明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·沃尔兹（民主党）和参议员 J·D·万斯（俄亥俄州共和党）将于周二在第一副总统辩论中展开正面交锋

这两位竞选搭档此前从未在辩论中发生过争执，但他们在竞选过程中却不断地互相攻击。

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) will face off in their first and likely only vice presidential debate Tuesday.

明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·沃尔兹（民主党）和参议员 J·D·万斯（俄亥俄州共和党）将于周二进行他们的第一次也是可能唯一一次副总统辩论。

The two running mates have never debated before, but they have traded barbs on the campaign trail. Vance has scrutinized Walz’s military record while the Minnesota governor has called the senator and former President Trump “weird.”

这两位竞选搭档以前从未辩论过，但他们在竞选过程中却互相吐槽。万斯仔细审查了沃尔兹的军事记录，而明尼苏达州州长则称这位参议员和前总统特朗普“很奇怪”。

The debate, which will kick off at 9 p.m. EDT on Tuesday from CBS News’s New York office, will be moderated by CBS anchor Norah O’Donnell and “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan.

这场辩论将于美国东部时间周二晚上 9 点在哥伦比亚广播公司新闻纽约办公室开始，由哥伦比亚广播公司主播诺拉·奥唐纳和《面对国家》主持人玛格丽特·布伦南主持。

Both campaigns have agreed to CBS’s rules for the debate, which were announced Friday.

两个竞选团队都同意哥伦比亚广播公司周五宣布的辩论规则。

Walz will be on the right side of the stage from a viewer’s standpoint, with Vance on the left. The Democratic vice presidential nominee, being the incumbent party’s candidate, will be introduced first by the moderators, according to the outlet. Both candidates will remain at the podium for the entire length of the 90-minute showdown.

从观众的角度来看，沃尔兹将位于舞台的右侧，万斯位于左侧。据该媒体报道，民主党副总统候选人是现任党的候选人，将首先由主持人介绍。在整个 90 分钟的对决中，两位候选人都将留在领奖台上。

There will be no opening statements or live studio audience, similar to the debate earlier this month between former Trump and Vice President Harris.

不会有开场白或现场观众，类似于本月早些时候前特朗普和副总统哈里斯之间的辩论。

The candidates will get two minutes to answer each question. Then, two minutes will be given to their counterpart to push back. After that, the VP hopefuls will each get one minute for rebuttals, the outlet said in its release. Both Vance and Walz will have a countdown clock to know how much time they have left.

候选人将有两分钟的时间回答每个问题。然后，将给予对方两分钟的时间进行反击。该媒体在新闻稿中称，此后，副总统候选人将每人有一分钟的时间进行反驳。万斯和沃尔兹都会有一个倒计时来知道他们还剩下多少时间。

The moderators will be seated during the debate. Microphones can be muted if the network decides, but they will be hot, CBS noted.

辩论期间主持人将就座。哥伦比亚广播公司指出，如果网络决定，麦克风可以静音，但它们会很热。

The candidates cannot use pre-written notes or have props, but they will be given a pen, paper and water. Staffers are also not allowed to engage with the vice presidential candidates during breaks.

候选人不能使用预先写好的笔记或道具，但他们会得到笔、纸和水。工作人员也不得在休息期间与副总统候选人接触。

The contenders will have two minutes for closing statements. Vance won a coin toss Thursday and opted to go second, thus being given the last word, CBS said.

参赛者将有两分钟的结案陈词。哥伦比亚广播公司称，万斯周四在掷硬币中获胜，选择了第二名，因此获得了最终决定权。
