参考译文：在对前总理菲永竞选的一次新的打击中，法国的金融检察官将继续针对其空饷门的指控进行调查。

重要的背景知识：

法国总统大选实行两轮选举制（two-round system, 也叫the second ballot或runoff voting），在第一轮如果全民公投未有候选人得到绝对多数(absolute majority)，那么在第一轮得票数前两位的获选人进入第二轮投票，获胜者即赢得法国总统（If no candidate receives absolute majority, all but the two candidates receiving the most votes are eliminated, and a second round of voting is held.）。

法国下次总统大选将呈现三足鼎立的局面，即独立候选人前经济部长马克龙(Emmanuel Macron, who launched a social-liberal bid)、被称为法国川普的极右翼政党国民阵线主席玛丽娜•勒庞(leader of far-right National Front Party, Marine Le Pen)以及中右翼阵营共和党候选人、前总理菲永(former Prime Minister, François Fillon)。本来的最热门人选(Front runner)前总理菲永因为妻子被质疑领取约50万欧元的空饷(fake work allegation)而深陷丑闻，民意支持率一路跳水。因此民调机构认为年轻帅气的马克龙将取代菲永，在选举第二轮投票中与勒庞对决，并最终胜出。但是美国大选的结果告诉我们，民调机构的预测可能非常不靠谱（widely off mark），极右翼从边缘（fringe movement）登上政治最高峰也未可知。
