The peaceful transfer of power in America ground to a halt on Wednesday after angry mobs of pro-Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building and forced lawmakers to abandon the certification of Joe Biden’s presidential victory.
周三，支持唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的愤怒暴徒袭击了美国国会大厦，迫使议员放弃认证乔·拜登（Joe Biden）胜选，这使得美国权力的和平移交陷入停滞。
The violent clashes capped two months of political turmoil during which President Donald Trump repeatedly refused to accept his defeat to Mr Biden and stoked anger among his supporters by peddling baseless allegations of mass voter fraud.
这场暴力冲突让两个月以来政治动荡走到顶峰。在此期间，美国总统特朗普一再拒绝接受自己输给拜登的事实，并通过兜售存在大规模选民欺诈的毫无根据的指控在他的支持者中激起愤怒情绪。

Mr Biden warned that American democracy was under “unprecedented assault” and called for Mr Trump to appear on national TV to “demand an end to this siege”.
拜登警告称美国的民主受到了“前所未有的侵犯”，并呼吁特朗普在全国电视台露面，“要求停止这场包围”。
Moments later, Mr Trump appeared in a video posted to Twitter in which he called for his supporters to “go home”, while also professing his “love” for them. He described them as “very special”, and falsely claimed he won the election in a “landslide”.
很快，特朗普在Twitter上发表一段视频，他在视频中呼吁他的支持者“回家”，同时也表达了对他们的“爱”。他称他们“非常特别”，并谎称自己“以压倒性的优势”赢得了大选。
