Yet, barring a last-minute miracle – a major mistake by Hollande that wrecks his credibility, or a fresh bout of crisis that stokes voters’ desire for reassuring continuity at the top – Sarkozy appears condemned to be the second one-term president in the history of the Fifth Republic, following Valéry Giscard d’Estaing.
但除非在最后一刻出现了奇迹——比如奥朗德犯下了自毁信誉的大错，或者新一轮危机的侵袭使得选民将保持连续性重新放到了第一位，否则萨科齐将很可能步吉斯卡尔·德斯坦（Valéry Giscard d’Estaing）的后尘，成为法兰西第五共和国历史上第二位只干了一届就下台的总统。
