美国中期选举：特朗普祝贺民主党获胜，但警告称他已准备好动用否决权美国中期选举拉开帷幕，民主党的目标是赢得众议院、甚至可能拿下参议院，从而制约唐纳德·特朗普的权力并引发各项调查。
US midterms: Trump congratulates Democrats on success but warns he’s ready to use veto US midterms began as Democrats aimed to win the House and maybe the Senate, which could curb Donald Trump’s power and trigger investigations.
选民关注的焦点是高昂的生活成本、关税以及对伊朗的战争，而特朗普则为自己的政绩辩护，并指责民主党人是“左翼激进分子”。
Voters focused on high living costs, tariffs and the war against Iran, while Trump defended his record and blamed Democrats as “left-wing radicals”.
预测认为民主党在众议院占优，参议院选情胶着，但人们越来越担心，一旦特朗普和共和党落败，他们可能会对选举结果提出异议。
Forecasts favoured Democrats in the House and a tight Senate race, but fears grew that Trump and Republicans might dispute the result if they lose.
人工智能生成 华盛顿——11月3日，在竞争对手民主党于美国中期选举中取得惊人胜利后，总统唐纳德·特朗普罕见地对民主党表示了赞扬，并承认伊朗战争可能在一定程度上导致了他所属共和党的落败。
AI generated WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump had rare praise for rival Democrats on Nov 3 after their stunning US midterm elections victory and admitted the Iran war may have played a part in the defeat of his Republican Party.
但这位80岁的总统拒绝为这一结果承担任何个人责任——该结果将颠覆他总统任期的最后两年——而是试图把责任推给共和党同僚。
But the 80-year-old refused to take any personal responsibility for the result that upends the final two years of his presidency, instead trying to shift the blame to his fellow Republicans.
“好吧，我要说的是：祝贺民主党人。他们干得不错，”特朗普在接受福克斯新闻《民主26》电话采访时说。
“Well, I say this: congratulations to the Democrats. They did a good job,” Trump said in a telephone interview with FOX News Democracy 26.
“他们为这一刻已经等了11年，终于等到了。但我不认为这是对我的打击。”对于特朗普来说，这样的赞美之词极不寻常，他在中期选举竞选期间的大部分时间里，把民主党人从共产党人到伊斯兰主义者等各种标签都扣了个遍。
“They’ve been looking for this one for 11 years, and they finally got it. But I don’t view it as a hit on me.”The complimentary comments were highly unusual for Trump, who spent much of the midterms campaign branding Democrats as everything from communists to Islamists.
特朗普还重申，与2020年总统选举落败时不同，这次他接受投票结果，并准备在民主党即将掌控国会的情况下与他们合作。“我可以在许多事情上与他们合作，”特朗普说。
Trump also reiterated that, unlike his 2020 presidential election loss, he accepted the vote results and was ready to work with Democrats now that they will control Congress. “I can work with them on many things,” Trump said.
与此同时，特朗普警告称，他已准备好动用行政权力，否决任何他认为不合适的民主党立法。
At the same time, Trump warned he was ready to use his executive power to veto any Democratic legislation he felt like.
“他们可以送来50项他们都很兴奋的绝佳法案，而我用一枚漂亮的印章把它们退回去——‘否决’。”民调显示，伊朗战争以及由此引发的油价上涨极不受选民欢迎，特朗普也承认，这场陷入僵局的冲突对选举结果起到了作用。
“They can send over, you know, 50 different great Bills that they’re all excited about, and I send them back with a nice stamp – ‘veto’.”With polls showing the Iran war and resulting rise in oil prices was vastly unpopular with voters, Trump also acknowledged that the stalled conflict had contributed to the result.
“我认为其中一部分原因是伊朗，但与此同时，人们理解我在伊朗问题上所做之事的重要性，”特朗普对福克斯表示。然而，特朗普的缓和语气并未延伸到自己的党内。
“I think a part of it was Iran, but at the same time, people understood the importance of what I’ve done with Iran,” Trump told Fox. Yet Trump’s conciliatory tone did not extend to his own party.
在竞选过程中，这位80岁的总统屡次告诫共和党人“假装我也在选票上”。但到了11月3日，随着共和党明显面临失去国会多数席位的危险，他却坚称问题恰恰相反。
Time and again on the campaign trail the 80-year-old told Republicans to “pretend I’m on the ballot”. But on Nov 3, as it grew clear Republicans were in danger of losing their congressional majorities, he insisted that the opposite was the problem.
“我并不在选票上，如果我在，我们会以压倒性优势获胜！感谢您对此事的关注，”特朗普在其“真实社交”平台上发帖说。
“I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.
民主党的压倒性胜利 民主党在11月4日赢得参议院和众议院的多数席位，取得深入共和党腹地的压倒性胜利，数千万选民对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普发出了严厉斥责。
Democrats’ sweeping wins Democrats captured majorities in both the Senate and House on Nov 4, scoring sweeping victories that reached deep into Republican strongholds as tens of millions of voters delivered a scathing rebuke to US President Donald Trump.
民主党浪潮的规模和广度仍在逐渐明朗，但该党在长期被认为遥不可及的州取得胜利，包括南卡罗来纳、得克萨斯和艾奥瓦等保守派堡垒。
The size and breadth of the Democratic wave were still coming into focus, but the party prevailed in states long thought to be out of reach, including conservative bastions like South Carolina, Texas and Iowa.
