美国两场关键参议院选举的候选人已在最后一场辩论中交锋，此时距离11月3日中期选举不到两周。
Candidates in two key United States Senate races have faced off in their final debates, less than two weeks before the November 3 midterm elections.
在密歇根州，民主党人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德和共和党人迈克·罗杰斯周三就各自的政治观点以及美国-以色列对伊朗的战争互相指责。
In Michigan, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers exchanged accusations on Wednesday regarding their political views and the US-Israel war on Iran.
在堪萨斯州，共和党参议员罗杰·马歇尔与他的民主党对手亚当·汉密尔顿就柴油价格上涨以及总统唐纳德·特朗普进口俄罗斯燃料的计划存在分歧。
In Kansas, Republican Senator Roger Marshall and his Democratic opponent, Adam Hamilton, disagreed about the rising price of diesel and President Donald Trump’s plan to import Russian fuel.
两场选举的结果都将影响哪个政党最终控制参议院。共和党目前以100个席位中的53席主导国会参议院。民主党占有45席，另有两位参议员为独立人士，他们与民主党党团合作。以下是这些辩论的一些关键要点：密歇根州 罗杰斯在某些议题上与特朗普保持距离 罗杰斯对特朗普的部分关税提出质疑，称其是“好坏参半”。虽然他支持采取措施将汽车制造业从中国和墨西哥带回密歇根州，但他质疑关税对加拿大的影响。
The results of both elections will influence which party ends up in control of the Senate. The Republicans currently dominate Congress’s upper chamber with 53 of its 100 seats. Democrats hold 45, and two senators are independents who caucus with the Democratic Party. Here are some of the key takeaways from these debates: Michigan Rogers distances himself from Trump on some topics Rogers questioned some of Trump’s tariffs, describing them as a “mixed bag”. While he supported taking steps to bring automobile manufacturing back to Michigan from China and Mexico, he questioned the impact of tariffs on Canada.
“我已经退一步说，也许这些对加拿大的关税考虑得不够周全，”罗杰斯说，他指的是两国汽车工业之间的紧密联系。密歇根州位于加拿大边境，是美国汽车制造业就业岗位最多的州。罗杰斯坚称，如果当选，他将把密歇根州的利益放在首位。
“I have stepped back and said maybe these Canadian tariffs were not well thought through,” Rogers said, referring to the close ties between the automobile industries of the two countries. Michigan sits on the Canadian border and is the US state with the most car-manufacturing jobs. Rogers insisted he would put Michigan’s interests first if elected.
“如果对密歇根有利，我就会支持。如果对密歇根不利，我就会反对，”他说。他反驳了埃尔-赛义德反复提及特朗普的做法。
“If it’s good for Michigan, I’m going to be for it. If it’s bad for Michigan, I’m going to be against it,” he said. He pushed back against El-Sayed’s repeated references to Trump.
“该玩宾果游戏了，数数他在过去，随便吧，30分钟内的任何回答里能塞进多少次‘特朗普’这个词，”他说。“太荒唐了。” 伊朗成为焦点 埃尔-赛义德指责罗杰斯支持对伊朗的战争，并将美国燃料和食品价格上涨归咎于这场战争。
“The bingo game ought to be how many times can he put the word Trump in any answer that he has given in the last, whatever, 30 minutes,” he said. “It’s ridiculous.”Iran takes centre stage El-Sayed accused Rogers of supporting the war on Iran, which he blamed for rising fuel and food prices in the US.
他表示，他认为伊朗对美国国家安全构成了威胁，但他同时主张，在前总统巴拉克·奥巴马任内谈判达成的2015年核协议曾通过外交手段帮助遏制了这一威胁。
He said he believed Iran had posed a threat to US national security but argued that the 2015 nuclear deal, negotiated under former President Barack Obama, had helped to contain it through diplomacy.
《联合全面行动计划》（JCPOA）由伊朗与包括美国在内的多个世界大国签署。该协议对伊朗的核计划施加限制，包括严格限制铀浓缩，并迫使伊朗接受国际核查，以换取制裁解除。
Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was signed by Iran and several world powers, including the US. It placed restrictions on Iran’s nuclear programme, including strictly limiting uranium enrichment and compelling Iran to submit to international inspections, in exchange for sanctions relief.
