歐盟正式通過(guò)英國(guó)脫歐協(xié)議草案

The Brexit deal thrashed out between negotiators from the European Union and the United Kingdom has been approved by the leaders of EU member nations, paving the way for the British Parliament to consider it in the weeks to come.

歐盟成員國(guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人通過(guò)了此前歐盟與英國(guó)的談判專員商討達(dá)成的英國(guó)脫歐協(xié)議，為英國(guó)議會(huì)在數(shù)周后就該協(xié)議進(jìn)行討論鋪平了道路。

Three main issues: the Northern Ireland border, the cost of leaving the EU and citizens' rights, are at the center of the deal.

脫歐協(xié)議的三個(gè)核心問(wèn)題為：北愛(ài)爾蘭邊境、英國(guó)脫歐費(fèi)用以及公民權(quán)利。

The UK has agreed to settle a 39 billion pound "divorce bill" with the EU.

英國(guó)已經(jīng)同意向歐盟支付390億英鎊的“分手費(fèi)”。

The deal also aims to protect the rights of EU citizens in the UK, and UK citizens in the EU.

該協(xié)議還確定了保護(hù)在英歐盟公民以及在歐盟英公民權(quán)利的目標(biāo)。

A Northern Ireland "backstop" was agreed, that promises to keep the border open if trade talks break down.

此外，雙方還達(dá)成了一份北愛(ài)爾蘭后備協(xié)議，承諾即便貿(mào)易談判破裂，北愛(ài)爾蘭和愛(ài)爾蘭共和國(guó)之間的邊境依舊開(kāi)放。

The deal must now go before the UK Parliament in a vote expected in the second week of December.

接下來(lái)，這份脫歐協(xié)議必須提交給英國(guó)議會(huì)投票表決，投票預(yù)計(jì)將在12月的第二周進(jìn)行。

Prime Minister Theresa May is expected to travel the country for the next two weeks in a bid to get MPs onside ahead of the vote in Parliament.

接下來(lái)兩周英國(guó)首相特蕾莎·梅將在全國(guó)游說(shuō)，以期在議會(huì)投票前爭(zhēng)取到議員們的支持。

Should she fail, several possibilities remain, including renegotiations with the EU, a general election or a "no deal" withdrawal from the EU.

如果梅的努力失敗的話，仍存在幾種可能，包括英國(guó)與歐盟重新談判、舉行大選或“無(wú)協(xié)議”脫歐。
