美国年总统大选 谁是幕后捐款者?

US federal election law requires all candidates to report each campaign donation to the Federal Election Committee (FEC). These filings offer insight into who is willing to put their money where their vote is.

美国联邦选举法规定，所有候选人必须向联邦选举委员会报告每个选举阵营所收到的捐款。这些法律文件可以让我们比较直观地了解到谁把钱捐到了哪里。

Direct campaign donors are legally allowed to interact with a candidate, but their donations cannot exceed $2,700 per presidential candidate.

在法律上，允许竞选直接捐赠者和候选人进行互动，但是捐赠者给每个候选人的捐款金额最多不能超过2700美元。

Hillary Clinton - Total raised $130,443,637. Though Clinton has received a significant amount from bankers, she has raised even more from lawyers.

希拉里·克林顿一共筹集了130443637美元。尽管希拉里从银行家们那里收到了一笔不小的捐款，但是他从律师们手中筹集的资金更多。

The Clinton campaign has taken in $11m from lawyers and law firms, including $1.33m from individuals who work at seven of the top US law firms. By contrast she has received just over $4m from the commercial banking and investment industries.

希拉里阵营目前已经从律师和律师事务所手里获得了1100万美元资金，其中来自全美7所最大律师事务所的律师们为其贡献了133万美元。于此相对的，她只从商业银行和投资行业手里得到了400万美元多一点的支持。

Bernie Sanders - Total raised $96,311,423. Bernie Sanders has received a swell of financial support from Americans giving in small amounts.

伯尼·桑德斯一共筹集了96311423美元。桑德斯受到了大量捐赠小数额的美国选民的支持。即使他们捐款的面额很小，但也让桑德斯获益良多。

Nearly three-quarters of Senator Sanders' donations have been under $200. His campaign said the average donation in 2015 was $27.16. Only 17% of donations to rival Hillary Clinton are under $200.

在桑德斯收到的资金中，大约有四分之三捐款的面额小于200美元。桑德斯选举阵营表示，2015年平均捐款的面额是27.16美元。而在希拉里收到的捐赠中，只有17%的捐款面额小于200美元。

Ted Cruz - Total raised $54,661,506. More than most, Texas Senator Ted Cruz has relied on donations from his home state. His campaign has received 43% of its donations from people in Texas. Those donations came from a wide range of industries including traditional Texas businesses like oil and gas and farming.

泰德·克鲁兹一共筹集了54661506美元。德克萨斯州参议员泰德·克鲁兹从他老家得到的捐款最多。在克鲁兹选举阵营目前收到捐款中，有43%来自于德克萨斯州人。这些捐款来自于一大批工业部门，包括诸如石油和农业等德克萨斯州传统产业。

Donald Trump - Total raised $25,526,319. The first was the amount of media attention Mr Trump received early on allowing him to spread his campaign message without buying costly TV ads.

而唐纳德·特朗普一共筹集了25526319美元。特朗普收到的最大支持应该是媒体们免费的宣传。他早早地便吸引到了媒体的注意，从而不费一分一毫就把自己的竞选信息广为传播。

That has not stopped him from fundraising. The campaign has raised $25m, but only $7.5m is from individual donors. Health professionals and real estate professionals are the most active donors.

不过那并不能阻止他筹款的步伐。特朗普阵营目前收到了2500万美元的捐款，但个人捐款只有750万美元。卫生健康行业和房地产行业是特朗普最大的捐赠者。