民主党浪潮凸显了选民对特朗普经济治理以及他在2月决定对伊朗发动战争的深切不满，这场战争导致汽油价格急剧上涨。在一次又一次的民调中，选民表达了对生活成本的焦虑，以及对特朗普处理该问题方式的愤怒。
The Democratic wave underscored voters’ deep frustration with Trump’s stewardship of the economy and his decision to launch a war against Iran in February, which drove gas prices up sharply. In poll after poll, voters expressed anxiety about the cost of living and anger at the way Trump has handled the issue.
在堪萨斯州，大型教会牧师亚当·汉密尔顿成为近一个世纪前大萧条以来首位赢得参议院席位的民主党人。
In Kansas, Adam Hamilton, a megachurch pastor, became the first Democrat to win a Senate seat since the Great Depression nearly a century ago.
在俄亥俄州，民主党人谢罗德·布朗夺下了一个两年前属于副总统J.D.万斯的席位；在得克萨斯州，民主党州众议员詹姆斯·塔拉里科顶住了大量外部竞选支出的攻势，击败了深陷丑闻的共和党总检察长肯·帕克斯顿。俄亥俄州和得克萨斯州在2024年都以两位数的差距投票支持了特朗普。
In Ohio, Democrat Sherrod Brown claimed a seat that belonged to Vice-President J.D. Vance two years ago, while Texas Democratic state Representative James Talarico withstood a barrage of outside spending to defeat scandal-plagued Republican Attorney-General Ken Paxton.
在南卡罗来纳州——特朗普在2024年以近18个百分点的优势拿下该州——儿科医生安妮·安德鲁斯战胜了共和党参议员达琳·格雷厄姆，后者是在其兄长、参议员林赛·格雷厄姆去世后获任命填补该席位的。
Both Ohio and Texas voted for Trump by a double-digit margin in 2024.
特朗普将帕克斯顿和格雷厄姆提拔到比资历更深的候选人更靠前的位置，尽管二人存在明显的短板。帕克斯顿一直处于一连串争议的中心，包括他2023年遭弹劾以及证券欺诈指控，而格雷厄姆承认自己缺乏经验，这也招致了负面报道。
In South Carolina, a state that Trump carried by nearly 18 points in 2024, paediatrician Annie Andrews triumphed over Republican Senator Darline Graham, who was appointed to the seat after the death of her brother, Senator Lindsey Graham. Trump elevated Paxton and Graham ahead of more established candidates despite clear liabilities.
特朗普为帕克斯顿、格雷厄姆和俄亥俄州的乔恩·赫斯特德大力助选，这是选举后期闪电攻势的一部分，其中包括二十多场集会。
Paxton has been at the centre of a litany of controversies, including his 2023 impeachment and securities fraud charges, while Graham’s admitted inexperience drew negative headlines.
民主党人总共翻转了六个共和党参议院席位，这确保了他们即使未能在竞争激烈的密歇根州和明尼苏达州保住自己的席位，也能获得多数。
Trump campaigned heavily for Paxton, Graham and Ohio’s Jon Husted as part of a late election blitz that included more than two dozen rallies.
民主党人也有望掌控美国众议院，此前他们在肯塔基州、新泽西州和北卡罗来纳州等州至少翻转了八个共和党席位，甚至在坚定保守的选区也展现出强劲势头。
Democrats had flipped six Republican Senate seats in all, ensuring a majority even if they do not manage to hold their own seats in competitive Michigan and Minnesota.
该党的优势还延伸到其他选举。连任三届的得克萨斯州州长格雷格·阿博特输给了民主党人吉娜·伊诺霍萨，民主党人还拿下了保守的艾奥瓦州和俄亥俄州的州长职位。
Democrats were also on track to take control of the US House of Representatives after flipping at least eight Republican seats in states including Kentucky, New Jersey and North Carolina and showing strength even in solidly conservative districts. The party’s dominance extended to other races as well.
胜选者称这是对特朗普的斥责“在一场全面而决定性的胜利中，美国人民斥责了那个名叫唐纳德·J.特朗普总统的人之堕落、腐败和无能，”在佐治亚州被预测获胜的现任民主党参议员乔恩·奥索夫在胜选派对上对支持者说。
Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a three-term incumbent, lost to Democrat Gina Hinojosa, while Democrats also captured governorships in conservative Iowa and Ohio.
在佛罗里达州，共和党参议员阿什利·穆迪击退了民主党人安吉·尼克松，但根据路透社与《今日美国》汇总的计票结果，她的领先优势仅约3个百分点，而特朗普2024年在该州以13个百分点的优势获胜。这进一步表明，即便是稳固的共和党州也在大幅转向民主党。
A rebuke to Trump, winner says“In sweeping and decisive victories, the American people have rebuked the depravity, corruption and incompetence of the man named President Donald J. Trump,” incumbent Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, the projected winner in Georgia, told supporters at a victory party. In Florida, Republican Senator Ashley Moody fended off Democrat Angie Nixon but was ahead by only about 3 percentage points in a state Trump carried by 13 points in 2024, according to a vote count compiled by Reuters and USA Today, further evidence that even solidly Republican states were shifting dramatically towards Democrats.
民主党守住了佛罗里达州的三个众议院选区，这些选区此前于今年早些时候被共和党议员重新划分，而这三个选区都曾以至少9个百分点的优势支持特朗普。
Democrats held onto three House districts in Florida that Republican lawmakers had redrawn earlier this year, all of which backed Trump by at least 9 percentage points.
