On Friday morning, South Korea's Constitutional Court voted to remove President Park Geun-hye from office, upholding her impeachment by the legislature in December. 星期五上午，韩国宪法法院投票罢免总统朴槿惠，支持12月立法机构对她的弹劾。 Acting Chief Justice Lee Jung-mi read the unanimous ruling from the eight-member panel on national TV, saying Park committed "acts that violated the Constitution and laws" and that "betrayed the trust of the people and were of the kind that cannot be tolerated for the sake of protecting the Constitution." The judicial and legislative ouster, a first for South Korea, caps a scandal involving Park, her childhood friend Choi Soon-sil, and some of the country's biggest business executives. 代理首席法官李贞美通过国家电视台宣读了八位法官的一致裁决，她表示朴槿惠“违反了宪法和法律”并且“辜负了人民对她的信任；为了保护宪法，她是不能被容忍的那一类人。”这次司法与立法机关（对总统）的罢免在韩国（历史上）还是第一次，相关丑闻中涉及朴槿惠、她的童年好友崔顺实以及几位韩国最大的商业集团的高层。 |
