As the first results begin to come in from Britain's closely-fought general election, 英国竞争激烈的大选开始公布首批结果, an exit poll suggests the Conservatives, led by the Prime Minister, David Cameroon, will become by far the largest party. 选举后民调显示由首相戴维·卡梅伦领导的保守党将成为至今为止最大党。 The poll, commissioned by the BBC and other broadcasters, pose the Conservatives on 316 seats in Parliament, just short of an overall majority. 这次民调是由BBC和其他广播公司委托进行的,显示保守党获得议会316个席位,未能获得绝对多数支持, It says the main opposition, Labour Party, will trail in second place with 239 seats. 民调称主要的在野党工党以239个席位居于第二位。 Peter Kellner from the polling firm, YouGov, told the BBC there could be several reasons for today's poll. 民调公司舆观的皮特·凯尔纳告诉BBC有几个原因导致了今天的民调结果。 "The first is that the exit poll is right, and all the polls that came out in the last 24 hours, ours is one of eleven, all eleven showed Conservative and Labour neck and neck. “第一种可能是民调结果正确,在过去24小时内进行的民调中,我们是11个民调之一,所有的11个民调显示保守党和工党不相上下。 Second possibility is exit poll is wrong, and the eve of poll polls were right. 第二种可能是民调结果错误,而民调之前的情况是对的。 Third possibility, something happened today. We interviewed six thousand people today and we could find no sign of any net movement in any direction. 第三种可能是今天出现了一些情况,我们今天采访了6000人,发现没有迹象显示向任何方向变化。 So I think we can rule out an on-the-day shift. Fourth possibility is it is somewhere in the middle that the Tories have done bits better than the eve of poll." 所以我想我们可以排除掉一天之内的变化。第四种可能是保守党在中间某个时候表现得比民调前更好了。” Marco Gholf is a senior Conservative."If this is correct, then the public responded enthusiastically to the campaign that we put forward, 马克是一位资深的保守党人士,“如果民调结果正确,那么说明公众对我们进行的竞选活动反应很热烈, and rewarded David Cameroon and our team with an increased number of seats. 以席位的增加来回报戴维·卡梅伦和我们的团队。 And I have to say, if the poll's right, that's unprecedented for more tha thirty years." 如果民调正确,那我一定要说的是,这是30多年来前所未有之事。” The former leader of the Liberal Democrats, Paddy Ashdown, also dismissed the exit poll is wrong, and pointed to a different predicted outcome in another survey. 自由民主党前领袖派迪·阿什道称民调结果不错,指出另一次调查中发现不同的预测结果。 "If this exit poll is right, I will publicly eat my hat on your programme. I think this YouGov poll right now, which gives us not 10 seats, not 20 seats, but 31 seats. “如果这次民调属实,我可以在你的节目上吃掉我的帽子,这次舆观的民调给了我们不是10个席位,也不是20个席位,而是31个席位。 So one or other of these two polls is wrong, and I'll bet you my hat eaten on your programme for that's wrong.所以这两个民调中总有一个是错误的, 我打赌我敢在你的节目上吃掉我的帽子。" The poll says the SNP will take 58 out of the 59 seats in Scotland, making huge gains from the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats. 民调称苏格兰民主党将获得苏格兰59个席位中的58个,从工党和自由民主党那里获得巨大收益。 The general election comes 8 months after Scotland voted in a referendum to remain part of the United Kingdom. 就在这次大选举行的8个月前,苏格兰参加公投并继续留在英国。 In other news, the Saudi-led coalition that's been bombing Houthis rebels in Yemen has said it will respond harshly after the rebels launched a number of deadly attacks on Saudi territory. 一直在也门轰炸胡塞叛军的沙特为首联盟称,由于叛军对沙特领土进行多次致命袭击,将予以强力回击。 A coalition spokesman said that by firing shells across the border, the rebels had crossed the red line. 联盟发言人称叛军越过边境发射炮弹,这就越过了红线。 He was speaking hours after the Saudi government proposed a 5-day ceasefire to allow relief agencies to deliver aid to civilians across Yemen. 就在他讲话几小时前,沙特政府提出进行5天的停火,来让援助机构给也门各地的平民运送援助物资。 The proposal was announced during a visit by the U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry.
