在接受两名《纽约时报》记者采访时，特朗普总统将共和党的失利归咎于他本人不在选票上，并表示愿意与民主党人合作。
In an interview with two Times reporters, President Trump blamed the G.O.P.’s losses on the fact that he was not on the ballot and said he was willing to work with Democrats.
特朗普总统周二晚间表示，他将接受中期选举的结果，并准备与民主党人合作。“我绝对愿意接受这些结果，”他在接受《纽约时报》采访时说。
President Trump said Tuesday night that he would accept the results of the midterm elections and was prepared to work with Democrats. “I am absolutely willing to accept those results,” he said in an interview with The New York Times.
他还说：“我们会与民主党人合作，而且我们会，你知道，期待与他们合作。我们大概会商量出一些办法。”特朗普将共和党的失利归咎于他本人不在选票上，并表示他对背书南卡罗来纳州共和党参议员达琳·格雷厄姆和得克萨斯州共和党总检察长肯·帕克斯顿等候选人并不后悔。
He added: “We’ll work with the Democrats, and we’ll, you know, look forward to working with them. We’ll probably work something out.”Mr. Trump blamed Republican losses on the fact that he was not on the ballot and said he had no regrets about endorsing candidates such as Senator Darline Graham, Republican of South Carolina, and Ken Paxton, the Republican attorney general of Texas.
他发表上述言论之际，民主党正有望拿下众议院和参议院，格雷厄姆女士已输掉她的竞选，帕克斯顿先生则在参议院竞选中落后。
His comments came as Democrats were on track to take control of the House and the Senate, with Ms. Graham having lost her race and Mr. Paxton trailing in his campaign for the Senate.
特朗普是在周二晚间快到10点30分时对《纽约时报》说这番话的，当时他正在白宫观看选举结果。
Mr. Trump spoke to The Times shortly before 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday night, while he was watching election results at the White House.
“我一边说话一边看着这些结果，”他说。“我看到达琳输了。哇，太惊人了。你觉得如果林赛参选，他会表现如何？”特朗普表示，他认为7月去世的参议员林赛·格雷厄姆最有可能在他的竞选中获胜。
“I’m just looking at these results as I’m talking,” he said. “I see that Darline lost. Wow, that’s amazing. How do you think Lindsey would have done if he ran?”Mr. Trump said he thought Senator Lindsey Graham, who died in July, most likely would have prevailed in his race.
