Voters in the New Hampshire primary will on Tuesday select candidates for a total of 424 seats in Congress, the governorship, and the state legislature; beyond the incumbents, the ballot is replete with a host of familiar visages.

新罕布什爾州初選選民將於週二國會州長州議會共計424個席位遴選候選人;現任者外選票上不乏諸多耳熟能詳的面孔

Senator Jeanne Shaheen's announcement that she would forgo a bid for reelection immediately precipitated an intricate and multifaceted contest for power.

聯邦參議員珍妮·沙欣宣布放棄競逐連任此舉旋即觸發了一場錯綜複雜的權力角逐

Among the eight Republican challengers vying to supplant the three-term Democratic senator are conspicuously two former senators whom she had previously vanquished: John E. Sununu and Scott Brown.

八位意圖取代這位三屆民主黨參議員共和黨挑戰者中,赫然包含兩位她先前曾予以擊敗的前聯邦參議員約翰·E·蘇努努斯科特·布朗

Simultaneously, the Democratic primary front features a five-way contest, wherein Representative Chris Pappas's candidacy has rendered the First Congressional District seat vacant, thereby drawing a plethora of aspirants into the fray.

與此同時民主黨初選戰線上則有五方人馬相互較勁,其中聯邦眾議員克里斯·帕帕斯的參選致使第一國會選區的席次出現空缺進而吸引了為數眾多的候選人競相投入

Shaheen's daughter, Stefany Shaheen, has likewise entered the fray for the Democratic nomination to succeed Pappas, where she will be joined by former candidate Maura Sullivan in the same contest.

沙欣之女斯特凡尼·沙欣躋身帕帕斯席位民主黨提名角逐之列與之同場競逐者尚包括前候選人莫拉·沙利文

Elsewhere, in other high-profile races, a number of perennial candidates have once again thrown their hats into the ring.

在其他矚目選戰中,亦不乏多位屢次參選的候選人再度登場

Sununu honed his craft for six years in the U.S. House of Representatives, and had already served a single term in the Senate before succumbing to Shaheen in 2008.

蘇努努曾於聯邦眾議院歷練六載並於2008年敗於沙欣之手,已擔任參議員一屆

His current focus encompasses the affordability of housing, healthcare, and energy, mechanisms for congressional accountability, and the provision of constituent services.

此番他所聚焦之議題,涵蓋住房醫療能源之可負擔性追究國會之課責機制,以及選民服務等範疇

At a campaign rally last month, he declared: "Having been absent from the political arena for seventeen years, any concern regarding my re-election is utterly unfounded.

在上個月的一場競選集會如此宣示:「我已闊別政壇十七載對於連任之慮實乃無稽之談

I require neither appointment nor office, nor do I need to ingratiate myself with anyone.

無需任何任命職位無須曲意逢迎於人

The sole mission incumbent upon me is this: to stand up and speak out on behalf of all the people of New Hampshire."

所肩負的使命僅有一項新罕布什爾州全體人民挺身而出仗義執言

Brown, who once represented Massachusetts, secured a special election victory in 2010 following the demise of Senator Ted Kennedy, only to suffer a resounding defeat in 2012.

布朗曾代表麻薩諸塞州泰德·甘迺迪參議員辭世後,在2010年贏得一場特別選舉,然於2012年鎩羽而歸

His 2014 bid to unseat Shaheen proved futile, and during the inaugural term of President Trump, he assumed the role of ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa.

於2014年挑戰沙欣未竟其功在川普總統首個任期內出任駐紐西蘭與薩摩亞大使

In a July interview, he articulated his decision to seek office once more, citing the conspicuous absence of substantive Republican representation from New Hampshire in Congress; concurrently, he posited that his extensive experience as a veteran, congressman, ambassador, and grandfather was unequivocally unparalleled.

在七月的一次訪談中他闡明其再度參選的決定乃鑑於新罕布什爾州的共和黨人在國會中缺乏實質代表性;同時他堅信自身作為退伍軍人、國會議員、大使及祖父的豐富閱歷實屬無出其右

He launched a scathing critique against Sununuwhose father and younger brother have both held the reins of state governanceasserting that his victory was merely a facile triumph predicated on familial prestige.

