Israel’s election appeared to have delivered no clear winner on Tuesday night after a historic turnout by voters for an election described by some as the most consequential in the country’s history, and marked by a record participation by Israeli Arab voters.(周二晚间，以色列大选似乎未能产生明确的赢家，此前选民投票率创下历史新高，有人称这是该国历史上最关键的一次选举，以色列阿拉伯裔选民的参与度也创下纪录。)
周二晚间，以色列大选似乎未能产生明确的赢家。此次选举投票率创下历史新高，有人称其为该国历史上最关键的一次选举，以色列阿拉伯裔选民的参与度也创下纪录。
Exit polls published on Tuesday evening suggested that the opposition bloc of parties led by the former chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Gadi Eisenkot, would win most seats in the Knesset by a slight margin, edging out Benjamin Netanyahu’s right and far-right coalition despite the prime minister’s Likud emerging as the largest party.(周二晚间公布的出口民调显示，由以色列国防军前总参谋长加迪·艾森科特领导的反对党阵营将以微弱优势赢得议会多数席位，险胜内塔尼亚胡的右翼及极右翼联盟，尽管总理的利库德党成为议会第一大党。)

The result is likely to set off weeks of jockeying over who can form a coalition government before a prime minister is declared or another round of elections is called, but represents a sharp electoral rebuke to Netanyahu.(这一结果很可能引发数周角力，各方争夺组阁权，直到总理人选确定或宣布再次大选；但它也代表选民对内塔尼亚胡的严厉斥责。)
这一结果很可能引发长达数周的角力，各方争夺组阁权，直到总理人选确定或宣布再次举行选举；但无论如何，这对内塔尼亚胡而言都是一次严厉的选举斥责。
