Austria said Tuesday it is ready to implement unspecified border protections if Germany enacts a set of stricter immigration controls its government announced Monday.
奥地利星期二说，如果德国政府实施星期一宣布的更严格的移民限制，奥地利也准备采取保护边界的措施。奥地利没有具体说明什么样的措施。
An Austrian government statement said it is "prepared in particular to take measures to protect our southern borders," which include those with Italy and Slovenia.
奥地利政府的一份声明说，它准备采取边界保护措施，尤其是在南部边界。奥地利南部与意大利和斯洛文尼亚接壤。
Germany's ruling coalition has been divided on the issue of immigration, with Chancellor Angela Merkel's party advocating a more welcoming stance while her Bavarian coalition partner argued for stricter controls over who is allowed into the country.
德国的执政联盟在移民问题上存在内部分歧。默克尔的政党主张对移民采取更欢迎的立场，但是巴伐利亚的联盟伙伴提出，应该对允许什么人进入德国采取更严格的限制。
The divide threatened to push Merkel to seek a new coalition or call new elections. But after hours of negotiations, she and Christian Social Union leader and Interior Minister Horst Seehofer both said they had agreed on a plan that worked for both sides.
这个分歧一度看来要迫使默克尔试图组成新的执政联盟，或宣布提前举行大选。但是经过数小时的谈判后，默克尔和基督教社会联盟领导人、内政部长泽霍夫说，他们就一项双方都可接受的协议达成了一致。
The agreement calls for establishing transit centers to hold asylum-seekers while their cases are evaluated. If they are found to have already applied for asylum in a different European Union country they would be sent back to that country, or to Austria, pending agreement with the Austrian government.
根据这项协议，要设立一些中转中心，在对庇护寻求者进行甄别的时候临时把他们安置在那里。如果发现有人已经在欧盟其它国家申请庇护，就将他们送到申请国，或送去奥地利，不过能否送去奥地利还取决于能否与奥地利政府达成协议。
