这里是《纽约时报》头条新闻。我是特雷西·芒福德（Tracy Mumford）。今天是11月4日，星期三。以下是我们的重点报道。
英文原文
[music]From the New York Times, it's the headlines. I'm Tracy Mumford. Today's Wednesday, November 4th. Here's what we're covering.
今晚，我们南卡罗来纳州在这里发出了明确的信号。[欢呼] 你们向全国证明了我们绝不屈服。[欢呼]
英文原文
[music]Tonight, we here in South Carolina sent a clear message. [cheering]
You have shown the nation that we will not bow down. [cheering]
密歇根州，我们做到了。
对俄亥俄州来说，这是多么美妙的一夜。谢谢你们。
英文原文
>> Michigan, we did it.What a night for Ohio. Thank you.
你们好，北卡罗来纳州。谢谢你，佐治亚州、爱荷华州，
英文原文
>> Hello, North Carolina. Thank you, Georgia, Iowa,缅因州，
英文原文
>> Main,明尼苏达州。
[欢呼]
英文原文
>> Minnesota.[cheering]
我们刚刚夺回了德克萨斯州。
英文原文
>> We just took back Texas.昨晚对民主党人来说是疯狂的一夜。随着选民对特朗普总统和共和党发出明确的谴责，该党夺取了参议院和众议院的控制权。
这场民主党的大胜横跨东西两岸，该党翻盘了数十年来一直由共和党把持的席位，而在堪萨斯州，这一席位几乎被共和党把持了近一个世纪。选民扫除了那些支持总统的共和党人，甚至是那些试图与他拉开一步距离的共和党人。在南卡罗来纳州，安妮·安德鲁斯（Annie Andrews）战胜了达琳·格雷厄姆（Darlene Graham），后者曾获特朗普支持以接替其兄长、已故参议员林赛·格雷厄姆（Lindsey Graham）的席位。而在缅因州，经常反抗总统的参议员苏珊·柯林斯（Susan Collins）向民主党人特洛伊·杰克逊（Troy Jackson）承认败选，结束了柯林斯30年的任期。而最令人震惊的胜利之一发生在了德克萨斯州。
英文原文
>> Last night was a wild night for the Democrats. The party seized control of the Senate and the House as [music] voters delivered a clear rebuke to President Trump and the GOP.The Democratic route stretched coast to coast with the party flipping seats that had spent decades in Republican hands or in the case of Kansas nearly a century. Voters swept out Republicans who stood with the president and even those that tried to stand a step apart from him. In South Carolina, Annie Andrews prevailed over Darlene Graham, who Trump had backed to take the seat of her brother, the late Senator Lindsey Graham. And in Maine, Senator Susan Collins, who often stood up to the president, conceded to the Democrat Troy Jackson, ending Collins's 30 years in office. And one of the most stunning wins played out in Texas.
德州翻盘与全国选情分析
我现在在一家沃特堡（Whataburger）汉堡店，对面就是詹姆斯·塔拉里科（James Talarico）的胜选派对现场，人们在按喇叭。他们正在欢呼。
英文原文
>> I'm here at a Waterterburgger across from the Victory Party for James Tarico where people are honking. They're cheering.《纽约时报》德州分社社长J·戴维·古德曼（J. David Goodman）身在奥斯汀，他表示该州选民基本上引发了一场“民主党地震”——詹姆斯·塔拉里科赢得了参议院席位，同时民主党还赢得了德克萨斯州州长职位、副州长职位以及其他几项全州范围的竞选。
英文原文
>> The Times Texas bureau chief J. David Goodman is in Austin and he said voters in the state essentially delivered a Democratic earthquake with James Tarico winning a Senate seat, but Democrats also winning the Texas governor's office, the Lieutenant Governor's office, and several other statewide races.这对民主党人来说是一个始料未及、意想不到且充满欢乐的时刻，而共和党人则坐在一旁思考：在一个他们保持了三十年铁腕掌控的州，这怎么可能发生？从地图上看，民主党甚至在共和党最近进行了选区重划的地区也取得了胜利。民主党赢得了佛罗里达州那些由共和党重新划分以利于自身的选区，并在类似情况下的北卡罗来纳州翻盘了至少一个席位。《纽约时报》政治记者里德·爱泼斯坦（Reed Epstein）表示，总体而言，民主党关于指责特朗普总统导致物价上涨的一贯口径，似乎推动了该党在各领域的全面胜利。
英文原文
>> It's a kind of unforeseen, unexpected, and joyous moment for Democrats and and one that Republicans are are sitting and thinking, how could this possibly have happened in the state that they had maintained an iron grip on for three decades? Looking at the map, Democrats even managed to win in areas where there had been recent Republican redistricting efforts. The Democrats won districts in Florida that Republicans redrew to be favorable for themselves and flipped at least one North Carolina seat in a similar situation. Times politics reporter Reed Epstein says overall the Democrats consistent messaging that President Trump is to blame for rising prices seems to have carried the party across the board.民主党表现超出预期的地区确实跨越了全国各个地理区域。他们在农村地区和郊区表现良好。他们在全美城市地区的投票率极高。他们赢得了以拉丁裔为主的选区。他们也赢得了几乎全是白人的选区。对于民主党而言，这是一场在全国范围内击败共和党的彻底而全面的胜利。
英文原文
>> The places that Democrats have overperformedreally cross geographic regions of the country. They have done well in rural areas and suburban areas. Their turnout is through the roof in urban parts of the country. They have won districts that are predominantly Latino. They have won districts that are almost all white. It is a thorough and complete victory across the country for Democrats against Republicans.
