執(zhí)政生涯終結(jié)：意大利總理貝盧斯科尼正式辭職

Italy's presidential palace has confirmed that Premier Silvio Berlusconi has resigned, setting in motion a transition aimed at bringing Italy back from the brink of economic crisis.
意大利總統(tǒng)府證實(shí)總理貝盧斯科尼已經(jīng)正式辭職，根據(jù)意大利法律，意大利將組建過渡政府，旨在從經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)的崩潰邊緣挽救意大利。

President Giorgio Napolitano accepted Berlusconi's resignation after a meeting in the presidential palace, his office said.
意大利總統(tǒng)辦公室表示，總統(tǒng)納波利塔諾在總統(tǒng)府接受了貝盧斯科尼的辭職。

Berlusconi, who failed to secure a majority in a crucial vote on Tuesday, handed in his resignation after parliament passed a package of measures demanded by European partners to restore market confidence in Italy's strained public finances.
貝盧斯科尼在周二的一次關(guān)鍵性投票中失去優(yōu)勢地位，在議會(huì)通過旨在穩(wěn)定國內(nèi)財(cái)政狀況的緊縮法案后遞交辭呈。意大利的此次緊縮法案目的是采取一系列措施恢復(fù)歐元區(qū)成員國對意大利市場的信心。

Former European Commissioner Mario Monti is expected to be given the task of trying to form a new administration to face a widening financial crisis which has sent Italy's borrowing costs to unmanageable levels.
貝盧斯科尼作出辭職表態(tài)后，納波利塔諾隨即任命前歐盟委員會(huì)負(fù)責(zé)競爭事務(wù)的委員馬里奧·蒙蒂為終身參議員。蒙蒂臨危受命，將出任過渡政府總理，他所面臨的是影響擴(kuò)大的經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)和局面不可收拾的意大利借貸成本。

A chorus of Handel's "Alleluia" rang out Saturday as Silvio Berlusconi resigned as Italian premier, ending a tumultuous 17-year political era and setting in motion a transition aimed at bringing the country back from the brink of economic crisis.
周六貝盧斯科尼辭職后，意大利民眾高唱 “哈利路亞” 贊歌，慶祝貝盧斯科尼17年混亂執(zhí)政生涯的結(jié)束，以及旨在挽救經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)的過渡政府的成立。

Berlusconi stepped down amid jeers, cheers and heckles of "Buffoon" from thousands of people who packed downtown Rome to witness his government's downfall after a stunning week of market turmoil that upended his defiant hold on power and threatened to tear apart the eurozone.
迎接貝盧斯科尼辭職的是上千意大利民眾的嘲笑、歡呼和 “小丑” 的質(zhì)問。這些民眾聚集在羅馬市中心總統(tǒng)府廣場，只為見證貝盧斯科尼政府的垮臺。在過去難熬的一周里，嚴(yán)峻的經(jīng)濟(jì)混亂挑戰(zhàn)了貝盧斯科尼的政權(quán)統(tǒng)治，也為歐元區(qū)帶來了分裂的威脅。

貝盧斯科尼其人：現(xiàn)年75歲的貝盧斯科尼出生于意大利米蘭，大學(xué)法律系畢業(yè)，他是意大利著名企業(yè)家和首屈一指的富翁。貝盧斯科尼依靠建造商業(yè)住宅起家，上世紀(jì)70年代轉(zhuǎn)向媒體行業(yè)發(fā)展，創(chuàng)建多家私人電視臺，逐漸成為意大利最具影響的媒體大亨。1986年他收購了意大利著名足球俱樂部AC米蘭。貝盧斯科尼馳騁意大利政壇17年，飽受性丑聞和腐敗傳聞的困擾。
