CNN News: 津巴布韋軍事政變

There`s been a major change in the southern African nation of Zimbabwe. Its former president, Robert Mugabe, resigned last week. He`d been in power since 1980, and held on as president despite instituting policies that ruined the nation`s economy. Extended corruption, mismanagement of industries, food shortages -- they`re all part of Zimbabwe`s struggles.

南非國家津巴布韋發(fā)生重大變革。前總統(tǒng)穆加貝上周辭職。自1980年以來，穆加貝一直掌權，在其任職期間，制定的國家政策破壞了津巴布韋的經(jīng)濟。腐敗、工業(yè)管理不善、食物短缺——這些都是津巴布韋的難題。

But after President Mugabe fired his vice president earlier this month, other officials were afraid he was paving the way for his wife, Grace Mugabe, to take over. She`s also a controversial figure in Zimbabwe.

但是，在本月初，穆加貝總統(tǒng)本解雇了副總統(tǒng)之后，其他官員擔心他會為妻子格雷斯·穆加貝鋪平道路。雷斯·穆加貝在法國也備受爭議。

The military then took control of the nation`s capital and though it denied there was a coup, President Mugabe eventually resigned. His former vice president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, returned last week and took over as Zimbabwe`s interim leader.

軍方隨后控制了該國首都，盡管否認政變，但穆加貝總統(tǒng)最終還是辭職。前副總統(tǒng)Emmerson Mnangagwa上周返回，并擔任津巴布韋臨時領導人。

Mnangagwa made it clear he was part of the operation to unseat Mugabe. But he praised Mugabe in the speech, calling him a father, a mentor and a leader and urging Zimbabweans to let bygones be bygones.

Mnangagwa明確表示，他是推翻穆加貝的行動的一部分。但他在演講中贊揚了穆加貝，稱他為“父親”、“導師”和“領袖”，并敦促津巴布韋人讓過去的就“過去”吧。

New president, Mnangagwa, promised to protect Zimbabweans` rights and the push for solutions to the nation`s problems. But partly because he`s a long time ally of Mugabe, some of Mnangagwa`s critics doubt that he`ll be much different than his predecessors. Still, on the streets of the capital, there are signs of optimism.

新總統(tǒng)Mnangagwa承諾保護津巴布韋公民的權利，并推動解決國家問題的方案。由于其是穆加貝的長期盟友，Mnangagwa的批評者懷疑其是否會與之前的總統(tǒng)不同。但是在首都的街道上，也有樂觀的聲音。
