Brexit has been in the news a lot lately, and there's still quite a few people, specifically Americans, who don't fully understand it.

英國脫歐最近很常占據新聞版面，但還是有很多人，尤其美國人，對這件事不完全了解。

過去簡單式

Luckily, I saw this commercial last night that I think explains everything you need to know about the topic.

還好，我昨晚看到這支廣告，我覺得它解釋了你針對這個主題應該知道的事。

祈使句型

- What? - Not understanding everything that's going on with the world today.

- 什麼？ - 我不喜歡對現今的國際時事不了解。

我舉例來說好了，脫歐是什麼？

I'm pretty sure Brexit's the most important meal of the day.

我蠻確定那應該是一天中最重要的一餐。

Brexit is just a term for Britain's recent decision to leave the European Union.

脫歐是一個術語，指的是英國最近決定脫離歐盟的決議。

Well, some British people want to control their own trade agreements instead of having them controlled by a larger, unorganized body, while other British people think it's better to be part of a group of bodies that all work together.

是這樣的，有些英國人想自己掌控貿易協定，而不是讓一個大而雜亂的組織管理，但其他人認為，作為群體的一份子一起運作比較好。

The vote for Brexit was called by David Cameron, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom who never thought it would pass. But then it did, so he stepped down.

投票脫歐是由英國前首相大衛．卡麥隆所發起，他從沒想過會通過。但卻通過了，他只好卸任。

Then he was replaced by Theresa May, who was initially against Brexit but now is in charge of carrying it out.

然後他被德蕾莎．梅伊取代，她本來是反對脫歐，但現在卻負責執行。

The way I'm in charge of carrying my dog out when he needs to go to the bathroom.

就好像我的狗想要上廁所時，我總是得帶牠出門。

Then in November, negotiators agreed on the framework for the future relationship between the EU and the UK, which is not a binding legal document but more of a commitment to negotiate in good faith, which is set out in article 1-84 the Withdrawal Agreement.

然後在十一月，協商者同意歐盟和英國未來的關係協議，不是在法律上同盟的文件，比較像是友好溝通的承諾，就像 1-84 脫歐協議開頭敘述的那樣。

Well, the majority of citizens voted to leave. So, yes.

大部分公民投票贊成，所以是離開了。

But then they spent 2 years debating how to leave. So, no.

但他們接著花了 2 年辯論脫歐的方式，所以是還沒離開。

But then Theresa May made a new law saying they have to leave.

但德蕾莎．梅伊又立了新法說他們必須脫歐。

- 我現在知道了。 - 不，你不知道。

While Britain is definitely leaving the EU...

雖然英國是肯定要離開歐盟了...

歐噁！不好意思，我剛剛放屁了。

But either way, they'll exit on March 29th.

但無論怎樣，他們 3 月 29 日就會脫歐。

Wait, if March 29th is your birthday, then why are we eating this cake?

等等，如果 3 月 29 日是你生日，那我們這蛋糕是吃幹嘛的？

America, be glad we got out of Britain when we did.

美國，你們該慶幸我們老早脫英了。
