欢迎来到今天的VOA慢速专区。

今天为大家带来一则关于英国脱欧的新闻。

British and European Union officials say they have reached a deal on amended terms for Britain's withdrawal from the EU.
The deal was announced Thursday, more than three years after Britons voted to leave the 28-member union.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson must win a vote in parliament to get the agreement approved.
“We have a great new Brexit deal,” Johnson said.
Politicians and the media have been using the term Brexit for the proposed withdrawal.
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker also expressed satisfaction with the agreement.
“It is high time to complete the divorce process and move on, as swiftly as possible, to the negotiation on the European Union's future partnership with the United Kingdom (UK),” Juncker said in a letter.
“Where there is a will there is a deal - we have one!” he wrote on the social networking service Twitter.
“It's a fair and balanced agreement for the EU and the UK and it is a testament to our commitment to find solutions.”
His tweet appeared before the start of an EU meeting in Brussels.
Johnson must now secure approval for the amended deal in a special session of parliament on Saturday.
If approved, the agreement would lead to an orderly withdrawal from the EU on October 31.
Johnson had threatened to take Britain out of the EU at the end of the month with or without a deal.
Many people worried a no-deal Brexit would cause serious damage to the British economy.
The head of Britain's main opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, said he was “unhappy” with the deal and would vote against it.
Lawmakers in his party said they had been told to support calls for a special referendum when they meet on Saturday.
A new nationwide vote would reopen the decision to leave the EU.
For the agreement to be approved, Johnson needs the backing of the Northern Irish Democratic Union Party, or DUP.
The party has said it will not support the deal.
The most difficult part of any Brexit agreement has been the question of the border between Ireland and the British province of Northern Ireland.
The border is now completely open.
The problem was how to keep it open once Britain leaves the EU.
Setting up border checkpoints, many feared, would endanger the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, which ended years of conflict in Northern Ireland.
Leaving the border open would undermine Britain's desire to control trade agreements.
Negotiators worked this week to find a compromise on the question of the Irish border.
The amended agreement reached would keep Northern Ireland in the UK trade area.
Tariffs will be placed on goods crossing from mainland Britain to Northern Ireland if they are going to Ireland or other EU member states.
However, the Democratic Unionist Party said the new wording was not acceptable.
The party supports Johnson's government.
The prime minister has no majority in the 650-seat parliament.
The Reuters news agency notes that he needs at least 318 votes to get a deal approved.

英国和欧盟官员表示，他们已经就英国退出欧盟的修正条款达成协议。

这项协议是于周四宣布的。三年多以前，英国人公投决定退出由28个国家组成的联盟。

英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊必须在议会赢得投票才能使该协议获得通过。

约翰逊说：“我们达成了一项伟大的新脱欧协议。”

政客和媒体一直使用脱欧一词来指代拟议中的退出欧盟。

欧盟委员会主席让-克洛德·容克也对这项协议表示满意。

容克在一封信中表示：“现在是时候完成英国脱欧程序并且继续前行，我们应该尽快就欧盟与英国未来的伙伴关系展开谈判。”

他在社交媒体网站推特上表示：“有意愿就能达成协议，我们达成协议了。

对于欧盟和英国来说，这是一项公平且平衡的协议，也是我们致力于寻找解决方案的证明。”

他的推文是在布鲁塞尔的欧盟会议开始前发布的。

约翰逊现在必须在周六的议会特别会议上确保修改后的协议获得批准。

如果获得批准，该协议将会让英国于10月31日有序退出欧盟。

约翰逊曾威胁说，无论是否达成协议，都将于月底带领英国退出欧盟。

许多人担心，无协议脱欧会严重损害英国经济。

英国主要反对党工党领袖杰里米·科尔宾表示，他对该协议“不满意”，将投反对票。

他所在政党的议员们表示，他们被告知在周六开会时要支持举行一次特别全民公投的呼吁。

新一轮全国投票将会重新作出脱欧决定。

为了让这项协议得以通过，约翰逊需要获得北爱尔兰民主联盟党的支持。

该党已经表示不会支持该协议。

英国脱欧协议中最困难的部分是爱尔兰和英国北爱尔兰省之间的边境问题。

目前该边境是完全开放状态。

问题是一旦英国脱离欧盟如何保持这一状态。

许多人担心，设立边境检查站将会危及1998年《耶稣受难日协议》。该协议结束了北爱尔兰多年的冲突。

开放边境将削弱英国控制贸易协定的意愿。

谈判代表们本周努力就爱尔兰边境问题达成妥协。

经修订的协议将使北爱尔兰保留在英国的贸易区内。

从英国大陆到北爱尔兰的货物如果运往爱尔兰或其他欧盟成员国将被征收关税。

然而，民主联盟党表示，新的条款是无法接受的。

该党支持约翰逊政府。

约翰逊首相在650席的议会中不占多数优势。

路透社指出，他至少需要318票才能使协议获得批准。
