联合国总部，10月30日电 —— 两名知情人士透露，联合国安理会周五进行的一项非正式民调显示，哥斯达黎加前副总统雷贝卡·格林斯潘在竞逐第10任联合国秘书长的竞争中扩大了领先优势。
UNITED NATIONS, Oct 30 - An informal poll by the United Nations Security Council on Friday showed former Costa Rican Vice President Rebeca Grynspan extended her lead as frontrunner in the race to become the 10th UN secretary-general, two people close to the process said.
在安理会15个成员国的投票中，格林斯潘获得11票赞成、4票反对，这是近几个月来进行的七轮闭门投票中她表现最强的一次，旨在接替安东尼奥·古特雷斯，后者将于今年结束第二个五年任期。
Grynspan got 11 votes in favor and 4 against on the 15-member council, marking her strongest showing in seven closed-door ballots conducted in recent months to replace Antonio Guterres as he finishes his second five-year term this year.
获胜者将面临多重危机，包括多场战争、美国对联合国缴款的削减，以及随着华盛顿退出数十个联合国机构，这个拥有193个成员国的组织政治影响力下降。
Whoever wins will have to tackle multiple crises, including several wars, cutbacks in American contributions to the UN, and the 193-member body's declining political relevance as Washington has pulled out of dozens of its agencies.
获得安理会推荐需要至少9票赞成，且五个常任理事国——法国、英国、美国、俄罗斯和中国——均不投“劝阻”票。周五的投票未采用可识别“常任理事国五国”投票情况的编码方式。
Securing the council's recommendation requires at least 9 positive votes and no "discourage" votes from the five permanent members - France, Britain, the US, Russia and China. Friday's ballot was not coded in a way that would allow decyphering of how the "P5" voted.
周五也是阿联酋外交官拉娜·努赛贝赫进入竞争以来的首次民调，但这位中东候选人、前联合国大使获得7票赞成、6票反对、2票标记为“无意见”。
Friday also marked the first poll since United Arab Emirates diplomat Lana Nusseibeh entered the race, but the Middle Eastern contender and former ambassador to the UN received 7 votes in favor, 6 against and 2 marked as "no opinion." REUTERS
