突发！刚刚，缅甸总统吴廷觉辞职！

The president of Myanmar Htin Kyaw has resigned, his office has announced.

缅甸总统府宣布，总统吴廷觉已经辞职。

No reason was given, but there have been growing concerns in recent months about the 71-year-old’s health after he appeared frail at official functions.

总统府并未给出理由，但人们在近几个月里愈加担忧71岁吴廷觉的健康问题，此前他在一些官方活动中显得虚弱。

Htin Kyaw was sworn in as president in 2016 after landmark elections which ended decades of military leadership.

在2016年的标志性选举后，吴廷觉宣誓就任总统，该选举结束了几十年的军方领导。

But he was essentially a ceremonial leader, with long-time opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi acting as de facto president.

但本质上，他只是礼仪上的领袖，反对派长期领导人昂山季素充当事实上的总统。

The statement posted on the presidency’s Facebook page said Htin Kyaw wanted to "take a rest".

上传到总统脸书页面上的声明表示，吴廷觉想要“休息”。

Vice-President Myint Swe, a former general, would act as president until a new president is chosen within seven days, it said.

曾是将军的副总统吴敏瑞将会担任总统，直至未来七天内新总统被选出。

Ms Suu Kyi, who was jailed for years under the military junta, was banned from taking the top job.

被军政府监禁多年的昂山季素被禁止就任这一最高职位。
