美国有线新闻 CNN 特朗普获所需代表票数 锁定共和党总统候选人提名（在线收听）

First though we want to bring you up to speed on the U.S. presidential election process.

首先，我们想带大家了解一下美国总统选举进程。

The primaries and caucuses that are scheduled to be going on now help determine who will actually appear on the presidential ballot. And though the state of Ohio canceled its primary earlier this week, contests for Democrats were still held in Arizona, Florida and Illinois. And in all three of those primaries on Tuesday, former Vice President Joe Biden won and he expanded his lead over U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont.

目前计划举行的初选和党团会议有助于确定谁的名字能真正出现在总统选票上。虽然俄亥俄州本周早些时候取消了初选，但亚利桑那州、佛罗里达州以及伊利诺伊州仍按计划举行了民主党党团会议。在周二举行的这三场初选中，获胜者都是前副总统乔·拜登，这扩大了他对美国佛蒙特州参议员伯尼·桑德斯的领先优势。

When we say "lead", we mean the number of pledged delegates each candidate is expected to get from winning these primaries and caucuses. And when we produced this show former Vice President Biden had an estimated 1,086 delegates while Senator Sanders had 772. Sander's campaign manager said the Senator would be having conversations with his supporters in the weeks ahead about the state of his campaign. There were also questions about the state of the primaries themselves because the next two scheduled contests in Georgia and Puerto Rico have been canceled due to concerns over coronavirus.

我们所说的“领先”指每名候选人在初选和党团会议上获胜后得到的承诺代表票数。在我们制作本期节目时，据估计前副总统乔·拜登获得了1086张代表票，而参议员桑德斯获得了772张代表票。桑德斯的竞选经理表示，桑德斯将在未来几周与支持者就其竞选情况进行对话。初选本身也存在问题，因为原定接下来在佐治亚州和波多黎各举行的两场竞选由于担心冠状病毒而取消。

Meanwhile, Florida and Illinois held primaries for Republicans on Tuesday. And the U.S. territory of American Samoa held a caucus yesterday. Though we don't yet have those caucus results, we can say that the wins that incumbent President Donald Trump got in Florida and Illinois gave him the delegates he needed to clinch the GOP nomination, so he will once again be the Republican nominee for president.

同时，佛罗里达州和伊利诺伊州在星期二举行了共和党初选。美属萨摩亚昨天举行了党团会议。虽然目前我们还未得到这些党团会议的结果，但我们可以说，现任总统唐纳德·特朗普在佛罗里达州和伊利诺伊州获胜，这使他获得了共和党提名的足够代表票，因此，他将再次成为共和党总统候选人。
