《慾望都市》女星宣佈參選紐約州長

Those rumors that Cynthia Nixon was running for governor have now become truth. The actress and activist announced on her Twitter account on Monday that she is running for governor of New York, with plans to compete in the September 13 democratic primary against the incumbent , Governor Andrew Cuomo.

辛西婭?尼克松要競選州長的傳聞如今已成爲事實。星期一，這位女演員兼活動家通過推特宣佈她要競選紐約州長，並計劃在9月13日的民主初選中與現任州長安德魯?科莫展開競爭。

“New York is where I was raised, and where I'm raising my kids,”she says in the campaign announcement video. “I'm a proud public school graduate. And a prouder public school parent. I was given chances I just don't see for New York's kids today.”

“紐約是我長大的地方，也是我養育孩子的地方，”她在競選公告的視頻中說道。“我是一名自豪的公立學校畢業生，也是一名更自豪的公立學校學生的家長。我所得到的機會是如今紐約的孩子所無法獲得的。”

“Half the kids in our upstate cities live below the poverty line. How did we let this happen? I love New York . I've never wanted to live anywhere else. But something has to change.”

“在我們的城市北部，有一半的孩子生活在貧困線以下。我們是如何讓這一切發生的？我熱愛紐約。我從未想過在其他地方生活。但是有些事情必須要做出改變。”

And, as some New Yorkers will be happy to hear, she wants to fix those broken subways.

一些紐約人會很樂意聽到，她想整修那些壞掉的地鐵。

Nixon also released an opening statement about her announcement to run, describing her agenda as a “bold, progressive message” and calling out Cuomo as a “centrist.”

關於她的競選宣言，尼克松還發表過一份公開聲明，稱她的議程“大膽且先進”，還稱科莫爲“中立派議員”。

Nixon has been teasing a run for governor for some time, and has planted her flag with frustrated New York subway riders, studying transportation policy, in light of the numerous subway delays and problems that have occurred during Cuomo's two terms.

尼克松準備競選州長已有一段時間了。鑑於紐約大量地鐵延遲以及在科莫兩個任期內所發生的問題，她研究了運輸政策，想爭取那些對地鐵失望的紐約人的支持。

As of 2018, Cuomo’s approval ratings have dropped below 50 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University Poll. In New York City, his approval ratings are at 52 percent.

昆尼皮亞克大學的一項民意調查顯示，2018年科莫的支持率跌至50%以下。在紐約市，他的支持率爲52%。

According to a new poll from Siena College , however, Cuomo holds a wide lead over Nixon for the upcoming September 13 primaries. Asked who they would choose in the Democratic primary, 66 percent of voters went with Cuomo; 19 percent picked Nixon.

然而，錫耶納大學的一項新民意調查顯示，在即將到來的9月13日初選中，科莫大幅領先尼克松。人們被問及在民主初選中會選誰，66%的選民把票投給了科莫，19%的選民選擇了尼克松。
