Good morning. It was described by many Israelis as the most consequential(影响重大的) election in their country’s history. And, as the final votes were tallied, it has delivered a result that presents Israel with a significant dilemma.(而随着最终选票统计完毕，它带来的结果让以色列陷入重大两难。)
早上好。许多以色列人把这场选举称为本国历史上影响最重大的一次。而随着最终计票结果出炉，它带来的结局让以色列陷入了一个重大两难。
Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right coalition has lost its mandate(授权；委托) while the opposition has a clear majority: but only if the Jewish Israeli opposition bloc, led by retired general Gadi Eisenkot, is prepared to make a governing pact with Palestinian Israeli parties, which have secured a historic result.(但前提是，由退役将军加迪·艾森科特领导的犹太裔反对派阵营，愿意与取得历史性战绩的巴勒斯坦裔以色列政党达成执政协议。)
本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的极右翼联盟已失去执政授权，而反对派则握有明确的多数：但前提是，由退役将军加迪·艾森科特领导的犹太裔反对派阵营，愿意与取得历史性战绩的巴勒斯坦裔以色列政党达成执政协议。
But the country that is desperate(极度渴望的) for change remains bitterly divided(严重分裂的). After a campaign mired in racism, during which Israel’s far-right demonised the Palestinian population as the enemy within, Netanyahu has gone further since Tuesday’s vote, claiming that Palestinian-led parties have “stolen the election”, despite Israeli authorities insisting there is no evidence of election fraud.(在一场深陷种族主义的竞选之后——其间以色列极右翼把巴勒斯坦民众妖魔化为内部敌人——内塔尼亚胡在周二投票后更进一步，声称巴勒斯坦人领导的政党“窃取了选举”，尽管以色列当局坚称没有选举舞弊的证据。)
但这个渴望变革的国家依然严重分裂。在一场深陷种族主义的竞选之后——其间以色列极右翼把巴勒斯坦民众妖魔化为“内部的敌人”——内塔尼亚胡在周二投票后更进一步，声称巴勒斯坦人领导的政党“窃取了选举”，尽管以色列当局坚称没有选举舞弊的证据。
