[時事英文] 美國總統大選陷入膠著
It ain’t over till every vote is counted.
大家應該都睡不著吧...
★★★★★★★★★★★★
President Donald Trump claimed victory over Democratic rival Joe Biden on Wednesday with millions of votes still uncounted in a White House race that will not be decided until tallying is completed over the coming hours or days.
1. claim victory 聲稱勝利
2. rival 競爭者；對手；敵手
3. uncounted (adj.) 未計算過的
4. tally (v.) 計算；清點
週三，川普總統聲稱擊敗民主黨對手拜登，但這場白宮爭奪戰仍有數百萬張選票尚未計算，在計票結束前，於接下來的數個小時乃至數日，一切尚在未定之天。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
By early Wednesday, the race was down to a handful of states, and both Trump, 74 and Biden, 77, had possible paths to reach the needed 270 Electoral College votes to win the White House.
5. be down to 由⋯⋯決定
6. Electoral College votes 選舉人團票
週三稍早，競選已由少數幾個州來決定，而７４歲的川普以及７７歲的拜登都有可能取得２７０張選舉人團票來贏得白宮。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Shortly after Biden said he was confident of winning the contest once the votes are counted, Trump appeared at the White House to declare victory and said his lawyers would be taking his case to the U.S. Supreme Court, without specifying what they would claim.
7. be confident of… 對⋯⋯有信心
8. declare victory 宣布獲勝
9. take his case to 將他的案子提交到⋯⋯
10. the Supreme Court of the United States 美國最高法院
11. specify 具體指定；明確說明
拜登表示計票之初便有信心贏得競選。不久，川普在白宮宣布勝選，並表示他的律師將把他的案子提交到美國最高法院，但未明確指出他們的主張。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
“We were getting ready to win this election. Frankly, we did win this election,” Trump said. “This is a major fraud on our nation. We want the law to be used in a proper manner. So we’ll be going to the U.S. Supreme Court. We want all voting to stop.” He provided no evidence to back up his claim of fraud.
12. frankly 直率地；坦白地
13. a major fraud 重大的詐欺
14. in a proper manner 以適當的方式
15. back up 支持
「我們正準備迎接此次大選的勝利。坦白說，我們確實贏得了這場選舉。」川普道。「這是對我們國家的重大詐欺。我們希望以適當的方式使用法律。因此，我們將前往美國最高法院。我們希望所有的投票都能停止。」他並未提供任何證據，來支持他對詐欺的指控。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Polls have closed and voting has stopped across the country, but election laws in U.S. states require all votes to be counted, and many states routinely take days to finish counting ballots. More votes stood to be counted this year than in the past as people voted early by mail and in person because of the coronavirus pandemic.
16. the polls 投票處
17. count ballots 統計選票
18. in person 親自
19. the coronavirus pandemic 新冠病毒大流行疫情
投票處已關閉，全國各地的投票也已停止，但全美各州的選舉法要求，所有選票皆需進行統計，有許多州通常需要數日才能完成選票的計算。由於疫情的關係，今年有更多的選票需要統計，因選民比以往還早郵寄選票，並親自投票。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Global stocks gyrated in early trade as results streamed in, with a final call now seen unlikely for days and the outcome raising the potential for gridlock that complicates the chance of a quick U.S. government spending boost to counter the effects of the pandemic.
20. gyrate（通常指很快地）旋轉；迴旋；轉動
21. stream in 流入
22. a final call 最後的決定
23. raise the potential for 提高⋯⋯的可能性
24. gridlock 僵局
25. complicate the chance 使機率複雜化
26. counter the effects of 抵消⋯⋯
隨著選舉結果的湧入，全球股市在早盤交易中迴旋，目前看來最終結果似乎不太可能於接下來的幾天內出爐，惟恐陷入僵局，這將使美國政府迅速增加支出以應對疫情的機率複雜化。
