New Zealand voters sent the two major parties a clear message last night. They expect more.(他们期待更多。)
昨晚，新西兰选民向两大主要政党发出了明确信号：他们期待更多。
In a resounding rejection of the incrementalist political managerialism that has characterised the governments led by the major parties over the past decades, seven in 10 voters passed over Labour, and the same number skipped National.(选民以压倒性姿态拒绝了近几十年来主导政坛的渐进式政治管理主义：十名选民中有七名没有投给工党，同样比例的人跳过了国家党。) Between them(合计；两者加起来), the two parties took just over half the party vote, 58% on election night. It was the lowest combined(合计的；联合的) major party vote ever.
选民以压倒性姿态拒绝了近几十年来主导政坛的渐进式政治管理主义：十名选民中有七名没有投给工党，同样比例的人跳过了国家党。两党合计仅获得略超半数的政党票，选举夜为58%，创下两大党合计得票率的历史最低纪录。
Instead, a large proportion of the electorate(全体选民) shifted their party vote to the more transformationist(变革主义的) minor parties, those with a clearer sense of purpose(使命感；目标感) and vision for the country. Act and the Greens both recorded their best results ever. New Zealand First had its best since 2002. Te Pāti Māori held more seats than expected. Opportunity crossed the 5% threshold(门槛；阈值) for the first time, to win seats in parliament, and may be a kingmaker(造王者；能左右结果的关键人物) come 27 November, when the count is finalised.
相反，很大一部分选民将政党票投给了更具变革色彩的小党——那些对国家有更清晰使命感和愿景的政党。行动党和绿党均创下历史最佳成绩。新西兰优先党取得自2002年以来最好结果。毛利党保有的席位超出预期。机遇党首次跨过5%门槛，赢得议会席位，并可能在11月27日最终计票时成为造王者。
