Donald Tusk says UK set to begin Brexit early in 2017
欧盟官员：英国最迟将于明年初开启退欧谈判
广州合同翻译公司：欧洲理事会主席图斯克称，英国首相梅本周告诉他，很可能在未来5个月内作出触发里斯本条约第50条的决定。
One of Brussels’ top officials has said that Britain is set to begin formal talks to leave the EU by February of next year, in a disclosure that adds to political pressure on Downing Street to start the Brexit divorce.
布鲁塞尔一名高级官员称，英国计划将最迟于明年2月开启退出欧盟的正式对话，这增加了唐宁街开启退欧进程的政治压力。广州合同翻译公司。
Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, said that Theresa May, the British prime minister, told him in a meeting this week that a decision would probably come within the next five months.
欧洲理事会(European Council)主席唐纳德•图斯克(Donald Tusk)称，英国首相特里萨•梅(Theresa May)在本周一次会议上告诉他称，很可能在未来5个月内作出这一决定。
“She declared it is almost impossible to trigger Article 50 this year. But she said it is quite likely they will be ready in maybe January or maybe February next year,” Mr Tusk said.
“她表示今年几乎不可能触发第50条。但她称很可能将在明年一、二月份做好准备，”图斯克称。
Speaking after an informal summit of EU countries, the first for 43 years not to include the UK, Mr Tusk reiterated Brussels' position that no negotiations on Britain’s exit would take place before Article 50 was triggered.
在欧盟成员国非正式峰会——这是43年以来英国首次缺席——后，图斯克重申了布鲁斯尔的立场——即在第50条触发之前，不会就英国退欧展开任何谈判。广州合同翻译公司。
His comments came as other EU leaders restated their intention to staunchly defend the principle that Britain will not be permitted to participate in the EU single market if it intends to restrict free movement of workers.
他发表此言之际，欧盟领导人纷纷重申其意图，即他们将坚决捍卫原则，如果英国想限制劳动者自由流动，欧盟将不允许英国参与欧盟单一市场。
In spite of pressure in both Westminster and Brussels, Mrs May has scrupulously avoided being precise about when she would invoke Article 50, saying only that it would not happen in 2016. Triggering the divorce clause of the bloc’s treaty starts the clock on talks with a two-year deadline.
尽管威斯敏斯特和布鲁塞尔两方面都有压力，但是梅一直小心翼翼地避免明确表示她将何时触发第50条，只是表示今年内不会触发该条款。触发欧盟条约的这条退欧条款，将开启为期两年的谈判。
