真文艺：英国脱欧，人们作诗表态

To be in the European Union, or not to be? That was the question.

留欧，还是脱欧？这是一个问题。

After the United Kingdom voted on Thursday to leave the EU, many of its citizens are now turning to poetry to deal with the uncertain aftermath.

上周四英国举行了脱欧公投，对于祸福难料的脱欧后果，很多英国公民都写诗来表达他们的忧虑。

As a petition calling for a second referendum gained momentum and #regrexit officially became a thing, the #WriteAPoemAboutBrexit hashtag also started to trend on Twitter.

随着请求进行第二次公投的呼声越来越高涨，#悔脱欧 成为了一大话题，#为英国脱欧写首诗 这一话题标签也开始在推特上风靡起来。

Hundreds of people have now penned rhymes to express their feelings on the Brexit, with the majority (but not all) lamenting the vote to leave. Here are some of the best:

现在，数以百计的人都写诗来表达对英国脱欧的心情，大多数 The people have spoken,

With voices ignorant and loud.

We're abandoning humanity,

I've never been less proud.

我们正在抛弃人道，

我从来未曾如此失望。
