唐納德·川普在美國大選中擊敗卡馬拉·哈里斯，實現最偉大的政治逆轉

這本應是一場刀鋒上的美國大選，一場勢均力敵、難以預測的競爭。

Kamala Harris has suffered a crushing defeat in the US presidential election, losing key swing states and performing worse than Joe Biden's 2020 results in all but two states.

卡馬拉·哈里斯在美國總統選舉中遭遇慘敗，失去了關鍵搖擺州，並且在除兩個州外的所有州的表現都比喬·拜登的2020年成績還要差。

The result is a remarkable turnaround for Donald Trump, who was given little chance of pulling off the greatest of political comebacks when he announced his bid to become president again in November 2022.

結果對唐納德·川普來說是一個顯著的轉變，當他在 2022 年 11 月宣布再次競選總統時，幾乎沒有機會實現最大的政治東山再起。

Only one man in history has been re-elected after losing the presidency, and Trump had at one time seemed more likely to spend his late 70s in prison than in the Oval Office.

歷史上只有一位在失去總統職位後再次當選的人，而川普一度似乎更有可能在監獄裡度過 70 多歲的時光，而不是在橢圓形辦公室度過。

But Ms Harris had a golden opportunity to capitalise on Trump's weaknesses, having failed to secure the Democratic nomination in 2020 and facing questions about her ability to inspire voters.

但哈里斯女士有一個利用川普弱點的絕佳機會，她未能獲得 2020 年民主黨提名，並面臨她激勵選民能力的質疑。

Yet swathes of black voters, Latin Americans, women, blue collar workers and the young all turned their backs on her, preferring instead the man who had been portrayed by so many as their enemy.

然而，大批黑人選民、拉丁美洲人、婦女、藍領工人和年輕人都背棄了她，轉而選擇了這個被許多人視為敵人的男人。

As an extraordinary election night unfolded, it became obvious that Trump's opponents had once again woefully underestimated his ability to connect with a coalition of voters drawn from all parts of society.

隨著一個非同尋常的選舉之夜的展開，川普的反對者顯然再次嚴重低估了他與來自社會各階層的選民聯盟建立聯繫的能力。

Good news for Ms Harris - or so it seemed at first

對哈里斯女士來說是個好消息——至少一開始看起來是這樣

The night had started so differently for Ms Harris and her supporters.

對於哈里斯女士和她的支持者來說，這個夜晚的開始是如此不同。

Early exit polls from the first states to close their polling stations prompted talk of a Harris landslide, thanks to some wishful thinking about the motivation of voters.

由於對選民動機的一些一廂情願的想法，第一批關閉投票站的州提前進行的出口民調引發了哈里斯壓倒性的討論。
