布鲁塞尔，11月6日 - 比利时首相巴特·德韦弗将于周五与国王会面，以确定他是否会辞职或继续留任，此前预算谈判破裂引发政府危机。
BRUSSELS, Nov 6 - Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever will meet the king on Friday to determine whether he will resign or continue in office after the collapse of budget negotiations sparked a government crisis.
德韦弗周一上午在与菲利普国王的90分钟会面中提出了辞职。王宫表示，比利时君主将考虑德韦弗的辞职请求，但也将于周二至周四与联盟伙伴领导人进行磋商。国王预计将于周五上午再次会见德韦弗。
De Wever offered his resignation in a 90-minute meeting with King Philippe on Monday morning. The palace said the Belgian monarch would consider De Wever's offer, but would also consult the leaders of the coalition partners from Tuesday to Thursday. The king is due to meet De Wever again on Friday morning.
在周四的议会会议上，德韦弗暗示他更倾向于留任而非离开，称他仍希望达成一份能为未来几年带来财政稳定的预算。
In a parliamentary session on Thursday, De Wever hinted that he was more inclined to stay on than go, saying that he still hoped to secure a budget that could bring financial stability for the coming years.
“我们需要摆脱过去的管理不善，开启责任时代。我只想成为一把该任务置于首位的政府的首相，”他说，并补充说他并未排除与现任联盟进行新一轮谈判的可能性。“我们将看未来几天和几周事态如何发展，”他说。
"We need to rid ourselves of past mismanagement and bring in an era of responsibility. I only want to be prime minister of a government that prioritises that task," he said, adding he did not rule out a new round of negotiations with the current coalition. "We will see how things evolve over the coming days and weeks," he said.
一年前也有先例，当时德韦弗就联邦预算谈判中的问题向国王汇报，随后给联盟伙伴设定了圣诞节前达成协议的期限。
There is also precedent from a year ago when De Wever reported back to the king about problems over the federal budget negotiations, subsequently giving his coalition partners a Christmas deadline to reach an agreement.
比利时面临的挑战是筹集100亿欧元（约合112.3亿美元）以稳定财政，但一些政党主张应通过削减预算实现，而另一些政党则认为需要增加税收。
Belgium's challenge is to find €10 billion ($11.23 billion) to stabilise its finances, but some parties say that should be achieved with budget cuts, while others say tax increases are required.
这场危机与金融市场压力加剧同时发生，比利时、法国及其他被视为政府财政薄弱的欧洲国家的政府债券利率急剧上升。
The crisis coincides with heightened stress on financial markets, where interest rates have risen sharply on government bonds of Belgium, France and other European countries seen to have weak government finances.
欧盟委员会5月预测，比利时今年的债务占国内生产总值比率将达到110.5%，在欧元区国家中仅次于希腊、意大利和法国，预计一般政府赤字将占国内生产总值的5.2%。
The European Commission forecast in May that Belgium's debt-to-gross domestic product ratio would be 110.5% this year, behind only Greece, Italy and France among euro zone countries, with a projected general government deficit of 5.2% of GDP.
周四晚间，比利时10年期基准国债收益率为4.25%，而法国为4.79%，德国为3.24%。四个月前，比利时10年期国债收益率为3.48%。
Belgium's 10-year benchmark bonds were trading at a yield of 4.25% late on Thursday, against 4.79% for France and 3.24% for Germany. Four months ago, Belgian 10-year yields were at 3.48%.
