这里是《纽约时报》的头条新闻。我是特蕾西·芒福德（Tracy Mumford）。今天是11月5日星期四。以下是我们要报道的内容。
中期选举尘埃落定。发生了许多事情。首先，今天上午我们要深入探讨三个最大的问题：是什么推动了这股巨大的“蓝潮”？昨晚令人难以置信的是，我们深入了极度深红的区域。共和党如何应对其败选？
对共和党人来说，这几乎是一场灭绝级别的事件。
那么，民主党人接下来有什么计划？
民主党党团的核心指导原则将是可负担性（affordability）。
英文原文
[music] From the New York Times, it's the headlines. I'm Tracy Mumford. Today's Thursday, November 5th. Here's what we're [music] covering. The midterms dust is settling. There's a lot happening. To start, we're going to dig into three of the biggest questions this morning. [music] What drove the big blue wave? What was incredible about last night was how far we reached into deep red territory. How [music] is the GOP responding to its loss?This is close to an extinction level event for Republicans. [music]
And what is the Democrat's plan for what's next?
The northstar for the Democratic caucus is going to be affordability.
中期选举结果分析与各方反应
首先，随着更详细的结果出炉，显而易见的是，全美范围内跨越种族、年龄、性别和教育程度的每一个人口群体都在选举日向左摆动。真的很难夸大昨晚对民主党人来说有多么出色。民主党在许多此前从未具备竞争力的州取得了进展，并且在我们观察的每一个单一人口群体中都有所斩获。《纽约时报》选民数据分析师露丝·格尔尼克（Ruth Gelnik）表示，最显著的左偏之一出现在西班牙裔选民中，他们向民主党靠拢了28个百分点。年轻人群体偏向超过30个百分点，尤其是年轻男性偏向近40个百分点。我们看到一件非常有趣的事情是，作为特朗普基本盘中流砥柱的无大学学位白人选民，也向民主党靠拢了大约14个百分点，这确实显示出特朗普核心支持层面的裂痕、特朗普基本盘的裂痕。总体而言，这一惊人的结果势将让共和党遭遇半个世纪以来最惨烈的败局。这把我们带到了——
想象一下，不久之后你头顶到处都是吊灯。想象一下大理石地面。
共和党的反应。
在其所属政党落败后的首次公开亮相中，特朗普总统昨天在镜头前谈论起了白宫宴会厅。看看那个印章的厚度和尺寸。
在一个颇为超现实的场景中，特朗普带领记者穿过施工区域，指着梁木，谈论大理石的种类，他大体上对前一天晚上发生的事情不以为然。
“如果当时是我在选票上，我们早就赢了。但他们就是……你无法把那份爱转移过去。在那些集会上曾经有着深厚的爱，令人难以置信。而我们没能把那份爱转移给候选人。”不过，其他共和党人更迅速地开始尝试诊断问题所在。
“房贷利率超过7%。汽油每加仑4美元。食品杂货价格上涨，诸如此类。所以我认为这更多是民生日常议题（kitchen table issues）。”
佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯（Ron DeSantis）站出来，就经济状况批评了他的共和党同僚。副总统J·D·万斯（JD Vance）也给出了他自己引人注目的批评。在社交媒体的一篇帖子中，万斯将共和党惨败的责任完全归咎于与伊朗的战争，并且毫不掩饰地抨击本届政府的议程与宣传信息。但特朗普总统告诉记者他对此并无介意。稍后，他自己的儿子小唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump Jr.）甚至转发了万斯的言论。
英文原文
First, with more detailed results coming in, it's clear that every demographic group nationally across race, age, gender, and education swung left on election day. It's really hard to overstate just how good a night this was for Democrats. Democrats made gains across so many states where they were never competitive before and across every single demographic group we looked at. Ruth Gelnik analyzes voter data for the Times. She says one of the biggest shifts to the left was among Hispanic voters who moved toward Democrats by 28 points. Young people shifted by more than 30 points and young men specifically by nearly 40. One thing that was really interesting that we saw is that white voters without a college degree who have really been the backbone of Trump's base also shifted about 14 points towards Democrats, which is really showing sort of cracks in Trump's key support, cracks in Trump's base. Overall, the staggering results are on track to deliver Republicans the worst loss in half a century. Which brings us tonow envision chandeliers all over you soon. Envision marble floor.
The Republican response
in his first appearance after his party's defeat. President Trump went on camera yesterday to talk about the White House ballroom. see the thickness and size of that seal.
In a kind of surreal scene, Trump led reporters through the construction zone, pointing out beams, talking about varieties of marble, and he generally shrugged off what had happened the night before.
And if I was on the ballot, we would have won. But they just you couldn't transfer that love. There was such love at those rallies. It was incredible. And uh we weren't able to transfer the love to candidates. Other Republicans though have been quicker to start trying to diagnose the issues.
