樸槿惠被彈劾后韓國(guó)進(jìn)入大選模式

South Korea swung into election mode on Monday, a day after disgraced former leader Park Geun-hye departed from the presidential Blue House in Seoul.

韓國(guó)周一進(jìn)入大選模式，一天前，名譽(yù)受損的前總統(tǒng)樸槿惠(Park Geun-hye)離開首爾的總統(tǒng)官邸青瓦臺(tái)(Blue House)。

Her ouster by the country’s top court on Friday set in motion a new presidential election cycle, with polls expected on May 9.

韓國(guó)最高法院上周五罷免樸槿惠之舉，啟動(dòng)了新的總統(tǒng)選舉周期，預(yù)計(jì)大選將于5月9日舉行。

The race looks set to be dominated by Moon Jae-in, a former human rights lawyer from the opposition Democratic party, who has pledged to revisit the deployment of a US missile shield that has triggered growing tensions with China.

此次大選看上去將由前人權(quán)律師、來(lái)自反對(duì)黨共同民主黨(Democratic party)的文在寅(Moon Jae-in，見上圖)主宰，他承諾將重新評(píng)估美國(guó)導(dǎo)彈防御系統(tǒng)的部署問(wèn)題，該系統(tǒng)的部署導(dǎo)致韓國(guó)與中國(guó)的緊張關(guān)系加劇。

Meanwhile, South Korea’s ruling Liberty Korea party, for years a bulwark of conservatism in the east Asian nation, has found itself leaderless and in disarray.

與此同時(shí)，韓國(guó)執(zhí)政黨自由韓國(guó)黨(Liberty Korea party)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己失去領(lǐng)袖，處于混亂狀態(tài)。多年來(lái)，該黨在這個(gè)東亞國(guó)家一直是保守主義的壁壘。

The election comes at a critical juncture for South Korea, with many citizens believing the impeachment of Ms Park for alleged corruption and influence-peddling will pave the way for reform in the graft-ridden nation.

此次大選正值韓國(guó)走到一個(gè)關(guān)鍵路口，很多公民認(rèn)為樸槿惠因涉嫌腐敗和以權(quán)謀私遭到彈劾，將為這個(gè)腐敗猖獗的國(guó)家推行改革鋪平道路。

As she was departing the presidential residence late on Sunday, Ms Park struck a defiant tone in her first public statement since the impeachment verdict, saying “the truth will be definitely unearthed”.

在上周日晚離開總統(tǒng)官邸時(shí)，樸槿惠在彈劾裁決之后首次公開發(fā)表言論時(shí)表現(xiàn)出不屈服，稱“真相肯定會(huì)水落石出”。

Ms Park was ousted after weeks of mass protests prompted a parliamentary impeachment vote, which on Friday was upheld by the constitutional court.

在樸槿惠被罷免之前，為期數(shù)周的大規(guī)?？棺h導(dǎo)致議會(huì)舉行彈劾投票，上周五韓國(guó)憲法法院維持了投票結(jié)果。

From her private home in Seoul’s prosperous Gangnam district, she now awaits likely prosecution for alleged bribery and influence-peddling involving her long-time “shaman adviser” Choi Soon-sil.

樸槿惠目前住在首爾富人區(qū)江南地區(qū)的私宅，她現(xiàn)在等待著可能會(huì)因涉嫌受賄和以權(quán)謀私被提起公訴，這些罪名涉及她長(zhǎng)期的“薩滿顧問(wèn)”崔順實(shí)(Choi Soon-sil)。
