Lula was president from 2003 to 2010 and later spent 580 days in prison on corruption convictions, which were annulled by Brazil's Supreme Court in 2021. He went on to defeat then-president Jair Bolsonaro — Flavio Bolsonaro's father — who was convicted and jailed on charges of orchestrating a coup.
卢拉 2003 年至 2010 年担任巴西总统，后来因贪腐定罪入狱 580 天，该判决于 2021 年被巴西联邦最高法院撤销。他随后击败时任总统雅伊尔・博索纳罗，也就是弗拉维奥・博索纳罗的父亲；雅伊尔・博索纳罗因策划政变的罪名成立而入狱。
Bolsonaro headed into the final ballot as the front-runner, having won 47.03 percent of the vote to 45.16 percent for Lula in the first round of voting this month. Since neither candidate secured a majority of votes, a runoff was held on Sunday.
博索纳罗在首轮投票中以 47.03% 对卢拉 45.16% 的得票率领先，以领跑者身份进入最终投票。由于两名候选人均未拿到过半数选票，周日举行了第二轮决选。

In images similar to President Javier Milei of Argentina, who often posed with a chainsaw to symbolize cutting government waste, Bolsonaro branded a pair of giant scissors as he promised $40 billion in cuts to public spending.
阿根廷总统哈维尔・米莱经常手持链锯出镜，象征削减政府冗余开支；和这一形象类似，博索纳罗亮出一把巨型剪刀，承诺削减 400 亿美元公共开支。
Under Lula, Brazil managed to withstand many of the effects of US President Donald Trump's tariffs, and unemployment remained low, but the population was unhappy with rising food prices and household debts.
卢拉执政时期，巴西顶住了美国总统唐纳德・特朗普加征关税带来的诸多冲击，失业率维持在低位，但民众对食品涨价和家庭债务问题感到不满。

Javier Milei was among the first to start the rightward shift by winning the presidency in Argentina in December 2023.
哈维尔・米莱是这波右转浪潮的先行者之一，他于 2023 年 12 月当选阿根廷总统。
