背景阅读：

　　当地时间10月18日，奥巴马在与意大利总理伦齐举行联合记者会时还不忘捎带手痛批特朗普。

　　特朗普近来一直怒批选举过程，称大选作弊，许多不诚实的媒体助推，支持骗子希拉里，还指责选举被操纵。

　　针对特朗普的这番言论，奥巴马说：“在现代政治历史上，以及历届总统竞选人当中，我从未见过哪位候选人会贬低选举，在选民投票前就怀疑选举过程。这是史无前例的，(特朗普的怀疑)毫无依据。”

　　奥巴马表示，身为总统候选人，在大选日到来前就开始抱怨，已经说明了他是怎样的人，更没有资格承担“这份工作”。说到这里时，奥巴马还指了一下身后的椭圆办公室，并说到：“我建议特朗普停止发牢骚，还是试着去争取选民。”

　　不过他也表示，如果特朗普真的赢得了大选，还是会欢迎特朗普成为下届总统。

　　“如果他赢得了大多数选票，那么我期望希拉里会有一个有风度的败选演说，能与他(特朗普)共事，并承诺使美国民众能够从政府处获益。如果特朗普真的能赢到最后，那么不管他对我说过什么，不管我们的意见有多少分歧，我们都会完成权力的和平交接。”奥巴马表示。

　　President Barack Obama has said Republican Donald Trump's insistence that he might not accept the election result is "dangerous".

　　Speaking at a campaign rally in Miami for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, the president said Mr Trump's comments undermined American democracy.

　　Mr Trump refused in a televised debate to say he would accept the outcome of the election on 8 November.

　　He later said he would accept a "clear" result but left a challenge open.

　　Speaking in Ohio on Thursday, Mr Trump said, with a grin: "I would like to promise and pledge to all of my voters and supporters and to all of the people of the United States, that I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election - if I win."

　　In the same speech, he said he would accept a clear election result but reserved the right to file a legal challenge in the case of a questionable one.

　　Hours later, the president said that sowing the seeds of doubt in people's minds about the legitimacy of US elections provided a boost to the country's enemies.

　　legitimacy

　　n. 合法(性)，正统(性); 合理;

　　例句：

　　Some of the clergy refused to acknowledge the new king's legitimacy.

　　一部分神职人员拒绝承认新国王的合法地位。

　　"You're doing the work of our adversaries for them, because our democracy depends on people knowing that their vote matters," said Mr Obama.

　　Mr Trump has been heavily criticised by many in his own party by suggesting he might not accept the election result.

　　For days, he has claimed the election is rigged against him, due to media bias and voter fraud.

　　During Wednesday night's debate with Mrs Clinton, when moderator Chris Wallace asked Mr Trump if he would accept losing to her, the Republican nominee said he would "keep you in suspense".

　　Mr Trump's campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, later insisted that the candidate had meant he would not concede until the "results are actually known".

　　Republican Senator John McCain, who lost to Mr Obama eight years ago, said: "A concession isn't just an exercise in graciousness. It is an act of respect for the will of the American people, a respect that is every American leader's first responsibility."

　　First Lady Michelle Obama also joined the attack on Thursday, saying "you do not keep American democracy in suspense".

　　suspense

　　With the Clinton camp - Kim Ghattas, BBC News

　　Hillary Clinton walked on to her campaign plane to the cheering and clapping of her aides.

　　She told reporters she was relieved and grateful and joked there would be "no more naps"- a reference to Trump's repeated description of her prep days off the campaign trail as naps.

　　Mrs Clinton's stand-in for Mr Trump during the mock debates was one of her close aides, Philippe Reines, who took the role so seriously that he wore Trump cufflinks, shoe lifts and the same red tie as Mr Trump. After the debate, Mrs Clinton and Mr Reines embraced and he called her a "badass hombre".

　　Clinton aides said she would continue to highlight Mr Trump's refusal to pledge he would accept the results of the election. But would it be a real crisis on election day? Not if the result was a decisive win, they seemed to quietly indicate.

　　If Mrs Clinton and her team felt that she had closed the deal on stage, they kept their confidence in check. But the mood on the plane was certainly relaxed.

　　At the Ohio rally, Mr Trump also reiterated a claim he made during the debate, that Mrs Clinton and President Obama were responsible for inciting violence at a Chicago rally earlier this year.

　　The crowd erupted into cheers of: "Lock her up!"

　　During the debate, he called Mrs Clinton a "nasty woman".

　　Mr Trump has trailed Mrs Clinton in the polls after facing damaging fallout over a video that emerged of him making obscene remarks about groping women.

　　When asked to address the allegations made against him by several women in the wake of the video, Mr Trump said the claims had been "largely debunked".

　　Mr Trump's comments come after a 10th woman came forward to accuse him of sexual assault on Thursday at a news conference.

　　Karena Virginia said Mr Trump allegedly touched her breast at the US Open in 1998 and made offensive comments about her to a group of men.

　　The two candidates are scheduled to appear at a charity dinner on Thursday night in New York.

　　Polls suggest Mrs Clinton is ahead nationally and in key battleground states.

　　What happens next?

　　Within hours, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will come face-to-face again, at a white-tie gala at the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in New York. Both will make speeches, with tradition dictating the candidates deliver humorous remarks poking fun at themselves and each other, which could be awkward, given how ugly the campaign has become. The bitter rivals will sit one seat apart, with New York's Cardinal Timothy Dolan in the middle.

　　The two candidates will spend the remaining 18 days before the election criss-crossing the US in their bid to persuade undecided voters. Expect to see lots of appearances in battleground states such as Ohio, North Carolina, Florida and Pennsylvania.

　　Voters will go to the polls on Tuesday 8 November to decide who becomes the 45th President of the United States
