VOA常速英语:法国大选：极右翼政党领导人、民粹主义者——勒庞发表演说参选总统

It’s a bitter morning.Hot chocolate and sweater weather, a good day to stay at home.But not when the presidential elections are just three months away and usual member other far-right National Front party.
这天早晨天气寒冷。很适合宅在家里，身着毛衣，喝杯热巧克力驱寒。但是离法国总统大选仅剩三个月的时间，极右翼政党“国民阵线”成员们仍要冒着严寒，走上街头。

This working class town once voted communist.Now it’s solidly center-right.Today, City Councilor Laurent Salles believes Suresnes is ready for his candidate: Marine Le Pen.“We have often been demonized, but look at the results of recent elections that show we are the leading party of France.”
该小镇人口多为工薪阶层，曾支持法国共产党。现在转而极力支持中右翼政党。市镇议员劳伦特.塞勒斯认为，苏雷斯尼小镇现在已经准备好，要将选票投给玛丽娜.勒庞。“一直以来，我们常被妖魔化。但是，要看到，最近的选举结果表明，我们是法国的领导党派。”

And it’s true.The party’s popularity has grown steadily. It often comes out a head in polls although that usually doesn’t play out in the ballot box.If she is elected President, Le Pen wants to hold a referendum on leaving the European Union.She also wants to reestablish French borders, cut the number of law-makers, and intensify the fight against Islamic extremism.
的确如此。该党派越来越广受欢迎。虽然最终的投票结果往往不占优势，但常在民意调查中处于领先地位。勒庞若赢得大选，将举行全民公投，以决定是否退出欧盟。同时，她希望重建国家边界，削减立法人员数量，加大力度打击伊斯兰极端主义。

“Our populists, those who want to defend the governments of, for and on behalf of the people.If that is the case, then I accept being called a populist.”
“人们口中所说的‘民粹主义者’，指的是那些努力捍卫民有、民治、民享政府的人。如果是这样的话，那我可以接受人们将我称作‘民粹主义者’。”

Some here say, they are thinking of voting for her.Some think many would not have admitted just a few years ago although they are still wavering.“I don’t know yet, I don’t know yet, I have to understand more their purposal and then I will decide later.”
一些居民表示，他们正考虑将选票投给勒庞。还有些人表示，目前人们还在犹豫观望，要知道，几年之前，很多人甚至都不愿公开承认自己是勒庞的支持者。“我现在还不知道。还没有做出决定。我还需要多加了解候选人的施政理念，之后才能做出决定。”

The first round of elections is not until April,time for many more flyers and maybe a few surprises along the way.
法国大选第一轮投票将于四月份举行，支持者们还有时间派发更多传单，也许，在此过程中，会收获惊喜。
