歐盟正式通過英國脫歐協議草案大綱

The Brexit deal thrashed out between negotiators from the European Union and the United Kingdom has been approved by the leaders of EU member nations, paving the way for the British Parliament to consider it in the weeks to come.
歐盟成員國領導人通過了此前歐盟與英國的談判專員商討達成的英國脫歐協議，爲英國議會在數週後就該協議進行討論鋪平了道路。

Three main issues: the Northern Ireland border, the cost of leaving the EU and citizens' rights, are at the center of the deal.
脫歐協議的三個核心問題爲：北愛爾蘭邊境、英國脫歐費用以及公民權利。

The UK has agreed to settle a 39 billion pound "divorce bill" with the EU.
英國已經同意向歐盟支付390億英鎊的“分手費”。

The deal also aims to protect the rights of EU citizens in the UK, and UK citizens in the EU.
該協議還確定了保護在英歐盟公民以及在歐盟英公民權利的目標。

A Northern Ireland "backstop" was agreed, that promises to keep the border open if trade talks break down.
此外，雙方還達成了一份北愛爾蘭後備協議，承諾即便貿易談判破裂，北愛爾蘭和愛爾蘭共和國之間的邊境依舊開放。

The deal must now go before the UK Parliament in a vote expected in the second week of December.
接下來，這份脫歐協議必須提交給英國議會投票表決，投票預計將在12月的第二週進行。

Prime Minister Theresa May is expected to travel the country for the next two weeks in a bid to get MPs onside ahead of the vote in Parliament.
接下來兩週英國首相特蕾莎·梅將在全國遊說，以期在議會投票前爭取到議員們的支持。

Should she fail, several possibilities remain, including renegotiations with the EU, a general election or a "no deal" withdrawal from the EU.
如果梅的努力失敗的話，仍存在幾種可能，包括英國與歐盟重新談判、舉行大選或“無協議”脫歐。
