“一边大力推动脱欧，一边收着欧盟的补贴”

自从英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊上任以来，他“英国版特朗普”的形象广受热议。作为一名强硬脱欧派，约翰逊，乃至其身边的左膀右臂，都被大众和媒体关注。最近，约翰逊的特别顾问，也是脱欧的大力推动者，Dominic Cummings 多米尼克·卡明斯，就被大家指出他的虚伪性。
Boris Johnson’s controversial enforcer, Dominic Cummings, an architect of Brexit and a fierce critic of Brussels, is co-owner of a farm that has received €250,000 (£235,000) in EU farming subsidies, the Observer can reveal.
据观察家报透露，鲍里斯·约翰逊身边颇受争议的官员多米尼克·卡明斯，即英国脱欧策划主管和对欧盟的激烈批评家，同时也是一个农场的共同所有者。而该农场获得了25万欧元（235000英镑）的欧盟农业补贴。
The revelation is a potential embarrassment for the mastermind behind Johnson’s push to leave the EU by 31 October. Since being appointed as Johnson’s chief adviser, Cummings has presented the battle to leave the EU as one between the people and the politicians.
这一则被透露的讯息可能会让这位约翰逊脱欧的幕后策划者感到尴尬，而约翰逊正不断推动脱欧进程，并指望在10月31日前完成脱欧。自从被任命为约翰逊的首席顾问以来，卡明斯作为大众和政治家的中间人不断推动脱欧。
He positions himself as an outsider who wants to demolish elites, end the “absurd subsidies” paid out by the EU and liberate the UK from its arcane rules and regulations.
他将自己定位为想要打倒精英的局外人，结束欧盟所支付的“荒谬补贴”，并将英国从欧盟晦涩的规则和条例中解放出来。
But his critics say the revelation that Cummings has benefited from the system he intends to smash underscores how many British farmers are reliant on EU money that would evaporate if the UK leaves.
但批评他的人表示，卡明斯从他打算粉碎的制度中受益颇丰。这也意味着很多英国农民依赖欧盟的资金。一旦英国离开，这些资金就会消失。
An Observer analysis of Land Registry documents and EU subsidy databases reveals that a farm in Durham, which Cummings jointly owns with his parents and another person, has received roughly €20,000 a year for most of the last two decades.
根据观察家报对英国土地登记处资料和欧盟补贴数据库的分析显示，卡明斯与其父母和另一个人共同拥有的达勒姆农场在过去二十年的大部分时间里，每年收到大约2万欧元。

一方面大力推动脱欧，声称英国脱欧后可以给民众带来很多好处；另一方面又每年收到欧盟大数额的农业补贴。如此表里不一，难怪受到了大众和媒体的指责。

关于脱欧，想必大家都已是耳熟能详。下面的一些问题和答案或许可以再帮助我们理理头绪。
Why is Britain leaving the European Union?
A referendum - a vote in which everyone (or nearly everyone) of voting age can take part - was held on Thursday 23 June, 2016, to decide whether the UK should leave or remain in the European Union. Leave won by 51.9% to 48.1%. The referendum turnout was 71.8%, with more than 30 million people voting.
为什么英国要离开欧盟？
2016年6月23日（星期四）举行的公民投票——每个选民（或几乎每个选民）都可参加投票，以决定英国是否应该离开或继续留在欧盟，赢得了51.9％比48.1％的支持（脱欧）率。民众投票率为71.8％，投票人数超过3000万。
So is Brexit definitely happening？
As things stand, the UK is due to leave the European Union at 23:00 GMT on 31 October 2019. If the UK and EU ratify the withdrawal agreement before then, the UK will leave on the first day of the following month.
英国脱欧肯定会发生吗？
事实上，英国最晚将于格林威治标准时间2019年10月31日23:00离开欧盟。如果英国和欧盟在此之前就脱欧协议达成一致，英国将在协议后下一个月的第一天离开欧盟。
Why are so many MPs against it?
The backstop was a key sticking point for many MPs who voted down the deal. They feared it could leave Britain tied to the EU indefinitely with no say over its rules and no ability to strike trade deals with other countries.
为什么那么多英国国会议员会反对呢？
对于许多投票支持脱欧的国会议员来说，“保障措施”（以避免英国北爱尔兰地区和欧盟成员国爱尔兰之间出现“硬边界”）是一个焦点。他们担心这会使英国无限期地与欧盟联系在一起，并对欧盟的规则没有发言权，也没有能力与其他国家达成贸易协议。

下面让我们再看看外国网友对于这则新闻的反应：
@Sevultura:
我觉得关于英国脱欧最荒谬的事情之一，就是富人们把它当作有利于民众的事；而实际上脱欧会让他们变得更富裕，并能更有效地剥削别人。
@Exmoor for Europe:
脱欧后农民什么好处都没有，甚至很多会破产。但我不觉得卡明斯会在乎。
@KD#FBPE:
干得好！！这就是重点——卡明斯不真诚且不道德-不知感恩。赫塞尔廷（英国不支持脱欧的政治家）就不是这样的。
@dave:
狡猾的卡明斯。
