英音听力讲解:梅姨警告脱欧失败将是对英国民主制度信任度的灾难

This is the BBC News. Hello, I'm Jonathan Izard.
The British Prime Minister Theresa May has warned that failing to ensure the country leaves the EU would be a catastrophic and unforgivable breach of trust in British democracy. Just two days before a crucial parliamentary vote on her Brexit deal that she is expected to lose, Mrs. May has written in a newspaper article that MPs must not let the people down. Chris Mason reports from Westminster. We stand at the start of a momentous week at Westminster. The government is just a few days away from a widely expected defeat over its Brexit plan and the stakes already towering have grown higher. The Sunday Times reveals the government fears losing its ability to govern in the event of defeat on Tuesday. Its advisers have warned that back benches could seize control of Parliamentary business and so for instance legally compel the government to request that Brexit is delayed. Rarely in recent times has had been so much uncertainty about the government and the country's future.
英国首相特蕾莎•梅警告称脱欧失败将会对英国民主制度信任度造成灾难性和不可原谅的破坏。两天之后，国会将会对她的脱欧协议进行投票，预计她将会输掉。梅在一篇报纸文章中写到，议员绝对不能让人们失望。以下是克里斯•梅森从威斯敏斯特发来的报道。在威斯敏斯特，至关重要的一周即将开启。大部分人预计几天之后政府的脱欧计划将面临失败，原本失败几率很高的计划还在不断增加。《星期日泰晤士报》表示政府害怕在周二的落败中失去执政的机会。其顾问警告称普通议员可能会夺取议会的控制权，并将合法强迫政府推迟脱欧计划。最近几次关于政府和国家的未来充满了不确定性，这是很罕见的。

President Cyril Ramaphosa has urged South African men to unite against what he described as a national crisis of violence against women. He was launching an election manifesto for the governing ANC in the port city of Durban. Andrew Harding reports. President Cyril Ramaphosa urged every man in Durban's packed stadium to stand and they did. He said women were being raped and killed on a continuous basis in South Africa. It was a national crisis, he said, and we must pledge to end it. It was a passionate and unexpected moment. Forty thousand rapes are reported here every year, almost certainly a fraction of the real total. And President Ramaphosa said it was time South Africa took steps to ensure that it was no longer defined by the crisis of gender-based violence.
