The digital Brexit countdown clock in Boris Johnson's office at No. 10 Downing St. reads 00 Days, 00:00:00 in red digits. The U.K. has left the EU.
在唐寧街10號，鮑里斯·約翰遜辦公室的數字脫歐倒計時時鐘上，紅色的數字顯示出00天00點00分。英國已經脫離歐盟。
Even after an astonishing Supreme Court ruling in September that he illegally suspended Parliament,
即使在九月最高法院對他非法暫停議會之后做出了驚人的裁定，
the prime minister ignored a law forcing him to ask the EU for a delay and delivered Brexit anyway.
但首相對于強迫他要求歐盟延遲并實施脫歐這項法律予以忽視。
His final pitch to extract concessions at an Oct. 17 summit ended in failure, leaving no alternative: It had to be no-deal.
他在10月17日的峰會上做出讓步的最后一次努力以失敗告終，這讓英國別無選擇：只能是無協議脫歐。
He said it during his leadership campaign, and he meant it—the country would leave the EU on schedule, "do or die."
他在領導競選期間說了這番話，他是認真的，英國將如期脫離歐盟，“脫歐或坐以待斃”。
As the clock strikes zero, the prime minister isn't in his office.
當時鐘敲過零時，首相不在他的辦公室。
Instead, he's at 70 Whitehall, ensconced in a cabinet office briefing room (or Cobra), the British government's nerve center during emergencies.
而是在70號的英國政府白廳，在內閣辦事處的情報室（也叫眼鏡蛇緊急計劃委員會），這是英國政府處于緊急情況下的中心部門。
Operation Yellowhammer, the code name for the no-deal Brexit contingency plan, is in full swing.
黃鹀行動計劃（Operation Yellowhammer）是無協議脫歐應急計劃的代號，該計劃正在緊鑼密鼓地進行著。
A deal would've given the U.K. a grace period to prepare for life outside the EU.
該協議將給與英國一個寬限期，讓其為脫離歐盟之后的生活做好準備。
Instead, the immediate rupture has left the country alone on the world stage for the first time since the early 1970s.
而這瞬間的破裂讓英國自20世紀70年代初以來，第一次獨立站在世界舞臺之上。
It's gone from being the gateway to Europe to an isolated nation stripped of major trading relationships.
它從一個通往歐洲的門戶，變成失去主要貿易關系的孤立國家。