特朗普于2018年让美国退出了该协议，理由是它未能充分解决伊朗的核野心、弹道导弹计划以及对该地区武装组织的支持。
Trump withdrew the US from the agreement in 2018, arguing that it failed to adequately address Iran’s nuclear ambitions and ballistic missile programme and support for armed groups in the region.
埃尔-赛义德批评特朗普在第一任期内放弃该协议，并在第二任期内对伊朗发动战争。埃尔-赛义德认为，美国民众为此付出了代价。
El-Sayed criticised Trump for abandoning the agreement during his first term and launching a war against Iran during his second. El-Sayed argued that Americans have been left paying the price.
“这场战争的后果是，你要支付近5美元（每加仑，即3.8升）的汽油费。由于柴油价格，你在食品杂货上要花更多钱，”他说。
“The consequences of this war are that you are paying nearly $5 [per gallon, or 3.8 litres] in gas. You’re paying more in groceries because of the price of diesel,” he said.
据美国汽车协会（AAA）数据，周三密歇根州普通汽油均价为每加仑4.44美元，高于去年同期的2.92美元。同期柴油价格从每加仑3.62美元涨至6.41美元。
According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), regular petrol in Michigan averaged $4.44 per gallon on Wednesday, up from $2.92 a year earlier. Diesel prices rose from $3.62 to $6.41 per gallon over the same period.
埃尔-赛义德还试图将罗杰斯与特朗普联系在一起，后者预计将于周日前往密歇根州竞选。
El-Sayed also sought to tie Rogers to Trump, who is expected to campaign in Michigan on Sunday.
“唐纳德·特朗普通过迈克·罗杰斯出现在选票上。他们在这场战争上紧密站在一起，而你在为此付出代价，”他说。
“Donald Trump is on the ballot through Mike Rogers. They are hip-to-hip on this war, and you are paying the cost,” he said.
“迈克·罗杰斯早在进入国会之前就一直在推动这场战争。他什么事都要打一场仗，现在他也不会从这场战争中退让。”罗杰斯呼吁民主党人。罗杰斯向支持海莉·史蒂文斯的民主党人发出呼吁，埃尔-赛义德在民主党初选中击败了史蒂文斯。
“Mike Rogers has been promoting this war since before he was in Congress. He’s got a war for everything, and he won’t back off the war now.”Rogers calls on Democrats Rogers appealed to Democrats who supported Haley Stevens, whom El-Sayed defeated in the Democratic primary.
“如果你是海莉·史蒂文斯的选民，看完这场辩论后觉得‘哎呀，我实在受不了。他太极端了’，那么，猜怎么着？我们这里欢迎你，”他说，并声称越来越多的民主党人现在支持他的竞选。
“If you were a Haley Stevens voter and you came out of this and you said, ‘Man, I just can’t do it. He’s too extreme,’ well, guess what? You’ll have a home with us,” he said, and claimed that a growing number of Democrats are now backing his campaign.
辩论中较具争议的时刻之一出现在罗杰斯暗示埃尔-赛义德与哈马斯等组织拥有相同的支持者时，埃尔-赛义德对此予以反驳。
One of the more contentious moments of the debate came when Rogers suggested El-Sayed had the same supporters as groups like Hamas, allegations El-Sayed pushed back against.
“你可以咧嘴笑，可以微笑，可以讲得冠冕堂皇，但我要告诉你，这对我们的国家安全构成威胁，”罗杰斯说。他在辩论后告诉记者，他质疑埃尔-赛义德若当选，能否通过参议员的安全许可审查。埃尔-赛义德称这些指控“可耻”。
“You can grin and you can smile and you can talk real pretty, but I’m going to tell you what, that is a risk to our national security,” Rogers said. He told reporters after the debate that he questions whether El-Sayed could get a security clearance for senators if he’s elected. El-Sayed called the allegations “shameful”.
