巴西总统罗塞夫将在里约奥运后面临弹劾审判
Brazil's Senate voted last Wednesday to move the impeachment trial against suspended President Dilma Rousseff to its final phase.
巴西参议院上周三投票推动对被停职总统迪尔玛·罗塞夫的弹劾审判进入最后阶段。Senators voted 59-21 to approve a report calling for her removal after 16 hours of often-angry speeches.
在经历了长达16个小时言辞激烈的辩论后,参议员们以59票对21票的表决结果批准了一份要求将罗塞夫撤职的报告。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.
启动弹劾审判的最后阶段只需要多数参议员到场,但81名参议员中须有54名参议员投赞成票,才能为罗塞夫定罪以将她撤职。
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.
这一结果是符合预期的。投票反对她的人,也就是弹劾她的人已经超过了三分之二,所以这就表明,如果她还想留在总统办公室,那么她的处境就犹如爬坡一样艰难了。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.
罗塞夫因试图平衡2014年预算而被指控犯有财政诈骗罪。她尚未对参议院的决定做出评论。According to earlier reports, the impeachment trial is expected to take place in late August or early September.
根据此前的报道,弹劾审判预计将在8月末或9月初进行。
