Why America's rifts are only deepening

美国的分裂为何日益严重

The car horns blared as Joe biden Took The stage just before 1 a.m.—not to proclaim victory, but to urge his supporters not to lose hope, no matter what President Donald Trump might say. "We believe we are on track to win this election," the former Vice President told the crowd in Wilmington, Del., on Nov. 4. "It ain't over until every vote is counted. Keep the faith, guys."

凌晨1点左右，当拜登登上舞台，汽车喇叭随之鸣响——不是在宣告胜利，而是鼓励他的支持者无论唐纳德·特朗普总统说什么，都不要失去希望。这位前副总统于11月4日在特拉华州威尔明顿市对着人群说道：“我相信我们就快赢了！选票还没有清点完，选举还没有结束，大家千万不要放弃。”

As the new day dawned and dragged on, it increasingly looked as though Biden was right. Having flipped Michigan, Arizona and Wisconsin, Biden appeared to be inching toward victory. Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina remained too close to call as of the evening of Nov. 4. Independent forecasters believed Biden was likely to eke out the requisite 270 electoral votes when all the votes were counted, over the President's noisy objections.

随着第二天的到来和拉长，拜登的话也逐渐得到了验证。在拿下密歇根、亚利桑那和威斯康辛州之后，拜登离胜利越来越近。但截至11月4日晚，宾夕法尼亚州、乔治亚州、内华达州和北卡罗来纳州仍然势均力敌，难分胜负。这时有独立预测人士认为，在所有选票清点完毕后，拜登很有可能顶住总统的强烈反对而勉强获得所需的270张选举人票。