埃尔-赛义德与罗杰斯在移民和“移民与海关执法局”问题上交锋 移民引发了另一轮激烈交锋。
El-Sayed and Rogers clash over immigration and ICE Immigration sparked another heated exchange.
罗杰斯为特朗普政府的移民打压政策辩护，辩称“移民与海关执法局”（ICE）的行动有助于降低犯罪率。
Rogers defended the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, arguing that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations had helped reduce crime.
“我们应该继续这样做。找出那些犯罪的人，把他们赶出这个国家，”罗杰斯说。
“We should continue to do that. Find those folks who are committing crimes and get them the heck out of the country,” Rogers said.
埃尔-赛义德批评“移民与海关执法局”的战术，指责罗杰斯支持对学校、工作场所和礼拜场所进行突袭。
El-Sayed criticised ICE’s tactics, accusing Rogers of supporting raids on schools, workplaces and places of worship.
“他支持‘移民与海关执法局’在你的街道上横行霸道。他们不必告诉你他们是谁。他们不必告诉你他们为什么在那里，”埃尔-赛义德说。“我认为我们不需要‘移民与海关执法局’，”他补充道。
“He supports ICE running through your streets. They don’t have to tell you who they are. They don’t have to tell you why they’re there,” El-Sayed said. “I believe that we don’t need ICE,” he added.
马歇尔将柴油价格高企归咎于乌克兰战争 在与民主党挑战者的最后一场辩论中，马歇尔表示，是俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争，而非伊朗战争，导致柴油价格飙升。
Kansas Marshall blames Ukraine war for high diesel prices Marshall said Russia’s war on Ukraine rather than the Iran war was responsible for soaring diesel prices during his final debate with his Democratic challenger.
这位共和党人的言论呼应了特朗普最近对乌克兰的批评，包括他声称乌克兰对俄罗斯炼油厂的袭击导致燃料成本上升。
The Republican’s comments echoed Trump’s recent criticism of Ukraine, including his claim that Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries have caused rising fuel costs.
特朗普已与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京达成协议，向美国和全球市场释放俄罗斯柴油库存以平抑价格，马歇尔对此想法有所保留。
Trump has agreed a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to release stocks of Russian diesel to the US and global markets to ease prices, an idea Marshall greeted with some reservations.
“这听起来不是什么好主意，”马歇尔说。但他补充道：“如果这能把俄罗斯拉到谈判桌前并结束战争，那我现在完全支持。”
“It doesn’t sound like a great idea,” Marshall said. But he added: “If this brings Russia to the bargaining table and it ends the war, then I am all for it right now.”
汉密尔顿愤怒地回应：“你刚才说的是你要出卖我们在乌克兰的朋友。这不行。”柴油价格已成为堪萨斯州的一个关键竞选议题，该州农民严重依赖这种燃料。据AAA的数据，本周该州柴油均价为每加仑6.32美元，而一年前为3.62美元。
Hamilton responded angrily: “What you said just now is you’re going to sell out our friends in Ukraine. That’s not OK.”Diesel prices have become a key campaign issue in Kansas, where farmers depend heavily on the fuel. According to AAA, diesel averaged $6.32 a gallon this week in the state, compared with $3.62 a year earlier.
汉密尔顿将价格上涨归咎于特朗普对伊朗的战争，并呼吁暂时暂停联邦燃油税。马歇尔也表示希望战争尽快结束，但并未承诺试图迫使特朗普结束战争。
Hamilton blamed the price rises on Trump’s war on Iran and called for a temporary suspension of federal fuel taxes. Marshall has also said he wants the war to end soon but has not committed to trying to force Trump to end it.
民主党参议员候选人亚当·汉密尔顿（左）与共和党籍美国参议员罗杰·马歇尔在密苏里州堪萨斯城WDAF-TV演播室的辩论中交锋 [法新社] ICE突袭令堪萨斯州候选人产生分歧 汉密尔顿批评了近期的ICE突袭行动，而马歇尔则为特朗普的边境政策辩护。
Democratic senatorial candidate Adam Hamilton, left, and US Senator Roger Marshall, a Republican, face off in a debate at WDAF-TV studios in Kansas City, Missouri [AFP] ICE raids divide Kansas candidates Hamilton criticised recent ICE raids while Marshall defended Trump’s border policies.
