Zohran Mamdani defeated a Republican, a fellow Democrat, and an army of billionaires when he emerged victorious in the New York City mayoral election on Tuesday. 周二，Zohran Mamdani 在纽约市市长选举中获胜，他击败了一位共和党人、一位民主党同僚以及一大批亿万富翁。 Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, will be the first Muslim to ever hold the position, and the youngest mayor in over a century. 自称民主社会主义者的曼达尼将成为纽约市历史上首位穆斯林市长，也是一个多世纪以来最年轻的市长。 The 34-year-old campaigned during a time of rising financial insecurity on making the city more affordable for most of the city’s residents through rent freezes, free buses and universal childcare. To pay for those policies, he promised a modest tax increase for New York City’s millionaires and a rise in the corporate tax rate. 这位 34岁的候选人在金融不安全感上升的时期进行竞选，承诺通过冻结租金、提供免费公交和普遍托儿服务让城市对大多数居民更负担得起。为支付这些政策，他承诺对纽约市的百万富翁略增税，并提高企业税率。 Spooked by the prospect of paying slightly higher taxes, and by his often-repeated belief that billionaires shouldn’t exist, more than 20 billionaires pulled out their checkbooks to stop Mamdani from becoming mayor of the United States’ most populous city, beginning during the Democratic primary campaign, when he faced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for the first time. 由于担心稍高的税收，以及他经常强调亿万富翁不应存在的观点，超过20位亿万富翁动用财力阻止曼达尼成为美国人口最多城市的市长，这一行动始于民主党初选期间，当时他首次面对前纽约州州长安德鲁·科莫。 Most of the money was poured into three main super PACs, both pro-Cuomo and anti-Mamdani. Fix the City, the PAC supporting Cuomo’s bid since the primary, spent millions on television ads for the former mayor and against Mamdani. Anti-Mamdani PACs Defend NYC—started by former advisor to President Donald Trump, Jason Meister—and For Our City, have also taken in giant sums from billionaire donors like former mayor Michael Bloomberg and hedge fund manager Bill Ackman. 大部分资金流入了三个主要的超级政治行动委员会（PAC），既支持科莫，也反对曼达尼达尼。支持科莫的Fix the City自初选以来在电视广告上花费数百万，为前市长造势并攻击曼达尼。反曼达尼的PAC如Defend NYC——由特朗普前顾问Jason Meister发起——以及For Our City，也从亿万富翁捐助者那里筹集了巨额资金，如前市长迈克尔·布隆伯格和对冲基金经理比尔·阿克曼。 During his campaign, Mamdani often remarked on the huge amounts of money being spent to defeat him. 在竞选期间，曼达尼经常提到用来击败他的巨额资金。 “They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,” he said in an interview with MSNBC last week. 他在上周接受MSNBC采访时表示：“他们花的钱比我对他们征税的还要多。” He also agreed with the billionaires that his agenda posed a threat to their power. 他也认同亿万富翁们的看法，认为他的政策议程确实对他们的权力构成威胁。 "Billionaires like Bill Ackman and Ronald Lauder have poured millions of dollars into this race because they say that we pose an existential threat," Mamdani said at an Oct. 13 rally. "And I am here to admit something. They are right. We are an existential threat to billionaires who think their money can buy our democracy.” 曼达尼在10月13日的一场集会上说：“像比尔·阿克曼和罗纳德·劳德这样的亿万富翁向这场选举投入了数百万美元，因为他们认为我们对他们构成生存威胁。我在这里承认，他们是对的。对于那些认为金钱能买到我们民主的亿万富翁来说，我们确实是生存威胁。” Here are some of the billionaires who tried to thwart Mamdani’s campaign. 以下是一些试图阻挠曼达尼达尼竞选的亿万富翁。 1、前纽约市长迈克尔·布隆伯格豪掷 1330 万美元 图片 Bloomberg, former three-term mayor of New York City and cofounder of Bloomberg L.P., now reportedly worth over $100 billion, gave $5 million to Cuomo’s Fix the City in the final month of the campaign, adding on top of more than $8 million in support of Cuomo during the Democratic primary. 布隆伯格，纽约市前三届市长、彭博公司联合创始人，据称现身价超过1000亿美元，在竞选最后一个月向科莫的Fix the City捐赠了 500万美元，加上初选期间对科莫的支持超过 800万美元。 Bloomberg and Mamdani met for the first time in September, a meeting that Howard Wolfson, a political adviser to Bloomberg, told the New York Times was “definitely cordial” and “substantive.” 布隆伯格与曼达尼在九月首次会面，据布隆伯格的政治顾问霍华德·沃尔夫森告诉《纽约时报》，这次会面“绝对友好”且“有实质性内容”。 Still, Bloomberg reaffirmed his endorsement of Cuomo in late October. 尽管如此，布隆伯格在十月下旬仍重申支持科莫。 2、雅诗兰黛的劳德家族豪掷 260万美元 Ronald Lauder, son of cosmetics innovator Estée Lauder, donated $750,000 in September, followed by another $250,000 in October to Fix the City.
