Two months before general elections, Spain’s new anti-austerity party Podemos appears to be running out of steam, hit by political setbacks and a slump in opinion polls.
大選前兩個月，西班牙的新興反撙節政黨「我們可以」遭到政治挫敗及民調下滑衝擊，看來正失去動能。
Pablo Iglesias, the pony-tailed academic who leads the party, appeared tired and hesitant on Sunday during a televised debate with Albert Rivera who heads the new centre-right Ciudadanos, adding to the sense that Podemos has lost momentum.
領導該黨、綁著馬尾的學者帕布羅．伊格雷西亞斯，在週日電視轉播的辯論會上，與新興中間偏右政黨「公民黨」黨魁亞伯特．李維拉辯論時，顯得疲倦又結結巴巴，更讓人覺得「我們可以黨」氣勢已失。
In a country where almost a quarter of workers are unemployed, a pledge to restore the welfare state helped catapult it to the top of opinion polls in January 2015 with the party seen winning as much as 28 percent of the vote.
在一個將近4分之1勞動人口沒有工作的國家，這個政黨憑藉要恢復這個福利國家的承諾，在2015年1月民調支持度躍居第一，被看好能贏得多達28％的選票。
But a poll published earlier this month showed its star appears to have waned with Podemos slumping to the fourth place with 14.1 percent support, behind the main opposition Socialists, the ruling conservative Popular Party and Ciudadanos.
但本月稍早發表的一份民調顯示，該黨明星光環顯然已經褪色，支持度14.1％掉到第4名，落後主要反對黨「社會黨」、執政的保守派「人民黨」及公民黨。
"Podemos had an absolutely disproportionate boom after the European elections," Jacobo Rivero, the author of two books on Podemos, told AFP.
「我們可以黨在歐洲議會選舉後有過一段完全不成比例的興盛期」，寫過2本書探討我們可以黨的作家李維洛向法新社說。
This "wave of success" hid a growing "disconnect with its base" due in part to its reluctance to merge with other leftwing parties, he added.（AFP）
這波「成功浪潮」掩蓋了「與其基本盤愈加脫節」，部分原因是該黨對於與其他左翼政黨合併躊躇不前，他補充說道。
