CNN:法院裁决为脱欧进程画上问号

BBC:脱欧案是“阻碍选举人意愿的决定”

《每日电讯报》:阻止脱欧的阴谋:法官与民众的对决

《卫报》:脱欧案裁决——“必须要这么做”:Gina Miller谈为什么她要发起法律挑战

天空电视台:脱欧案:政府输了,梅不能触发《里斯本条约》第50条
(注意,这是标题党,具体分析往下看)
媒体反应如此激烈,那究竟是怎么回事呢?
事情还要从前段时间梅姨(Theresa May)和议会闹上法院说起……是的,你没有听错,闹上法院了。

梅姨想绕开议会,直接启动《里斯本条约》第50条,开启脱欧进程。但是,议会不干,强烈要求要在脱欧进程中拥有发言权。
周四上午,法院判决下来了。

The U.K. High Court ruled that lawmakers should vote on whether the government can begin the formal Brexit process by triggering Article 50 of the EU treaty.
英国最高法院裁决称,立法者应该就政府能否触发欧盟《里斯本条约》第50条启动脱欧进程进行投票。
也就是说,梅姨领导的政府不能单方面决定啥时候启动脱欧进程,议会也要参与进来。

The ruling is a defeat for the government. Prime Minister Theresa May wanted to trigger Article 50 by the end of March 2017, meaning the U.K. would most likely leave the EU two years later.
裁决显示政府输了。首相特蕾莎·梅本想在2017年3月底启动《里斯本条约》第50条,也就是说,英国很可能在两年后离开欧盟(也就是2019年)。

裁决出来以后,梅姨特别不开心,表示还会继续告的。
The government said it was disappointed by the judgment and would appeal.
政府表示,对裁决结果感到失望,将会上诉。
脱欧派很生气。
英国独立党领袖(UK Independence Party)法拉奇(Nigel Farage)说,你们这是要反啊!

"I worry that a betrayal may be near at hand," Farage said after the High Court ruling was announced on Thursday morning.
3日早上高等法院的裁决下来后,法拉奇说:“我很担心马上会有一场背叛上演。”
"I now fear that every attempt will be made to block or delay the triggering of Article 50. If this is so, they have no idea of the level of public anger they will provoke."
“我现在害怕所有的努力都是为了阻止或拖延《里斯本条约》第50条的启动。如果真是这样,他们还没意识到这样将会引发人民怎样的滔天怒海。”
所以,闹了半天,脱欧是要没戏了么?
留欧派以及看热闹的小伙伴别高兴得太早,专家已经说了:
Parliament is unlikely to block Brexit outright.
议会不太可能直接阻止脱欧。
But the ruling could mean Brexit is delayed, particularly by opposition in the upper chamber -- the House of Lords.
但这个判决可能意味着脱欧进程会拖延,尤其会因为上议院的反对而拖延。
而且反对党工党也说了不会阻止脱欧:
The main opposition Labour Party has already said it won't try to block Brexit and instead will use the ruling to push for a Brexit "that works for Britain, putting jobs, living standards and the economy first."
反对党工党已经说了不会阻止脱欧,相反地,会利用这次裁决来推行一个“优先考虑就业、生活水平和经济的,更加适合英国的”脱欧过程。
那么,高等法院这次裁决后,英国脱欧进程将如何发展?
CNN总结了脱欧计划未来可能的走向,我们一起来看看这曲折迂回的过程。

The government will appeal the judgment. The Supreme Court is likely to hear the case in early December and issue a ruling by early January.
梅姨的政府将上诉。最高法院很可能在今年12月初审理本案,并在明年1月初作出判决。
判决的结果有两种可能:
❶ If the Supreme Court overturns the High Court ruling, May will be able to trigger Article 50 whenever she wants.
如果最高法院推翻了高等法院的裁决结果,那么梅姨就可以随时启动脱欧程序。
❷ But if it upholds the ruling, May will have to seek approval from members of parliament before taking that first step. That could drag things out.
但如果最高法院决定维持原判,梅姨就需要在脱欧迈出第一步之前先征求议会的同意,而这可能拖延很久。
在上诉失败情况下,梅姨将有两个选择来赢得议会的支持:
❶ She could bring forward a simple "motion," requiring a yay-or-nay answer from MPs.
梅姨可以提出一个简单议案,让议员们表决。
❷ Or her government could propose legislation, which could be amended by lawmakers seeking to influence the terms of Brexit.
或者她的政府也可以提出立法建议,让希望影响脱欧进程的议会立法者们来修订。
Assuming the government eventually gets parliamentary permission to trigger Article 50 and May presses the Brexit button, then negotiations with the EU would begin.
假设政府最终得到了议会的许可,梅姨就可以启动第50条,从而开启脱欧进程。英国政府与欧盟的脱欧谈判也将随之开始。
The government will have to negotiate on issues related to trade, investment and immigration. According to EU rules, this process lasts for exactly two years. Then the U.K. would officially leave the EU.
英国政府与欧盟将要就贸易、投资和移民的相关事宜进行谈判。根据欧盟规则,这些谈判需要在两年内完成。谈判结束后,英国就正式脱离欧盟啦。

总而言之,真的是个很麻烦的过程呢,梅姨此刻的内心大概是崩溃的吧……
