在埃及軍方給總統(tǒng)穆爾西的48小時(shí)最后通牒到期后不久,埃及軍方宣布穆爾西下臺,最高憲法法院院長將代理總統(tǒng)一職,并稱埃及將盡快舉行大選。

Egypt's armed forces overthrew President Mohamed Morsi on Wednesday, sparking wild rejoicing in the streets at the prospect of new elections as a range of political leaders backed a new political transition.
埃及軍方于周三推翻總統(tǒng)穆罕默德?穆爾西,引來一片歡騰之聲,因多名政黨領(lǐng)袖支持新一輪政權(quán)過渡,埃及有望進(jìn)行新一輪總統(tǒng)選舉。
“推翻”政權(quán)在英文中常用的表達(dá)為overthrow/topple the president(government),如:Egypt’s army topples/overthrows president(埃及軍方推翻總統(tǒng)),總統(tǒng)拒絕辭職而被“罷免”則可用oust一詞來表示,如:Last week they tried to oust him in a parliamentary vote of no confidence(上周,他們試圖通過議會的不信任投票將他罷免)。軍方采取行動推翻政府的行為也被稱為“軍事政變”(military coup)。
在此之前,埃及軍方曾向穆爾西發(fā)出最后通牒(ultimatum),要求他在48小時(shí)內(nèi)同意與反對派聯(lián)合執(zhí)政(share power with his opponents)。穆爾西是埃及首位民選總統(tǒng)(freely elected president),但執(zhí)政一年以來,國內(nèi)政局動蕩(political upheaval)及經(jīng)濟(jì)停滯(economic stagnation)的狀況引發(fā)民眾不滿。
