法國總統大選保守黨派初選前總理菲永領先
Former French Prime Minister Francois Fillon appears to be on his way to winning Sunday's conservative party presidential primary.
法國前總理弗朗索瓦∙菲永看來將獲得星期天舉行的總統大選保守黨初選。
Early returns give Fillon 44 percent of the vote, followed by ex-Prime Minister Alain Juppe with 28 percent and former President Nicolas Sarkozy with 21 percent. If those results hold up, Fillon and Juppe will meet in a runoff next Sunday and the winner will be the conservative candidate for president next year.
初步投票結果顯示，菲永獲得44%的選票，前總理阿蘭∙朱佩獲得28%的選票，前總統薩科齊得票率21%。按照目前的趨勢，菲永和朱佩將在下星期天舉行決選，獲勝者將代表保守派參加明年的總統大選。
Sarkozy has already conceded defeat and says he will throw his support behind Fillon.
前總統薩科齊已經承認敗選，並且轉而支持菲永。
This is the first time conservative voters directly chose a presidential candidate. Until now, party leaders picked the contender. The campaign was marked by concerns about the influx of migrants into Europe and the devastating series of jihadist attacks in France.
這次是法國保守派選民第一次直接投票選舉候選人，過去一直是由黨內領導人任命。選舉中，選民關心的議題包括移民大量涌入歐洲以及極端組織在法國發動的一連串恐怖襲擊。
After Britain's shock "Brexit" vote and Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential contest, the French presidential vote is taking shape to be another test between mainstream parties and rising populist forces.
英國選民投票脫歐以及川普當選美國總統後，法國大選也可能成爲一次主流政黨和日益上升的民粹主義力量之間的較量。
