卢拉在首轮落败后赢得前所未有的第四个任期,在决选中击败弗拉维奥·博尔索纳罗,使巴西继续保持左翼大本营的地位。

Lula won an unprecedented fourth term after losing the first round, beating Flavio Bolsonaro in a run-off and keeping Brazil as a leftist stronghold.

他的职业生涯跨越贫困、工会工作、入狱和重大东山再起,支持者赞扬他“爱护穷人”并捍卫民主。

His career spans poverty, union work, prison and a major comeback, with supporters praising his “love for the poor” and defence of democracy.

他面临对犯罪、腐败和债务的批评,但他的“家庭补助”福利计划和社会成就仍是其政治遗产的核心。

He faces criticism over crime, corruption and debt, but his Bolsa Familia welfare plan and social gains remain central to his legacy.

AI生成 里约热内卢——巴西总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦获准连任前所未有的第四个任期,他曾将一生的经历比作奇迹。

AI generated RIO DE JANEIRO – Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Brazil’s president granted an unprecedented fourth term in office, once likened the events of his life to a miracle.

这位左翼政治巨人创造了历史,成为巴西首位在首轮落败后通过决选赢得总统大选的人。

The titan of the political left made history by becoming the first person to win a presidential run-off after losing the first round in Brazil.

他的惊人胜利源于一段漫长而传奇的政治生涯,始于金属工人工会的基层,甚至包括入狱服刑的经历。他走过了一条通往第四次当选的崎岖道路。

His shock win follows a long and storied political career, beginning in the bowels of a metalworkers’ trade union and even including stints behind bars. He charted a rocky road to his fourth election victory.

关于这位近81岁高龄领导人能否胜任工作的质疑,促使卢拉在竞选途中做深蹲和慢跑,以证明他比以往任何时候都更强壮。

Questions about his ability to do the job at almost 81 encouraged Lula to do squats and jog along the campaign trail to prove that he was fitter than ever.

10月初首轮投票中意外屈居弗拉维奥·博尔索纳罗之后,卢拉振作精神,投入到充满活力的决选竞选中。

Initially startled by his second-place finish to Flavio Bolsonaro earlier in October, Lula dusted himself off and launched into an energetic run-off campaign.

他在最后关头加强了社交媒体运营,发布自拍视频,并首次购买了手机。

He upped his social media game at the eleventh hour, posting selfie videos and buying a cellphone for the first time.

这一转变凸显了他与巴西这个极度依赖网络、严重两极分化的国家之间存在的某种脱节,距离他首次当选已过去14年。

The shift highlighted a certain disconnect with his country’s extremely online, deeply polarised population, 14 years after he was first elected.

他的胜利使拉美最大国家继续保持左翼大本营地位,这在美国总统唐纳德·特朗普倡导的地区性右转浪潮中显得格外突出。

His victory preserves Latin America’s largest country as a leftist stronghold amid a regional lurch to the right championed by US President Donald Trump.

贫困、总统、入狱 卢拉是巴西政坛四十多年来的标志性人物,他从贫困中崛起登上总统宝座,跌入耻辱深渊并入狱服刑,随后在近四年前再次从政治废墟中崛起重掌大权。

Poverty, presidency, prison Lula, a defining figure in Brazilian politics over four decades, rose from poverty to the presidency, fell into disgrace and was jailed, before once again rising from the political ashes when he returned to power almost four years ago.

他的首轮竞选活动着重强调个人经历与政治遗产,批评人士认为这误判了疲惫不堪的巴西选民真正想听到的内容。

His first-round campaign focused heavily on his life story and legacy, which critics said was a misreading of what weary Brazilians wanted to hear.

这位总统出身贫寒,是巴西东北部干旱的伯南布哥州一个文盲农民家庭八个孩子中的老七。

The president grew up in deep poverty, the seventh of eight children in a family of illiterate farmers in the arid north-eastern state of Pernambuco.

他在成为金属工人和工会活动家之前,曾当过擦鞋童和花生小贩。20世纪60年代,他在一次工伤事故中失去了一根手指。

He worked as a shoeshine boy and peanut vendor before becoming a metalworker and trade unionist. In the 1960s, he lost a finger in a workplace accident.

在三次竞选总统失败后,卢拉于2003年终于入主巴西利亚总统府,并于2006年成功连任。

After losing three presidential bids, Lula finally entered the presidential palace in Brasilia in 2003 and was re-elected in 2006.

