介绍： BBC News. Hello, I'm Jerry Smit. Sir Lanka's controversial former wartime Defense Chief Gotabaya Rajapaksa has claimed victory in the presidential election. The election commission has yet to release official results, but his main rival Sajith Premadasa has conceded. It's been a polarizing vote. From Colombo, here's Jill McGivering. Gotabaya Rajapaksa comments passionate support among many in the Buddhist Sinhalese majority in Sir Lanka. He and his brother Mahinda, who was president here for ten years, are credited with bringing an end to the country's long civil war. Now, his supporters want him to restore stability in the aftermath of the Easter attacks by Islamic militants. He's a controversial figure who denies claims of ruthlessness and human rights abuses. His main rival, Sajith Premadasa was strongly supported by the Tamil and Muslim minorities here. He offered a more liberal and inclusive vision, but may have been damaged by his links to the current government.

BBC 新闻。大家好，我是杰瑞·施密特。斯里兰卡备受争议的前战时国防部长戈塔巴雅·拉贾帕克萨宣布在总统选举中获胜。选举委员会尚未公布官方结果，但他的主要竞争对手萨伊特·普雷马达萨已做出让步。这是一次两极分化的投票。以下是吉尔·麦吉弗林在科伦坡的报道。戈塔巴雅·拉贾帕克向热情支持者发表言论，斯里兰卡是一个僧伽罗佛教徒占多数的国家。他的兄弟马欣达担任了10年的总统，他们被誉为结束了该国长期内战的功臣。现在，在经历过伊斯兰武装分子的复活节袭击后，他的支持者希望他能够恢复国内稳定。他是一个有争议的人物，但他否认了冷酷无情和侵犯人权的指控。他的主要竞争对手萨伊特·普雷马达萨得到了当地泰米尔和穆斯林少数民族的大力支持。
他提出了一个更加自由和包容的愿景，但他与现任政府的联系可能已经损害了这一愿景。
