Thanks to the efforts of Green Party candidate Jill Stein, a recount of presidential ballots is about to get under way in several key states won by Donald Trump in America’s general election.
    由于綠黨候選人吉爾·斯坦的推動(dòng)，總統(tǒng)投票的重新計(jì)票將在唐納德·特朗普勝出的幾個(gè)關(guān)鍵州進(jìn)行。
    Could this process hand the presidency to Hillary Clinton? That seems highly unlikely.
    重新計(jì)票能夠?qū)⒖偨y(tǒng)一職交給希拉里·克林頓嗎?很明顯這是不可能的。
    Here’s everything you need to know about the presidential election drama.
    下面是你需要了解的關(guān)于總統(tǒng)選舉鬧劇的始末。
    Which states are involved?
    哪些州將重新計(jì)票?
    The Green Party-backed recount efforts are focused on three states that Mr Trump won - Wisconsin (by 22,177 votes), Michigan (10,704 votes) and Pennsylvania (71,313 votes).
    綠黨支持的重新計(jì)票聚焦在特朗普勝出的三個(gè)州：威斯康辛州(22177票)、密歇根州(10704票)和賓夕法尼亞州(71313票)。
    The three states account for 46 votes in the Electoral College, more than enough to tip the election to Mrs Clinton if they moved from Mr Trump’s column to hers.
    這三個(gè)州計(jì)46張選舉人票，如果他們從特朗普陣營(yíng)倒向希拉里陣營(yíng)，那么完全能夠使希拉里翻盤。
    According to federal law, all recounts have to be concluded within 35 days of the election.
    根據(jù)聯(lián)邦法律，所有的計(jì)票必須得在選舉的35天內(nèi)完成。
    Will it change anything?
    重新計(jì)票會(huì)扭轉(zhuǎn)乾坤嗎?
    Even Ms Stein concedes that the recounts will not likely alter this election’s outcome.
    即使是斯坦也承讓道，重新計(jì)票不會(huì)改變此次大選的結(jié)果。
    "These recounts are part of election to attempt to shine a light on just how untrustworthy the US election system is," she wrote on her website.
    她在個(gè)人網(wǎng)站上寫(xiě)道：“重新計(jì)票是大選的一部分，目的是揭露美國(guó)選舉制度是多么的不值得信任?！?BR>    What is the Clinton campaign’s position?
    希拉里陣營(yíng)的立場(chǎng)是什么?
    The Clinton team made headlines this weekend when it announced that it would co-operate with Ms Stein’s recount efforts.
    希拉里陣營(yíng)這個(gè)周末可是上了頭條，他們宣布將會(huì)與斯坦展開(kāi)合作推動(dòng)重新計(jì)票的進(jìn)行。
    That only means the Clinton campaign will ensure it has representatives in any legal proceedings arising from the recount and observers on hand during the process.
    這只是意味著希拉里陣營(yíng)將會(huì)確保他們?cè)谥匦掠?jì)票的任何合法程序中存在自己的代表，同時(shí)在重新計(jì)票流程中有著自己的觀察員。
    Mrs Clinton herself has kept silent on the matter - as have most of her top advisors.
    希拉里本人和她的大部分高級(jí)顧問(wèn)一樣對(duì)此事保持沉默。
    How has Donald Trump reacted?
    唐納德·特朗普作何反應(yīng)?
    On Sunday Donald Trump fired off a series of tweets accusing the Green Party of staging the recount to "fill up their coffers" and condemning Mrs Clinton for reneging on her election night concession and promise to accept the results.
    在星期日，唐納德·特朗普發(fā)表了一系列推文，指責(zé)綠黨利用重新計(jì)票來(lái)“填滿自己的腰包”，并譴責(zé)希拉里違背她在大選之夜做出的承認(rèn)敗選、接受結(jié)果的諾言。
