新西兰周六举行全国大选后，谁将组建下一届政府仍不确定，最终结果还要再过几周才会出炉。
Who will form New Zealand's next government remains uncertain after the country's national election on Saturday, with final results not due for another couple of weeks.
这是该国多年来最胶着的一次选举，执政的国家党和在野的工党在政党票方面不相上下。就席位而言，由国家党领导的保守派联盟（包括行动党和新西兰优先党）预计将共同赢得67个席位，从而获得微弱的单席多数优势。
It's the tightest vote that the country has seen in years, with the incumbent National Party and opposition Labour Party neck-and-neck in terms of party vote In terms of seats, a National-led conservative coalition, which includes the Act Party and NZ First, are projected to win a combined 67 seats - giving them a narrow one-seat majority. As questions about other coalitions swirl, party leaders are remaining tight-lipped, saying they would wait for the final results before formal discussions.
随着关于其他联盟组合的猜测不断，各党领袖守口如瓶，表示将等待最终结果出炉后再进行正式磋商。
Major parties on both sides of the political aisle were "likely dissatisfied with their campaigns", Max Rashbrooke, adjunct senior research fellow at the Victoria University of Wellington, told the BBC.
维多利亚大学惠灵顿分校兼职高级研究员马克斯·拉什布鲁克对BBC表示，政治光谱两边的主要政党“很可能对自己的竞选活动感到不满”。
The opposition Labour Party, led by Chris Hipkins, ran an election campaign that "seems to have inspired few voters", despite going up against Christopher Luxon, a "historically unpopular prime minister", Rashbrooke said.
拉什布鲁克说，由克里斯·希普金斯领导的在野工党进行的竞选活动“似乎未能激发多少选民的热情”，尽管其对手是“历史上不受欢迎的总理”克里斯托弗·拉克森。
On the other hand, he added, the incumbent National Party also "failed to spark enthusiasm" even though it "should have been safe" given the country hasn't seen a one-term government in more than 50 years.
他补充道，另一方面，执政的国家党也“未能激起热情”，尽管鉴于该国50多年来未出现过一届政府，国家党“本应稳操胜券”。
The election dealt a huge blow to National with the loss of some of its most senior lawmakers, including Finance Minister Nicola Willis, Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith, Transport Minister Chris Bishop and House Speaker Gerry Brownlee.
此次选举给国家党造成重创，导致其部分资深议员落选，包括财政部长妮可拉·威利斯、司法部长保罗·戈德史密斯、交通部长克里斯·比肖普和议长格里·布朗利。
Act Party leader David Seymour has expressed interest in the finance minister portfolio, telling news outlet Stuff that National must recognise the voters' message and let its coalition partners play a bigger role.
行动党领袖大卫·西摩表示有意角逐财政部长职位，他对媒体Stuff表示，国家党必须认识到选民传递的信息，让其联盟伙伴发挥更大作用。
"The government barely survived, it must now put its best foot forward in every step," he said.
他说：“政府勉强存活下来，现在必须在每一步都拿出最佳状态。”拉什布鲁克表示，选举之夜的大赢家是“更激进的小党”。
The big winners of election night were "the more radical minor parties", Rashbrooke said. The left-leaning Greens and the right-wing libertarian Act Party both saw new highs this election, while the Opportunity Party, a fledgling centrist party, scored a breakout victory.
左翼的绿党和右翼自由意志党行动党在本次大选中均创下新高，而初出茅庐的中间派机会党取得突破性胜利。此前三次未能进入议会，如今预计将获得七个席位。
Having previously failed three times at getting into Parliament, it's now projected to get seven seats. Opportunity's incoming lawmakers, including leader Qiulae Wong, arrived at New Zealand's parliament on Monday morning, for the start of what Wong said would be a week of "induction stuff".
包括领袖黄桂兰在内的机会党新当选议员周一上午抵达新西兰议会，开始黄桂兰所说的为期一周的“入职事宜”。
Opportunity, which has rejected traditional political divisions, has said it's open to forming a coalition with either major party.
机会党摒弃传统政治分野，表示愿意与任一主要政党组建联合政府。
Whichever coalition they join, though, they would "really need to be comfortable with the overall direction the government is going in", Wong told reporters on Monday.
不过黄桂兰周一对记者表示，无论加入哪个联合政府，他们“确实需要对政府的整体施政方向感到满意”。
Wong said that although she has received calls of congratulations from Labour's Hipkins and the Greens' Chlöe Swarbrick, they have not had any discussions about coalitions.
黄桂兰称，虽然收到了工党领袖希普金斯和绿党联合领袖萧薇的祝贺电话，但双方尚未进行任何联合政府谈判。
Luxon, who had previously ruled out working with Opportunity, told public broadcaster RNZ on Monday that he wanted to talk to Wong "shortly".
此前排除与机会党合作的拉克森周一对公共广播电台RNZ表示，希望“近期”与黄桂兰对话。
Counting is still underway for nearly 400,000 "special votes", which includes those from overseas voters and people outside of their electorate.
近40万张“特别选票”仍在计数中，其中包括海外选民和不在本选区投票者的选票。这些选票占总票数的14%，预计将对最终结果产生重要影响。
These make up 14% of total votes, and are likely to be important in the final count. "They tend to lean left, as voters casting special votes tend to be younger and more likely to be renters - and therefore more likely to be living outside their electorate," senior politics lecturer Claire Timperley told the BBC on election night.
资深政治讲师克莱尔·廷珀利在选举之夜对BBC表示：“这些选票倾向于左翼，因为投特别票的选民往往更年轻，更可能是租房者——因此更可能居住在其选区之外。”
"The overseas vote might be more likely than usual to be disaffected by the current coalition, given we've seen increasing numbers of New Zealanders moving overseas as a result of cost-of-living challenges."
“鉴于我们看到越来越多的新西兰人因生活成本挑战而移居海外，海外选民比以往更有可能对现任联合政府感到失望。”面对经济停滞和严峻的就业市场，创纪录数量的新西兰人正移居海外寻求更好的职业机会。截至8月的一年中，有超过11.4万人移居国外。
Faced with a stagnating economy and challenging job market, a record number of Kiwis are moving overseas in search of better career opportunities. More than 114,000 people migrated out of the country in the year leading up to August. Young people the BBC spoke to ahead of the election said they were "tired" and "cynical" about the future - part of what polling shows is a general grim mood across the country.
英国广播公司（BBC）在大选前采访的年轻人表示，他们对未来感到“疲惫”和“愤世嫉俗”——民调显示，这只是全国普遍阴郁情绪的一部分。
"In New Zealand as elsewhere, politics is splintering.
拉什布鲁克表示：“在新西兰和其他地方一样，政治正在碎片化。但究竟哪些政党最终会受益，目前仍不清楚。”
But which parties ultimately benefit remains unclear for now," said Rashbrooke.
最终选举结果预计将于11月27日公布，议员名单的正式确认定于12月3日。
Final election results are expected on 27 November, with the official confirmation of MPs set for 3 December.
