Brazilians reelected President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Sunday, handing him 51.75 percent of the votes, compared to 48.25 percent for challenger Flavio Bolsonaro.
巴西选民周日再次选举路易斯・伊纳西奥・卢拉・达席尔瓦总统，卢拉获得 51.75% 的选票，竞争对手弗拉维奥・博索纳罗得票率为 48.25%。

Lula's victory goes against a shift to the right in recent elections across South America, and will be his fourth term as president.
卢拉的胜选与南美洲近期大选整体右转的趋势相悖，这将是他的第四个总统任期。

Lula was president from 2003 to 2010 and later spent 580 days in prison on corruption convictions, which were annulled by Brazil's Supreme Court in 2021. He went on to defeat then-president Jair Bolsonaro — Flavio Bolsonaro's father — who was convicted and jailed on charges of orchestrating a coup.
卢拉 2003 年至 2010 年担任巴西总统，后来因贪腐定罪入狱 580 天，该判决于 2021 年被巴西联邦最高法院撤销。他随后击败时任总统雅伊尔・博索纳罗，也就是弗拉维奥・博索纳罗的父亲；雅伊尔・博索纳罗因策划政变的罪名成立而入狱。

Bolsonaro headed into the final ballot as the front-runner, having won 47.03 percent of the vote to 45.16 percent for Lula in the first round of voting this month. Since neither candidate secured a majority of votes, a runoff was held on Sunday.
博索纳罗在首轮投票中以 47.03% 对卢拉 45.16% 的得票率领先，以领跑者身份进入最终投票。由于两名候选人均未拿到过半数选票，周日举行了第二轮决选。

Almost every time China climbs another rung of the industrial ladder, an alarm sounds in some Western policy circles.
每当中国在产业阶梯上向上攀登一级，西方部分政策圈就会拉响警报。

The original "China Shock" followed the country's integration into global manufacturing and its accession to the World Trade Organization in 2001.
最初的 “中国冲击”，源于中国融入全球制造业体系，并于 2001 年加入世界贸易组织。

The "China Shock 2.0" accompanied China's ascent in green manufacturing. Affordable solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles made decarbonization cheaper, accelerated technological adoption and gave consumers alternatives to expensive incumbents.
“中国冲击 2.0” 伴随着中国绿色制造业崛起出现。平价光伏板、电池和电动汽车降低了脱碳成本，加速技术落地，为消费者提供了高价老牌产品之外的新选择。
