圣保罗/圣巴巴拉-杜埃斯特,巴西,10月3日——巴西总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦与参议员弗拉维奥·博索纳罗于周六结束了各自的竞选活动,为周日举行的首轮总统选举做准备。尽管民调显示很可能需要举行第二轮投票,两人仍对获胜充满信心。
SAO PAULO/SANTA BARBARA D'OESTE, Brazil, Oct 3 - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Senator Flavio Bolsonaro wrapped up their campaigns on Saturday ahead of Sunday's first-round presidential election, each expressing confidence of victory despite polls pointing to a likely runoff.
卢拉在圣保罗举行了游行以结束其连任竞选,吸引了大批支持者;博索纳罗则参加了在圣保罗州圣巴巴拉-杜埃斯特和阿梅里卡纳举行的摩托车车队活动,随后又在里约热内卢举行了集会。
Lula ended his re-election campaign with a march through Sao Paulo that drew large crowds of supporters, while Bolsonaro took part in a motorcycle caravan through Santa Barbara d'Oeste and Americana in Sao Paulo state and later rallied in Rio de Janeiro.
卢拉阵营称此次集会的参与人数创下了纪录,超过了其2022年竞选收官时的规模。组织者表示,约有15万名支持者挤满了从保利斯塔大道到罗斯福广场之间长达两公里的奥古斯塔大街,这条街道是巴西最大城市中传统的政治集会场所。
Lula's camp hailed the event as a record turnout, larger than the closing rally of his 2022 campaign. Organizers said some 150,000 supporters filled the two-kilometer stretch of Augusta Street between Paulista Avenue and Roosevelt Square, a traditional stage for political demonstrations in Brazil's largest city.
卢拉在竞选车辆上发表讲话时称,周日的选举是“民主与野蛮”之间的抉择。这位左翼领导人所属的劳工党负责人埃迪尼奥·席尔瓦指出,如此高的参与度反映出卢拉的势头正日益强劲。
Speaking from a campaign vehicle, Lula called Sunday's election a choice between "democracy and barbarism." The head of the leftist leader's Workers' Party, Edinho Silva, said the turnout reflected growing momentum for Lula.
“与其他拉美国家近期出现的右翼浪潮不同,在巴西我们看到的是有利于我们的浪潮,”席尔瓦说道。
"Unlike other Latin American countries, where we saw a right-wing wave at the end, here in Brazil we're seeing a wave in our favor," Silva said.
右翼参议员博索纳罗则呼吁支持者踊跃投票,并预测自己能在首轮选举中获胜。
Right-wing Senator Bolsonaro urged supporters to turn out to vote and predicted a first-round win.
“我坚信一切条件都已具备,我们定能在首轮胜出,”这位议员说道。
"I am convinced that everything is in place for us to win this election in the first round," the lawmaker said.
照片显示,弗拉维奥手持一块写有其父、前总统雅伊尔·博索纳罗头像的标语牌。雅伊尔·博索纳罗因企图推翻2022年败给卢拉的选举结果而被判有罪,目前正遭软禁。
Flavio was photographed holding a placard bearing the image of his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is under house arrest after being convicted of attempting to overturn the 2022 election result, which he lost to Lula.
如果周日首轮投票中没有任何候选人获得超过50%的有效选票(不含空白票和无效票),得票率最高的两位候选人将于10月25日进入第二轮决选。
If no candidate wins more than 50% of valid votes -- which exclude blank and null ballots -- in Sunday's first-round vote, the two frontrunners advance to a second-round runoff on October 25.
