CNN News: 馬克龍當選法國最年輕的總統

First story this Monday, election results from France. The European country went to the polls yesterday and its government confirmed last night that 39-year-old Emmanuel Macron would become the nation`s next leader. Early results showed him leading with more than 60 percent of the vote.

周一頭條新聞，法國選舉最終結果。上周日，法國舉行總統大選，晚上，法國政府承認39歲的馬克龍將會成為下一任國家領導人。之前的選舉結果顯示，馬克龍以超過60%的結果領先。

He`s the youngest person ever elected in France. He was considered a centrist candidate who`s socially liberal and he defeated a strongly conservative candidate, 48-year-old Marine Le Pen.

馬克龍是法國有史以來最年輕的總統。作為中間派的候選人，馬克龍擊敗了極右翼領袖48歲的瑪麗娜 勒龐。

The election was divisive. Neither candidate in yesterday’s runoff was from a major party. Analysts say that shows many French felt the traditional parties had left them behind.

選舉造成分歧。昨日參選的兩位候選人均不來自法國主要的正派。分析人士表示，很多法國民眾表示，傳統的政黨已經被遠遠的落在了后面。

One big difference between the candidates was that Macron, who`s never held elective office, strongly supported the European Union. Le Pen wanted France to leave it. That`s a major issue for many Europeans, following Britain`s vote to leave the union last year. France`s challenges include slow economic growth, high unemployment, immigration and terrorism. Following his victory, Macron promised to work toward unity in the country.

兩位候選人的主要區(qū)別在于，從未參加過選舉的馬克龍強烈的支持歐盟。但候選人勒龐則希望法國脫離歐盟。由于去年英國決定脫歐，因此脫歐對于歐洲國家成為一個重大的問題。法國面臨的問題是經濟增速緩慢、高失業(yè)率、移民以及恐怖主義問題。在當選時，馬克龍承諾會努力促進國家團結。
