Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the Brazilian president, has staged(上演,发起) a dramatic election fightback(选举反击), defeating his far-right(极右翼的) opponent, Flávio Bolsonaro, to claim a historic fourth term(赢得历史性的第四个任期) in power.
巴西总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦上演了一场戏剧性的选举反击战,击败极右翼对手弗拉维奥·博索纳罗,历史性地第四次执掌政权。
With nearly 99% of votes counted the 80-year-old leftist(左翼人士) received 51.75% of the vote to his 45-year-old rival(对手,竞争者)’s 48.25%.
在近99%的选票统计完毕后,这位80岁的左翼候选人得票率为51.75%,而45岁的对手得票率为48.25%。
Lula narrowly(以微弱差距地) lost the first round of the election to Bolsonaro in early October, casting his political future into doubt and plunging(使陷入) progressive Brazilians into three weeks of despair. Never, since the return of democracy in the 1980s, has the first round runner-up(亚军,第二名) won the second vote.
10月初,卢拉在首轮选举中以微弱劣势输给博索纳罗,这使他的政治前途蒙上阴影,也让进步派巴西人陷入长达三周的绝望。自上世纪80年代恢复民主以来,还从未有首轮落败者在第二轮投票中获胜。
