Issues in the presidential campaign
总统竞选议题

Terrorism and national security have been major issues throughout the presidential campaign. Candidates have also focused on France's future in the European Union, a weakening economy and high unemployment.
在整个总统竞选期间，恐怖主义和国家安全一直都是重大议题。候选人还关注了法国在欧盟的未来，经济疲软以及失业率高。

Four candidates have emerged as the top contenders. The two receiving the most votes will advance to a runoff election to be held May 7.
有四名候选人已经成为了最终争夺者。其中获得最多票数的两名候选人将进入5月7日举行的决选投票。

One of the leading candidates is far-right leader Marine Le Pen, who has pushed anti-EU, anti-immigration measures. She said the Paris attack showed the current government is weak on national security. She promised to beat "Islamic terrorism."
其中一名领先的候选人是极右翼领导人玛丽娜·勒庞（Marine Le Pen），她推出了反欧盟、反移民措施。她称巴黎袭击表明了现任政府在国家安全方面的软弱。她承诺要打击伊斯兰恐怖主义。

Le Pen, leader of the National Front party, urged the outgoing Socialist government to immediately re-establish border controls. French Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve accused her of trying to politicize the Paris attack.
作为国民阵线党魁的勒庞呼吁即将离任的社会党领导下的政府立即恢复边境管制。法国总理卡泽内夫指责她试图将巴黎袭击政治化。

Current opinion surveys show Le Pen is running a close second behind Emmanuel Macron, a former economy minister. He is seen as a centrist candidate, running without major party backing.
In a video posted after the attack, Macron said the French people must not give in to fear, division and intimidation.
目前的民意调查显示，勒庞紧随前经济部长埃马纽埃尔·马克龙（Emmanuel Macron）之后位居第二。马克龙被视为中间派候选人，他在没有主要党派支持下参加竞选。

He said the goal of terrorists was to "destabilize" the country. He added that it was the role of president and commander-in-chief to protect the French people from enemies and said, "I am ready."
他说恐怖分子的目标是破坏国家稳定。他补充说，总统和三军统帅的任务是保护法国人民免受敌人的伤害并表示，“我已经准备好了。”

Macron has called for an increase in police and military forces to improve national security. He also wants to strengthen intelligence services and step up French military operations against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
马克龙呼吁增加警察和部队以提高国家安全。他还想要强化情报部门，加紧法国对伊拉克和叙利亚境内的伊斯兰国的军事行动。

Conservative Francois Fillon and far-left candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon each have about 20 percent support. A new opinion survey showed up to 30 percent of French voters were still undecided going into Sunday's vote.
保守派弗朗索瓦·菲永（Francois Fillon）和极左翼候选人让-吕克·梅朗雄(Jean-Luc Melenchon)分别获得了20%左右的支持率。一项新的民意调查显示，高达30%的法国选民尚未决定参与周日的投票。

Fillon also spoke about the latest attack. He wants to continue a state of emergency put in place after a series of deadly attacks in November 2015. "The fight for the French people's freedom and security will be mine. This must be a priority," he said.
菲永也谈到了最近这场袭击。他希望继续维持2015年11月一系列致命袭击事件之后实施的紧急状态。他说，“为法国人民争取自由和安全将是我的重中之重。”

Melenchon is running for president for the second time after finishing in fourth place five years ago. He has promised to tax the rich and renegotiate France's role in EU and international trade agreements. He also wants to give more power to parliament and stop the use of nuclear power, the source of nearly 80 percent of France's electricity.
梅郎雄这是第二次竞选总统，5年前的竞选中他最终位居第四。他承诺向富人征税，重新谈判法国在欧盟和国际贸易协定中的角色。他还希望赋予议会更大权力，并停止使用占据法国近80%电力来源的核电。
