那是巴西总统选举第一轮投票的前夜,罗西玛丽·蒙泰罗兴奋得睡不着觉。这位38岁的女士在亚马逊小镇穆卡雅伊的家中辗转反侧了好几个小时,天亮时才起身去投票。
“I was the first person to vote at my polling station(投票站) … I voted 22, so we got off to a positive start(开局顺利),” recalls Monteiro, as she stands in her sitting room with her two young daughters.
“我是投票站第一个投票的人……我投了22号,所以我们开局很顺利,”蒙泰罗回忆道,她正和两个年幼的女儿站在客厅里。
