President Barack Obama told Donald Trump on Tuesday to “stop whining” about the possibility of voter fraud in November’s US election, as the Republican nominee continued to claim that the race was “rigged”.

美国总统巴拉克•奥巴马(Barack Obama)在周二告诉唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)“停止抱怨”美国11月大选可能存在舞弊，目前共和党总统候选人持续声称此次大选受到“操纵”。

Both Democrats and Republicans worry that Mr Trump’s comments might undermine voters’ trust in the integrity of the American electoral system and lead to unrest at polling stations, or calls for a recount if Mr Trump loses.

民主党人和共和党人都担心特朗普的言论可能破坏选民对美国选举制度诚信的信任，并导致投票站出现骚动，他们还担心如果特朗普落败，他会要求重新计票。

“There is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America’s elections, in part because they’re so decentralised and the number of votes involved,” Mr Obama said during a White House press conference with Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi.

奥巴马在白宫记者会上表示：“凡是严肃的人都不会暗示有人能操纵美国大选，这部分缘于选举的分散性，以及参与投票的选民数量。”意大利总理马泰奥•伦齐(Matteo Renzi)也出席了此次记者会。

“There’s no evidence that that has happened in the past or that there are instances in which that will happen this time. And so, I’d advise Mr Trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes.”

“没有证据表明这种情况在过去发生过，也没有实例证明此次就会发生。所以我建议特朗普停止抱怨，而是用自己的政见来争取选票。”

Mr Trump’s claims of potential voter fraud comes as the Republican nominee continues to falter in the polls following allegations from multiple women that he had forcefully kissed or groped them, something he boasted of doing in a 2005 video.

在特朗普声称此次选举可能存在舞弊现象的同时，随着多名妇女指控他曾强迫亲吻或抚摸她们，这位共和党总统候选人的民调支持率一路下滑。

Since the video emerged on October 7, Mr Trump’s favourability rating has tumbled by 6 percentage points, according to an average of Real Clear Politics polls.

自一段旧视频于10月7日公开以来，据Real Clear Politics平均民调显示，特朗普支持率下降了6个百分点。
