　　第一位同新上任的美国总统唐纳德·特朗普举行会谈的外国元首是英国首相特蕾莎·梅。上周，她对华盛顿进行了访问。梅还表示，英国女王伊丽莎白二世已正式邀请特朗普总统对英国进行国事访问。

　　A state visit is a very formal event. A foreign leadergets a grand welcome from Britain's royal family. There's a banquet at Buckingham Palace, ahorse drawn carriage procession plank by soldiers.

　　国事访问是非常正式的活动。外国领导人将受到英国皇室的隆重欢迎。英国白金汉宫会举行宴会，英国士兵还将进行马车游行。

　　President Trump's invitation is unusual in that visit would happen later this year. No U.S.president has ever made a state visit to the U.K. in his first year in office.

　　特朗普总统此次受邀很不同寻常，因为特朗普将于今年晚些时候访问英国。而此前没有美国总统在执政第一年就对英国进行国事访问。

　　美国前总统巴拉克·奥巴马在执政两年多以后才访问英国。前总统乔治·沃克·布什在执政两年半以后才正式访问英国。

　　There are a more than a million signatures on a British petition calling for President Trump'sstate visit to be cancelled. Many Britons are protesting President Trump's executive orderconcerning immigration and refugees. There's also a counter-petition in support of Trump'svisit that got more than 100,000 signatures. The invitation will now be debated in Britain'sparliament.

　　英国有超过100万人在请愿书上签字，呼吁取消英国对美国总统特朗普发出的国事访问邀请。许多英国人对特朗普总统签署的与移民和难民有关的行政令表示抗议。另外，英国也有超过10万人支持特朗普访英。这一邀请将在英国议会进行辩论。

　　Prime Minister May says President Trump's invitation stands. It's one many examples of theexceptionally close ties that Britain and America have shared for decades.

　　但是英国首相梅表示，不会取消对特朗普总统的邀请。这是英国和美国数十年来保持“特别亲密关系”的其中一个例证。
