Friedrich Merz is facing increasing questions over whether he should remain chancellor and continue as CDU leader The leaders of eight German states have backed the nation's chancellor amid growing speculation about his political future.
弗里德里希·梅尔茨（Friedrich Merz）面临着越来越多的问题，即他是否应该继续担任总理并继续担任基民盟领导人 德国八个州的领导人支持德国总理，因为人们对他的政治前途的猜测越来越多。
The premiers - all of whom are part of Friedrich Merz's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) - wrote that restoring trust in their party lay in "listening and taking political action, not in debates over personnel".
总理们都是弗里德里希·梅尔茨领导的基督教民主联盟（CDU）的成员，他们写道，恢复对党的信任在于“倾听并采取政治行动，而不是关于人事的辩论”。
Merz, who has only held the post for 16 months, is facing poor approval ratings while the anti-immigration, far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is surging, prompting questions about whether he is an electoral liability.
默茨仅任职 16 个月，他的支持率很低，而反移民的极右翼德国另类选择党 (AfD) 的呼声高涨，引发了人们对他是否会成为选举负担的质疑。
He has vowed to carry on but two more state elections on Sunday have been seen as a key test of his leadership.
他发誓要继续留任，但周日举行的另外两次州选举被视为对他领导力的关键考验。
Rumours of a "Kanzlertausch" - or "Chancellor swap" - have been around for months, but they have increased since the conservative CDU tumbled to a distant second behind the AfD in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt at the start of September.
关于“Kanzlertausch”或“总理互换”的传言已经流传了好几个月，但自九月初保守派基民盟在东部萨克森-安哈尔特州跌落至远远落后于德国选择党之后的第二位以来，这种传言有所增加。
The AfD shot up to 43.8% of the vote while the CDU plummeted to 17.2%, marking the first time since World War Two that a far-right party has come close to controlling a German state.
德国选择党的得票率飙升至 43.8%，而基民盟则骤降至 17.2%，这是自第二次世界大战以来极右翼政党首次接近控制德国一个州。
It is still three seats short of an outright majority and the major parties would not enter into a coalition with the AfD, though it could seek to form a minority government.
它距离绝对多数席位还差三个席位，而且主要政党不会与选择党结盟，尽管它可能会寻求组建少数派政府。
Merz came out fighting after the loss, describing the AfD - which wants to rebuild ties with Russia - as a "destructive force" whose migration policy amounted to an "ethnic cleansing" of skilled workers.
默茨在失败后站出来抗议，将希望与俄罗斯重建关系的德国选择党描述为一股“破坏性力量”，其移民政策相当于对技术工人的“种族清洗”。
The AfD responded to his remarks by saying it was filing a defamation complaint against the chancellor over what it described as "baseless" and "disgusting" claims.
德国选择党回应了他的言论，称正在针对总理的“毫无根据”和“令人厌恶”的说法提出诽谤投诉。
The chancellor's abrasive communication style and personal unpopularity - with just 14% thinking he is right for the job, according to a recent Bild poll - have raised questions about his viability as leader of both Germany and the CDU.
德国总理粗暴的沟通风格和个人不受欢迎——根据《图片报》最近的一项民意调查显示，只有 14% 的人认为他适合担任这一职位——这引发了人们对他作为德国和基民盟领导人的生存能力的质疑。
The CDU's eight state premiers wrote, however, that "now more than ever, Germany's political landscape needs stability".
然而，基民盟的八位州总理写道，“德国的政治格局现在比以往任何时候都更需要稳定”。
"Our country will continue to need a stable and effective federal government with its own majority in the Bundestag [German parliament]," said the leaders of Schleswig-Holstein, Saxony, Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia, Berlin and North Rhine-Westphalia.
石勒苏益格-荷尔斯泰因州、萨克森州、黑森州、莱茵兰-普法尔茨州、萨克森-安哈尔特州、图林根州、柏林和北莱茵-威斯特法伦州的领导人表示：“我们的国家将继续需要一个稳定、有效的联邦政府，并在联邦议院拥有多数席位。”
How significant are AfD's historic gains for Germany and the rest of Europe?
