周末的巴西选举不仅让雅伊尔·博索纳罗的长子弗拉维奥·博索纳罗在总统竞选中领先,也凸显了这位前总统在打造政治王朝方面走得有多远。
As his far-right senator son heads into a runoff(第二轮选举,决选) against the leftist incumbent(现任者), Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva(巴西现任总统卢拉), a sweeping(压倒性的,广泛的) far-right victory in congressional races also secured seats(赢得席位) for Jair Bolsonaro’s wife, two of his sons and one of his brothers.
当他的极右翼参议员儿子即将与左翼现任总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦进入第二轮对决时,极右翼在国会选举中的压倒性胜利也为雅伊尔·博索纳罗的妻子、两个儿子和一个兄弟赢得了席位。
Few in the family have spent much time working outside politics since the patriarch(族长,家长) led the way(率先,带头) four decades ago, but the offices they now hold have had a significant upgrade(提升,升级).
自四十年前家族族长率先步入政坛以来,家族中很少有人长期从事政治以外的工作,但他们如今担任的职位已有了显著提升。
