Theresa May has rejected calls to resign

特蕾莎·梅拒絕宣布辭職

Prime Minister Theresa May could set a date for her resignation in the coming days, the chairman of the Conservative backbench 1922 Committee has said.

保守黨后座議員1922委員會主席表示，英國首相特蕾莎·梅可能會在未來幾天內確定辭職日期。

The PM said she will step down when her Brexit deal is ratified by Parliament - but some MPs want a fixed date.

英國首相曾表示，她將在英國議會批准脫歐協議後辭職，但有的議員希望有一個固定的日期。

Sir Graham Brady said he expected a "clear understanding" of that timetable once she has met the committee, which she would do on Wednesday.

格雷厄姆?布雷迪爵士表示，他預計，梅與該委員會會面後，他就會「明確知曉」這一時間安排。梅將於周三與該委員會會面。

He also said he expected Brexit talks with Labour to "peter out" within days.

他還表示，他預計與工黨的脫歐談判將在幾天內「逐漸結束」。

And Sir Graham also refused to rule out running himself to replace Mrs May.

格雷厄姆爵士還拒絕排除自己參選以取代梅的可能性。

Speaking to BBC Radio 4"s The Week in Westminster, he said the 1922 Committee had asked her to give "clarity" about her plans for the future, and she had "offered to come and meet with the executive".

他在威斯敏斯特接受BBC廣播4台「The Week in Westminster」節目採訪時表示，1922委員會要求梅對自己未來的計劃給出「明確的」說法，而她「主動提出來與該部門會面」。

"It would be strange for that not to result in a clear understanding [of when she will leave] at the end of the meeting," he added.

他補充稱：「如果在會議結束時（對她何時離開）沒有一個明確的定論，那會很奇怪。」

The 1922 Committee is an elected body of Tory MPs that represents backbenchers and oversees the party"s leadership contests.

1922委員會是一個由保守黨議員選舉產生的機構，代表后座議員，監督保守黨的領導層競選。

On why the PM had so far been unwilling to set a date to step down, Sir Graham said: "I do understand the reticence about doing it.

在談到首相為何迄今不願確定辭職日期時，格雷厄姆爵士表示：「我確實理解人們對辭職的緘默態度。」

"I don"t think it"s about an intention for staying indefinitely as prime minister or leader of the Conservative Party.

「我認為這不是無限期擔任首相或保守黨領袖的意圖。」

"I think the reticence is the concern that by promising to go on a certain timetable, it might make it less likely she would secure Parliamentary approval for the withdrawal agreement, rather than more likely."

「我認為這種沉默是一種擔憂，即如果她承諾按照一定的時間錶行事，那麼她獲得議會批准脫歐協議的可能性就更小，而不是更大。」

He was also asked about the cross-party talks between the government and Labour over Mrs May"s Brexit deal, which has been rejected three times.

他還被問及政府與工黨就梅的脫歐協議舉行的跨黨派談判，該協議已被否決三次。

Sir Graham said: "I find it very hard to see how that route can lead to any sensible resolution.

格雷厄姆爵士表示：「我覺得很難看出這條路線能帶來任何明智的解決方案。」

"If the customs union is agreed without a second referendum then half the Labour Party won"t vote for whatever comes through regardless, and if a customs union is agreed then most of the Conservative Party isn"t going to support it.

他說：「如果關稅同盟未經第二次全民公決就獲得通過，那麼接下來不管通過什麼議案，工黨都會有一半人不會投票贊成。如果關稅同盟獲得通過，那麼大多數保守黨人都不會表示支持。」

"So, I can"t see that is a very productive route to follow, and I may be wrong, but I suspect it will peter out in the next few days without having come to any significant conclusion."

「所以，我看不出這是一條非常有效的途徑，我可能是錯的，但我懷疑，在未來幾天內，它將逐漸結束，而不會得出任何重大結論。」

When quizzed about running for the party leadership, Sir Graham said: "It would take an awful lot of people to persuade me.

當被問及競選該黨領袖時，格雷厄姆爵士表示：「需要非常多的人才能說服我做這個決定。」

"I"m not sure many people are straining at the leash at the moment to take on what is an extraordinarily difficult situation."

「我不確定目前是否有很多人在竭盡全力應對這個異常困難的局面。」

In March, Mrs May pledged to stand down if and when Parliament ratified her Brexit withdrawal agreement, but did not make it clear how long she intends to stay if no deal was reached.

今年3月，梅承諾，如果議會批准她的退歐協議，她將辭職，但她沒有明確表示，如果沒有達成協議，她打算留任多久。

Pressure has grown on her since the Tories" local election drubbing, and there have been warnings the party faces a meltdown in elections to the European Parliament as well.

自從保守黨在地方選舉中失利以來，她面臨的壓力越來越大。有人警告說，保守黨在歐洲議會的選舉中也面臨崩潰。

The UK had been due to leave the EU on 29 March, but the deadline was pushed back to 31 October after Parliament was unable to agree a way forward.

英國原定於3月29日離開歐盟，但由於議會未能就未來達成一致，最後期限被推遲到10月31日。
