巴西參議院通過總統彈劾案大綱

Dilma Rousseff vowed to fight to the endafter Brazil’s senate voted to suspend her as president, opening a formalimpeachment process against her for budgetary crimes.

巴西總統迪爾瑪•羅塞夫(Dilma Rousseff)誓言要戰鬥到底，此前，巴西參議院投票暫停了其總統職務，開啓了圍繞預算方面犯罪指控對她的正式彈劾進程。

The decision, threatens to end 13 years ofrule by Ms Dilma’s leftist Workers’ party, the PT, and opens the way for anexpected market-friendly government led by vice-president Michel Temer. He tookoffice as interim president immediately after her suspension.

此次投票或將終結羅塞夫所在左翼工人黨(PT)長達13年的統治，爲由副總統米歇爾•特梅爾(Michel Temer)領導的期待中的親市場政府開闢了道路。羅塞夫被停職後，特梅爾隨即出任臨時總統。

“Brazil’s young democracy is being subjected to a coup,”Ms Roussefftold a chanting crowd of supporters in front of the presidential palace. “I will resistthrough all legal means.”

“巴西年輕的民主制度正遭遇一場政變，”羅塞夫對總統府前高呼口號的大批支持者表示，“我將通過所有法律途徑進行反抗。”

The new government takes the helm as LatinAmerica’s largest economy suffers potentially its worse recession for acentury and as its political class is being devastated by a sweeping corruptionscandal at state-run oil company Petrobras.

新政府掌權之際，正值這個拉丁美洲最大經濟體遭遇有可能是一個世紀以來最嚴重的衰退，巴西國家石油公司(Petrobras)爆出的大規模腐敗醜聞也正在嚴重打擊該國政治精英階層。

Investors have been cheered by Mr Temer’sappointment of respected former central banker Henrique Meirelles as financeminister.

特梅爾將任命受尊敬的、前巴西央行行長恩裏克•梅雷萊斯(Henrique Meirelles)出任財長部長，投資者對此倍感鼓舞。

But Mr Temer faces an uphill task inrallying support in the fractured congress for painful economic measures,including stabilising the budget.

但特梅爾面臨着一項艱鉅的任務，他要在四分五裂的國會裏獲得支持，從而推行包括穩定預算在內的痛苦的經濟措施。

Ms Rousseff choked up as she recalled howshe had been tortured as a young Marxist guerrilla during Brazil’s militarydictatorship more than 30 years ago. “I have suffered the unspeakable pain oftorture, the agonising pain of disease [cancer] and now I suffer yet again theequally indescribable pain of injustice,”she said.

羅塞夫回憶起30多年前巴西軍事獨裁統治期間，還是一名年輕馬克思主義游擊隊員的自己曾遭受過的折磨，忍不住哽咽。她說：“我曾遭受酷刑帶來的無法言說的痛苦，（癌症）疾病帶來的極度痛苦，現在我又遭受不公正帶來的同樣難以形容的痛苦。”

Senators voted 55-22 against Brazil’s firstfemale president. She will be suspended for up to six months while the chargesare deliberated by the house.

參議員們以55票對22票通過彈劾這位巴西首位女總統。在議院審議相關指控期間，她將暫時停職最多6個月。
