旨在解决德拉姆克里游行争议的谈判最终以无果而终；北爱尔兰事务大臣克里斯·布莱恩特将当前局势形容为“进退维谷”的境地。
Talks aimed at resolving the Drumcree parade dispute have broken up without agreement, with Northern Ireland secretary Chris Bryant describing the situation as being between a “rock and a hard place”.
关于这场争议性游行的法律诉讼原定于周一进行。此前，在希尔斯伯勒城堡举行的深夜谈判中，橙色军团（Orange Order）的代表与加瓦吉路（Garvaghy Road）的居民代表未能达成任何共识，谈判因此失败。
A legal appeal over the contentious march is now scheduled for Monday, after unsuccessful late-night negotiations at Hillsborough castle with representatives from the Orange Order and Garvaghy Road residents on the fifth day of the standoff.
这场争议始于上周：自1998年以来，游行委员会首次批准在以民族主义者为主的加瓦吉路上举行游行活动，但这一决定遭到了新芬党（Sinn Féin）的强烈谴责，他们称这一决定“荒谬至极”。
The dispute began last week after the march along the mainly nationalist Garvaghy Road was given the go-ahead by the Parades Commission for the first time since 1998 a decision denounced by Sinn Féin as “madness”.
支持英国政府的橙色军团一直试图按原定路线举行游行，但遭到警方阻拦；与此同时，由居民和民族主义抗议者组成的联盟也封锁了该路线，表示反对游行的举行。
The Portadown District of the unionist Orange Order has been attempting to walk the route but have been turned back by police while a coalition of residents and nationalist protesters have blocked the route, expressing opposition to the march going ahead.
本周早些时候，各方曾试图通过谈判打破僵局，但布莱恩特在周四对记者表示：“我们尚未达成任何协议，这确实令人遗憾。不过，我的大门依然敞开，无论是明天还是未来的日子里，我们都会继续努力。”
Talks to break the deadlock over the controversial Drumcree parade were launched earlier in the week, but on Thursday Bryant told reporters “we haven’t come to a settled agreement and it’s a shame but my door remains open obviously, tomorrow and in future days.
“我们讨论了多种方案，包括调解方式，以及‘尊重游行权利但不允许实际举行游行’的方案，还有‘仅举行一次游行、今后不再申请类似活动的方案’等。然而，我们在这些方案上仍未达成一致。”
“We’ve discussed a wide range of options, including mediation, including an option where the right to march was respected but wasn’t exercised, including an option where there was a final march and no further applications for marches into the future, and we’ve not managed to come to agreement on any of all that.”
此前由居民发起的关于游行许可的法律诉讼原定于周五审理，但为了给谈判更多时间，审理时间被推迟到了周一。
The legal bid over the parade decision which was launched by residents had been due to be heard on Friday but was postponed until Monday to allow talks to continue.
橙色军团的忠诚派活动家兼法律顾问杰米·布莱森（Jamie Bryson）表示，他们将接受周一的法律裁决结果；同时他也呼吁加瓦吉路的居民：如果他们的申诉失败，就应该接受这一结果并停止抗议活动。
Loyalist activist and legal adviser to the Orangemen Jamie Bryson said they will accept the determination of the legal appeal on Monday as he challenged residents of Garvaghy Road to commit to walking away if their bid fails.
在周四晚间的谈判无果而终后，布赖森在发言时表示：“我们向加瓦吉路（Garvaghy Road）居民提出的挑战是——他们周一将前往上诉法院——如果上诉法院维持这一裁定，请承诺遵守法律并撤离，我们也会这样做。”
Speaking after the talks ended without agreement on Thursday night, Bryson said: “The challenge that we would put down to the Garvaghy Road residents – they’re going to the court of appeal on Monday – if the court of appeal upholds this determination, commit to accepting the law and walk away, and we’ll do the same.
“遵守法律，如果上诉法院维持裁定，就离开道路，停止违法行为，并允许游行继续进行，”布赖森说道，并补充称：“如果我们输了，我们会接受这一结果。”他当时陪同波塔当（Portadown）地区负责人奈杰尔·道森（Nigel Dawson），后者声称他们有“沿着加瓦吉路行进的权利”。
“Abide by the law, and if the court of appeal upholds the determination, get off the road, stop breaking the law, and allow the parade to go ahead,” Bryson said, adding “If we lose, we’ll accept that.”He was accompanying Portadown District master Nigel Dawson, who said they had a “right to walk down the Garvaghy Road”.
加瓦吉路居民联盟的布伦丹·麦克·基纳斯（Breandán Mac Cionnaith）告诉记者，布莱恩特希望居民和奥兰治兄弟会（Orange Order）达成协议，但他认为“现实情况是”根本不存在“折中游行”这种事。
Breandán Mac Cionnaith, of the Garvaghy Road Residents’ Coalition, told reporters Bryant wants residents and the Orange Order to reach agreement but contended that “the reality is” there is “no such thing as half a march”.
他说：“要么有游行，要么没有游行——就是这么简单。”麦克·基纳斯此前曾表示，如果奥兰治兄弟会也支持周三谈判中提出的建议，居民们也会支持——但这一提议遭到了拒绝，民主统一党（DUP）议员卡拉·洛克哈特（Carla Lockheart）向英国新闻联合社（Press Association）表示，该协议“不可接受”。
He said: “There’s a march, or there’s not a march – simply that.”Mac Cionnaith had previously said residents would back proposals which emerged from talks on Wednesday if the Orange Order also did so – but this was rejected with DUP MP Carla Lockheart telling the Press Association the deal was “not acceptable”.
布莱恩特还受到14名美国国会议员的敦促，要求他利用职权取消此次游行。
Bryant was also urged to use his powers to cancel the parade by 14 members of the US Congress.
包括理查德·尼尔（Richard Neal）和布伦丹·博伊尔（Brendan Boyle）在内的美国国会爱尔兰之友核心小组表示：“如果不采取果断行动，我们就有可能重新开启北爱尔兰历史上最痛苦的篇章之一，并破坏《贝尔法斯特协议》（Good Friday Agreement）所带来的近三十年的和平、稳定与和解。”与此同时，北爱尔兰警务委员会获悉，北爱尔兰警察局（PSNI）围绕此次游行争议的行动支出已超过300万英镑。
The Congressional Friends of Ireland Caucus, including Richard Neal and Brendan Boyle, said: “Without decisive action, we risk reopening one of the most painful chapters of Northern Ireland’s history and undermining nearly three decades of peace, stability and reconciliation made possible by the Good Friday Agreement.”Meanwhile, the Northern Ireland Policing Board heard the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) operation around the parading dispute has topped £3m.
上周末，在针对游行委员会允许德拉姆克里（Drumcree）游行沿加瓦吉路进行的裁定所提出的法律挑战失败后，警方部署了大规模的警力行动。
A major policing operation was put in place at the weekend when the court challenge to the determination by the Parades Commission to allow the Drumcree parade to proceed along the Garvaghy Road failed.
虽然显性警力部署有所减少，但警方将波塔当的局势描述为“依然充满挑战且复杂”，并表示尽管紧张局势非常严重，但并未发生暴力事件，也无人受伤。
While the visible policing presence has reduced, police described the situation in Portadown as “remaining challenging and complex”, but said despite very significant tensions, there has been no violence and nobody has been injured.
