A 78-year-old British widow who has lived in Sweden for 21 years is fighting deportation(驱逐出境) from the country after authorities told her a post-Brexit(脱欧后的) application to stay had been submitted too late.
一位78岁的英国寡妇在瑞典生活了21年，在当局告知她脱欧后的居留申请提交过晚后，她正在抗争被驱逐出境。
Her case is the latest of 2,500 British people ordered to leave the country after Brexit in what campaigners and the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) have said is an inexplicably(令人费解地) hardline(强硬的) approach taken by the Swedish authorities. It comes two years after Sweden threatened to deport a British woman with dementia(痴呆症) in a care home shortly before she died.
她的案件是脱欧后2500名被勒令离境的英国人中的最新一例。活动人士和英国外交、联邦及发展事务部（FCDO）称，瑞典当局采取了令人费解的强硬路线。两年前，瑞典曾威胁要将一名患有痴呆症的英国妇女从养老院驱逐出境，而该妇女不久后便去世了。
Joyce Thomas, a retired nurse, was given just four weeks to leave Sweden in November, three years after her husband had died, causing huge distress(痛苦，忧虑).
乔伊斯·托马斯是一名退休护士，她的丈夫去世三年后，于去年11月被勒令在仅四周内离开瑞典，这给她带来了巨大的痛苦。
