11月8日是美国大选日，选民们这一天将前往投票站，选出美国下一任总统和国会代表。美国的选举制度可以说是相当复杂，涉及来自 50个州与特区的背景各异的选民，大家共同投票来决定国家的未来。其中，选民最为关注的议题之一无疑是经济，在此前的多次总统选举中，候选人在经济议题上的观点都扮演着极为重要的角色。本次美国大选系列讲座中，上海美国中心请来一位美国外交官，来为大家讲解经济和美国大选之间复杂而又重要的关系。

Americans across the United States will head to the polls on November 8 to vote for the country’s next President and many Congressional representatives.  Elections in the U.S. are complex, involving millions of citizens from varying backgrounds and 50 different states and municipalities casting their votes for the future of the nation.  One issue that looms large for U.S. voters is economic growth – which has played an over-sized role in many previous U.S. elections.  To help explain how  these issues affect U.S. elections, the Shanghai American Center is proud to host an American diplomat for a talk on the complex and important relationship between the economy and who voters may select to lead the nation for the next 4 years.