特朗普的回应与未来国会格局
截至今天清晨，民主党仍有可能扩大在参议院的领先优势。阿拉斯加州和密西西比州的选票仍在统计中，其中密西西比州成为了一个出人意料的战场州，两位候选人之间可能仅相差几十票。与此同时，
英文原文
>> As of early this morning, Democrats could still widen their lead in the Senate. Ballots are still being counted in Alaska and in Mississippi, which emerged as an unlikely and unexpected battleground with potentially only a couple dozen votes separating the two candidates. Meanwhile,嗨。
英文原文
>> hi.嗨。
英文原文
>> Hi.嗨。有什么事？请讲。报道白宫的同事在特朗普总统关注开票结果时与他进行了交谈，他将自己政党惨重的失利归咎于他本人并未出现在选票上。
英文原文
>> Hi. What's up? Go ahead. My colleagues who cover the White House spoke with President Trump as he was watching the results come in and he chocked up his party's steep losses to the fact that he personally wasn't on the ballot.而且我认为另一件事是伊朗石油价格问题，他们并不介意伊朗，但他们可能不高兴。他们对石油价格不满意。所以，你知道，就是这么回事，但我一点也不后悔那个决定。在多次散布关于作弊和欺诈的怀疑之后，当被逼问是否会接受这些选举的结果时，总统表示他会接受。
英文原文
>> And I I think the other thing is Iran with the oil price was the oil they don't mind the Iran, but they probably weren't happy. They weren't happy with the oil price. So, you know, it's one of those things, but I don't regret that decision at all. When pressed on whether he would accept the results of these elections after repeatedly sewing doubt about cheating and fraud, the president said he would.我们会与民主党人合作，而且我们会，你知道，期待与他们合作。我们可能会达成某些共识。
英文原文
>> We'll work with the Democrats and we'll, you know, look forward to working with them. We'll probably work something out.总的来说，这是一次简短的谈话，他的语气比较低沉。展望未来，民主党的胜利赋予了他们在他剩余任期内阻挠特朗普立法议程的权力。他们还将对特朗普的任何任命拥有事实上的否决权，包括对最高法院的任命。他们还将拥有传票权，以调查总统、他的政府及其盟友。

>> Overall, it was a short conversation and his tone was subdued. Looking ahead, Democrats victories give them the power to stall Trump's legislative agenda for the rest of his term. They'll also have functional veto power over any of Trump's appointments, including to the Supreme Court. And they'll have subpoena power to investigate the president, his administration, and his allies.For the full up-to-date results of the 2026 midterms, you can check the Times app or go to ny times.com.
中东情报：伊朗化学武器疑云
现在播报一条来自中东的最新消息。《纽约时报》获悉，以色列已向美国通报了一份情报，称伊朗正在考虑使用化学武器，可能是将其安装在导弹或无人机上。但美国官员在对待这份情报的严肃程度上存在分歧。一些美国官员认为该情报令人警惕。美国最近一直在监测来自伊朗的大量威胁，特别是在破获了一起伊朗企图袭击美军战机在英国所使用空军基地的阴谋之后。然而，其他美国官员深表怀疑。他们怀疑的不是伊朗是否在研发化学武器，而是它是否准备使用它们。这些官员认为，以色列共享的情报是本雅明·内塔尼亚胡总理试图推动特朗普总统重启针对伊朗的大规模作战行动的一部分。对一些官员来说，关于伊朗化学武器威胁的讨论甚至让人联想起2000年代初关于伊拉克是否拥有大规模杀伤性武器的有缺陷的美国情报，而该情报当时被援引为美国入侵的理由。就伊朗自身而言，它承认几十年前曾发展过化学武器能力，但表示后来已将其拆解。
英文原文
Now, an update from the Middle East. The Times has learned that Israel has shared intelligence with the US that Iran is considering the use of chemical weapons, possibly by putting them on a missile or drone. But American officials are divided on how seriously to take that intel. Some US officials believe the intel is cause for alarm. The US has been monitoring a lot of threats from Iran recently, especially since it uncovered an Iranian plot to target an air base used by American war plananes in Britain. Other US officials, however, are deeply skeptical. Not that Iran is developing chemical weapons, but that it's ready to use them. Those officials see Israel's shared intelligence as part of an effort by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to try and push President Trump toward restarting major combat operations against Iran. For some officials, the talk of a chemical weapons threat from Iran has even evoked the flawed US intelligence from the early 2000s about whether Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, which was cited as a reason for the US to invade. For its part, Iran has acknowledged it developed chemical weapons capabilities decades ago, but has said it later dismantled them.查尔斯三世就奴隶贸易发表演说
