梅在唐宁街发表讲话时誓言将实现“人民投票支持”的脱欧，但表示自己听取了投票反对她的国会议员的担忧。

The secret ballot² was triggered by 48 of her MPs angry at her Brexit policy, which they say betrays the 2016 referendum result.

这次不记名投票由梅所在的保守党的48位议员发起，他们对梅的脱欧政策感到愤怒，称其背离了2016年公投的结果。

梅以83票的差距赢得信任投票，投票支持和反对梅的保守党议员比例分别为63%和37%。

The BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg said the level of opposition³ was "not at all comfortable" for the prime minister and a "real blow" to her authority.

英国广播公司政治编辑劳拉·库恩斯伯格称，这样的反对率对梅来说“一点儿也不轻松”，对她的威信是“沉重的打击”。
