British Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday signed the Article 50 notification letter which will officially begin Britain’s exit from the European Union (EU), local media said.
据当地媒体报道，本周二英国首相特丽莎·梅签署了“第50条”通知信，正式开启了英国脱欧程序。
Nine months after the divisive Brexit referendum last June, May will officially trigger Article 50 in the letter that will be hand delivered on Wednesday to European Council President Donald Tusk.
在距离去年6月脱欧公投结束后9个月的现在，梅将在这封信中正式触发第50条，本周三这封信将被递交给欧洲理事会主席唐纳德·图斯克。
At the same time, in a statement to MPs in the Commons, she will pledge to get the right deal for everyone in Britain, including EU nationals living in this country, according to a Sky TV report.
与此同时据Sky TV的一份报道显示，在首相对下议院发表的声明中，梅将保证为每个英国人、以及住在英国的欧盟公民达成正确的协议。
"We are one great union of people and nations with a proud history and a bright future," she will say. "And, now that the decision has been made to leave the EU, it is time to come together."
梅说道：“我们是一个伟大人民的联盟、我们是一个拥有自豪历史和光明未来的国家联盟。而现在既然已经决定离开欧盟，那么我们就是时候团结一致了。”
By triggering Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, the Britain and EU is expected to have a two-year process in which the terms of exit will be negotiated. Unless both sides agree to extend the deadline for talks, Britain will leave on March 2019.
通过触发《里斯本条约》第50条，英国和欧盟将有两年的时间来谈判脱欧事宜。除非双方都同意延长谈判最后期限，否则英国将在2019年3月份完全脱离欧盟。
Article 50 refers to the formal procedure by which an EU member state notifies the European Council that it intends to leave the bloc.
《里斯本条约》第50条具有如下规定，是欧盟成员国知会欧盟理事会其打算退出欧盟的正式程序。
