Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and his alliesretained a slim working majority Monday in the lowerhouse of Congress following mid-term elections.

墨西哥星期一举行了议会下院选举，涅托总统及其盟友在中期选举后，继续在议会掌握得以维持运作的微弱多数。

The run-up to Sunday's poll was marked byviolence, with drug cartels blamed for the deaths ofseveral candidates.

星期日举行选举之前发生了暴力事件，据称几名候选人死于贩毒集团之手。

 

 

Mid-term elections usually draw a light turnout, but attention was unusually high this time as aloose coalition of radical teachers' unions and activists vowed to block the vote.

选民们在中期选举中通常投票并不踊跃，但由于持激进立场的教师工会和活动人士组成一个松散的联盟，誓言抵制选举，所以人们对这次中期选举表现出不同寻常的关注。

The teachers' demands included huge wage increases, an end to teacher testing and the safereturn of 42 missing students from a radical teachers' college.

教师们要求大幅加薪、停止进行教师考试，并要求保证一所激进的师范学院的42名失踪学生的安全。

Those students disappeared in September, and prosecutors say they were killed and incineratedby a drug gang. Only one student's remains were identified by DNA testing.

这些学生于去年9月失踪，检察官说，一个贩毒团伙已把他们杀害，并焚化了尸体。经DNA检测，只辨认出一名学生的尸体。
