U.S. President Joe Biden is feeling emboldened after Democrats defied predictions of big GOP gains during the midterm elections on Tuesday.

美联社驻华盛顿记者萨加尔·梅格哈尼报道。

At a news conference, the president noted "the press and pundits forecast a giant red wave."

在一次新闻发布会上,拜登总统指出,“媒体和权威人士预测将出现巨大的红色浪潮。”

"It didn't happen."

“那并没有发生。”

Instead, "Democrats had a strong name," limiting Republican gains in the House and keeping a potential path toward holding the Senate majority.

相反,“民主党有一个很强的名字”,限制了共和党众议院席位的增加,并为参议院维持其多数席位铺平了道路。

At the same time, "the voters were also clear that they are still frustrated. I get it."

与此同时,“选民们也清楚表明,他们仍然对国家的发展感到沮丧。我能够理解他们。”

But the president says while he's willing to compromise with Republicans amid the likelihood of divided government, "I'm not gonna change anything in any fundamental way."

由于可能出现“分裂政府”的情况,拜登表示愿意与共和党作出妥协,但表示“我不会做出任何根本上的改变。”

伊朗陆军地面部队指挥官星期三表示,如果伊朗最高领袖哈梅内伊下令更严厉地镇压全国范围内的抗议活动,伊朗伊斯兰共和国就不会有所谓的“暴徒”。

伊朗半官方的梅尔通讯社报道。

Anti-government demonstrations erupted in September after the death in police custody of a Kurdish woman, Mahsa Amini, who had been detained by morality police for allegedly flouting the Islamic Republic's strict dress code imposed on women.
