导读:一直以来，加州都是民主党候选人希拉里·克林顿的阵营。自从共和党候选人唐纳德·特朗普赢得总统大选之后，加州的独立之声就不绝于耳。
A proposal for California to secede from the United States was submitted to the Secretary of State’s Office Thursday.
一份加州脱离美国的提案已于星期四提交至了州务卿办公室。
The proposed “Calexit” initiative - its name borrowed from the UK’s "Brexit" departure from the EU - would ask voters to repeal part of the state constitution that declares California an inseparable part of the U.S.
“加州脱美（Calexit）”提案——名称借自“英国脱欧”（Brexit）——要求选民们废除宣称加州为美国不可分割一部分的部分州宪法。
A recent poll found that one in three California residents would support a possible secession from the U.S. due to their opposition to President Trump. No mention has been made of the president in the proposal.
出于反对川普总统，近期的一项民意调查发现，三分之一的加州居民将会支持可能的脱美。提案当中并未提及川普。
If the proposal qualifies for the ballot and is approved by voters, it could be a step to a future vote on whether the state would break away from the rest of the nation.
如果这一提案符合投票要求，同时获得选民们的赞成，它将会成为决定加州是否脱美的未来投票当中的一步。
Secretary of State Alex Padilla said the group behind the proposal, Yes California Independence Campaign, was cleared to begin attempting to collect nearly 600,000 voter signatures needed to place the plan on the ballot.
州务卿埃里克斯·帕迪利亚表示，该提案的发起团体支持加利福尼亚独立运动，已经明确开始试图收集投票所需的近600000名选民的签名。
"In our view, the United States of America represents so many things that conflict with Californian values, and our continued statehood means California will continue subsidizing the other states to our own detriment, and to the detriment of our children," the Yes campaign’s website says.
“在我们看来，美利坚合众国代表的事情太多，以至于与加州价值有所冲突，我们继续保持州的地位意味着加州将继续资助其他各州，这对加州和我们的子孙后代而言都是不利的，”支持加利福尼亚独立运动网站说道。
Similar attempts to establish California as a nation, or break it into multiple states, have failed.
类似的尝试加州建国或分裂成多个州的努力均以失败告终。
The proposed constitutional amendment, titled California Nationhood, would also ask voters to repeal language that states the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law. If approved, it calls for scheduling a vote in 2019 to ask voters, "Should California become a free, sovereign and independent country?"
这一名为《加利福尼亚国家地位》的宪法修改提案还要求选民们废除声称《美国宪法》为最高法律的言语。如果获得通过，它会呼吁于2019年安排投票询问选民们“加州是否应该成为一个自由、主权、独立的国家？”
The campaign must submit the valid voter signatures by July 25 to qualify for the ballot.
支持加利福尼亚独立运动必须在7月25日之前提交投票所需的有效选民签名。
