Michel Temer, Rousseff's former vice president who has been serving as interim president since her suspension in May, will assume the office of president and serve out the remainder of her term. Temer, a leader of the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party, was sworn in Wednesday afternoon.
前副總統(tǒng)米歇爾•特梅爾接任總統(tǒng),直至2018年本屆總統(tǒng)任期結(jié)束。他在羅塞夫五月被停職后成為代總統(tǒng)。周三下午,特梅爾宣誓就職。他是巴西民主運(yùn)動(dòng)黨領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人。

The Senate's decision is a major blow for Rousseff, a member of the Workers' Party, but it might not mark the end of her political career.
參議院的表決是對勞工黨成員羅塞夫的重大打擊,但并非意味著其政治生涯的終結(jié)。

The heir-apparent to former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Rousseff was re-elected by a narrow margin in 2014, but a recession and a cross-party corruption scandal put an end to any political goodwill she might have earned, eventually leading to her ouster.
羅塞夫是巴西前總統(tǒng)路易斯•伊納西奧•盧拉•達(dá)席爾瓦的接班人,又于2014年以微弱優(yōu)勢贏得連任。但國內(nèi)經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退和跨黨派的貪腐丑聞將其或曾擁有的政治聲望付之一炬,最終導(dǎo)致其被罷免。
