  • China Congratulates Obama on Election Victory
  • 中國領導人祝賀歐巴馬總統連任成功
  •   China's Communist leaders have congratulated U.S. President Barack Obama on his re-election victory, even as Beijing turns its focus toward its own political transition that gets underway this week.
  • 中國領導人向美國總統歐巴馬發出賀電,祝賀他連任成功‧即便北京本星期正在把註意力轉向中國自己的領導層交接,但是中國的共產黨領導人還是對美國總統歐巴馬連任成功表示祝賀。

  •   Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei told reporters that President Hu Jintao and his soon-to-be-successor, Vice President Xi Jinping, look forward to working with Mr. Obama to advance Sino-American relations.
  • 中國外交部發言人洪磊對記者說,胡錦濤主席和即將接任的習近平副主席,期待和歐巴馬總統合作推進中美關你係。

  •   "Maintaining a steady, healthy and stable development of China-U.S. relations serves the fundamental interests of the two countries and the two peoples as well as peace, stability and development of the Asia Pacific region and beyond.
  • 洪磊說:“正如胡主席在賀電中指出,近四年來,在雙方共同努力下,中美關係取得了積極進展;保持中美關係持續健康穩定發展,符合兩國人民的根本利益,也有利於亞太地區乃至世界的和平、穩定與發展。

  •   China is ready to work with the U.S. side, look to the future and make continuous efforts for fresh and greater progress in the building of China-U.S. cooperative partnership and deliver greater benefits to the two peoples and people of the world."

  •   The timing of the U.S. election has highlighted China's very different political transition.
  • 美國這次大選在中共 18 大之前舉行,正好凸顯出中國非常不同的政治權力交接。

  •   The secretive, behind-the-scenes process begins Thursday with the 18th Party Congress in the heavily guarded capital, Beijing.

  • Chinese Get Taste of U.S. Electoral Process With Mock Vote
  • 中國人模擬投票體驗美國大選程序
  •   About 200 Chinese citizens got a taste of the U.S. electoral process when they took part in a mock vote hosted by the U.S. Embassy in Beijing on Wednesday, just a day before China begins its own very different handover of power.
  • 大約 200 名中國人星期三在美國駐北京大使館參加了模擬投票,體驗美國選舉過程;而一天之後,也就是星期四,中國將開始一個全然不同的權力交接程序。

  •   Chinese voters at the event overhwelmingly voted for President Barack Obama over his Republican rival Mitt Romney.
  • 參加這次活動的中國人大都投票支持歐巴馬總統,而不是他的競爭對手羅姆尼。

  •   The voters were part of a larger group of about 600 guests who attended the election-watching party that has become a tradition at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing.
  • 按照傳統,每次美國總統大選投票的時候,美國駐北京大使館都會舉行一個觀看大選的聚會;大約 600 人參加了今年的聚會。

  •   A U.S. embassy spokesperson told VOA the event was meant to teach foreigners, including Chinese, about the details of the American electoral process.
  • 美國駐北京大使館的發言人對美國之音說,這項活動是為了向包括中國人在內的外國人介紹美國的選舉程序。

  •   The event was held to coincide with the November 6th U.S. election.
  • 活動安排在美國大選投票日 11 月 6 日。

  •   The mock vote occurred just one day before the 18th Party Congress in Beijing -- a secretive meeting that will usher in China's next generation of Communist leaders.
  • 一天之後,中共中央將在北京舉行十八大;這是一次閉門會議,會議將產生中共中央下一屆領導人。

  •   Many of the mock voters did not ignore the contrast between the U.S. election and the rigid, non-democratic Chinese leadership transition, telling foreign reporters they wish to be able to someday choose their own leaders in China.
  • 參加模擬投票的許多人都注意到美國大選與僵硬的、非民主化的中國領導層權力移交這兩者之間的不同;他們對外國記者說,希望他們有一天能夠選擇自己的領導人。

  •   Rachel Lu, the editor of Tea Leaf Nation, a website that monitors Chinese social media, tells VOA that Chinese web users are also expressing their preference for the U.S. electoral process online.
  • 茶國家網Tea Leaf Nation 的編輯 Rachel 魯告訴美國之音,中國網民也在網上表示更喜歡美國的選舉程序;茶國家網主要是監督中國的社交網站。

  •   Lu says more than 3 million U.S. election-related microblog messages were posted on Sina Weibo, China's largest social media outlet, in a 24-hour period leading up to the vote.
  • 她(Rachel 魯) 說,在投票前的 24 小時內,新浪網上就有大約 300 萬條有關選舉的微博;新浪微博是中國最大的社交網站。

  •   She said Mr. Obama's re-election was well-received on Chinese microblogs, citing an unscientific survey by Sina Weibo that found more than 75 percent of respondents supporting the incumbent U.S. president.
  • 她說,中國的微博大都歡迎歐巴馬連任;她例舉了新浪微博所做的一個並不科學的調查,調查顯示,75 % 接受調查的人支持現任總統歐巴馬。

  •   But she said the Chinese political process has failed to generate similar excitement among many web users, saying that many feel disconnected from the country's political process.
  • 但是她說,中國的政治程序並沒有引起廣大網民的熱情,很多網民覺得自己和國家政治程序沒有什麼關係。

  •   A survey last month for Pew Research Center suggests more than half of the people in the single-party state have a positive opinion of American ideas about democracy.
  • 皮尤研究中心上星期進行的一次調查顯示,在一黨執政的中國,超過半數的人口對美國的民主理念持積極看法。
