普京罕见喊话支持特朗普和英国退欧

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has accused the UK and US political classes of "disrespecting" the public by questioning the Brexit referendum and Donald Trump’s election.

俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京(Vladimir Putin)指责了英国和美国的政治阶层“不尊重”公众，称其质疑英国退欧公投和唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)当选。

"They don’t want to recognise [Mr Trump’s] victory. That’s disrespect of voters," he said.

他说道：“他们不想承认(特朗普的)胜利。这是对选民的不尊重。”

"The same in Britain: Brexit happened, but no-one wants to implement it."

“在英国也是如此：公投决定退欧，但没有人想实施它。”

He also warned that the world was becoming complacent about the risks of nuclear war.

他还警告说，世界正因核战争的风险而变得沾沾自喜。

The president’s comments came at his year-end press conference in Moscow.

普京是在莫斯科年终新闻发布会上发表上述言论的。

Russia’s leader also said British Prime Minister Theresa May has no choice but to follow through with Brexit, as failing to do so would undermine UK democracy.

他还表示，英国首相特雷莎·梅(Theresa May)别无选择，只能坚持退欧，否则将破坏民主。

"She must enact the will of the people, expressed during the referendum," he said. "Or otherwise it is not a referendum at all: doing it over and over again if someone did not like it [the result]. Is it a democracy?"

“她必须实现公投期间人民表达的意愿，”他说道。“否则，这根本就不是公投了：如果因为有人不喜欢(公投结果)，就一而再、再而三地进行公投。那么这还算民主吗?”

Mr Putin described relations with the UK as in "deadlock," saying it was in both countries’ interests to improve matters.

普京将俄英关系形容为“僵局”，并称改善关系符合两国利益。

"Are we interested in restoring full relations with Britain? Yes, we are interested," he said. "And we know that British [companies] work pretty actively here."

“我们是否有兴趣恢复与英国的全面关系?是的，我们感兴趣，“他说道。“我们知道，英国(企业)在这里非常活跃。”

The UK is one of a number of Western countries that have enacted economic sanctions against Russia over its annexation of the Ukrainian territory of Crimea and the nerve agent attack on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in southern England.

英国是对俄罗斯实施经济制裁的多个西方国家之一，原因是俄罗斯吞并了乌克兰领土克里米亚，并在英格兰南部对俄罗斯前间谍谢尔盖·斯克里帕尔(Sergei Skripal)展开了神经毒气袭击。
