The total number of ballotscastso far represents almost 20% of the more than 136 million total ballots cast in the 2016 presidential election, according to CNN's Political Unit. Some voter information comes from Catalist, a company that provides data, analytics and other services to Democrats, academics and nonprofit issue-advocacy organizations and is giving new insights into who is voting before November.

翻譯劃線句，在文末留言框內打卡，答案下期公布~一些選民信息來自Catalist公司，這家公司為民主黨人、學者和非營利問題倡導組織提供數據、分析和其他服務，現在對11月前誰將參加投票提供了新的看法。
But while the eye-popping totals make clear that Americans are voting earlier, it is much harder to make predictions about what that will mean in terms of who will win. It is possible for data firms to determine the party affiliation ofabsentee ballotsrequested in certain states and Democrats are hopeful the data suggests tremendous support for Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

但是，儘管驚人的投票數清楚地表明美國人提前投了票，但就預測誰將贏得選舉而言，就困難得多了。數據公司有可能應某些州的要求，確定缺席選票（可通過郵寄寄出）中的黨派關係，民主黨人希望數據可以顯示出民主黨提名人喬·拜登獲得了巨大的支持。
The obvious asterisk to place here is that President Donald Trump haswagedrhetorical war on mail-in voting this year. Polls suggest Republicans are less likely than Democrats to vote by mail, so the Democratic advantage in swing state ballot requests is interesting, but not predictive of anything.
▼
值得注意的是，美國總統/唐XX·特XX今年對郵寄投票展開了罵戰。民意調查顯示，與民主黨人相比，共和黨人更不願意通過郵寄的方式投票，所以民主黨在搖擺州的選票請求中佔據優勢，但這也並不能預示任何結果。
"The issue is that we really don't know the extent to which the early vote will be more Democratic-leaning than the overalltally," CNN's Harry Enten wrote over the weekend.
▼
「問題是，我們真的不知道提前投票比總體計票更傾向於民主黨的程度」CNN的哈裡·恩滕在周末寫道。
While the large amount of early in-person voting should make determining a winner easier in some states, the differing rules about when mail-in votes can be received -- about half of states will accept votes postmarked on November 3 for days or even weeks after Election Day -- coulddragtheprocessout in those states.
▼
雖然在一些州，大量的提前親自投票應該會使確定獲勝者變得更容易，但關於何時可以收到郵寄選票的差別規定——大約一半的州將在選舉日之後幾天甚至幾周內接受標有11月3日郵戳的選票——可能會拖長這些州的投票進程。
