中新网评：美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾******

　　中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后，美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕，众议院共和党领袖凯文·麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录，将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。

　　由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素，众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中，美国民主党议员继续抱团，多轮投票中，一票不投麦卡锡，共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。

　　麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折，除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外，与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。

　　一方面，共和党党内反对者认为，麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱，无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府，另一方面，因为共和党的多数优势微弱，党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大，有利于他们巩固自己的选票。

　　此外，党内反对者也认为，自己的选票没有换取更多利益，希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步，比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。

　　作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物，众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任，选举几乎没有悬念。然而，麦卡锡此次为当选，不得不做出多个关键让步，其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制，使得众议长的权力被削弱，难以掌控众议院。

　　美国有线电视新闻网CNN称，麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步，这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。

　　这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下，党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上，美国两党相互拆台，陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内，也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系，相互对抗，选票变成了谋利益的工具。

　　从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举，“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈，长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力，其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。

　　两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病，美国所谓的“民主”形象，让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举，变成了政客们利益置换的游戏，进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能，不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。

　　House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy

　　(ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy".

　　The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader.

　　Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party.

　　On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration.

　　On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses.

　　Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees.

　　As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives.

　　But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker.

　　CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful.

　　This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally.

　　Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits.

　　From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public.

　　Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world.

　　The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.

“天才翻译家”金晓宇的父亲离世 遗体已联系捐赠******

　　中新网杭州1月18日电(张煜欢 钱晨菲)记者从杭州市中医院获悉，1月18日下午，“天才翻译家”金晓宇的父亲金性勇在该院辞世。记者还从浙江省红十字会了解到，浙江省红十字会人体器官捐献管理中心接到电话后，第一时间协调联系，已经帮助金晓宇父亲完成遗体、眼组织捐献的心愿。

　　去年初，当“躁郁症儿子成为‘天才翻译家’”的故事在互联网刷屏，诸多人感动并好奇于这家人背后的故事，这对杭州父子在媒体报道中开始广为人知。去年1月，中新网记者曾与这对父子面对面，倾听他们过去几十年的别样人生。

　　金性勇夫妻大学毕业后同分配到天津工作，在1972年生下小儿子金晓宇。孩子五六岁时，被同伴用玩具枪射出的针打碎了左眼晶体，瞎了一只眼睛。后来，原本成绩不错的金晓宇在高中时突然厌学，并“性情大变”有了暴力倾向。后被诊断为躁狂抑郁症(躁郁症)，即双相情感障碍。

　　后来，金性勇夫妻俩带着金晓宇回到了杭州。金性勇在接受采访时曾告诉记者，那时给儿子买了英语、日语、围棋、音乐等方面两百多本书籍。为了让儿子生活更充实，他还在1993年花了一万多元买了台电脑。

　　再后来，便是“天才译者”的诞生故事了。金晓宇自学掌握了多门外语，开启翻译生涯。

　　但令记者印象最深刻的，仍是金性勇对儿子无微不至的照顾。这位老人几十年如一日地负责收外文样稿，买资料书，打印、寄出校稿等工作……但他从不以自己多年的苦心自居，其最惯常提在嘴边的，始终是儿子的翻译事业。

　　金性勇生前接受记者采访时说：“我常在想，虽然我是五六十年前的大学生，看起来很难得，但能留下的实实在在的回忆并不多。而晓宇翻译的这些书，是永远可以摆在这里的，以后的人也会读到。这是最令我宽慰的事情。”

　　老人一个人的宽慰，也逐渐成了一群人的共识。在社会各界的关心关爱之下，一年来，金晓宇与父亲的生活也发生了不少的变化。在父亲和多方的积极帮助下，金晓宇逐渐打开自己迎来了新的生活，其继续着翻译事业的同时认识了更多朋友，进一步融入了这个社会。

　　金性勇生前最后的愿望便是捐赠自己的遗体。在记者看来，这也表达着老人对这个社会最后一份珍贵谢意。

　　金性勇生前接受采访时对记者如是说：“我当然有想过，为什么我曾经这么苦？后来我就想，要把自己的心放平，真正做到一颗平常心——得到的东西就是得到的，谁也抢不走；失去的东西就不要去可惜它，那不是你的。”(完)
