川普週五公佈副總統競選搭檔大綱

Presumptive Republican U.S. presidential nominee Donald Trump is narrowing his choice for vice president and plans to make the pick public on Friday.

共和黨推定總統候選人川普正在縮小他的副總統候選人競選搭檔人選，計劃星期五公佈。

Trump said on Twitter that he would make his announcement at 11 a.m. Friday in New York.

川普發推特說，他計劃星期五上午11點在紐約宣佈。

Among the likely choices are Indiana Governor Mike Pence, who appeared at a fundraising event with Trump on Tuesday, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich or New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Christie, once a Republican candidate rival of Trump, threw his support behind the billionaire businessman after dropping out of the race earlier this year.

可能的人選包括星期二在競選籌款活動中爲川普站臺的印第安納州州長麥克∙彭斯，前國會衆議院議長金裏奇，以及新澤西州州長克里斯蒂。克里斯蒂本人最初也曾參加共和黨的總統初選，今年早些時候退出選舉後宣佈支持川普。

Several news media say the race is between Pence and Gingrich. The Republican National Convention will be held next week (July 18-21) in Cleveland.

一些媒體說，川普的“副手”應該是在彭斯或金裏奇兩人中產生。共和黨全國代表大會定於7月18日到21日在克利夫蘭召開。

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton also is interviewing potential vice presidential picks. She is expected to announce her choice next week.

在民主黨方面，推定總統候選人希拉里∙克林頓也在挑選副總統搭檔，預計下星期宣佈。

The Democratic National Convention takes place July 25-28 in Philadelphia.

民主黨全國代表大會定於7月25日到28日在費城舉行。
