Four days before his stunning(令人震惊的) electoral comeback(选举东山再起), Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Brazil’s president, got his first smartphone.
在令人震惊地赢得选举、东山再起的前四天，巴西总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦才拥有了他的第一部智能手机。
Lula, who turned 81 last Tuesday, had long said he wanted to avoid an endless stream of calls during his rare moments off, and he began his presidential campaign by sticking to an old habit: using aides’ phones – only when necessary.(卢拉早就说过想避开没完没了的电话，竞选之初仍保持老习惯：只用助手的手机。)
上周二刚满81岁的卢拉早就说过，他想在难得的休息时间里避开没完没了的电话，因此他在总统竞选之初仍保持一个老习惯：只在必要时用助手的手机。
Then he suffered an unexpected first-round defeat to the far-right senator Flávio Bolsonaro, who had neither his father Jair Bolsonaro’s charisma nor much of a record as a two–decade legislator – and Lula realised he had lost both in the ballot box and in the digital arena.(他意外首轮败给弗拉维奥·博索纳罗，意识到自己在投票箱和数字战场都输了。)
后来，他意外地在首轮投票中败给了极右翼参议员弗拉维奥·博索纳罗——此人既没有父亲雅伊尔·博索纳罗的魅力，也没有多少二十年议员生涯的建树——卢拉意识到自己不仅在投票箱前失利，也在数字战场上败下阵来。
