這里是今日趨勢節(jié)目。

The members of the Electoral College will cast their votes to uphold November's presidential election on December 19. They are known as electors.

選舉人團成員將在12月19日投票核準11月的總統(tǒng)選舉，他們被稱之為選舉人。

Their part in presidential elections is described in the U.S. Constitution and in the 12th Amendment to the Constitution.

他們在總統(tǒng)選舉中的作用在美國憲法和憲法第12修正案中有所描述。

Many people on Twitter are using the hashtag #EsteemedElectors in a last attempt to ask electors to vote for someone other than Donald Trump.

很多推特用戶使用#尊敬的選舉人標簽，最后一次嘗試要求選舉人投票給川普以外的人選。

Actor Josh Gad wrote: "Have courage. Protect our democracy. This is your right and your duty."

演員喬什·蓋德(Josh Gad)寫道，“拿出勇氣來，保衛(wèi)我們的民主，這是你的權(quán)力和責任。”

Other actors, including Martin Sheen, who played the president on television, speak directly to Republican members of the Electoral College in a video. They say Donald Trump is not qualified to be president. They suggested that the electors choose a person who is qualified, and added that it does not have to be Hillary Clinton.

包括在電視上扮演總統(tǒng)的馬丁·希恩(Martin Sheen)等其他演員在一則視頻中直接對選舉人團中的共和黨成員發(fā)話稱，川普沒有資格成為總統(tǒng)。他們建議選舉人挑選一位合格的人選，并補充說，這個人選不必就非得是希拉里。

Many Trump supporters are saying the Electoral College members should follow the wishes of the people in their state. One person asked: "How do we know #EsteemedElectors isn't a Russian operation to influence our election?"

許多川普的支持者表示，選舉人團成員應(yīng)該尊重他們所在州選民的意愿。有人問道，“我們怎么知道#EsteemedElectors并非俄羅斯為了影響我們選舉搞的鬼?”

The recent news that Russian hackers may have influenced the U.S. presidential election has raised concerns among many people. Some are saying the electors need more information before casting their votes.

俄羅斯黑客可能干預(yù)了美國大選的最新新聞引起了很多人的關(guān)注。有人表示，選舉人在投票前需要獲得更多資料。

One of those people is Virginia congressman Don Beyer.

弗吉尼亞州議員唐·貝爾(Don Beyer)就是這其中一位。

He said the Electoral College should delay its vote until its members can receive information from the Central Intelligence Agency about Russia's effect on the election.

他說，選舉人團應(yīng)該推遲投票，直到選舉人收到中央情報局關(guān)于俄羅斯對選舉影響的資料。

Some electors sent an open letter to the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper asking for more details.

一些選舉人向國家情報局局長詹姆斯·克萊普(James Clapper)發(fā)出公開信，要求獲得更多細節(jié)。

They want to know if Russian interference is being investigated and whether the hackers were connected with the Trump campaign.

他們想知道是否正在調(diào)查俄羅斯干預(yù)，以及這些黑客是否與川普競選有關(guān)。

In most election years, the Electoral College votes are a routine part of the process. The people who vote usually follow the popular vote in their state.

在大部分選舉年，選舉人團投票只是例行公事，這些投票人通常會遵循他們所在州的民眾投票結(jié)果。

This year, one elector has already said he will not follow his state's vote. That is Christopher Suprun of Texas. He wrote an opinion article in the New York Times recently explaining that he would not vote for Trump.

今年已經(jīng)有一位選舉人聲稱不會遵循他所在州的投票結(jié)果。這位就是德克薩斯州的克里斯托弗·蘇普倫(Christopher Suprun)。他最近在紐約時報上撰寫了一篇評論文章，吐露他不會投票給川普。

Suprun's lone vote against Trump will not make a difference in the results. If the remaining electors follow the wishes of their state, Trump will receive more than the required 270 votes.

蘇普倫一個人投票反對川普不會改變選舉結(jié)果。如果其余選舉人遵循他們所在州選民的意愿，川普將獲得比要求的270票更多的選票。

And that's What's Trending Today.

以上就是今日趨勢的全部內(nèi)容。
