美國總統候選人辯論話題揭曉

The moderator of the first presidential debate next Monday has revealed the three topics to be discussed by presidential candidates Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump.

The debate will consist of two 15-minute segments for each of these three topics: America's direction, achieving prosperity and securing America.

Moderator Lester Holt, host of “NBC Nightly News,” will open each segment with a question, after which each candidate will have two minutes to respond. Candidates also will have the opportunity to respond to each other.

Third-Party candidates Jill Stein of the Green Party and Libertarian Gary Johnson were not invited to the debate because they did not reach the required threshold of support by averaging at least 15 percent in five public opinion polls the Commission on Presidential Debates selected last month.美國民主黨總統候選人希拉里·克林頓和共和黨總統候選人唐納德·川普下星期一將舉行首場辯論，辯論會主持人披露了辯論的三項話題。

這場辯論將分成三個話題，每項話題包含兩小節，每小節15分鐘。三項話題分別是：美國的方向、實現繁榮和保障美國安全。

辯論主持人、全國廣播公司夜間新聞(NBC Nightly News)主播萊斯特·霍爾特將用一道問題來爲每一小節開場，接下來，每位候選人將有兩分鐘的迴應時間。候選人還有機會彼此迴應。

第三黨候選人吉爾·斯泰因和加里·約翰遜沒有受邀參加辯論，因爲在總統辯論委員會上個月選擇參考的五項民調中，他們沒有達到15%民意支持率的最低門檻。
