Merz delivered a statement shortly after exit polls were announced for Berlin and Mecklenburg- Vorpommern Embattled German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has vowed to stay on despite exit polls in two local elections suggesting damaging defeats for his centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party.
柏林和梅克伦堡-前波莫瑞州的出口民调公布后不久,默茨发表了一份声明 陷入困境的德国总理弗里德里希·梅尔茨誓言留任,尽管两次地方选举的出口民意调查显示,他的中右翼基督教民主联盟(CDU)政党遭受了破坏性的失败。
In the north-eastern state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the party was initially projected to only just scrape through, with its worst ever election result.
在东北部的梅克伦堡-前波莫瑞州,该党最初预计只能勉强勉强通过,并取得了有史以来最差的选举结果。
A few hours later, however, it had dipped below the 5% threshold needed to stay in parliament. Merz called the result "a disaster" for his party. Meanwhile the far-right AfD was on track to win the most votes in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
然而几个小时后,该支持率已降至留在议会所需的 5% 以下。 默茨称这一结果对他的政党来说是“一场灾难”。 与此同时,极右翼的德国选择党有望在梅克伦堡-前波莫瑞州赢得最多选票。
In Berlin, the ruling CDU was also expected to be beaten by Die Linke (The Left).
在柏林,执政的基民盟也有望被左翼党击败。
Merz is under mounting pressure, with poor approval ratings and rumours he could even be replaced mid-term in a so-called chancellor swap.
默茨面临着越来越大的压力,支持率很低,有传言称他甚至可能在所谓的总理互换中被替换。
Votes took place on Sunday, a fortnight after the CDU saw its vote halved as the Alternative for Germany (AfD) won a major victory in the state of Saxony-Anhalt.
投票于周日进行,两周前,德国另类选择党 (AfD) 在萨克森-安哈尔特州取得重大胜利,基民盟的得票数减半。
Echoing comments he made after that defeat, Merz told reporters at the party's Berlin headquarters on Sunday that he would forge ahead with his coalition government's plans to push through a package of economic, tax and welfare reforms.
默茨周日在该党柏林总部对记者表示,他呼应了他在失败后发表的言论,他将继续推进联合政府的计划,推动一揽子经济、税收和福利改革。
"The reforms have to come," he insisted.
“改革必须到来,”他坚持说。
"I am taking on this responsibility, because I want to move our country forward". "What needs to be done now requires backbone, steadfastness and patience," Merz said.
“我承担这个责任,因为我想推动我们的国家前进”。 默茨说:“现在需要做的事情需要勇气、坚定和耐心。”
"I will demonstrate this as CDU party chairman and, above all, as chancellor of our country." "I would even go so far as to say that these reforms are the antidote to the authoritarian poison that, with the fascination of authoritarianism, is penetrating ever deeper into our society," Merz added.
“作为基民盟党主席,最重要的是,作为我国总理,我将证明这一点。” 默茨补充道:“我什至可以说,这些改革是独裁毒药的解药,随着独裁主义的魅力,这种毒药正在越来越深入地渗透到我们的社会中。”
There was a muted response to exit polls at the CDU's election night gathering in Berlin As the projected results came up on the screen at the CDU's election night gathering in Berlin, there were no cheers or celebration.
基民盟在柏林举行的选举之夜集会上,对出口民意调查反应冷淡 当预计结果出现在柏林基民盟选举之夜集会上的屏幕上时,没有欢呼或庆祝。
This is a party that knows it's in trouble, and its leader quickly went on the offensive, declaring that he is going nowhere.
这是一个知道自己陷入困境的政党,其领导人迅速发起攻势,宣称他不会前进。
Merz has long coveted the top job in German politics, and likely won't give it up easily.

Public broadcasters ZDF and ARD put the AfD ahead in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
公共广播公司 ZDF 和 ARD 使 AfD 在梅克伦堡-前波莫瑞州领先。
The party was projected to take 38% of the vote share in the state, according to ZDF, followed in second place by the centre-left SPD, on 36%.
据德国电视二台称,该党预计将获得该州 38% 的选票,其次是中左翼社会民主党 (SPD),得票率为 36%。
The CDU was on 5% of the vote. It would mark the first time the AfD had the largest vote share in the state, but it is unlikely to govern in the state as other parties refuse to work with it. For Berlin, the broadcaster put the CDU on 20% of the vote share when polls closed, behind Die Linke - which has never topped polls in the capital before - on nearly 26%.
基民盟获得 5% 的选票。 这将标志着选择党首次在该州拥有最大的选票份额,但由于其他政党拒绝与其合作,它不太可能在该州执政。 至于柏林,该广播公司在民意调查结束时将基民盟的得票率定为 20%,落后于德国左翼党 (Die Linke),该党此前从未在首都的民意调查中名列前茅,其得票率接近 26%。
The AfD also looks set to increase its vote in Berlin, with a projected 16% of the vote.
德国选择党似乎也将增加在柏林的选票,预计得票率达到 16%。

Earlier this week, the leaders of eight German states backed Merz, who has only been chancellor for 16 months.
本周早些时候,德国八个州的领导人支持了才担任总理 16 个月的梅尔茨。
On Sunday, Burkard Dregger from the CDU in Berlin, told the BBC it was right that Merz should stay on.
周日,柏林基民盟的布尔卡德·德雷格 (Burkard Dregger) 告诉 BBC,梅尔茨应该留下来,这是正确的。
"He has a lot of work to do and we don't have time to waste to form new government in the federal level".
“他有很多工作要做,我们没有时间浪费在联邦层面组建新政府”。
He described the electorate as "impatient", adding that it was "not realistic to expect that every issue has been solved within one year.
他形容选民“不耐烦”,并补充说“指望所有问题都在一年内得到解决是不现实的。”
"He has got four years and we have to give him the four years," Dregger said. While his backers have argued that many of the problems the nation faces are inherited, Merz himself is deeply unpopular.
“他有四年的时间,我们必须给他四年的时间,”德雷格说。 尽管他的支持者认为国家面临的许多问题都是继承而来的,但默茨本人却非常不受欢迎。
The former corporate lawyer's tack to the right on issues like immigration has failed to erode AfD support, while also alienating people further to the left.
