Brazilians are going to the polls(前往投票) on Sunday in a highly unpredictable runoff in which the leftist president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva(巴西左翼总统卢拉), is attempting an unprecedented(史无前例的) comeback(逆转、东山再起) against the far-right senator Flávio Bolsonaro(巴西极右翼参议员), who won the first-round vote.
巴西人周日前往投票站，参加一场结果极难预测的第二轮选举。左翼总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦正试图上演一场史无前例的逆转，对手是在首轮投票中胜出的极右翼参议员弗拉维奥·博索纳罗。
Bolsonaro’s surprise victory despite not leading most polls made him the favourite three weeks ago, but since then Lula’s campaign has gained ground, and the two go into the contest virtually tied.(博索纳罗在多数民调中并不领先却意外获胜，这使他在三周前成为热门人选；但此后卢拉的竞选势头增强，如今两人几乎势均力敌地进入这场角逐。)

The gap between them was the narrowest ever recorded in a first round, at less than 2% of the vote, and the 80-year-old president has spent much of the runoff campaign focused on turnout – abstention reached a record high in the first round and disproportionately affects his voters – and on stoking fears over what a return to power by a member of the Bolsonaro family could mean.(两人差距不到2%的选票，是首轮有记录以来的最小差距；这位80岁的总统在决选阶段把大量精力放在投票率上——首轮弃权率创新高，且对卢拉选民影响尤甚——同时着力渲染博索纳罗家族成员重新掌权可能带来的后果。)
