2012美国总统大选奥巴马获胜 连任美国总统

President Barack Obama won re-election to a second term in the White House on Tuesday, television networks projected, beating Republican challenger Mitt Romney after a long and bitter campaign.
在经过一段漫长而艰辛的竞选活动后，美国当地时间11月6日，美国总统奥巴马战胜了共和党候选人罗姆尼，胜出2012美国总统大选成功连任，将迎来执政白宫的第二个任期。

Obama defeated Romney in a series of key swing states despite a weak economic recovery and persistent high unemployment as U.S. voters decided between two starkly different visions for the country.
尽管在奥巴马担任美国总统的过去的四年里，美国经济复苏缓慢、失业率居高不下，奥巴马在几个关键的摇摆州获得的选票还是高于罗姆尼。美国选民在两种风格明显迥异的国家发展愿景中做出了自己的决定。

Obama's victory in the hotly contested swing state of Ohio - as projected by TV networks - put him over the top in the fight for the 270 electoral votes needed to clinch the White House and ended Romney's hopes of pulling off a string of swing-state upsets.
根据电视网的预测数据，奥巴马在大选必争之地的摇摆州俄亥俄州取得了胜利，而这使得他在大选之战中获胜，获得了超过当选总统所需的270张选举人投票，也终结了罗姆尼在一系列的摇摆州混战中燃起的希望。

Obama scored narrow wins in Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire - all states that Romney had contested - while the only swing state captured by Romney was North Carolina, according to network projections.
奥巴马在俄亥俄州、威斯康星州、爱荷华州、宾夕法尼亚州和新罕布什尔州都以微弱的优势超过了罗姆尼，而在这些地方罗姆尼都曾经前往发表过演讲。根据网络数据，唯一被罗姆尼的风采征服的摇摆州是北卡罗来纳州。

There was no immediate word from the Romney camp on the reported results.
在大选结果公布后，罗姆尼竞选阵营暂时没有发表言论。

At least 120 million American voters had been expected to cast votes in the race between the Democratic incumbent and Romney after a campaign focused on how to repair the ailing U.S. economy.
来自民主党的奥巴马和共和党的罗姆尼在竞选活动中，都把重点放在如何修复萎靡不振的美国经济上。据估计，至少有1.2亿的美国选民将选举投票。
