  缅甸民主党派新议员不参加就职宣誓

  Burmese Democracy Party Skips Parliament Opening

  Burma’s parliament reopened Monday with newly elected democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi and 42 others in her National League for Democracy party refusing to take their seats in a dispute over the oath of office.

  缅甸议会星期一复会。

  Also Monday, the European Union suspended long-standing trade and economic sanctions against Burma for one year in response to political reforms in the Southeast Asian nation.

  民主领袖昂山素季和她所属的全国民主联盟的42名新议员对就职誓词有异议, 拒绝入座。

  NLD party officials say their contingent will not take their seats in parliament until the oath is changed so that they need not swear to protect a constitution written by the former military junta.

  同样在星期一,欧盟把针对缅甸的长期贸易和经济制裁暂停一年,作为对这个东南亚国家政治改革的回应。

  Party spokesman Nyan Win told reporters Monday he believes the issue will be resolved quickly.

  全国民主联盟的官员表示,他们的代表团不会就座,除非修改誓词,使他们不需要宣誓捍卫前军政府撰写的宪法。

  The NLD wants the oath changed so its parliamentarians are required to "respect" the constitution rather than "safeguard" it.

  全国民主联盟发言人年温星期一对记者表示,他相信这个问题很快会得到解决。

  But the ruling party has so far refused.

  全国民主联盟要求将誓词修改成“尊重”宪法,而不是要求他们“捍卫”宪法。

  President Thein Sein, visiting Tokyo, told reporters Monday he has no plans to change the wording of the oath, but insisted he will never reverse the ongoing democratization process.

  但是执政党至今拒绝修改誓词。

  正在出访东京的缅甸总统吴登盛星期一对记者表示,他没有改变誓词措辞的计划。

  但吴登盛坚持说,他永远不会逆转正在进行的民主化进程。
