拜登用热门游戏拉选票

You may see Joe Biden campaign signs and yard banners around your neighborhood in video game "Animal Crossing: New Horizon".

电子游戏《动物森友会》的玩家们可能会在虚拟社区发现拜登的竞选标语和广告牌。

"Animal Crossing" has been a huge hit for Nintendo, and the Biden campaign is attempting to capitalize on its popularity by campaigning directly on the platform.

《动物森友会》是任天堂开发的一款热门游戏，拜登的竞选团队正在该平台上拉选票，利用其流行度来为竞选助力。

"Animal Crossing is a dynamic, diverse, and powerful platform that brings communities together from across the world," Christian Tom, director of digital partnerships for the Biden campaign, said in a statement. "It is an exciting new opportunity for our campaign to engage and connect Biden-Harris supporters as they build and decorate their islands."

拜登竞选团队数字合作伙伴关系总监克里斯蒂安·汤姆在一份声明中称：“动物森友会是一个动态，多样化和强大的平台，它将来自世界各地的社区聚集在一起。对我们团队来说，这是个令人兴奋的新机会，能够将正在游戏里建造和装饰小岛的拜登和哈里斯的支持者们组织和联系起来。”

It's not the first time a US presidential candidate has used a video game to try and reach voters. Hillary Clinton's campaign held an event at a Pokestop in Ohio back in 2016.

这不是美国总统候选人第一次用电子游戏拉选票了，2016年，希拉里的竞选团队曾在俄亥俄州的《精灵宝可梦GO》精灵补给站举办竞选活动。

Pokestops are areas where users in the game "Pokemon Go" could go to collect a free item.

精灵站是玩家们获得免费道具的场所。
