(CNN) Astonishing new evidence of a desperate President Donald Trump caught on tape trying to steal the election exposes the depth of his corruption and makes his Republican Capitol Hill allies complicit in his bid to thwart the will of voters.

In a fresh abuse of power, Trump tried to bully a top Georgia GOP official into finding votes to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's win in the state. The staggering telephone call, audio of which was obtained by CNN and first reported by the Washington Post, amounted to the most serious threat yet posed by his authoritarian instincts to American democracy.

complicit adj.同谋的; 串通的

thwart v.阻挠; 挫败

staggering adj.令人震惊的

authoritarian adj.独裁的

一段曝光的电话录音披露，绝望的特朗普总统曾试图窃据选举结果，这一证据暴露出他的腐败程度之深，以及他如何唆使共和党议员沆瀣一气阻挠选民意愿。

这是又一次的权力滥用，特朗普曾胁迫乔治亚州一名高级共和党官员寻找选票，试图推翻拜登在该州胜利的结果。该事件由华盛顿邮报首先报道，CNN已拿到这段令人震惊的电话录音，堪称特朗普独裁本能对美国民主造成的迄今最严重的一次威胁。

'I just want to find ... votes'

The release of the stunning telephone conversation between Trump and Georgia's GOP Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger escalated the constitutional crisis Trump started stoking even before his election loss.

"So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state," Trump said, in a comment that at best was an abuse of power and that could raise legal questions. Throughout the hour-long call, the President repeatedly prods Raffensperger to agree to his false claims that thousands of votes were illegally cast, that some ballots were destroyed or came from dead people or out-of-state voters. The Georgia secretary of state tells the President that he has false information.

stunning adj.令人震惊的

特朗普与共和党乔治亚州州务卿布拉德·拉芬斯佩格（Brad Raffensperger）的通话录音的曝光，加剧了特朗普在选举失败前就已掀起的的宪法危机。

“听着，我只是想这样而已，我只是想找11780张选票，这样我们就多出一票了，因为是我们赢得了乔治亚州，”特朗普说，这番话往好了说也是滥用权力，可能会引发法律问题。特朗普认为有几千张非法选票，要么是一些选票被破坏了，要么是还有一些票来自死人或是州外人，在这段一个多小时的录音里，特朗普不断催促拉芬斯佩格同意他这些错误的看法。这位乔治亚州州务卿告诉特朗普他的消息来源有误。

A string of recounts, audits and legal cases have affirmed Biden's narrow victory in Georgia in November in one of the clutch of swing states he won on the way to 306 electoral votes and a clear victory over the President.

The tape recalled the kind of coercive, corrupt behavior that led to Trump's impeachment over a call with Ukraine's President, but that all Republican senators with the exception of Mitt Romney decided last year did not merit his ouster from office.

narrow victory 险胜

一系列的重新机票、审计稽核以及法律程序证实，拜登11月在乔治亚州险胜，该州为摇摆州之一，拜登以306张选票的明显优势赢过特朗普。

这段录音让人想起他与乌克兰总统的录音，那段通话导致特朗普遭弹劾，也是同样的强势和腐败行为，但去年除了米特·罗姆尼（Mitt Romney），其他的共和党参议员都不认为特朗普应该下台。

In the latest smoking gun call, Trump is heard trying to convince Raffensperger to announce that he had recalculated the vote totals and that the President won, and threatening criminal reprisals if his fellow Republican failed to act.

"At the very least it's an abuse of presidential power which in a normal time would be impeachable," said CNN presidential historian Timothy Naftali.

John Dean, a former White House legal counsel in the Watergate scandal, told CNN's Fredricka Whitfield Trump was at "the edges of extortion."

smoking gun 确凿证据

Ø The search for other kinds of evidence tying him to trafficking has not produced a smoking gun. 在其它方面还没有找到能证明他参与此非法交易的确凿证据。

reprisal n.报复

在这段确凿的录音证据里，特朗普试图说服拉芬斯佩格宣布经过重新计票，特朗普胜出，并威胁如果他不照做的话，将会遭到刑事报复。

“这最起码也是滥用总统权力，正常情况下是会遭到弹劾的。”CNN总统历史学家蒂莫西·纳夫塔利（Timothy Naftali）说。

曾在水门丑闻中担任白宫法律顾问约翰·迪安（John Dean）告诉CNN的弗雷德里卡·惠特菲尔德（Fredricka Whitfield），特朗普的行为处于“敲诈勒索的边缘”。

Biden's senior legal adviser Bob Bauer said in a statement that the tape offered "irrefutable proof of a president pressuring and threatening an official of his own party to get him to rescind a state's lawful, certified vote count and fabricate another in its place."

"It captures the whole, disgraceful story about Donald Trump's assault on American democracy."

rescind v.(政府或掌权团体)废除(法律或协议); 撤销

Ø The governor does not have the authority to rescind the ruling. 该州长无权撤销这项裁决。

拜登的高级法律顾问鲍勃·鲍尔（Bob Bauer）在一份声明中表示，这份录音是“无可辩驳的证据，证实了一位总统施压并威胁党派下官员，让其撤销该州合法认证的计票结果、捏造另一个结果取而代之。”

“这充分展现了特朗普攻击美国民主的整个的、无耻的故事。”
