今年4月18日，英國(guó)首相特蕾莎?梅宣布要在6月8日提前舉行大選，次日，英國(guó)下議院投票通過(guò)該提議。她表示，英國(guó)脫歐公投后國(guó)家需要確定性、穩(wěn)定性以及強(qiáng)有力的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，而當(dāng)前英國(guó)的議會(huì)處于分裂狀態(tài)，不利于進(jìn)行脫歐談判。

當(dāng)時(shí)的梅相以為憑借保守黨的高支持率，趁熱打鐵，在大選中大獲全勝一定沒(méi)有問(wèn)題。可是，從投票結(jié)束時(shí)的出口民調(diào)，到逐個(gè)公布的選舉結(jié)果來(lái)看，保守黨想要得到326票的多數(shù)席位已無(wú)可能，英國(guó)將再次迎來(lái)“懸浮議會(huì)”（Hung Parliament）。

什么是“懸浮議會(huì)”？

When no single party can get enough MPs to form a majority on its own in a general election, parliament is said to be "hung". This happened at the 2010 election. The leader of the party with the most seats is given the opportunity to try to form a government. This can take two forms: a formal coalition with other parties or a more informal arrangement, known as “confidence and supply”, in which the smaller parties agree to support the main legislation.
當(dāng)大選中沒(méi)有任何一方政黨贏得議院的多數(shù)席位，這個(gè)議會(huì)就被稱為“懸浮議會(huì)”。這個(gè)情況曾在2010年英國(guó)大選中發(fā)生過(guò)。得到最多席位的黨派領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人將有機(jī)會(huì)試著組建起一個(gè)政府。這個(gè)政府可能有兩種形式：與其他政黨組成正式的聯(lián)合政府，或者，達(dá)成一個(gè)非正式的執(zhí)政協(xié)議，被稱為“信任支應(yīng)協(xié)議”，這種情況下，較小的政黨同意支持主要政黨組建的政府。

對(duì)于此次大選，英國(guó)各大媒體都在實(shí)時(shí)報(bào)道：

The UK looks set to have a hung parliament with the Conservatives as the largest party, with most general election results now in.
隨著多數(shù)大選結(jié)果公布，英國(guó)已確定將迎來(lái)一個(gè)以保守黨為最大黨的懸浮議會(huì)。

It means Theresa May faces the humiliation of ending with fewer seats than when she called the election.
這就意味著梅相所在的保守黨在大選后的席位還沒(méi)有當(dāng)初宣布大選的時(shí)候多，自己打了自己的臉。

The Tories are projected to get 318 seats, Labour 261 and the SNP 35.
保守黨預(yù)計(jì)將拿到318個(gè)席位，工黨261個(gè)，蘇格蘭民族黨35個(gè)。

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn called on Mrs May to resign - but she said the country needed stability and her party would "ensure" it was maintained.
工黨領(lǐng)袖科爾賓要求梅相辭職，但是，她表示，國(guó)家需要穩(wěn)定，而她的政黨能夠“確?！蹦壳暗姆€(wěn)定局面。

Labour looks set to make 29 gains with the Tories losing 13 seats - and the SNP down by 22 seats in a bad night for Nicola Sturgeon, with her party losing seats to the Tories, Labour and Lib Dems.
工黨預(yù)計(jì)將額外贏得29個(gè)席位，保守黨則丟掉了13個(gè)席位，蘇格蘭民族黨的席位減少了22個(gè)，減少的這些席位都分散到了保守黨、工黨和自由民主黨手中。這對(duì)斯特爾金來(lái)說(shuō)是個(gè)難熬的夜晚。

UKIP's vote slumped dramatically but rather than moving en masse to the Tories, as they had expected, their voters also switched to Labour.
英國(guó)獨(dú)立黨獲得的選票數(shù)量急劇下降，不過(guò)，與他們之前的預(yù)期不同的是，獨(dú)立黨的選票并沒(méi)有轉(zhuǎn)至保守黨，而是投給了工黨。

Mr Corbyn, speaking after being re-elected in Islington North, said it was time for Mrs May to "make way" for a government that would be "truly representative of the people of this country".
再次當(dāng)選的科爾賓在北伊斯靈頓發(fā)表講話時(shí)說(shuō)，是時(shí)候讓梅給能夠“真正代表這個(gè)國(guó)家的人民”的政府“讓路”了。

He said he was "very proud" of the results so far, which he said were a "vote for hope for the future" and said people were "turning their backs on austerity".
他說(shuō)，他對(duì)目前為止的結(jié)果“很驕傲”，他表示這是一次“讓未來(lái)有希望的投票”，并表示人民“將緊縮拒之門外”。

The Conservatives have said that in the event of a hung Parliament, Mrs May would get the opportunity to form a government first.
在“懸浮議會(huì)”的結(jié)果產(chǎn)生后，保守黨表示，梅將有機(jī)會(huì)最先組建政府。

Speaking at her count in Maidenhead, Theresa May said the full picture had yet to emerge, but added: "At this time more than anything else, this country needs a period of stability.
在她自己的選區(qū)梅登黑德發(fā)表講話時(shí)，特蕾莎?梅表示目前尚未能窺得全局，但是她補(bǔ)充說(shuō)：“在這個(gè)時(shí)候，相比其他任何事情，這個(gè)國(guó)家最需要的是一段穩(wěn)定期?！?/p>

"And if, as the indications have shown and if this is correct that the Conservative Party has won the most seats and probably the most votes, then it will be incumbent on us to ensure we have that period of stability - and that is exactly what we will do."
“如果，就像指標(biāo)顯示的那樣，保守黨獲得最多席位同時(shí)也很可能是最多票數(shù)這一事實(shí)準(zhǔn)確無(wú)誤的話，那么我們就有義務(wù)確保我們擁有穩(wěn)定期——而這也正是我們要做的?！?/p>

Speaking on ITV, George Osborne, who was sacked as chancellor last year by Mrs May, said: "Theresa May is probably going to be one of the shortest serving prime ministers in our history."
去年被梅相解除財(cái)政大臣職務(wù)的喬治?奧斯本在獨(dú)立電視臺(tái)發(fā)表講話時(shí)稱：“特蕾莎?梅很可能會(huì)成為英國(guó)有史以來(lái)執(zhí)政時(shí)間最短的首相。”

He added: "Hard Brexit went in the rubbish bin tonight."
他還說(shuō)：“英國(guó)硬脫歐今晚徹底廢了?！?/p>

DUP MP Simon Hamilton said his party's votes were going to be "incredibly important" in the new Parliament and they would push to get "a good deal for Northern Ireland as we leave the European Union".
民主統(tǒng)一黨議員西蒙?漢米爾頓說(shuō)，他所在政黨的票數(shù)在新議會(huì)中將變得“無(wú)比重要”，而且他們將會(huì)努力在“脫歐期間為北愛(ài)爾蘭爭(zhēng)取大量利益”。
