PARIS – Before the second round of France’s regional elections on Sunday, most predictions suggested that five, perhaps six, of the country’s regional governments would fall into the hands of the National Front (FN). But the French people pulled themselves together and turned out to vote in much greater numbers than anyone expected.
巴黎—星期日法国第二轮地区选举之前，大部分预测都表明法国五到六个地区政府将落入国民阵线之手。但法国人民齐心协力，投票率远高于任何人的预期。结果是，这个仇外的种族主义政党，与伟大的法国的一切品质格格不入的政党，在所有志在必得的选区中都被击败了。