對蘇努努——其父與胞弟皆曾執掌州政——提出抨擊指其不過是仰賴家族聲望而輕取勝局

Although Sununu had disparaged Trump as a "loser" in 2024, he nonetheless secured the latter's endorsement; Brown, however, contended that this support would merely reduce him to a pliant instrument of the President and other vested interest groups.

蘇努努雖於2024年曾以「輸家」一詞貶抑川普卻仍獲後者力挺然布朗則斷言此舉僅會使其淪為總統及其他特殊利益集團的馴服工具

Brown declared, "Here, I am the only truly independent candidate, one who can cast votes on any issue guided by a clear conscience and in the best interests of New Hampshire."

布朗宣稱:「在此地唯一真正超然物外候選人得以清白良知為圭臬,並以新罕布什爾州至高福祉為依歸,就任何議題行使表決權。」

Jim Lumis, an eighty-three-year-old voter from Bow, candidly acknowledged that while he had lent his vigorous support to Brown in 2014, he had refrained from doing so on this occasion, citing that "he is no longer the force he once was."

現年八十三歲來自鮑鎮的選民吉姆·盧米斯坦言他於二〇一四年曾鼎力支持布朗然此番卻未再傾囊相授理由是他已不復當年之勢」。

He further conceded that Sununu had been absent from the political arena for an even more protracted period, yet he nonetheless cast his ballot in favor of the latter.

他亦承認蘇努努闊別政壇更為久遠,卻仍舊將手中一票投予了他。

He remarked, "I am of the opinion that his years of service have rendered him perspicacious in his grasp of global affairs, and coupled with his distinguished lineage, the solidity of his foundation is, as it were, self-evident."

他道:「竊以為歷年來之任事足令對世局洞若觀火復以家世淵源相輔,根基之穩固實乃不言而喻。」

After securing four consecutive terms, Pappas resolutely relinquished his seat in the House of Representatives; the political contributions he had amassed amounted to twice the combined total of those garnered by Sununu and Brown, and far surpassed those of his rivals in the Democratic primary.

帕帕斯在蟬聯四屆之後毅然放棄其聯邦眾議員之席位其所籌募之政治獻金竟為蘇努努與布朗兩人總和之兩倍,且遠逾民主黨黨內初選之競爭對手

In every public opinion poll, he likewise exhibited an overwhelming lead; however, of late, his advantage over the scientist and democratic socialist Karishma Manzoor has shown a marked contraction.

於各項民意調查中呈現壓倒性領先態勢近期對科學家兼民主社會主義者卡里什瑪·曼祖爾之優勢已見顯著收斂之勢

Kristin Selesnick, a 41-year-old voter from Bow, remarked that Papas could be deemed a "passable" choice, yet his acceptance of super PAC funding, coupled with his casting of an "aye" vote rather than a nay on the measure to restrict arms sales to Israel, left her profoundly disconcerted.

來自鮑鎮的41歲選民克里斯汀·塞萊斯尼克表示帕帕斯堪稱「尚可」之選其對超級政治行動委員會資金的接納以及針對限制對以色列軍售案投下「出席」票而非反對票之舉皆令她難以苟同

In the end, she cast her ballot for Manzoor.

最終她將選票投給了曼祖爾

She remarked, "I genuinely admire the comprehensive policy platform she has put forward.

她表示:「我由衷欽佩她所提出的整套政策綱領

I am firmly convinced that she will articulate a resonant and compelling voice for the Granite State."

我深信她必能為花崗岩州發出鏗鏘有力擲地有聲的代言。」

Among the seven Democratic contenders vying for the nomination in the First District, Stephanie Shaheen and Sullivan have emerged as frontrunners, commanding a distinct lead.

在七位角逐第一選區的民主黨提名候選人之中,斯特凡尼·沙欣沙利文脫穎而出居於領先地位

Shaheen formerly served with distinction as a city councillor in Portsmouth.

沙欣榮任樸茨茅斯市議員

Following her daughter's diagnosis with type 1 diabetes, she resolutely established an enterprise dedicated to providing support for individuals grappling with chronic ailments.

