Former 2020 US presidential contender Andrew Yang is joining an increasingly crowded race for mayor of New York City.

前2020年美國總統參選人楊元慶正在加入越來越擁擠的紐約市市長競選。

The Democrat built an ardent grassroots following in his presidential campaign last year with a pledge to create a universal basic income that would pay every American $1000 a month.

這位民主黨人在去年的總統競選中建立了一批熱心的草根追隨者，他承諾建立一個全民基本收入，讓每個美國人每月都有1000美元的收入。

And he announced the same pledge for New Yorkers at a press conference Thursday.

而他也在週四的新聞發佈會上宣佈了對紐約人的同樣承諾。

We need to make New York City the corporate comeback city, but also the anti poverty city.

我們要把紐約市打造成企業復出的城市，同時也要打造成反貧困的城市。

As mayor, we will launch the largest basic income program in the history of the country right here in New York.

作為市長，我們將在紐約啟動該國曆史上最大的基本收入計劃。

Yang, a native New Yorker and Ivy League educated son of Taiwanese immigrants, stressed the need for an accessible healthcare system and a co vid recovery plan that helps working people.

紐約人、常春藤聯盟教育的臺灣移民之子楊先生強調，需要一個方便的醫療系統和一個幫助勞動者的共同康復計劃。

He has received criticism this week after telling The New York Times that he had not remained in the city full time when it shut down this spring, saying quote, Can you imagine trying toe have two kids on virtual school in a two bedroom apartment and then trying to do work yourself more than a dozen other candidates have already declared, including Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer and former Wall Street executive Raymond McGuire, whose campaign has already raised over $5 million pushing him to the forefront of the race.

他本週收到了責備，因為他告訴紐約時報，當它在今年春天關閉時，他沒有留在這個城市的全職時間，他說：報價，你能想象試圖在一個兩居室的公寓裡有兩個孩子在虛擬學校，然後試圖自己做工作其他十幾個候選人已經宣佈，包括布魯克林區主席埃裡克-亞當斯，紐約市主計長斯科特-斯特林格和前華爾街高管雷蒙德-麥奎爾，他的競選活動已經籌集了超過500萬美元，將他推到了比賽的最前沿。

Registered Democrats will vote for their nominee in the primary election on June 22nd, 2021 ahead of the general election on November 2nd.

註冊的民主黨人將在2021年6月22日的初選中投票支持他們的提名人，然後在11月2日的大選中投票。
