Iranians, apparently surprised that the candidate whom a majority of them had backed (over six harder-line candidates) had won, poured into the streets and hailed a victory “for the people.” To be sure, it was a carefully controlled election: all candidates who might actually have challenged Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s authority were disqualified in advance.
伊朗人民显然对大部分人支持的候选人（压倒六名强硬派候选人）获胜感到惊喜，他们涌上街头，欢呼“人民”的胜利。平心而论，这是一场精心控制的选举：所有可能在事实上挑战最高领袖哈梅内伊权威的候选人都被剔除了。但是，在如此这般限制之内，政府仍允许人民用选票说话。
