德国大选
German Election
Angela Merkel won a fourth term as chancellor in elections on Sunday, even as her victory was dimmed by the entry of a far-right party into Parliament for the first time in more than 60 years, according to preliminary results.
当地时间9月24日,初步结果显示,安吉拉·默克尔赢得大选,第四次出任总理一职。与此同时,极右翼政党60多年来再次进入议会,给默克尔连任蒙上一层阴影。
Ms. Merkel’s conservative bloc won some 32.9 percent of the vote, sharply down from 41.5 percent in 2013, the early results showed.
早期调查结果显示,默克尔保守派政党得票率为32.9%,与2013年的41.5%相比大幅滑落。
The center-left Social Democrats slumped to 20.8 percent, a new postwar low, down from 25.7 percent four years ago.
左倾社会民主党(社民党)得票率从四年前的25.7%下跌至20.8%,创二战以来最低纪录。
The Social Democrats, Ms. Merkel’s coalition partners for the last four years, announced Sunday evening that the party would go into opposition, hoping to rebuild their political profile.
在过去四年中,社民党一直是默克尔政党的盟友,但社民党在24日晚宣布他们将成为反对党,希望重塑其政治姿态。
An alternative coalition for Merkel would be a three-way tie-up with the liberal Free Democrats (FDP) and the Ecologist Greens. That is a combination as yet untested at national level and known as the “Jamaica” option because the three parties’ colors are those of the black-gold-green Jamaica national flag.
默克尔可选择与自由民主党和生态绿党组成三党联盟,但这种国家层面的联盟方式之前从未在德国出现过。这种联盟方式被称为“牙买加”联盟,因为三个政党党旗的颜色分别为牙买加国旗的黑色、黄色和绿色。

英拉获刑
Yingluck trial verdict
Thailand’s supreme court has found the former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra guilty of negligence and sentenced her to five years in prison, a verdict delivered in absentia a month after she fled the country.
泰国最高法院认定前总理英拉·西那瓦犯有渎职罪,被判五年有期徒刑。英拉缺席审判,此前一个月,她已逃离泰国。

8月25日,律师称英拉耳朵不适,因此无法出庭,但法庭驳回了这一理由,将宣判推迟(至9月27日),随即发出拘捕令。陆军总司令帕拉育已命令加强边境检查。

尽管为泰党(英拉所属政党)党员称,英拉先飞往柬埔寨,后到达新加坡,最后飞往迪拜,但目前英拉的具体行踪仍然不明。
