Lewis Cato and the Lakeshore Band, everybody.

劉易斯-卡託和湖岸樂隊，各位。

Folks, you know, tomorrow is a big election here in New York.

And if history is any guide, the winner of that race will go on to become the next most hated New Yorker.

如果以史為鑑，這場比賽的獲勝者將成為下一個最令人憎恨的紐約人。

Now, we don't talk about local races a lot here, but the race for mayor of New York City has national implication.

現在，我們不常在這裡談論地方選舉，但紐約市市長的競選關係到全國。

Previous New York mayors, Rudy Giuliani, Michael Bloomberg, and Bill de Blasio, all ran for president.

前任紐約市長魯迪-朱利安尼（Rudy Giuliani）、邁克爾-布隆伯格（Michael Bloomberg）和比爾-德布拉西奧（Bill de Blasio）都曾競選過總統。

And our current mayor, Eric Adams, appears to be running for prime minister of Turkey.

而我們的現任市長埃裡克-亞當斯似乎正在競選土耳其總理。

This year, there are 14 candidates, including state senator Jessica Ramos, former comptroller Scott Stringer, businessman Whitney Tilson, state senator Zellnor Myrie, and the unfortunately named New York City council speaker Adrian Adams, who is in no way related to the deeply unpopular current New York mayor, Eric Adams.

今年共有 14 位候選人，包括州參議員傑西卡-拉莫斯（Jessica Ramos）、前主計長斯科特-斯特林格（Scott Stringer）、商人惠特尼-蒂爾遜（Whitney Tilson）、州參議員澤爾諾-邁裡（Zellnor Myrie），以及紐約市議會議長亞德里安-亞當斯（Adrian Adams），後者與極不受歡迎的現任紐約市長埃裡克-亞當斯（Eric Adams）毫無關係。

It's a tough break for her, but not as rough as it was for the independent candidate, Adolf Jared from Subway Cosby.

這對她來說是個艱難的抉擇，但不像獨立候選人、來自 Subway Cosby 的阿道夫-賈裡德那樣艱難。

The frontrunner for most of this race has been former New York governor Andrew Cuomo, who... who resigned in 2021 after being accused of multiple counts of sexual harassment, which explains his campaign slogan, Cuomo 2025, your hair smells real nice.

在競選的大部分時間裡，領先者一直是前紐約州州長安德魯-科莫（Andrew Cuomo），他......在被指控多項性騷擾罪名後於2021年辭職，這也解釋了為什麼他的競選口號是 "科莫2025，你的頭髮真香"（Cuomo 2025, your hair smells real nice）。

Cuomo's lead in the polls has recently tightened over one of my guests tonight, State Assemblyman Zoran Mamdani.

最近，科莫在民調中的領先優勢已經超過了我今晚的嘉賓之一，州眾議員佐蘭-馬姆達尼（Zoran Mamdani）。

Mamdani is a Democratic socialist who has promised to freeze rent and make buses free citywide.

馬姆達尼是一位民主社會主義者，曾承諾凍結房租並在全市範圍內免費提供公共汽車。

New Yorkers know there's no such thing as a free ride.

紐約人都知道，天下沒有免費的午餐。

People come from all over the world to this city just to pay $3 to sit next to the mystery puddle.

人們從世界各地來到這座城市，只為花 3 美元坐在神祕水坑旁。

Slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow.

慢、慢、慢、慢、慢、慢、慢、慢、慢、慢、慢、慢。

Before he got into politics, Mamdani used to moonlight as a rapper known as Mr. Cardamom.

在從政之前，馬姆達尼曾兼職說唱歌手，人稱 "豆蔻先生"。

Of course, all the best rappers have seasoning-inspired names.

當然，所有最優秀的說唱歌手都有受季節啟發而起的名字。

Mr. Cardamom, Ice Spice, and, of course, Old Dirty Nutmeg.

豆蔻先生"、"冰香料"，當然還有 "老髒肉豆蔻"。

Recently, Mamdani received the endorsement of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders.

最近，馬姆達尼獲得了眾議員亞歷山大-奧卡西奧-科爾特斯和參議員伯尼-桑德斯的支持。

I tell you, folks, I like this young man.

我告訴你們，夥計們，我喜歡這個年輕人。

I fight for the workers and I'm only getting louder.

我為工人而戰，而且我的聲音越來越大。

Gonna dunk your butt in a cup of corn chowder.

我要把你的屁股泡在一杯玉米濃湯裡。

The first third in third place is my other guest tonight, comptroller Brad Lander, who recently...

排在第三位的是我今晚的另一位嘉賓，主計長布拉德-蘭德，他最近...

Lander recently made national headlines when he was manhandled and detained by masked federal agents simply for trying to accompany an immigrant out of a courtroom.

蘭德最近成為全國頭條新聞，他僅僅因為試圖陪同一名移民離開法庭，就遭到蒙面聯邦特工的粗暴對待和拘留。

Lander is New York City's elected comptroller.

While he was in custody for hours, the city didn't have anyone in comptroll.

在他被拘留的幾個小時裡，市裡沒有任何人負責審計。

What... who was... who was... who was trolling all the comps.

誰......誰在......誰在......誰在所有的比賽中搗鬼。

我不知道......這是一個愚蠢的工作名稱。

Why are so many people running for the job?

為什麼有這麼多人競選這個職位？

Because New York City has adopted a system called ranked choice voting, where voters rank candidates in order of preference rather than pick just one.

因為紐約市採用的是一種名為 "排序選擇投票 "的系統，即選民按照喜好對候選人進行排序，而不是隻選一個。

Because voters can list multiple names on their ballot, candidates are telling the supporters who else to vote for.

因為選民可以在選票上列出多個名字，所以候選人會告訴支持者還應該投給誰。

So far in the race, my two guests tonight, Mamdani and Lander, have cross-endorsed each other, which I believe...

到目前為止，我今晚的兩位嘉賓馬姆達尼和蘭德在競選中相互交叉支持，我相信......

Mamdani and Lander, which I believe means when you vote for both of them, you can just use their celebrity couple name, Mamdander.

馬姆達尼和蘭德，我相信這意味著當你投票給他們兩人時，你可以直接使用他們的明星情侶名--馬姆達德。
