卢拉在自第四次当选以来的首次电视讲话中承诺，将在不放弃社会项目的前提下维护巴西公共财政，以安抚投资者。
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva pledged to preserve Brazil’s public finances without abandoning social programs in his first televised address since winning a fourth term, as he sought to reassure investors.
“公共债务走势和高利率令我担忧，因此我重申对财政责任的承诺，以使可持续的社会政策成为可能，并实现亟需的投资扩张，”卢拉在周日的讲话中说。“所有这些都将在维护财政规则的前提下进行。”他指出，降低利率是未来面临的主要挑战之一，表示其政府将创造条件降低借贷成本，并帮助将该国投资提高到国内生产总值（GDP）的20%以上。
“The trajectory of public debt and high interest rates concern me, which is why I reaffirm my commitment to fiscal responsibility, in order to make sustainable social policies possible and enable the much-needed expansion of investment,” Lula said in his Sunday remarks. “All of this will be done while preserving the fiscal rules.”He cited lowering interest rates as one of the main challenges ahead, saying his government will create the conditions to reduce borrowing costs and help raise investment in the country to more than 20% of GDP.
然而，这位总统并未就削减开支、增加收入或其政府可能采取的其他措施来巩固公共账目提供细节，而这是投资者的一大关切，因为他正准备开启又一个四年任期。
The president, however, offered no details on spending cuts, revenue measures or other steps his administration could take to shore up the public accounts, a key concern for investors as he prepares for another four years in office.
这番讲话标志着这位左翼领导人早早尝试平衡相互竞争的压力：既要维护定义其政治生涯的社会议程，又要说服投资者其政府能够控制公共财政并创造利率下降的条件。
The message marks an early attempt by the leftist leader to balance competing pressures: preserving the social agenda that has defined his political career while convincing investors his government can keep public finances under control and create conditions for interest rates to fall.
自卢拉在决选中意外获胜以来，巴西资产承受巨大压力，市场担忧其财政做法将加剧预算紧张，并进一步增加央行遏制通胀的难度。
Brazilian assets have come under heavy pressure since Lula’s surprise runoff victory, amid market concerns that his fiscal approach will exacerbate budgetary strains and further complicate the central bank’s efforts to tamp down inflation.
在公开讲话中，卢拉强调了其政府的一些主要成就，包括通过缩短工作周的法案。他还承诺扩大一系列政府项目，包括旨在支持小企业的措施。
In his public address, Lula highlighted some of his government’s key achievements, including the passage of a shorter workweek. He also pledged to expand a series of government programs, including measures aimed at supporting small businesses.
卢拉于10月25日连任成功，他在时长约8分钟的讲话中感谢巴西民众给予他新的任期，并特别提及年轻人、女性和老年人。他在竞选期间极具分裂性之后，试图展现和解姿态，承诺为所有巴西人执政，并致力于使国内政治关系常态化。
Lula, who was reelected on Oct. 25, used the roughly 8-minute address to thank Brazilians for giving him another term, with particular mention of young people, women and the elderly. He also sought to strike a conciliatory tone after a deeply divisive campaign, pledging to govern for all Brazilians and work to normalize political relations in the country.
“我对获得的超过6400万张选票深表感激，我将像以往一样为所有巴西男女执政。我们必须架起桥梁，而不是筑起围墙，”他说。
“I am immensely grateful for the more than 64 million votes I received, and I will govern for all Brazilian women and men, as I have always done. We must build bridges instead of walls,” he said.
这位81岁的领导人即将开启其第四个巴西总统任期，面临经济放缓以及越来越多家庭陷入债务困境的挑战。在讲话中，卢拉强调了一系列旨在减轻巴西家庭经济负担的措施，包括给予月收入不超过5000雷亚尔（约合907美元）者免征所得税，以及禁止网络赌博。
The 81-year-old leader, now entering his fourth term as Brazil’s president, faces a slowing economy and a growing number of families grappling with debt. In his speech, Lula highlighted a series of measures aimed at easing the financial burden on Brazilian households, including an income-tax exemption for those earning up to 5,000 reais ($907) a month and a ban on online gambling.
“如果不把钱花在赌博上，家庭消费就会增加，零售商销量上升，工业产出增长，经济车轮重新转动起来，”他说。“赌博毁掉了生命，必须留在过去，就像巴西终于从中醒来的一场噩梦。”
“Without spending money on bets, families have increased consumption, retailers are selling more, industry is producing more and the wheels of the economy are turning again,” he said. “Betting destroyed lives and must remain in the past, like a nightmare from which Brazil has finally awakened.”
