Introduction

Peru had a presidential election. Two people, Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sanchez, have almost the same number of votes. No one knows who won yet.

秘魯舉行了總統選舉。Keiko Fujimori 與 Roberto Sanchez 兩人的得票數幾乎相同,目前還不知道誰贏了。

Main Body

Keiko Fujimori is popular in the big city, Lima. Roberto Sanchez is popular in the mountains and small villages. The count is slow because workers must carry papers from far places to the city.

Keiko Fujimori 在大城市利馬非常受歡迎。Roberto Sanchez 則在山區和小村莊較受歡迎。由於工作人員必須將遠方的票單運回城市,導致計票速度緩慢。

Fujimori wants to use the army to stop crime. Sanchez wants new laws for the country. He wants the government to own more mines. These two people have very different ideas.

Fujimori 想要利用軍隊來打擊犯罪。Sanchez 則希望為國家制定新法律,他希望政府擁有更多礦場。這兩人的想法截然不同。

Peru has many presidents. This winner will be the ninth president in ten years. The winner will have a hard time because the other leaders in government may not agree with them.

秘魯經歷過許多任總統。這次的獲勝者將成為十年來的第九位總統。贏家將面臨艱困的處境,因為政府內的其他領導人可能不會同意其觀點。

Conclusion

The court will name the winner in mid-July. The new president starts work on July 28.

法院將於七月中旬宣布獲勝者。新任總統將於 7 月 28 日就職。
