馬克龍成為下屆法國總統(講解版)| E0517
After a decisive victory, Emmanuel Macron, a centrist who promises to reform the economy, will assume the presidency within a week. The 39-year-old has a strong mandate, after attracting 65.8% support in the run-off yesterday, more than most polls had projected, against 34.2% for Marine Le Pen of the far-right National Front.
Decisive victory:決定性的勝利=hugevictory =landslide victory,壓倒性的勝利
Centrist:中間路線者,left-wing左派,right-wing右派
Mandate:授權,在這個語境中,等于support。
Project:預測
在一個決定性的勝利之后,許諾要改革法國經濟的中間路線者,馬克龍,一周之內將會宣誓就職(承擔總統職責)。這位年僅39歲的法國總統,在昨天的決定性競選中,獲得了65.8%的支持率,已經超過了大多數的民意調查的預測。然而,他的對手,國家正線的極右翼組織,勒龐只獲得了34.2%的支持率。
It takes nothing to join in the crowd but it takes everything to stand alone.
要想隨波逐流,無需費力;要想出類拔萃,就得拼盡全力。