本周在加勒比海地区，
英文原文
In the Caribbean this week,我们无法改变先辈的行为。然而，我们可以从过去中吸取教训。查尔斯国王发表讲话，对英国在贯穿当地许多岛屿的跨大西洋奴隶贸易中所扮演的角色表达了“深切的个人悲痛”。
英文原文
>> we cannot change the actions of those who came before us. We can, however, learn from the past. King Charles gave a speech expressing quote profound personal sorrow over Britain's role in the transatlantic slave trade which ran through many of the islands there.正如我之前所说，那段可耻的历史篇章令我心中充满恐惧。
英文原文
>> As I've said before, that shameful chapter of history is one that fills my heart with horror.国王当时正在出席英联邦国家会议，其中许多国家曾是英国的殖民地，并且许多国家一直要求英国正视其历史。不过，国王在演讲中并没有就英国在17和18世纪从非洲贩运数百万被奴役人口的行为正式道歉。事实上，国王个人无权代表国家正式道歉。他需要英国政府授权他这样做。最近，英国首相安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）表示他对这一想法持开放态度，这是英国政策的重大转变。但伯纳姆划清了支付赔偿的界限，而一些英联邦领导人也一直在强烈推动赔偿。伯纳姆写道，英国人民不应为在不同时代、依据不同法律发生的“历史过错，无论多么令人发指”承担财政责任。
英文原文
>> The king was at a meeting of the Commonwealth nations, many of which are former British colonies and many of which have demanded that Britain face up to its history. In his speech though, the king stopped short of offering a formal apology for Britain's trafficking of millions of enslaved people from Africa in the 17 and 1800s. In fact, the king alone can't formally apologize on the country's behalf. He would need the UK government to authorize him to do that. Recently, Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he's open to the idea, a major change in British policy. But Burnham drew the line at paying reparations, which some Commonwealth leaders have also been pushing strongly for. Burnham wrote that the British people should not be held financially liable for quote historical wrongs, however heinous, that happened in a different age under different laws.太空投票的历史与今日

最后，为您带来一条关于选举的小轶事。
英文原文
>> [music]And finally, one last little elections nugget for you.
欢迎来到空间站，在这里我们有特权能够像地面的你们一样投票。
英文原文
>> Welcome to Space Station, where we have the privilege of being able to vote just like [music] you on the ground.今年，即便是以每小时17,000英里的速度绕地球运行，也没能阻止美国宇航局（NASA）的宇航员投票。昨天，宇航员阿尼尔·梅农（Anil Menon）分享了他在国际空间站投票设置的小展示。“这是我的房间，它兼作投票间，在这里我能够填写一份电子表格并发送给哈里斯县，这样我今天就能投票了。”
英文原文
>> This year, not even orbiting around the Earth at 17,000 m an hour stopped NASA astronauts from voting. Yesterday, the astronaut Anne Neil Menon shared a little tour of his setup from the International Space Station. This is my room that doubles as a voting booth where I was able to fill out an electronic form and send it to Harris County so I could vote today.梅农说，机组上的另外两名成员也投了票。但事情并不总是一直如此。早在1996年比尔·克林顿（Bill Clinton）与鲍勃·多尔（Bob Dole）角逐总统职位时，《纽约时报》就报道了和平号空间站上的NASA宇航员为何无法投票，因为当时大多数宇航员居住的德克萨斯州根本没有通过电子邮件或从太空投票的规定。德克萨斯州立法机构在次年改变了这一现状，允许现在在我们头顶轨道上运行的人进行太空投票。1997年第一位做到这一点的宇航员告诉《大西洋月刊》：“这让我感觉与地球更近了。”

英文原文
>> Menon said two other crew members aboard also voted. But it was not always this way. Back in 1996 when Bill Clinton was facing off with Bob Dole for the presidency, the Times covered how the NASA astronaut aboard the mere space station was not able to vote because at the time Texas, where most astronauts live, simply had no provisions for voting by email or from space. The Texas legislature changed that the next year, allowing those orbiting above us right now to space vote. The very first astronaut to do that [music] in 1997 told the Atlantic, "It made me feel closer to the Earth."[music]
Those are the headlines. Today on the daily, more on the midterms with the Times is Shane Goldmacher, Lisa Lair, and Nate Conn. [music]
