英女王已批準(zhǔn)暫停議會(huì)

Queen Elizabeth II announced Wednesday she has given her consent to the request of Prime Minister Boris Johnson to suspend the British Parliament.
英國(guó)女王伊麗莎白二世28日宣布已同意首相鮑里斯·約翰遜提出的暫停議會(huì)活動(dòng)的請(qǐng)求。

約翰遜28日上午同女王見(jiàn)面，請(qǐng)求女王宣布議會(huì)從9月9日起休會(huì)，那時(shí)議員們剛結(jié)束暑假返崗沒(méi)幾天，而休會(huì)將一直持續(xù)至10月14日，那時(shí)距脫歐截止日期10月31日僅剩兩周。

The move appeared designed to limit the opportunity for Members of Parliament to press ahead with their plans to prevent Johnson from leaving the European Union on Oct 31 without a deal.
此舉的目的似乎是讓議員們不再有機(jī)會(huì)通過(guò)法案來(lái)阻止約翰遜在10月31日帶領(lǐng)英國(guó)以無(wú)協(xié)議的方式脫歐。
