United States Senator Jeanne Shaheen has declared that she will not seek re-election, a pronouncement that has immediately ignited an exceptionally fierce electoral contest.

美国参议员珍妮·沙欣宣布不再寻求连任此举旋即触发了一场竞争异常白热化的选战

Among the eight Republican contenders vying to succeed the three-term Democratic senator are two former United States senators whom she has previously vanquished: John E. Sununu and Scott Brown.

在八位意欲接替这位三届民主党参议员共和党角逐者中,有两位是她此前曾击败过的前美国参议员约翰·E·苏努努斯科特·布朗

Simultaneously, a five-way scramble for the Democratic nomination has also commenced, featuring among its ranks United States Representative Chris Pappaswho has relinquished his seat in the First Congressional District, a decision that has likewise drawn a multitude of aspirants in droves.

与此同时民主党提名人的五方混战亦已拉开帷幕其中便包括美国众议员克里斯·帕帕斯——他放弃了自己在第一国会选区的席位这一决定同样吸引了众多候选人纷至沓来

Shaheen's daughter, Stefany Shaheen, is vying for the Democratic nomination to contest the seat vacated by Pappas, with erstwhile candidate Maura Sullivan also throwing her hat into the ring.

沙欣之女斯特凡尼·沙欣正谋求民主党提名以角逐帕帕斯所遗席位而先前候选人莫拉·沙利文亦跻身此役

In several other pivotal contests, a host of candidates have likewise re-entered the fray.

其余数场要角逐中亦见多名候选人再度披挂上阵

Sununu, having served six years in the House of Representatives and a single term in the Senate, was defeated by Shaheen in 2008; in this campaign, his platform centers on the affordability of housing, healthcare, and energy, alongside imperatives such as holding Congress accountable and serving constituents.

苏努努曾于众议院任职六载复于参议院供职一届2008年为沙欣所败此番竞选其议题聚焦于住房、医疗及能源之可负担性兼及问责国会服务选民等要务

"Seventeen years have slipped by since I withdrew from the political arena.

自政坛引退倏忽已历十七春秋

As for the matter of re-election, why should it weigh upon my mind?" he declared with fervour at a campaign rally last month,

至于连任之事岂足萦怀?”彼于上月竞选集会中慨然言道

"I harbour no aspirations for the honours of rank and emolument, nor do I deign to engage in sycophantic obsequiousness.

既无求于爵禄之荣亦不屑于曲意逢迎

All that occupies my thoughts is but this single resolve: to stand resolute and unflinching for the people of New Hampshire, undeterred by any consequence."

余之所念唯有一端为新罕布什尔州之苍生挺然独立,义无反顾。”

Brown had previously represented Massachusetts, having triumphed in a special election following the demise of Senator Ted Kennedy in 2010, only to suffer defeat in his bid for re-election in 2012.

布朗此前曾代表马萨诸塞州于2010年参议员特德·肯尼迪逝世后在特别选举中胜出继而于2012年竞选连任失利

Subsequently, he mounted an unsuccessful challenge against Shaheen in 2014, and during the inaugural term of President Donald Trump, he served as the United States Ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa.

其后他在2014年挑战沙欣未果并在唐纳德·特朗普总统的首个任期内出任美国驻新西兰及萨摩亚大使

In a July interview, he articulated his decision to re-enter the political fray, attributing it to the dearth of Republican representation from New Hampshire in Congress, and, in his estimation, the unparalleled reservoir of experience he has amassed as a veteran, legislator, diplomat, and grandfatherone that no rival could hope to rival.

在七月的一次访谈中他阐明了自己再度出山的决定缘由在于新罕布什尔州的共和党人在国会中缺乏代言人,且在他看来他身为退伍军人、立法者、外交使节及祖父所积淀的经验无人能望其项背

He excoriated Sununuwhose father and younger brother have both served as governorfor having ascended the political ranks by dint of his family's legacy.

抨击苏努努——其父胞弟曾任州长——仰仗家族余荫跻身政坛

Although Sununu had denounced Trump as a "loser" in 2024, he has since secured the latter's endorsement; nevertheless, Brown contends that this maneuver merely renders Sununu ever more beholden to the president and other vested interests.

尽管苏努努曾在2024年将特朗普斥为失败者”,如今却已赢得后者背书布朗断言此举不过苏努努愈发受制于总统及其他特殊利益集团之掣肘。

"I am the only genuinely independent candidate in this race, able to act according to my conscience and cast my vote in the best interests of New Hampshire," Brown declared.

此地唯一真正秉持独立立场候选人得以凭良知行事,并依据新罕布什尔州之最大福祉而投下票决,”布朗如是言道

Jim Loomis, an octogenarian of three-and-eighty years hailing from the town of Bow, recollected that he had lent his staunch support to Brown in 2014, yet on this Tuesday past he withheld his aid once more, attributing his reticence to the fact that "he could no longer muster any semblance of momentum."

现年八旬有三祖籍鲍镇的吉姆·卢米斯追忆道,自己于2014年曾力挺布朗本周二却未再施以援手缘由在于他再也未能积聚起任何势头”。

He confessed that, notwithstanding Sununu's more protracted absence from the political arena, he nonetheless cast his ballot in favour of the latter.

他坦言尽管苏努努淡出政坛的岁月更为绵长他依旧将自己的选票倾注于后者

"In my estimation, his years of accumulated experience have rendered him profoundly perspicacious in this domain, and the deep-rooted foundation bestowed by his familial lineage further fortifies his stance as unassailable," he thus averred.

窃以为经年累月之历练已使其对该领域洞若观火加之其家族渊源所赋予的深厚根基更令其立场稳如磐石,”他如是断言

After four terms in office, Pappas resolutely relinquished his House seat, amassing campaign funds that amounted to twice the combined total of Sununu and Brown, thereby eclipsing his Democratic primary rivals.

帕帕斯在历经四届任期后毅然放弃众议院席位其筹款总额竟为苏努努与布朗二人合计金额两倍之多民主党初选对手相形见绌

Notwithstanding his continued commanding lead in the polls, his margin over Karishma Manzoor, a scientist and democratic socialist, has recently narrowed.

尽管在民调中仍保持显著优势近期科学家兼民主社会主义者卡里什马·曼祖尔的领先幅度已有所收窄

Christine Selesnick, 41, hailing from Bow, conceded that while Papas was not without merit as a "decent" candidate, she harbored profound discontent over his acceptance of super PAC funding, and on the resolution concerning restrictions on arms sales to Israel, she cast an "aye" vote rather than a nay, ultimately bestowing her ballot unreservedly upon Manzoor.

41岁的克里斯汀·塞莱斯尼克来自鲍镇,她坦言帕帕斯虽不失为一位“尚可”的候选人然对其接纳超级政治行动委员会资金之举深表不满且在针对以色列武器销售限制的议案上,她投了“在场”票而非反对票最终将选票倾囊授予曼祖尔

"I wholeheartedly endorse her entire policy platform," she declared, "and I am firmly convinced that she will raise a resounding and clarion voice for the Granite State."

“我由衷赞同她的整套施政方略,”她表示,“深信她必将为花岗岩州发出振聋发聩的强音。”
