新闻主播：泰国宪政法院星期二（Sep.9）命令总理萨玛 撒达维辞职下台，声称他违反宪法，我们接着收看详细的情形。
STORY: The prime minister is being accused of breaking the law by hosting TV cooking shows while in office. Along with that, his driver had illegally accepted 80,000 baht ($2,320) for fuel and cooking ingredients from a private broadcaster.
新闻内容：泰国总理因任内主持电视烹饪节目而被控违反宪法，而且，他的司机违法收受私立广播公司八万泰铢(2320美元)燃料及食材费用。
[Chat Cholaworn, Thailand Court Judge]:
”The court has reached a unanimous decision that what the accused did had violated the constitution, resulting in the disqualification of Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej.”
法院达成无异议决定控诉总理确实违宪，因此萨玛‧撒达维不适合担任总理。
The verdict prompted some cheers from the People’s Alliance for Democracy, or PAD, who accuse Samak of being a puppet of Thailand’s former prime minister who was ousted by the army in a 2006 coup.
这项判决振奋人民民主联盟，他们指控萨达只是泰国前总理的傀儡，这位前总理在2006年政变时驱逐出境。
[Somsak Kosaisook, PAD Leader]:
”It is clear that Samak’s cabinet has been disqualified since the beginning, especially the prime minister. This is just a fact that we have always believed.”
人民民主联盟的领袖说：“很清楚萨达的内阁在一开始时就不适任，尤其是总理，我们一直都相信这个事实。”
The political stand-off has paralyzed the government and scared away visitors to the “Land of Smiles.” Airlines and hotels are reporting cancellations amid a flurry of travel warnings in the wake of the ongoing civil unrest.
这场政治僵局已使政府瘫痪，把观光客从“微笑乐园”吓走。在人民动乱时，航空公司及旅馆在旅游警示的一片混乱中取消营运。
