1 /  Biden sweeps more primaries

拜登赢关键州选势如虹

Joe Biden decisively won Michigan's Democratic presidential primary on Tuesday. The former vice president's victory there, as well as in Missouri and in Mississippi, dealt a serious blow to his opponent Bernie Sanders, and substantially widened his path to the nomination. 

当地时间10日，美国前副总统乔·拜登在关键州密歇根州的民主党初选中获胜，除了密歇根州以外，拜登还拿下了密苏里州和密西西比州，给了对手伯尼·桑德斯沉重一击。至此拜登朝着成为总统提名人又前进了一大步。

Biden again showed strength with working-class voters and African Americans, who are vital to winning the Democratic nomination. Guy Cecil, chairman of the Democratic political organization Priorities USA, tweeted: "The math is now clear. Joe Biden is going to be the Democratic nominee for president and @prioritiesUSA is going to do everything we can to help him defeat Donald Trump in November."

拜登再次展现了他在工薪阶层和非洲裔选民中的影响力，而这些人对于赢得民主党提名至关重要。最具影响力的民主党外部政治组织"优先美国行动"主席盖伊·塞西尔在推特上发文表示，目前的形势已经很清晰了，拜登将成为民主党总统提名人，"优先美国行动"将竭尽所能帮助他在11月打败特朗普。

Wu Yu, a nurse in the third medical team dispatched to Wuhan from Xiangya Hospital, Hunan, didn't expect her wish would come true so soon. On the eve of International Women's Day, she made a special wish during an on-camera interview, hoping Argentinian superstar footballer Lionel Messi could send her 8-year-old son a jersey.
