导读:1月20日川普即将宣誓就任成为美国总统，但是据美国盖洛普公司最近的一项民调显示，仍然有超过50%的美国人对川普的能力表示质疑。
As Donald Trump prepares to take the U.S. presidential oath on Jan. 20, over half of Americans are skeptical about his ability to handle an international crisis, to use military force wisely or to prevent major scandals in his administration, according to a new poll released on Monday.
据本周一公布的一项最新民调显示，随着川普准备在1月20日宣誓就职成为美国总统，超过半数的美国人对其在处理国际危机、明智地使用武力、防止执政期间出现重大丑闻方面的能力持怀疑态度。
In comparison, at least seven in 10 Americans were confident in Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton in these areas before they took office, says a Gallup poll.
然而据盖普洛一份民调显示，在奥巴马、小布什和克林顿上台执政之前，至少70%的美国人在这方面对他们有信心。
Forty-six percent of poll respondents are confident Trump can handle an international crisis, 47 percent believe he will use military force wisely, while 44 percent think he can prevent major scandals in his administration, the poll shows.
据民调显示，46%的受访者相信川普可以处理国际危机，47%的人相信他可以明智地使用武力，44%的人认为他在执政期间可以防止出现重大丑闻。
However, Americans express somewhat more confidence in Trump to work effectively with Congress (60 percent), to handle the economy effectively (59 percent), to defend U.S. interests abroad as president (55 percent), and to manage the executive branch effectively (53 percent), said Jeffrey M. Jones, a poll analyst with the Gallup.
然而据盖普洛民调分析师杰佛里·琼斯表示说，美国人略微更加相信川普可以和国会有效地合作（60%），可以有效地管理经济（59%），作为总统可以维护美国的海外利益（55%），可以有效地管理行政部门（53%）。
But even in these areas, Americans are far less confident in Trump than they were in his predecessors, Jones said.
但是琼斯表示说，即使在这些领域中，美国人对川普的信心也要比对他前任的信心小得多。
The results for Trump are based on a Dec. 7-11 Gallup poll conducted via telephone interviews, with a random sample of 1,028 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the district of Columbia.
有关川普的这一统计结果是基于盖洛普12月7日到11日期间的一场电话采访民调，随机在美国50个州和哥伦比亚特区抽取了1028位18岁及以上的成年人。
The poll results are consistent with prior Gallup polling showing Trump having a much lower favourable rating than prior presidents-elect and a much lower approval rating for how he has handled his presidential transition.
这次的调查结果和盖洛普之前的民调相一致，之前的民调显示相比于之前的当选总统，川普的支持率要低得多；而对川普如何进行总统权力过渡的评价也要低得多。
