    　　Clinton, Trump tipped to win as New York votes in primary
        总统预定?特朗普赢得纽约初选!
    导读:在本周二举行的纽约州总统初选中，特朗普和克林顿获得了胜利。
    New York began voting Tuesday in a high-stakes presidential primary tipped
to hand Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump victories in the race to clinch the
Democratic and Republican tickets to the White House.
    在本周二的纽约州初选中，纽约选民将他们的选票交给了两位高风险的总统候选人--希拉里·克林顿和唐纳德·特朗普，分别加大了民主党和共和党入主白宫的筹码。
    The former first lady, New York senator and secretary of state leads the
polls by double digits over her challenger Bernie Sanders, even though
?nationwide surveys put them neck and neck.
    在周二的初选中，前第一夫人、纽约州参议员、国务卿希拉里的得票数远超她的对手桑德斯，以两位数的差距将桑德斯远远甩在了后面，尽管此前曾有民调显示希拉里和桑德斯的支持率不相上下。
    Trump, the brash Manhattan billionaire whose controversial campaign has
appalled the Republican establishment, is far ahead of rivals Ted Cruz and John
Kasich.
    而在共和党选举阵营里，傲慢的曼哈顿百万富翁特朗普的得票远超他的竞争对手克鲁兹和卡西克。
    The tycoon is banking on a big home-state victory before Republican
grandees can deny him the ticket and back another candidate at the party
convention in July.
    尽管共和党大佬们很有可能在七月份举行的党内代表大会上否决特朗普，转而支持另一位候选人，但毫无疑问这位富豪此次在自己的老家取得了一场大胜利。
    New York polls opened at 6 am and were due to close at 9 pm, when Clinton
and Trump have scheduled celebrations in Manhattan.
    纽约初选从哪早上6点开始，晚上9点结束，选举结束后希拉里和特朗普预定了在曼哈顿举行盛大的庆祝活动。
    Only 5.8 million registered Democrats and 2.7 million registered
Republicans are eligible to vote in New York’s primaries.
    在此次的纽约初选中，只有登记在册的580万民主党分子和270万共和党分子有资格参加选举。
    Independents are barred from participating, disadvantaging Sanders.
    无党派人士禁止参加此次初选，这对桑德斯造成了很大不利。
    The vote in New York - the country’s fourth-largest state and home to an
incredibly diverse electorate - is the state’s most consequential in decades, as
both races for the White House nomination are highly contested.
    纽约州是美国的第四大选区，因为这里选民的多样性非常显著，因此在过去几十年里，纽约初举的结果可以说是最重要的。而在纽约的选举活动中，两党的竞争也异常激烈。
    New York is also "home" to three of the candidates: Trump, who has never
lived anywhere else; Clinton, who was twice elected the state’s US senator; and
Sanders, who was raised in the borough of Brooklyn.
    纽约是三位总统候选人的“老家”：特朗普一直住在纽约，希拉里曾两次当选纽约参议员，而桑德斯则是在布鲁克林街区长大的。
    "We all have a stake in America. That is what this election is about.
Please, come out! Vote tomorrow," Clinton said Monday in an impassioned plea to
become the country’s first female president.
    在初选前一天的动员会上，有望成为美国第一位女总统的希拉里慷慨激昂地对选民们说道：“我们都是美利坚合众国的一份子，我们都有选出我们自己想要的总统的权利，而这也正是这场选举的意义所在。所以，明天请你们都从家里出来，投出你们手中宝贵的一票!”
    Sanders, 74, who has galvanized a youth movement with his call for
healthcare as a right, free college education and campaign finance reform, needs
a win to keep alive his hopes of winning the presidency.
    而74岁的桑德斯则迫切需要一场胜利来保障他能够继续实现自己的梦想。桑德斯在美国掀起了一场青年运到，他倡导公民应该享有医疗的权利、免费的大学教育，他还呼吁进行竞选资金改革。
    On the Republican side, Trump hopes that winning the majority of New York’s
95 ?Republican delegates can ?lessen his chances of facing a contested
nomination at the party convention in Cleveland.
    而在共和党方面，特朗普希望自己能够赢得纽约95个共和党代表席位中的大多数，这样在即将举行的克利夫兰党代表会上他就有可能不会遇到太大的竞争。
