CNN News: “超級星期二” 誰將是最后贏家

On March 1st, Americans in more than 10 states all went to the polls at once. They weren`t electing a president. They were helping determine which one Democratic and which one Republican would ultimately appear on the presidential ballot this November.

3月1日，10余州美國公民開始投票。但是，他們并不是在選舉總統(tǒng)，而是幫助決定哪一位民主黨和共和黨人士將會參加11月份的總統(tǒng)選舉角逐。

Results from these contests were still coming in when we put this show together. Teachers, for up to the moment info, please head to CNN.com.

我們將會持續(xù)關(guān)注競選的結(jié)果。各位教師們，最新新聞，請收聽CNN 新聞。

We`re starting with an analysis of the Republican side. As of last night, there were five candidates running to become the Republican nominee. And going into Super Tuesday, businessman Donald Trump was the frontrunner. He`d won in every state by Iowa before yesterday`s votes.

我們首先分析共和黨。昨天晚上，有五位候選人角逐共和黨候選人。“超級星期二”即將拉開帷幕。，商人唐納德·特朗普成為候選人領(lǐng)跑者。昨天，他贏得了愛德華州的投票。

Now, CNN`s John King is doing a bit of math for us. He`s looking at a few hypothetical outcomes from yesterday built around Donald Trump`s lead so far.

現(xiàn)在，CNN記者約翰·金正在為我們進(jìn)行計算。他正在查看截止到目前為止特朗普的一些結(jié)果。

SUBTITLE: Super Tuesday scenarios for the Republicans.

共和黨“超級星期二”現(xiàn)狀

So, heading into Super Tuesday, nobody has anywhere close to clinching the nomination when it comes to delegates. But momentum does start to matter and Trump is starting to pull away.

超級星期二即將到來，所有人都非常關(guān)注這一天。勢頭非常的額重要，“超級星期二”可能會令特朗普出線，與希拉里展開一對一的較量

It`s early, you need, what, 1,237 delegates to clinch on the Republican side and nobody`s even at a hundred.

共和黨初選代表總數(shù)2472，獲得1237票支持的候選人即獲得提名。但是目前，所有共和黨候選人票數(shù)均未達(dá)到100.

SUBTITLE: Donald Trump currently has a 65 delegate lead. What happens if he sweeps on Tuesday?

目前，特朗普以65票領(lǐng)先。若他在周二共和黨內(nèi)大獲全勝，將會怎樣?

KING: If you run the board, even winning with 30 percent, 33 percent, 35 percent, if Trump runs the board on Super Tuesday -- look at that -- he gets close to 350. Again, you need 1,230-something. So, he`d be pulling away in a dramatic way you start to get that space.

如果參加競選，總讓選票達(dá)到30%、33%、35%，也必須遵從共和黨初選規(guī)則。如果周二，特朗普參加初選，現(xiàn)在他的選票才剛剛接近350票。但是特朗普需要1237票，所以，他還仍需加把勁。

SUBTITLE: Does the math change if Ted Cruz wins Texas?

若特德· 科魯茲贏得德克薩斯州投票，那么局勢會發(fā)生變化嗎?

KING: So, the challenge is you`ve got, not only win some states, but take some delegates away and that`s where it hurts. Even if Ted Cruz could pick up Texas for example, say Trump comes in second, Rubio third and Kasich fourth, even there, Trump`s still getting some delegates, if you`re splitting it up.

So, to stop Trump, you can`t just win one state or two states.

所以，所面臨的挑戰(zhàn)不僅僅是贏得一些州的選票，而是讓一些競選人出具，這才是難題所在。即使特德· 科魯茲贏得了德克薩斯州，假設(shè)特朗普排名第二、盧比奧第三、凱西克第四，即使這樣，特朗普也將獲得一些選票。也就是說，為了阻止特朗普，不僅僅要贏得一個州或兩個州的選票。
