Bill de Blasio is the first Democrat to win the job of New York Mayor in two decades. The Liberal Democrat will succeed Michael Bloomberg on a pledge to bring the two New Yorks of rich and poor closer together.
白思豪(Bill De Blasio)是二十年来赢得纽约市长一职的首位民主党人。这位自由民主党人将接替迈克尔?彭博(Michael Bloomberg)，承诺拉近纽约富人和穷人之间的差距。
(SOUNDBITE)(English) BILL DE BLASIO, NEW YORK MAYOR-ELECT, SAYING: "Our greatness is not accidental, but neither is it inevitable. To maintain that greatness and to ensure that our brightest days are ahead of us we must commit ourselves to progressive ideas that will lift us all up."
纽约当选市长白思豪(Bill De Blasio)：“我们的伟大不是偶然的，但也不是必然发生的。为了保持这种伟大之处，确保能够迎接最光辉灿烂的明天，我们必须坚守那些激励我们前行的创造性思维。”
Despite a decisive win de Blasio has his work cut out. New York's facing a budget gap of $2.2 billion dollars in the next financial year, and retroactive public sector pay rise demands that could cost up to $8 billion.
尽管取得了决定性的胜利，白思豪的一些工作也必须进行削减。下一个财政年，纽约面临22亿美元的财政缺口，而公共部门的加薪要求将耗费80亿美元。
