼).
“我支持的每个人都赢了，”这位美国总统在纽约对“美洲之盾”的大多数领导人说道。该组织是一个由15个右翼或极右翼政府组成的反贩毒集团联盟。
Those electoral victories – and the US takeover(接管，收购) of Venezuela after capturing Nicolás Maduro – have left just six Latin American countries under leftwing governments: regional heavyweight(重量级人物/国家)s Brazil and Mexico, small Uruguay and Guatemala, and the isolated(孤立的) regime(政权，政体)s of Cuba and Nicaragua.
这些选举胜利——以及美国在抓获尼古拉斯·马杜罗后对委内瑞拉的接管——使得拉美仅剩六个国家仍由左翼政府执政：地区大国巴西和墨西哥、小国乌拉圭和危地马拉，以及孤立的古巴和尼加拉瓜政权。