2010年卸任时,他作为蓝领英雄离任,其执政期间凭借大宗商品驱动的经济繁荣,帮助3000万人摆脱了贫困。

He left office in 2010 as a blue-collar hero who presided over a commodity-based economic boom that helped lift 30 million people out of poverty.

大规模腐败丑闻缠身卢拉及其政党,引发的一波愤怒情绪将雅伊尔·博尔索纳罗推上了2018年的总统宝座。

Massive corruption scandals haunted Lula and his party, fuelling a wave of disgust that propelled Jair Bolsonaro into the presidency in 2018.

卢拉在大选前入狱,直到指控因程序理由被撤销,且该案主审法官被认定有偏见。

Lula was jailed before the election until the charges were annulled on procedural grounds and the lead judge on the case was found to be biased.

然而,卢拉并未获得无罪宣告,该丑闻导致巴西社会撕裂持续加剧。

However, Lula was not exonerated and the scandal contributed to enduring polarisation in Brazil.

博尔索纳罗的总统任期带来了更多撕裂,到了2022年大选,卢拉以极微弱优势实现了惊天逆转。“爱护穷人”在第三个任期内,卢拉被认为恢复了前任削弱的社会项目,遏制了亚马逊雨林的破坏,并让巴西民主重回更稳健的轨道。

Bolsonaro’s presidency brought more division, and by the 2022 election, Lula pulled off a dramatic comeback by a razor-thin margin. ‘Love for the poor’In his third term, Lula is credited with restoring social programmes eroded by his predecessor, curbing the destruction of the Amazon rainforest, and putting Brazil’s democracy back on a more secure footing.

但这位五个孩子的父亲,依然在因犯罪和腐败感到沮丧的选民中引发强烈抵触。

But the father of five still triggers fierce rejection among voters frustrated by crime and corruption.

他还因巴西不断攀升的公共债务面临批评,加上高利率,仅利息支出每月就让政府耗资约180亿美元(约合230亿新元)。

He has also faced criticism over Brazil’s mounting public debt, which, with high interest rates, costs the government around US$18 billion (S$23 billion) a month in interest alone.

卢拉因大选期间的开支激增而遭抨击,其中包括提高“家庭津贴”社会福利金额,该计划启动20年来仍是他最重要的政治遗产。

Lula came under fire for an election-season spending push, including an increase to the Bolsa Familia social welfare benefits which, launched 20 years ago, remains his most significant legacy.

“他对穷人充满爱心。仅此而已,”渔民安东尼奥·卡洛斯·利马·费雷拉在马拉尼昂州内陆的家中对法新社记者说,回忆起曾不得不让儿子饿着肚子睡觉的日子。

“He has that love for the poor. That’s all it is,” fisherman Antonio Carlos Lima Ferreira told AFP at his home in the interior of Maranhao state, recalling times when he had to send his son to bed hungry.

“如今,在我的餐桌上,我可以挑着吃想吃的东西。”卢拉最近表示,他不想只被记住为“只是‘家庭补助计划’总统”。

“Today, at my table, I can choose what I want to eat.”Lula said recently he did not want to be remembered as “just the Bolsa Familia president”.

没有接班人 卢拉没有培养潜在接班人,他在竞选中承诺阻止极右翼回归“毁灭”国家。

No successor Lula, who has not cultivated a potential successor, campaigned on a pledge to stop the far right from returning to “destroy” the country.

他在10月25日取得的难以置信的胜利令支持者惊叹不已,许多人担心在理论上的弗拉维奥·博索纳罗总统任期下权利会遭到侵蚀。

His improbable victory on Oct 25 awed his supporters, many of whom feared an erosion of rights under a theoretical Flavio Bolsonaro presidency.

“卢拉将永远是捍卫民主的象征,”公务员古斯塔沃·蒙泰罗(58岁)在一次左翼集会上对法新社记者说。

Lula “will always remain a symbol of the defence of democracy”, civil servant Gustavo Monteiro, 58, told AFP at a leftist rally.

“他代表着反抗政治镇压的斗争。”这位左翼老将在任时间已超过拉美最大国家巴西其他任何一位民主选举产生的领导人。

“He represents the fight against political repression.”The leftist veteran has already spent more time in office than any other democratically elected leader in Latin America’s biggest country.

“在这个国家,没有人比我拥有更多的总统经验,”卢拉在接受包括法新社在内的外媒联合采访时表示。

“There is no one in this country with more experience as president than me,” Lula told foreign media, including AFP, in an interview.
