As global stock markets tumbled and the value of the pound plummeted to a 30-year low following the United Kingdom's vote to leave the European Union, it appears that some people are now having serious regrets.
英国公投离开欧盟的结果出炉后,全球股市震荡,英镑跌至30年来最低水平,而有些人似乎也开始后悔了。
The #REGREXIT hashtag began trending on Twitter on Saturday morning, just as a petition calling for the country to hold a second referendum on its membership in the European Union passed 2.5 million signatures. The total now stands at 3 million.
当地时间周六早上开始,推特上开始出现#REGREXIT话题,与此同时,英国民众发起请愿,要求就举行第二次脱欧公投,当天的签名以及超过250万,如今已经征集到300万个签名。
Regrexit是在Brexit的基础上衍生出来的,是regret和exit两个词结合而成,意即“后悔离开”,在这里我们也可以直接用“悔脱”来表示。
