Indonesia's Electoral Commission has declared the Democrat Party of incumbent President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono the winner of last month's parliamentary polls. The widely predicted results places President Yudhoyono's party well ahead of its nearest rivals. But no one party has been able to achieve the necessary numbers to nominate a Presidential candidate.
印尼选举委员会宣布，现任总统、民主党苏西洛赢得上个月的印尼国会选举。选举结果显示，苏西洛总统的政党远远超过其实力最接近的对手，人们普遍预测会是这样的选举结果。但是，这次大选中没有一个政党获得足够的多数票，从而可以提名总统候选人。
After weeks of protests and criticism over their handling of the elections, Indonesia's Electoral Commission fulfilled its commitment to deliver the official count one month after the polls.
经过对选举处理方式进行了数周的抗议和批评之后，印尼选举委员会履行其承诺，在选举进行了一个月之后公布了官方统计结果。
The Democrat Party of current President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, or SBY as he is popularly known, was the clear winner with almost 21 percent of the vote. The result is a significant victory for the young party, almost tripling the number it received in 2004.
民主党现任总统苏西洛是明显的赢家，几乎获得21%的选票。选举标志着这个年轻政党所取得的一个重大的胜利，所获选票几乎是2004年时的3倍。
Traditional political heavyweight the Golkar Party, which was once the vehicle of former dictator Suharto, came in second with 14.45 percent of the votes, while the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle of former president Megawati Sukarnpoputri slipped behind with just over 14 percent.
传统的政治重量级政党--专业集团党曾经是前独裁者苏哈托的政党，在此次选举中退居第二位，获得14.45%的选票。由前总统梅加瓦蒂领导的印尼民主斗争党滑落到第三位，获得刚刚超过14%的选票。
Parties or coalitions must win 25 percent of the popular vote in order to field a candidate in the Presidential elections scheduled for early July. This means that all the parties will have to form a coalition in order to contest the top-job.
政党或政党联盟必须赢得25%的选票才有资格提名总统候选人参加定于7月上旬举行的选举，换句话说，各党派必须结盟才有资格竞争印尼最高职务的宝座。
Back-room negotiations between parties have been ongoing, providing daily material for local news media since the polls were concluded. The Golkar party has announced that current Vice President and party chairman Jusef Kalla will be running for the post with former military General Wiranto as his vice-presidential partner.
有关政党之间的谈判已经在密室中进行，为当地新闻媒体每天提供了选后的报导素材。专业集团党宣布这个党的总主席、现任副总统卡拉将与前武装部队司令维兰托领导的民心党搭配，竞选正副总统。
But the party remains divided over the decision and there is speculation that Golkar could also offer a vice-presidential candidate to run with President Yudohoyono.
Stephen Sherlock, a Southeast Asian political expert and consultant to the Australian government, says Golkar's options are limited.
不过，党内对这一决定仍然存在分歧，有传言说，印尼专业集团党可能以副总统候选人的身份与现任总统总统苏西洛搭配竞选。斯蒂芬福尔摩斯是东南亚政治专家和澳大利亚政府的顾问。他说，专业集团党的选择是有限的。
"Well they're obviously in a difficult position in that they've first of all done so poorly under Kalla's leadership," he said. "So usually in those circumstance usually political parties start asking questions about whether or not it was the fault of the leader and the leader comes under pressure to be removed from his position possibly. But the problem is they don't have anybody who can replace him."
福尔摩斯说：“他们很显然处于一个困难的境地。首先这个党在卡拉的领导下表现不佳。所以通常在这些情况下，政党开始会质询领导人的错误，而党的领导者则面临很大的可能被迫下台的压力。但问题是，这个党还找不出任何人可以代替他。”
Megawati Sukarnoputri also intends to run again but has yet to announce her vice-presidential mate. Incumbent Yudohoyono may choose to cut ties with the Golkar party, perhaps partnering with the Islamist Prosperous Justice Party or PKS, which won 7.88 percent of the vote. The PKS has already declared its intention to support President Yudohoyono's candidacy.
梅加瓦蒂也表示要重新出山，但目前尚未宣布其副总统竞选搭档。现任总统苏西洛可能会切断与专业集团党的联系，或许与伊斯兰公正福利党结盟。这个党获得7.88%的选票。伊斯兰公正福利党已经宣布计划支持总统苏西洛的候选资格。
Stephen Sherlock says a presidential partnership with the PKS would not be good for Indonesia's long-term political development.
福尔摩斯说，与伊斯兰公正福利党结盟参加总统竞选不利于印尼的长期政治发展。
"It would be dangerous for the longer term future of Indonesia for a party like PKS with its Islamist agenda to be brought into the fold in that way," said Sherlock. "He would have, I think, a difficult relationship with a Vice-President from PKS. But in the immediate term well yes there are arguments for it, from his point of view.
福尔摩斯说：“对印度尼西亚长远的发展来说，一个有伊斯兰议程的党以如此方式跻身印尼政坛，这是相当危险的。我认为，他将很难与一个伊斯兰公正福利党副总统搞好关系。但在短期内，从他的角度来看，这样做也有理由。”
According to the Electoral Commission 121 million out of 171 million eligible voters cast a ballot in the polls. However more 17 million votes were declared invalid.
根据选举委员会公布的数字，参加印尼国会选举的合法选民为1亿7100万人，只有1亿2100万人参加了投票，有1700万张选票被宣布无效。 |
