VOA常速英语2021--英国首相约翰逊与未婚妻举行"秘密婚礼"

（单词翻译）

Demonstrations¹ were held in several countries on Saturday in solidarity² with the Belarusian opposition³ movement. Protesters took to the streets of Krakow and Warsaw, Poland, while in Ukraine, about 100 Belarusians in Kiev held up old white-red and white Belarusian flags - a symbol of the opposition - and chanted slogans including "Freedom to the motherland" and "Long live Belarus." The rallies are a show of support for the opposition-minded Belarusians who fear repression⁴ following the arrest of a dissident journalist whose plane was forcibly diverted to Minsk earlier this week. The European Union has banned flights from the country, leaving opposition-minded Belarusians with few options to get out from under the authoritarian⁵ rule of President Alexander Lukashenko. For his part, Lukashenko spent Saturday with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who said that his country will move ahead with a second $500 million loan to Belarus next month. Russia promised Belarus a $1.5 billion loan last year as part of Moscow's efforts to stabilize⁶ its neighbor. Minsk received a first installment⁷ in October.

周六，一些国家举行了声援白俄罗斯反对派运动的示威游行。波兰的抗议者走上波兰克拉科夫和华沙的街头，而在乌克兰，大约100名白俄罗斯人在基辅高举象征反对派的白红白相间的旧白俄罗斯国旗，并高呼“祖国自由”和“白俄罗斯万岁”等口号。这些集会是对持反对意见的白俄罗斯人的支持。此前在本周早些时候，一名持不同政见的记者所乘飞机被强行转飞明斯克后遭逮捕，白俄罗斯反对派也担心自己会遭到镇压。欧盟已经禁止了白俄罗斯的航班，这使得持反对意见的白俄罗斯人几乎无法逃离亚历山大·卢卡申科总统的独裁统治。卢卡申科与俄罗斯总统普京共度了周六，普京表示，俄罗斯将于下月向白俄罗斯提供第二笔5亿美元贷款。俄罗斯去年承诺向白俄罗斯提供15亿美元贷款，作为莫斯科稳定邻国局势努力的一部分。明斯克在10月份收到了第一笔分期付款。
