外交部發言人汪文斌7月28日在例行記者會上宣布，中方決定香港特別行政區暫停港加、港澳、港英《移交逃犯協定》和《刑事司法互助協定》。

Canada, Australia and Britain, on the pretext of China's passage of the law on safeguarding national security in the HKSAR, have unilaterally suspended their respective agreements with Hong Kong on fugitives transfer, grossly interfered in China's internal affairs, and seriously violated international law and basic norms governing international relations, Wang said, noting that China firmly opposes this.
汪文斌說，近日，加拿大、澳大利亞和英國以中國制定香港特區維護國家安全法為借口，單方面宣布暫停與香港特區簽訂的《移交逃犯協定》。此舉粗暴干涉中國內政，嚴重違反國際法和國際關系基本準則，中方對此堅決反對。

【單詞講解】

這里的unilaterally來源于形容詞unilateral，即“單方面的，單邊的”，比如：take unilateral action（單方面采取行動）。在外交領域常用的相關詞匯還有：bilateral（雙邊的，雙方的），比如：bilateral relations（雙邊關系），bilateral trade agreement（雙邊貿易協定）等；multilateral（多邊的，多方面的），比如：multilateral agreements（多邊協議），multilateral trade talks（多邊貿易談判）等。

He added that with the assistance and authorization of the central government, the HKSAR has actively rendered assistance to Canada, Australia and Britain in accordance with the HKSAR Basic Law and within the framework of the treaties.
他表示，一直以來，香港特區在中央政府協助和授權下，根據基本法，在《協定》框架下向加方、澳方和英方提供了積極協助。

The politicization of judicial cooperation with HKSAR by Canada, Australia and Britain has severely damaged the foundation for the HKSAR to carry out judicial cooperation with the three countries and has deviated from safeguarding justice and the rule of law via judicial cooperation, Wang said.
加方、澳方和英方將對港司法合作政治化的錯誤行徑，嚴重損害了香港特區同加拿大、澳大利亞和英國之間開展司法合作的基礎，偏離司法合作維護正義和法治的宗旨。

【單詞講解】

固定搭配deviate from something表示“偏離（之前的計劃、路線等）”，比如：He planned his schedule far in advance, and he didn't deviate from it. （他提前很久就安排好了日程，而且一直沒有變動。）He was determined to become a doctor and never deviated from that ambition. （他的志向是成為一名醫生，矢志不渝。）

Therefore, the Chinese side has decided to suspend the HKSAR's fugitives transfer agreements and agreements on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters with Canada, Australia and Britain, Wang said.
為此，中方決定香港特區暫停港加、港澳、港英《移交逃犯協定》，同時決定，香港特區暫停港加、港澳、港英《刑事司法互助協定》。
