Flávio Bolsonaro is in pole position(处于领先地位) to win Brazil’s presidential election, after a far-right tsunami(海啸；此处比喻浪潮) propel(推动，驱使)led him to a shock first-round victory over the incumbent(现任者，在职者), Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, leaving progressive voters reeling(感到震惊，不知所措).
弗拉维奥·博索纳罗在巴西总统选举中占据有利位置，极右翼浪潮将他推向了首轮投票的惊人胜利，击败现任总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦，令进步派选民震惊不已。
The 45-year-old rightwing candidate received 56.1m votes to Lula’s 53.8m – 47.03% to 45.16% – meaning the 80-year-old leftwinger has a mountain to climb if he is to bounce back(恢复，反弹) in the second round on 25 October. Never, since the return of democracy to Brazil in 1985, has the first-round runner-up(第二名，亚军) managed to turn the game around(扭转局面) and win the second ballot(投票，选票).
这位45岁的右翼候选人获得5610万票，卢拉获得5380万票——得票率分别为47.03%和45.16%——这意味着80岁的左翼老将若想在10月25日的第二轮投票中东山再起，将面临巨大挑战。自1985年巴西恢复民主以来，从未有首轮落败者能够扭转局面并赢得第二轮投票。
“Miracles are possible in politics. But I don’t see that happening,” the political scientist(政治学家) Miguel Lago said of Lula’s chances of snapping back. “I don’t see Flávio losing this election now.”
“政治中奇迹是可能发生的。但我看不到这种情况会出现，”政治学家米格尔·拉戈在谈及卢拉翻盘的可能性时表示。“我现在看不到弗拉维奥会输掉这场选举。”
