巴西總統羅塞夫將在里約奧運後面臨彈劾審判
Brazil's Senate voted last Wednesday to move the impeachment trial against suspended President Dilma Rousseff to its final phase.
巴西參議院上週三投票推動對被停職總統迪爾瑪·羅塞夫的彈劾審判進入最後階段。Senators voted 59-21 to approve a report calling for her removal after 16 hours of often-angry speeches.
在經歷了長達16個小時言辭激烈的辯論後,參議員們以59票對21票的表決結果批准了一份要求將羅塞夫撤職的報告。The start of the final phase needed only a majority of senators to be present, but 54 of 81 senators will have to vote to convict Ms. Rousseff to remove her from office.
啟動彈劾審判的最後階段只需要多數參議員到場,但81名參議員中須有54名參議員投贊成票,才能為羅塞夫定罪以將她撤職。
The result was expected. The number voting against her—already more than the two-thirds needed to eject her—suggests she faces an uphill climb if she wants to stay in office.
這一結果是符合預期的。投票反對她的人,也就是彈劾她的人已經超過了三分之二,所以這就表明,如果她還想留在總統辦公室,那麼她的處境就猶如爬坡一樣艱難了。Rousseff is accused of committing fiscal fraud in an attempt to balance the 2014 budget. She has not yet made comments on the Senate's decision.
羅塞夫因試圖平衡2014年預算而被指控犯有財政詐騙罪。她尚未對參議院的決定做出評論。According to earlier reports, the impeachment trial is expected to take place in late August or early September.
根據此前的報道,彈劾審判預計將在8月末或9月初進行。