两位候选人都对将E-Verify系统——该系统允许雇主核查员工是否有合法工作授权——强制适用于企业表示了谨慎支持。
Both candidates expressed cautious support for making E-Verify, a system that allows employers to check whether workers are legally authorised to work in the US, mandatory for businesses.
“我认为这是个好主意。当然，细节决定成败，”马歇尔说，并称共和党已经守住了边境，现在可以专注于修复移民制度。
“I think it’s a good idea. Of course, the devil’s in the details,” Marshall said, arguing that Republicans had secured the border and could now focus on fixing the immigration system.
汉密尔顿向马歇尔发起挑战，后者曾提到自己在行医生涯中为无证父母接生。
Hamilton challenged Marshall, who had mentioned delivering babies for undocumented parents during his medical career.
“你有没有也打电话给ICE，让他们把人带走？你对这些人做了什么？”汉密尔顿问道。
“Did you also call ICE and ask them to be taken away? What did you do with these people?”Hamilton asked.
“你对他们送走这些孩子心怀同情，但随后你又支持配额。他们要把人带走。堪萨斯州哈钦森，我当时在场。有一名幼儿园老师当着孩子们的面被逮捕了，”他补充道。
“You had compassion for them in delivering these children, but then you support quotas. They’re going to have people taken away. Hutchinson, Kansas, I was there. There was a preschool teacher arrested in front of her children,” he added.
汉密尔顿还批评了移民和海关执法局近期在堪萨斯州西南部开展的突袭行动，警告说这些行动让工人感到恐惧，并扰乱了农业产业。
Hamilton also criticised recent ICE raids in southwestern Kansas, warning that they were frightening workers and disrupting the agricultural industry.
“移民和海关执法局一出现，人们就吓坏了，因为他们已经被军事化、政治化了，所以人们不敢去上班，”他说。
“People are terrified when ICE shows up because they’ve been militarised, politicised, and so people don’t show up at work,” he said.
“我们不希望社区里的人生活在恐惧之中。”向以色列出售武器 汉密尔顿批评美国武器在加沙的使用，而马歇尔则为华盛顿与以色列的同盟关系辩护。
“We don’t want people terrified in our communities.”Selling weapons to Israel Hamilton criticised the use of US weapons in Gaza while Marshall defended Washington’s alliance with Israel.
汉密尔顿说，他支持向以色列提供防御性武器，但反对提供用于攻击人口稠密地区的炸弹。
Hamilton said he supported providing Israel with defensive weapons but opposed supplying bombs used in attacks on densely populated areas.
“当你看到加沙整座整座城市被夷为平地时，我们现在谈论的就不只是铲除哈马斯了，”汉密尔顿说。
“When you see entire cities flattened in Gaza, now we’re not just talking about rooting out Hamas,” Hamilton said.
“他们用我们的援助来购买我们的武器，然后把它们投到无辜平民头上。这绝对不行。这不体面。这不是我们美国人应有的样子。”马歇尔为以色列辩护，称其是华盛顿最亲密的盟友之一，并被问及在什么情况下他会阻止武器出售。
“They’re using our aid to buy our weapons and then dropping them on innocent civilians. That’s just not OK. It’s not decent. It’s not who we are as Americans.”Marshall defended Israel as one of Washington’s closest allies and was asked whether there were circumstances in which he would block a weapons sale.
“我相信会有这种情况。但我不确定具体是什么情况，”马歇尔说。
“I’m sure there is. I’m not sure what it would be,” Marshall said.
马歇尔强调了强大军事同盟的重要性，但表示华盛顿应该优先考虑国内事务。
Marshall stressed the importance of strong military alliances but said Washington should prioritise domestic concerns.
“我要确保我们的边境安全。让我们先处理好国内的事情，”他说。
“I want to make sure that our borders are secure. Let’s take care of things at home first,” he said.