Mortgage rates are over 7%. Gas is $4 a gallon. Grocery prices have gone up and all these. And so I think it was more kitchen table issues.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis came out to criticize his fellow Republicans over the state of the economy. And Vice President JD Vance offered his own striking critique. In a post on social media, Vance placed the blame for the GOP wipeout squarely on the war with Iran, and he was not shy about ripping into the administration's agenda and messaging. But President Trump told reporters he was fine with it. And later, his own son, Donald Trump Jr., even reposted Vance's comments.
民主党的立法规划
关于中期选举的最后一项最新进展：
“我们曾向国家承诺[清喉音]我们会为一个让人负担得起的美国而奋斗，我们打算信守这一承诺。”
民主党人将如何利用他们新获得的权力？民主党人清楚地知道他们在最初的100小时内想做什么。他们在面对新一届国会时有一种类似于“闪电战（shock and awe）”的开局构想，希望立即向选民证明他们正在兑现竞选中主打的可负担性承诺。他们准备在刚开局就向全院提出大约四个广受欢迎的方案。
我的同事安妮·卡尼（Annie Carney）负责报道众议院。
其中一项是恢复已到期的《平价医疗法案》（Affordable Care Act）补贴。另一项是推翻特朗普“宏伟法案（big beautiful bill）”中对医疗补助（Medicaid）的削减。另一项是在关税方面采取行动，使国会重获对贸易政策的控制权。还有一项是提出某种战争权力决议案，迫使特朗普结束伊朗战争。他们认为其中一些项目甚至能吸引共和党的支持，且过去也曾获得过支持。他们认为这些举措深得民心，足以在参议院过关并真正逼迫特朗普表态或让步。关于中期选举的更多报道，《纽约时报》首席政治分析师内特·科恩（Nate Cohn）在今天的《The Daily》节目中，探讨了那100亿美元的竞选支出究竟起到了多大作用。
英文原文
[music] And for the last midterms update,we made a promise to the country that we [clears throat] would fight for an affordable America, and we intend to keep it.
What will Democrats do with their newfound power? Democrats know exactly what they want to do in their first 100 hours. They have sort of a shock and awe beginning to the new Congress where they want to show voters immediately that they are delivering on the affordability message that they campaigned on. and they have like four broadly popular things they're going to bring to the floor right out of the gate.
My colleague Annie Carney covers the House of Representatives.
One is reinstate the expired Affordable Care Act subsidies. Another is to reverse the Medicaid cuts that were in Trump's big beautiful bill. Another is to do something on tariffs to bring congressional power back over trade policy. And another is to do some sort of war powers resolution to force Trump to end the war in Iran. Some of these items they think will even attract Republican support and have in the past. They think that these are so popular that these can pass the Senate and really force Trump's hand. For more on the midterms, the Times chief political analyst Nate Con is on today's episode of the Daily with a look at how much the $10 billion in campaign spending really mattered.
法国全国性罢工
今天在法国，该国正严阵以待一场全国性罢工。预计将有大量人员缺勤，这可能导致铁路停运并瘫痪交通出行，并打乱医院、学校、银行及其他机构的服务。该国的工会还将组织示威游行，工会表示他们将走上街头抗议不断上涨的生活成本以及政府拟议的预算削减。在此次罢工之前，一系列由学生主导的抗议浪潮已席卷该国，由对学校恶劣条件（如师资不足、有时甚至连椅子都不够）感到愤怒的年轻人组织。尽管这些示威活动大多是和平的，但部分演变成了纵火和抢劫，尤其是上个月的某一天，建筑物燃烧、窗户被砸毁以及防暴警察行动的照片和视频到处可见。这次新的罢工严格来说并不属于那个学生主导的运动，但显然意在表达对其声援。对法国领导人而言，面对日益增长的公众愤怒，并不存在简单的解决办法。他们正面临巨额预算赤字和高水平的国家债务。如果把更多资金投入学校或社会服务，就会推高这一债务，进而可能导致国家借入更多资金来维持更多服务的成本变得更加昂贵。专家表示，整个局面面临着把法国推向某种所谓的“厄运循环（doom loop）”的风险。
英文原文
In France today, the country is bracing for a nationwide strike. A huge number of people are expected to not show up for work, which could paralyze travel by bringing railroads to a halt and disrupt services at hospitals, schools, banks, and other institutions. There will also be demonstrations organized by the country's labor unions who say they will be out in the streets to protest the rising cost of living and the government's proposed budget cuts. The strike comes amid waves of studentled protests that have rocked the country organized by young people angry about poor conditions in schools like not enough teachers or sometimes even not enough chairs. While most of those demonstrations have been peaceful, some degenerated into arson and looting, especially on one day last month when photos and video of burning buildings, smashed windows, and police in riot gear were everywhere. This new strike is not strictly part of that studentled movement, but is clearly intended to show solidarity with it. For France's leaders, there are no simple solutions to the growing public anger. They're facing big budget deficits and high levels of national debt. And putting more money towards schools or social services would increase that debt, which in turn could make it more expensive for the country to borrow more money to pay for more services. Experts say the whole situation risks pushing France toward a kind of quote doom loop.NewJeans合约与K-pop行业争议
