When the British government announced sweeping sanctions on trade with illegal Israeli settlements and condemned “ethnic cleansing” in the West Bank by state-backed “settler terrorists”, some EU diplomats hoped this dramatic shift in UK government policy towards Israel would have a galvanising effect on the rest of Europe.(当英国政府宣布对与以色列非法定居点的贸易实施全面制裁，并谴责由国家支持的“定居者恐怖分子”在约旦河西岸进行“种族清洗”时，一些欧盟外交官曾希望英国对以政策的这一戏剧性转变能对欧洲其他国家产生激励效应。) So far, it has not.
当英国政府宣布对与以色列非法定居点的贸易实施全面制裁，并谴责由国家支持的“定居者恐怖分子”在约旦河西岸进行“种族清洗”时，一些欧盟外交官曾希望英国对以政策的这一戏剧性转变能对欧洲其他国家产生激励效应。但迄今为止，并未出现这种效果。
Although France and Canada joined the UK in pledging(承诺，保证) to ban goods from illegal settlements and impose sanctions on “those who facilitate(促进，为……提供便利) them or profit from them”, there has not yet been a wider ripple effect(连锁反应，涟漪效应).
尽管法国和加拿大与英国一道承诺禁止来自非法定居点的商品，并对“那些为其提供便利或从中获利的人”实施制裁，但尚未产生更广泛的连锁反应。
A meeting of EU foreign affairs ministers on Monday is likely to showcase(展示，展现) the bloc’s stasis(停滞，僵局) in policy towards Israel – a stalemate(僵局，僵持) that is at odds with(与……不一致，与……相矛盾) rising public criticism in Europe of Israel’s government.
周一举行的欧盟外长会议很可能将展示该集团对以政策的停滞状态——这种僵局与欧洲公众对以色列政府日益高涨的批评格格不入。