德国选择党的历史性进步对于德国和欧洲其他国家来说有多重要？
It comes after Markus Söder, the premier of Bavaria and leader of the CDU's sister party the CSU, stood by Merz.
此前，巴伐利亚州州长、基民盟姊妹党基社盟领导人马库斯·索德尔支持了梅尔茨。
An unnamed party source told news agency Reuters that CDU officials will meet on Sunday to co-ordinate the party's response to the results of that day's state elections in Berlin and Mecklenburg-West Pomerania - where the AfD is poised for further gains and the CDU for further losses.
一位不愿透露姓名的政党消息人士告诉路透社，基民盟官员将于周日开会，协调该党对当天柏林和梅克伦堡-西波美拉尼亚州选举结果的反应，在这两个州，选择党将进一步获胜，而基民盟则将进一步失利。
However, the race is far more evenly split in the German capital than it was in Saxony-Anhalt, with the CDU and Die Linke (The Left) vying for first place, and the AfD and Greens not far behind, according to polls.
然而，根据民意调查，德国首都的选情分布比萨克森-安哈特州要均匀得多，基民盟和左翼党争夺第一名，选择党和绿党紧随其后。
In Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, polls put the AfD ahead of the centre-left SPD but likely well short of an outright majority.
在梅克伦堡-西波美拉尼亚州，民意调查显示德国选择党领先于中左翼社会民主党，但可能远未达到绝对多数。
The worst-case scenario for Merz would be for the CDU to lose power in Berlin and not get enough votes to even have a presence in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania's parliament.
对梅尔茨来说，最糟糕的情况是基民盟在柏林失去权力，并且无法获得足够的选票，甚至无法在梅克伦堡-西波美拉尼亚议会中占有一席之地。
Unlike in the UK, Germany is not well-versed in replacing its leader mid-term, though Merz could, in theory, be pressured to resign or face a vote of no confidence, though many regard that outcome as unlikely.
与英国不同，德国并不擅长中期更换领导人，尽管理论上默茨可能会被迫辞职或面临不信任投票，但许多人认为这种结果不太可能出现。
No one within the CDU has yet said they were willing to challenge Merz, but the speculation about his future has led to several names - including Söder, North Rhine-Westphalia premier Hendrik Wüst and German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt - being touted as potential successors.
基民盟内部尚未有人表示愿意挑战梅尔茨，但对他未来的猜测导致一些人——包括索德尔、北莱茵-威斯特法伦州总理亨德里克·武斯特和德国内政部长亚历山大·多布林特——被吹捧为潜在的继任者。
Even before Merz had officially been made chancellor, he managed to rally support for a massive €500bn ($547bn; £420bn) defence infrastructure fund, with his straight-talking style and focus on European security earning him plaudits on the world stage.
甚至在默茨正式就任总理之前，他就成功地为规模达 5000 亿欧元（5470 亿美元；4200 亿英镑）的国防基础设施基金争取到了支持，其直言不讳的风格和对欧洲安全的关注为他在世界舞台上赢得了赞誉。
But it took him three attempts to become CDU leader and he then lost an initial vote to become chancellor despite technically having sufficient votes through a coalition deal with the SPD.
但他在三次尝试成为基民盟领导人之后，尽管通过与社会民主党的联盟协议在技术上获得了足够的选票，但他在成为总理的最初投票中失败了。
It was a first in post-war Germany. This suggests that he has a history of struggling to appeal to even those within his own ranks - and that he may be unlikely to let go of a job he has long coveted.
这在战后德国尚属首次。 这表明他一直在努力吸引自己队伍中的人，而且他可能不太可能放弃他一直觊觎已久的工作。
Germany's Merz attacks AfD in stormy debate after far-right election win Germany's far-right AfD says 'democracy demands' parties work with them after state election win Germany's far-right AfD hails big victory in east, but falls short of majority
德国极右翼选举获胜后，默茨在激烈的辩论中攻击选择党 德国极右翼选择党表示“民主要求”政党在州选举获胜后与他们合作 德国极右翼选择党在东部地区取得重大胜利，但未能获得多数席位
