特朗普在问题重重的倒映池发表美国中期选举最后演说唐纳德·特朗普选择了华盛顿的倒映池——这个标志性地标，其糟糕的修缮工作曾象征着这位80岁老人混乱的总统任期——于11月2日发表最后一场演说，号召共和党人对抗预计将在中期选举中席卷而来的民主党胜利浪潮。
Trump makes final US midterm pitch at troubled Reflecting Pool Donald Trump chose Washington’s Reflecting Pool – an iconic landmark where botched repairs came to symbolise the 80-year-old’s chaotic presidency – for a final speech on Nov 2 to rally Republicans against a predicted tide of Democratic victories in midterm elections.
“这是中期选举前的最后一天，我相信这是我们有生之年最重要的中期选举，”特朗普在一场冗长演说开始26分钟后说道，这场演说聚焦于他翻新美国首都纪念碑的项目，而非通货膨胀、伊朗战争以及其他驱动选民的问题。
“This is the last day before the midterm elections, the most important midterm I believe in our lifetime,” Trump said 26 minutes into a rambling speech which focused on his project to renovate monuments in the US capital, rather than inflation, the Iran war and other issues driving voters.
民调显示，民主党有望在11月3日的投票中夺取众议院，并触手可及地接近参议院——这一转变将对自特朗普近两年前就职以来的总统施加严格的政治约束。
Polls show Democrats poised to seize the House of Representatives and within reach of the Senate in the Nov 3 vote – a shift that would impose tight political constraints on the president since he took office nearly two years ago.
美国民众对经济日益不满，而特朗普自身的支持率已降至历史最低点。乌克兰称俄罗斯袭击击碎和平进展希望，造成26人死亡乌克兰11月2日表示，俄罗斯对一所分发人道主义援助的学校发动多次袭击，造成至少26人死亡，并击碎了南部地区地方停火协议在未出现违规的情况下到期后，关于“和平进展”的脆弱希望。
Americans are increasingly dissatisfied with the economy, while Trump’s own approval ratings have hit record lows. Ukraine says Russian strikes dash peace progress hopes after 26 killed Ukraine on Nov 2 said multiple Russian strikes on a school where humanitarian aid was distributed killed at least 26 people and dashed fragile hopes of “progress toward peace” after a local ceasefire in the south expired without violations.
基辅表示，在该地区地方停火结束后，俄罗斯恢复了对南部赫尔松地区的袭击，这是邻国之间自2022年俄罗斯入侵以来持续的战争中最长的一次休战。
Russia resumed its strikes on the southern region of Kherson after the end of a local ceasefire in the area, the longest truce in the war raging between the neighbours since Russia’s 2022 invasion, Kyiv said.
由美国第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普斡旋、旨在促成一次前往俄罗斯占领城市奥莱什基任务的罕见战斗暂停，于11月1日结束，双方均未报告违规行为。消息人士称也门胡塞武装推进至距亚丁80公里以内四名军事消息人士11月2日向路透社表示，也门受伊朗支持的胡塞武装已推进至距亚丁80公里以内，亚丁是该国国际公认政府的主要据点和临时首都。
A rare pause in the fighting, brokered by US First Lady Melania Trump to enable a mission to the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky, ended on Nov 1, with neither side reporting breaches. Yemen’s Houthis advance to within 80km of Aden, sources say Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis have advanced to within 80km of Aden, the main stronghold and temporary capital of the country’s internationally recognised government, four military sources told Reuters on Nov 2.
这一进展使胡塞武装比2015年战争初期以来任何时候都更接近亚丁，当时他们曾短暂进入该城市，随后被赶出。
The advance brings the Houthis closer to Aden than at any point since the early months of the war in 2015, when they briefly entered the city before being driven out.
最新攻势在更广泛的美以对伊朗战争中开辟了一个动荡的新战线，使胡塞武装和沙特阿拉伯都更深地卷入地区冲突。
The latest offensive has opened a volatile new front in the wider US-Israeli war on Iran, drawing both the Houthis and Saudi Arabia deeper into the regional conflict.
联合国报告警告称，气候变化对地球冰冻圈造成大规模损害。两份联合国报告于11月2日警告称，全球变暖超过1.5摄氏度将对冰川、海冰和地球冰冻区域产生“不可逆转”的后果，并呼吁采取紧急行动。
UN reports warn of large-scale damage to Earth’s ice from climate change Exceeding 1.5 deg C of global warming will have “irreversible” consequences for glaciers, sea ice and the Earth’s frozen regions, two UN reports warned on Nov 2, calling for urgent action.
具有里程碑意义的2015年巴黎协定承诺将全球变暖限制在远低于2摄氏度，并努力将其控制在1.5摄氏度，以尽量避免气候变化的最严重影响。
The landmark 2015 Paris Agreement commits the world to limiting warming to well below 2 deg C and pursuing efforts to hold it at 1.5 deg C to try to avoid the worst effects of climate change.
其中一份报告称，超过1.5摄氏度的目标“将为冰冻圈——地球以各种形式存在的冰——带来大规模且在许多情况下不可逆转的影响”。
One of the reports said overshooting the 1.5 deg C target “will bring large-scale and in many cases irreversible impacts” for the cryosphere – Earth’s ice in all its forms.
