巴西右翼候选人弗拉维奥·博尔索纳罗在巴西大选决战前不到两周时间里，以微弱优势领先现任总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦，这是一项新民调的结果。
Right-wing candidate Flávio Bolsonaro holds a slim lead over President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva less than two weeks before Brazil’s runoff election, a new poll showed.
据为《环球报》进行的Quaest民调显示，博尔索纳罗将获得51%的有效票（不计空白票和无效票），卢拉为49%。该领先优势处于该民调正负2个百分点的误差范围内。
Bolsonaro would receive 51% of valid votes, excluding blank and invalid ballots, to Lula’s 49%, according to a Quaest poll conducted for O Globo newspaper published Wednesday. The lead is within the poll’s margin of error of plus-or-minus 2 percentage points.
巴西将于10月25日举行投票，以选出国家的下一任领导人。博尔索纳罗是前总统雅伊尔·博尔索纳罗的儿子，他在10月4日的第一轮投票中以大约2个百分点的优势领先左翼候选人卢拉。
Brazilians will go to the polls on Oct. 25 to select the nation’s next leader. Bolsonaro, the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, finished ahead of the leftist Lula by roughly 2 points in the first round vote on Oct. 4.
巴西资产在第一轮投票结果出人意料后出现上涨，因为许多投资者认为博尔索纳罗更有可能推动削减开支，以应对该国财政状况的恶化。
Brazilian assets surged on the surprise first round result, as many investors consider Bolsonaro more likely to pursue spending cuts to address the country’s deteriorating fiscal situation.
卢拉目前正寻求巴西参议院的支持，该参议院将于周三就其提出的缩短国家工作周的提案进行投票。这位80岁的领导人曾将该提案作为竞选的核心内容，并希望该提案能够通过，以便他在选举中追赶上来。
Lula is now seeking a boost from Brazil’s Senate, which is scheduled to vote Wednesday on his proposal to shorten the country’s workweek. The 80-year-old leader made the proposal a campaign centerpiece and is banking on its passage as he seeks to make up ground in the race.
