Voting underway in Brazil's lower house of Congress
弹劾表决巴西众议院进行中
Voting is underway in Brazil’s lower house of Congress, to decide whether President Dilma Rousseff should face an impeachment trial.
决定巴西总统迪尔玛·罗塞夫是否接受弹劾审讯的表决正在众议院进行。
So now let's go look to the scence.There are a total number of 513 congressmen. And a two third vote in favor is required for the impeachment vote to go to the senate. That equals 342 votes.
那么现在让我们看一下现场局面。国会议员共513人。占多数的2/3的票数,即342票,支持参议审理该弹劾案。
The process started on Sunday afternoon local time, with legislators making their choice one by one. And each is given time to speak before casting their vote, to the sound of both cheers and boos. This underscores the deep polarization in Latin America’s largest nation.
表决程序于当地时间周日开始。议员进行逐一投票。每位立法委员会的成员都被给予时间作出选择之前进行发言,并在表态结束之后听到在座他人的欢呼声和唏嘘声。此次表决凸显出了这个拉丁美洲最大的国家严重的内部分化问题。
The whole session was the culmination of months of fighting, which have largely paralyzed the government and divided the country.
在经历了数月的抗争之后,整个表决过程将弹劾案推向高潮。该弹劾案在很大程度上令政府部门陷入瘫痪,并造成了国家的分裂。