在其女被確診罹患第一型糖尿病後,毅然創辦一家專為慢性病患提供支援的企業

Moreover, she has been actively engaged in biotechnology initiatives within New Hampshire aimed at advancing the field of regenerative medicine.

此外積極投身於新罕布什爾州推動再生醫學發展生物科技計劃

Sullivan, a former Marine and veteran of the Iraq War, previously served as Assistant Secretary of Veterans Affairs during the Obama administration.

沙利文前海軍陸戰隊員伊拉克戰爭退伍軍人於歐巴馬總統執政期間出任退伍軍人事務部助理部長。

Serving concurrently as Vice Chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, Sullivan vied for the First District congressional seat in 2018; however, in a primary contested by eleven aspirants, he was vanquished by the political neophyte Pappas, retreating in defeat.

身兼新罕布什爾州民主黨副主席之職,沙利文於2018年角逐第一選區之議席在十一名候選人參與的黨內初選中不敵首度參選的帕帕斯而鎩羽而歸

The Republican primary field comprised four contenders, among them political neophyte Anthony DiLorenzoa man who presides over a chain of automobile dealerships and has secured the coveted endorsement of Trumpalongside Holly Noflietzki, who, in her dual capacity as a veteran and a licensed nurse practitioner, also helms a steel manufacturing enterprise and had vied for the same congressional seat two years prior.

共和黨此次共有四位角逐者其中包括政治素人安東尼·迪洛倫佐——此人坐擁連鎖汽車經銷商事業並獲得川普背書力挺另有霍莉·諾夫萊茨基身兼退伍軍人執業護理師雙重身分,同時經營鋼鐵製造企業兩年前亦曾競逐同一議席

In the Second District, incumbent Democratic Congresswoman Maggie Goodland, who made history as the first of her party to win this seat, now faces a primary challenge from progressive state legislator and nurse Peggy Bishman.

在第二選區現任民主黨眾議員瑪姬·古德蘭德作為該黨首度於此區當選者正面臨來自進步派州議員護士佩姬·比舍曼黨內初選挑戰

This four-way Democratic primary contest also features Lily Tang Williams, who secured the nomination two years ago, marking her third bid for the seat.

此四人角逐的民主黨初選戰局中,尚包含兩年前獲提名莉莉·唐·威廉斯此乃其第三度問鼎該議席之嘗試。

In stark contrast to the all-Democratic congressional delegation, the Republican Party holds sway at the state governmental echelon.

全民主黨籍的國會代表團形成鮮明對照共和黨在州政府層級掌握主導權

As Republican Governor Kelly Ayotte vies for a second two-year term, she faces two obscure challengers in the party primary;

共和黨籍州長凱莉·阿約特於尋求蟬聯第二個兩年任期之際,於黨內初選中遭遇兩位聲望不彰之挑戰者

Meanwhile, healthcare law expert Cinde Warmington runs unopposed in the Democratic nominating contest.

與此同時醫療保健法律專家辛德·沃明頓則在民主黨提名程序中無人與之抗衡

Voters will likewise nominate candidates for the entire state legislature, where the Republican Party currently commands a majority in the four-hundred-seat State House of Representatives by a margin of roughly forty seats, and holds a sixteen-to-eight seat ratio over the Democrats in the Senate.

選民亦將為整個州議會提名候選人,目前共和黨在擁有四百席的州眾議院中,以約莫四十席之差佔據多數優勢,而在參議院則以十六比八的席次比例凌駕於民主黨之上。

New Hampshire has long been accustomed to leading the charge in the national presidential primaries, yet in the scheduling of its state-level primaries, it has found itself relegated to one of the last cohorts of states to hold them, leaving the victor a scant eight weeks to vigorously court the electorate before November 3rd.

新罕布什爾州向來慣於在全國總統初選中拔得頭籌然而在州級初選的時序上卻淪為最晚舉行的一批州分之一致使勝出者僅餘八週光景須於十一月三日之前竭力爭取選民支持

However, legislation passed this year has rescheduled future state primaries to the second Tuesday of June.

今年所通過之立法已將未來之州級初選改期至六月之第二個星期二
