英國脫歐新詞：悔脫

上周五，英國脫歐公投結(jié)果出爐，脫歐派獲勝，緊接著，首相卡梅倫宣布辭職。這一來，英國人可慌了。很多人表示，我之所以投Leave是因?yàn)橛X得我這一票不會起什么作用，沒想到竟然成真了。

于是，推特上很多人發(fā)起了#REGREXIT的話題，對那些選了Leave的人進(jìn)行嘲諷。

As global stock markets tumbled and the value of the pound plummeted to a 30-year low following the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union, it appears that some people are now having serious regrets.
英國公投離開歐盟的結(jié)果出爐后，全球股市震蕩，英鎊跌至30年來最低水平，而有些人似乎也開始后悔了。

The #REGREXIT hashtag began trending on Twitter on Saturday morning, just as a petition calling for the country to hold a second referendum on its membership in the European Union passed 2.5 million signatures. The total now stands at 3 million.
當(dāng)?shù)貢r間周六早上開始，推特上開始出現(xiàn)#REGREXIT話題，與此同時，英國民眾發(fā)起請愿，要求就舉行第二次脫歐公投，當(dāng)天的簽名以及超過250萬，如今已經(jīng)征集到300萬個簽名。

Regrexit是在Brexit的基礎(chǔ)上衍生出來的，是regret和exit兩個詞結(jié)合而成，意即“后悔離開”，在這里我們也可以直接用“悔脫”來表示。

As Brexiters realise full implications of voting out commences, I hereby declare today the 25th June as Regrexit Day...#REGREXIT
脫歐派真正意識到自己投票可能帶來的后果之時，我宣布6月25日為“悔脫日”。

Tweeters vented their anger on a variety of themes. Some of those who voted “l(fā)eave” said they now felt betrayed and wish they could turn back time and opt to remain. Others called out those same “l(fā)eave” voters for choosing to exit the EU without having done the proper research:
網(wǎng)友們紛紛在推特上表達(dá)憤怒。有些投了Leave的網(wǎng)友表示感覺自己被忽悠了，希望能重新選擇一次。另外一些人則指責(zé)這些投了Leave票的人在投票之前沒有做功課：

People who voted to leave, and now “regret it” because they “didn’t think it would happen”, should have their rights to ever vote revoked...
那些投了Leave票現(xiàn)在又后悔的人，說他們“沒想到真的會發(fā)生”，這些人應(yīng)該被永久剝奪投票權(quán)...

To the man on @BBCNews in Manchester who voted leave but is now “shocked” that his vote mattered and is now “worried”, well done sir. Moron.
BBC新聞里那個，說投了Leave，看到結(jié)果以后很“吃驚”，沒想到自己的那一票會起作用，然后現(xiàn)在很“擔(dān)憂”的人，干得漂亮。蠢貨。

Multiple people have reportedly admitted they didn’t actually understand what they’d been voting for, either believing they were registering a protest vote against the government or just presuming that the “l(fā)eave” campaign would never win.
很多人都表示并不清楚他們?yōu)槭裁赐镀保械娜艘詾槭窃跒榉凑棺h登記，還有人覺得脫歐派肯定不會贏。

此次脫歐還出現(xiàn)了一大批英語新詞，比如： Italeave(Italy+leave)， Departugal(depart+Portugal）， Czecheout(Czech+out)， Finish(Finland+finish)。

不過，最有才的要數(shù)Scotlond（Scotland+London）。在結(jié)果公布后，很多蘇格蘭人非常失望，表示要重啟蘇格蘭獨(dú)立、加入歐盟的進(jìn)程。很多人還暢想蘇格蘭和這次同樣選擇留歐的倫敦一起獨(dú)立，成立一個新的國家：蘇格倫。
