特朗普稱對選舉結果保留起訴權

Donald Trump has continued to stoke the controversy over whether he would accept the result of next month’s presidential election, saying he would “accept a clear election result” but would file a legal challenge “in case of a questionable result”.

唐納德.特朗普(Donald Trump)就是否會接受下月總統大選結果繼續激發爭議，稱他會“接受一個明確的選舉結果”，但“如果結果可疑”將提出法律挑戰。

In his first remarks since sparking bipartisan anger at the final presidential debate by suggesting he might not concede a loss on November 8, the Republican nominee told a rally in Ohio on Thursday that he would “abide by all of the rules and traditions of all of the many candidates who have come before me”.

特朗普在最後一次總統辯論中暗示自己或許不會在11月8日承認失敗，從而在兩黨都引發憤怒。隨後這位共和黨總統提名候選人週四在俄亥俄州的一個集會上表示，他將“遵守之前所有那麼多候選人的一切規則和傳統”。

But he appeared to hedge his bets, saying he would “reserve my right” to launch legal proceedings if he found fault in the election, and taunted his critics by saying he would be happy to accept the result, but only if he were victorious.

但他似乎爲自己留了後路，表示如果他發現選舉有瑕疵，他將“保留（提起法律訴訟）的權利”，並調侃他的批評者說他樂意接受結果——只要是他贏得大選。

“I would like to promise and pledge to all my voters and supporters, and to all of the people of the United States, that I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election — if I win,” he said.

特朗普說：“我願向我的所有選民和支持者以及所有美國人民作出承諾和保證，我將完全接受這場偉大的、歷史性的總統選舉的結果——只要我贏了。”

His remarks were made after several Republican leaders condemned his claims the election process was rigged and his performance at the debate, where he said “I’ll keep you in suspense” when was asked if he would concede if defeated.

在做出上述評論前，多名共和黨領袖譴責了特朗普宣稱大選過程被操縱的言論以及他在辯論中的表現——當被問及如果落敗是否會接受選舉結果時，特朗普說“我先留個懸念”。

John McCain, the Republican party’s failed 2008 presidential nominee, chastised his successor for questioning the integrity of the US election system, saying it was the duty of all losing candidates to accept the result.

在2008年總統大選中失利的共和黨提名候選人約翰.麥凱恩(John McCain)，批評了他的繼任者對美國選舉制度純潔性的質疑，並稱，接受選舉結果是所有落選候選人的義務。
