美国民主党总统候选人希拉里·克林顿和共和党总统候选人唐纳德·川普下星期一将举行首场辩论，辩论会主持人披露了辩论的三项话题。
这场辩论将分成三个话题，每项话题包含两小节，每小节15分钟。三项话题分别是：美国的方向、实现繁荣和保障美国安全。
辩论主持人、全国广播公司夜间新闻(NBC Nightly News)主播莱斯特·霍尔特将用一道问题来为每一小节开场，接下来，每位候选人将有两分钟的回应时间。候选人还有机会彼此回应。
第三党候选人吉尔·斯泰因和加里·约翰逊没有受邀参加辩论，因为在总统辩论委员会上个月选择参考的五项民调中，他们没有达到15%民意支持率的最低门槛。
The moderator of the first presidential debate next Monday has revealed the three topics to be discussed by presidential candidates Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump.
The debate will consist of two 15-minute segments for each of these three topics: America's direction, achieving prosperity and securing America.
Moderator Lester Holt, host of “NBC Nightly News,” will open each segment with a question, after which each candidate will have two minutes to respond. Candidates also will have the opportunity to respond to each other.
Third-party candidates Jill Stein of the Green Party and Libertarian Gary Johnson were not invited to the debate because they did not reach the required threshold of support by averaging at least 15 percent in five public opinion polls the Commission on Presidential Debates selected last month.
