美国民调机构预测的“蓝色浪潮”确实到来了。11月3日美国中期选举的结果尚未完全出炉，但民主党已经赢得参众两院的控制权，并将首次迫使唐纳德·特朗普在其任期最后两年面临分裂政府。
The "blue wave" predicted by American pollsters did arrive. The results of the November 3 midterm elections in the United States are not yet complete, but the Democrats have already won control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, and for the first time will force Donald Trump into a divided government for the final two years of his term.
虽然中期选举通常对在任总统构成挑战，但鲜有总统失去如此多席位。众议院 参议院（来源：美联社）发稿时，参议院尚有两个席位、众议院尚有74个席位待定。部分结果可能在未来几小时内公布，但其他结果还需要更长时间。例如在路易斯安那州，将于12月12日举行第二轮投票，以决定该州最后一个众议院席位的归属。
While midterm elections are often challenging for the sitting president, few have lost so many seats.

Some results may be announced in the coming hours, but others will take longer to come in. In Louisiana, for example, a second round of voting will have to be held on December 12 to decide the state's final seat in the House of Representatives.
参议院出现意想不到规模的“蓝色浪潮” 这无疑是本次选举最大的惊喜。共和党原本在参议院拥有相对舒适的多数优势（100个席位中占53个），如今已易手民主党。本次共有35个席位改选，其中共和党把持22个、民主党把持13个，占参议院总数的三分之一。在这35个席位中，民主党至少赢得了20个。
A 'blue wave' of unexpected magnitude in the Senate This was certainly the biggest surprise of the election. The Senate, where the Republicans held a relatively comfortable majority (53 out of 100 seats), has shifted to the Democrats. Thirty-five seats were up for election, including 22 held by Republicans and 13 by Democrats, one third of the chamber. Of these, at least 20 seats were won by the Democrats.
