巴西总统罗塞夫将在里约奥运后面临弹劾审判

Brazil's Senate voted last Wednesday to move the impeachment trial against suspended President Dilma Rousseff to its final phase.

巴西参议院上周三投票推动对被停职总统迪尔玛·罗塞夫的弹劾审判进入最后阶段。

Senators voted 59-21 to approve a report calling for her removal after 16 hours of often-angry speeches.

在经历了长达16个小时言辞激烈的辩论后，参议员们以59票对21票的表决结果批准了一份要求将罗塞夫撤职的报告。

The start of the final phase needed only a majority of senators to be present, but 54 of 81 senators will have to vote to convict Ms. Rousseff to remove her from office.

启动弹劾审判的最后阶段只需要多数参议员到场，但81名参议员中须有54名参议员投赞成票，才能为罗塞夫定罪以将她撤职。

The result was expected. The number voting against her—already more than the two-thirds needed to eject her—suggests she faces an uphill climb if she wants to stay in office.

这一结果是符合预期的。投票反对她的人，也就是弹劾她的人已经超过了三分之二，所以这就表明，如果她还想留在总统办公室，那么她的处境就犹如爬坡一样艰难了。

Rousseff is accused of committing fiscal fraud in an attempt to balance the 2014 budget. She has not yet made comments on the Senate's decision.

罗塞夫因试图平衡2014年预算而被指控犯有财政诈骗罪。她尚未对参议院的决定做出评论。

According to earlier reports, the impeachment trial is expected to take place in late August or early September.

根据此前的报道，弹劾审判预计将在8月末或9月初进行。