两年前，韩国流行女团NewJeans的成员在专辑刚登上美国排行榜榜首之际，宣布退出其唱片公司，令外界感到震惊。
其中一位乐队成员告诉记者，引用原话：“留在公司只会延长我们的心理痛苦。”她们离开的决定引发了漫长的法律与权力争斗，《纽约时报》目前获得了处于这场纠纷核心的合约——即这些歌手在年仅14至17岁时签署的协议。
能够获取K-pop合约极其罕见。法庭案件中曾出现过合约片段，但掌握一份完整的合约，为我们提供了一个极其独家的视角，去观察唱片公司对这些艺人握有多大控制权。《纽约时报》调查记者萨拉·赫茨（Sarah Herz）指出，K-pop行业因对旗下演艺人员管理极其严苛而臭名昭著，公司有时在歌手还是儿童时就招募他们入住宿舍，并掌控其生活的诸多方面。部分艺人曾描述过近乎挨饿的节食，以及几乎赚不到什么钱。但萨拉表示，尽管多年来一直承诺整顿，NewJeans的合约却表明，即便对于如此成功的组合，情况也几乎没有改变。综合来看，这些合约赋予了唱片公司很大的控制权，涵盖成员的举止、约会对象、言论、外表，甚至拥有无限期使用AI生成的NewJeans声音的权利。另一件事是K-pop中的整容手术。在行业内部，这算是某种公开的秘密。这些表演者面临着迎合极具体审美标准的巨大压力。他们中的一些人在成年之前就接受了手术。这种压力也进入了我们获取的合约中。合约明确指出，成员可能要承担偿还唱片公司花在她们身上的部分费用的责任，其中包括整容手术的费用。萨拉表示，韩国政府曾尝试推广一种合同范本以应对对K-pop行业的担忧。在该范本中保障了受教育权、身心健康权以及睡眠权，但在NewJeans的合约中这些全都被剔除了。在回答《纽约时报》的质询时，该唱片公司旗下拥有BTS等其他巨星团体的母公司表示，这些合同合法且是出于善意协商订立的。

英文原文
Two years ago, the members of the K-pop girl group New Jeans, fresh off their album debuting at number one on the US charts, shocked people by announcing they [music] were quitting their record label.One of the band members told a reporter, quote, "Staying at the company will only prolong our psychological pain." Their choice to leave set off a lengthy legal and power struggle and the Times has now obtained the contracts at the heart of it. The agreements the singers signed when they were just 14 to 17 years old.
Getting access to K-pop contracts is incredibly rare. There has been snippets of contracts in court cases, but having a full contract gives us an incredibly exclusive look at how much control the label holds over these artists. Sarah Herz is an investigative reporter at the Times. She says the K-pop industry has been notorious for how strictly it manages its performers, with companies sometimes recruiting singers as children to come live in dorms and controlling many aspects of their lives. Some artists have described near starvation diets and making almost no money. But despite years of promised overhauls, Sarah says the new genes contracts show how little has changed even for such a successful group. When you put it all together, these contracts give the label a lot of control over how the members act, who they date, what they say, how they look, and even the right to use AI generated new genes voices with no end date indefinitely. Another thing is plastic surgery in K-pop. So, this is a kind of open secret in the industry. There's a lot of pressure on these performers to fit a very specific beauty standard. Some of them get surgery before they're even adults. And that pressure made its way into a contract that we got a hold of. It said clearly that the members can be on the hook to pay back some of the money the label spent on them, including for plastic surgery. Sarah says the South Korean government has tried to promote a contract template to address concerns about the K-pop industry. In that template, there's a guaranteed right to education, physical and mental health, and sleep, but that was all stripped out for the New Genes contracts. In response to questions from the Times, the parent company of the label, which is behind other huge groups like BTS, said the contracts were legal and negotiated in good faith.

金州女武神队WNBA夺冠游行
最后，昨天在旧金山，成千上万的人涌上街头参加游行。政治家在挥手致意，还有行进乐队、摩托车队，一应俱全，人们倾巢而出将整座城市染成紫色。金州女武神队是WNBA的总冠军。
那是金州女武神队（Golden State Valkyries）的球队代表色，这支2026年WNBA冠军球队刚在周末夺得了总冠军。她们的夺冠标志着一段惊人的崛起历程。这支球队去年才初次亮相，就在建队以来的第二个赛季赢得了最终胜利。自从踏上赛场起，她们就受到了热烈的追捧。女武神队在她们与湾区NBA球队金州勇士队共用的一流滨水场馆中，打过的每一场主场比赛都门票售罄。女武神队明年的季票也排起了等候名单。昨天游行现场的一位球迷对《纽约时报》表示，这一切成功有力地证明了“支持女子体育运动会带来怎样的成果”。该联盟计划继续扩军，新球队将入驻克利夫兰、底特律和费城，而女武神队则彰显了这一商业版图有多么庞大。三年前，球队老板花费了5000万美元买下了建队权。如今，女武神队的估值达到10亿美元，创下了女子运动队的纪录。
