Albertans are going to the polls(前往投票) to decide their place in Canada, in a referendum(公投) that has exposed deep divisions within the province, not least(尤其、特别是) in the separatist(分离主义者) movement itself.
阿尔伯塔人即将前往投票站，决定本省在加拿大中的位置。这场公投暴露出省内的深刻分歧，分离主义运动内部尤其如此。
On Monday, voters will respond to the question of whether(就……问题作出回答) Alberta should remain in Canada, or hold a second, binding(有约束力的) independence referendum.
周一，选民将就一个问题作出回答：阿尔伯塔应当继续留在加拿大，还是举行第二次具有约束力的独立公投。
A minority have long argued that separation is the only way to address their belief that Alberta is short-changed by its financial relationship with Ottawa, and prevented from fully exploiting the province’s vast fossil fuel reserves.(少数人长期主张，分离是解决他们不满的唯一途径：他们认为阿尔伯塔在与渥太华的财政关系中吃了亏，且无法充分开发本省庞大的化石燃料储量。)
长期以来，少数人一直主张，分离是解决他们心中不满的唯一途径：他们认为，阿尔伯塔在与渥太华的财政关系中吃了亏，本省庞大的化石燃料储量也因此无法充分开发。
