◎ 茅毅
"Deserters" from the European Union will not be welcomed back with open arms, European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker has warned as Britain prepares to vote in a referendum on whether to stay in the bloc.
正值英國準備就續留歐盟與否舉行公投之際，歐盟執委會主席容克警告，一旦成為背棄歐盟的「逃兵」，將不再有人會張開雙臂歡迎其回家。
If Britain quits the EU it will have to get used to being considered an outsider, he told Le Monde newspaper in comments published Friday. "Deserters won’t be welcomed with open arms," he said. Britons will vote June 23 on whether or not to stay in the EU and the latest polls suggest the outcome is finely balanced.
容克在5月20日見報的法國「世界報」評論中寫道，要是英國退出歐盟，倫敦得習於被歐盟視為一個外人。他表示：「逃兵不會受到熱情歡迎。」英國選民6月23日將投票決定是否留在歐盟，而最新民調顯示，正反兩派勢均力敵。
"If the British were to say ’no’ (to staying in the EU), which I am not hoping for, life in the (European) community won’t go on as before," he warned. "The United Kingdom will have to accept being considered a third party, who we won’t be bending over backwards for. If the British quit Europe, then we and they are going to have to accept the consequences from that. That is not a threat, but our relations will no longer be as they are today," he added.
容克警告，「如果英國民眾（對留在歐盟）說不，也就是我一向不樂見的那樣，那麼在這個（歐洲）社群的日子就不會跟以前一樣」。他補充道：「聯合王國（即英國）得接受被視為第三者的事實，我們不會為了一個第三者而拚命。要是英國脫歐，那麼我們與他們得接受隨之而來的後果。這不是威脅，而是我們之間的關係將不再是現在這樣。」
Asked what would happen if Britain voted to stay inside the EU, he said the first thing would be to apply the deal that Brussels had agreed with British Prime Minister David Cameron. In February, Cameron thrashed out a reform deal with the EU which he said included significant concessions.
容克被問到，倘英國公投的結果是續留歐盟，又將如何？他回答，落實英國首相卡麥隆此前與布魯塞爾方面達成的協議，將是首要之務。卡麥隆今年2月曾與歐盟仔細商討出一項改革協議，並說該協議已納入了重大讓步。
