中英双语新闻 特朗普有望与希拉里终极对决

Ted¹ Cruz has pulled out the race for the US presidency² clearing the way for Donald Trump³ to become the Republican Party's nominee⁴. Mr. Cruz made the announcement shortly after became clear that he’d lost the state primary in Indiana. Mr. Cruz told supporters he gave the campaign everything he had. From the beginning, I've said that I would continue on as long as there was a viable⁵ pass to victory. Tonight, I am sorry to say it appears that pass has been full-closed and so with a heavy heart, we are suspending our campaign. At a victory rally, Donald Trump paid tribute to the Texas senator despite trending insult with Mr.Cruz hours earlier. We have a tremendous victory tonight, it was a tremendous victory. Ted Cruz, I don't know if he likes me or he doesn't like me, but he is one hell of competitor. He is a tough, smart guy and he has got an amazing future. Donald Trump said his aim was now to defeat the Democratic Party front-runner Hillary Clinton in November. Here is our North America editor Jon Sopel. A massive victory declared Donald Trump and for once the billionaire showman wasn't engaging in hype, a property tycoon⁶, who never held any elected office, is now borrowing something totally unforeseen, the Republican nominee for the presidential election in November. It's been a brutal⁷ bare knuckle⁸ fight with a lot of harsh words traded. Now Mr. Trump must build bridges and try to unite the Republican Party behind him. That will be no easy task. In the Democratic Party primary in Indiana, Bernie Sanders has narrowly beaten Hillary Clinton. The result does little to affect Mrs. Clinton's lead in the overall race and she remains⁹ the clear front-runner to secure her party's nomination¹⁰.
