Flávio Bolsonaro had hoped that by Sunday night people would be calling him the next president(下一任总统) of Brazil.
弗拉维奥·博索纳罗原本指望，到周日晚上人们就会称他为巴西下一任总统。
Instead, the far-right politician’s decision to flee to the US after losing the election and – for 58 minutes – to declare himself “Brazil’s true president-elect”, has made him a laughing stock, with Brazilian newspapers and commentators raining a barrage of scornful adjectives down on the conquered candidate.(然而，这位极右翼政客败选后逃往美国、并在58分钟里自称“巴西真正的当选总统”，结果沦为笑柄，巴西媒体和评论员对这位败军之将劈头盖脸砸下一连串讥讽之词。)
然而事与愿违：这位极右翼政客败选后逃往美国，还——在短短58分钟里——自称“巴西真正的当选总统”，结果沦为笑柄，巴西各家报纸和评论员对这位败军之将劈头盖脸地砸下一连串讥讽之词。
“If it served any purpose at all, Flávio’s foolishness liberated the democratic right from a family of coup-mongers(政变贩子), which for far too long held it hostage to(使其沦为人质) their reckless folly and irremediable(无可救药的) disdain for Brazil,” the conservative Estado de São Paulo newspaper thundered(厉声抨击) on Friday.
“如果说弗拉维奥的愚蠢之举还有哪怕一点用处，那就是把民主右翼从一个政变世家手中解放了出来——这个家族长期以来挟持着民主右翼，让其沦为他们鲁莽妄为和无可救药地蔑视巴西的牺牲品，”保守派《圣保罗州报》周五厉声评论道。
