NBC晚间新闻 美国中期选举投票人数激增

（单词翻译）

The words we are pretty sure you did not hear yesterday were low voter turnout. No, Americans went to the polls¹ in astounding² numbers Tuesday. People proudly displayed their voting stickers and posted it online. Voting, that gift from the founders³, that audacious experiment in Representative Government, was trending.

Where stickers ran out, people created their own. They were not going to be seen in public without a sign with their participation⁴. People used to say, if you don't vote, you don't have a right to complain. This year it felt more like I voted by golly and I'm having my say.

我们很确定你昨天没有听到的是低投票率。美国人周二参加投票的人数惊人。人们自豪地展示他们的投票贴纸并把它贴在网上。投票，是开国元勋的赠礼，是代议制政府中进行的大胆试验，正薪火相传。贴纸用光，人们就自己做贴纸。一定要有他们自己的发挥，贴纸才会在公共场合出现。人们常说，如果你不投票，你就没有权利抱怨。今年感觉更像是，我真的投票了，我有发言权。
