政治

(2). 1:Theresa May, Britain’s prime minister, hoped that a deal struck at a cabinet summit would enable her to take an acceptable proposal to Brussels for leaving the European Union.
2:The deal split hardline and more pragmatic Brexiteers.
3:Two cabinet ministers resigned in protest: Boris Johnson, the foreign secretary, and David Davis, the Brexit secretary.
4:Mrs May defended the proposals, taking aim at potential challengers by saying “to lead is to decide”.

1:英国首相特蕾莎梅希望，在内阁峰会上达成的协议，能够让她向布鲁塞尔提交一份可接受的脱欧提议。
2:强硬派和更务实的脱欧派在该协议上产生了分歧。
3:两名内阁部长外交大臣鲍里斯·约翰逊(Boris Johnson)和英国脱欧大臣戴维·戴维斯(David Davis)辞职以示抗议。
4:首相为这些提议进行了辩护并将矛头对准了潜在的挑战者，称“领导就是决定”。

(3). The resignations forced Mrs May into a hasty cabinet reshuffle. Jeremy Hunt is the new foreign secretary. Dominic Raab will lead negotiations with the EU as the new Brexit secretary. He holds a black belt in karate.

“辞职风波”迫使首相匆忙进行内阁改组。杰里米·亨特（Jeremy Hunt）担任新任外交部长。多米尼克·拉布(Dominic Raab)将担任英国新任脱欧大臣，领导与欧盟的谈判。他还是空手道黑带选手。

(4). One of the two people recently exposed to the Novichok nerve agent in Britain died in hospital, prompting police to launch a murder inquiry. Authorities said that the possibility that the incident is linked to the poisoning in March of a former Russian spy is a “clear line” of their investigation.

最近，英国两名公民接触到诺维茨克（Novichok）神经毒气，其中一人在医院死亡，这促使警方展开了一项谋杀调查。当局表示，该事件可能与今年3月发生的前俄罗斯间谍中毒案有关，这是他们调查的“明确路线”。

(5). Donald Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh to be Anthony Kennedy’s replacement on the Supreme Court. Mr Kavanaugh is an appeals-court judge who once worked for Kenneth Starr’s investigation into Bill Clinton. Democrats vowed to block his appointment, though a change to the rules means that Supreme Court picks can no longer be filibustered.

唐纳德·特朗普提名布雷特·卡瓦诺（Brett Kavanaugh）接替安东尼·肯尼迪（Anthony Kennedy）出任最高法院大法官。卡瓦诺是一名上诉法院法官，曾作为肯尼斯·斯塔尔（Kenneth Starr）的助理调查前总统比尔·克林顿（Bill Clinton）。民主党人誓言要阻止这一任命，尽管对规则的修改意味着最高法院的决定将不再被阻挠。

(6). Andrew Wheeler, a former lobbyist for the coal industry, took over as acting head of the Environmental Protection Agency following the resignation of Scott Pruitt. Mr Pruitt was facing over a dozen federal investigations into allegations of unethical behaviour, and had run up a huge travel bill from flying first class.

安德鲁·惠勒(Andrew Wheeler)曾是煤炭行业的说客，在斯科特·普鲁特(Scott Pruitt)辞职后，他接任了美国环境保护局(Environmental Protection Agency)代理局长一职。普鲁伊特因被控有不道德行为而面临着十多起联邦调查，包括他乘坐头等舱，为此花费了一大笔差旅费用。

(7). 1:In Nicaragua, at least 20 people were killed in a day of protest against the government of Daniel Ortega, the president.
2:Over 300 people have been killed since protests began in April.
3:They started as a demonstration against the government’s slow response to a forest fire and grew when it cut pensions.
4:A dialogue between opposition groups and the government mediated by the Catholic church has been suspended.

1:在尼加拉瓜，至少有20人在抗议总统丹尼尔·奥尔特加(Daniel Ortega)政府的活动中丧生。
2:自4月份抗议活动爆发以来，已有300多人丧生。
3:最初，民众因政府对森林大火反应迟缓举行示威游行，后来随着政府削减养老金，抗议规模不断扩大。
4:由天主教会调解的反对派团体与政府之间的对话已经暂停。

(8). A judge on weekend duty at an appellate court in Porto Alegre, a city in southern Brazil, ordered the release from prison of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, a popular former president who is serving a 12-year sentence for corruption, but his decision was overturned. The appellate court’s president ruled that there were no legal grounds to free Lula.

在巴西南部城市阿雷格里港一上诉法院，一名周末值班的法官下令释放路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦(Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva)，这位颇受民众爱戴的前总统因腐败被判入狱服刑12年，但是该法官的判决结果被推翻了。上诉法院院长裁定并无法律依据释放卢拉。

(9). Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, Mexico’s president-elect, said that Marcelo Ebrard, a former mayor of Mexico City, will be foreign minister in his government. Mr Lopez Obrador is a leftist, but Mr Ebrard is thought to be a moderate.

墨西哥当选总统安德烈斯·曼努埃尔·洛佩兹·奥夫拉多尔(Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador)表示，墨西哥前市长马塞洛·埃伯拉德(Marcelo Ebrard)将出任其政府外交部长一职。洛佩斯·奥夫拉多尔是一位左翼人士，但埃伯拉德据信是一位温和派人士。
