11 pm local time on January 31 (7 am on February 1st, Beijing time) , Britain officially left the EU and became history The first member state to leave the European Union.
This also put an end to the process of Brexit that lasted for more than three years-during this period, the United Kingdom went through a referendum, two advance elections and three prime ministers; the deadline for “Brexit” was also postponed Many times-“Brexit”, originally scheduled for March 29, 2019, was pushed back by nearly a year in a tug-of-war between the EU, the British Prime Minister and the British Parliament.
After today, the relationship between Britain and the European Union will not change much immediately. The UK will enter a transitional period during which the UK and the EU will negotiate 11 months and possibly longer negotiations on follow-up issues.
This may be why, although British Prime Minister Boris Johnson gave very optimistic expectations in his speech, he still did not declare a final victory.
At the moment when Brexit came to an end, we translated Johnson ’s speech to the British people 1 hour before Brexit and produced a major event for Brexit.
“This is not the end, but the beginning.” Johnson said in his speech.
The following is the full translation of the speech
Tonight, we will leave the European Union.
For many people, this is a shocking and hopeful moment, a time when they thought they would never cometime.
Of course, many people feel anxious and frustrated.
And, there’s a third kind of people here-perhaps the most-and they’re starting to worry that this political dispute will never end.
I understand all these feelings. Our job as the government-and my job is to unite the whole country and lead us forward.
What I want to emphasize tonight is that this is not the end, but the beginning. This is the dawn of dawn and a new stage in our great national repertoire.
Of course, to a certain extent, this is also the time to use new power-regained sovereignty-to achieve the changes supported by the popular vote.
Whether it is by controlling immigration, establishing free ports, liberating our fisheries, or reaching free trade agreements; or just making laws and regulations for the benefit of the people of this country.
Of course, I think this is correct, healthy, and democratic.
Because of the advantages and admirable qualities of the European Union, more than 50 years have passed and its direction has become unsuitable for this country.
This judgment was confirmed by you, the people, in the vote. Not once, but twice.
However, this moment is more than that. It is not just liberation in the legal sense, it may also be a moment of national revival and change.
This is the dawn of a new era. In this era, your chances of living-your family’s chances of living-should not depend on where in the country you grew up.
This is the moment when we really start to unite. We will fight crime, transform our national healthcare system, provide better education, and develop superior technology.
With the resurgence of the largest infrastructure since the Victorian era, we will spread hope and opportunity to every corner of the UK.
If we can do this, I believe that over time, our confidence at home and abroad will gradually increase.
In our diplomacy, in our fight against climate change, in our campaign for human rights, women’s education, or free trade, we will rediscover forces we haven’t used for decades—independent thinking and The power of action.
This doesn’t
