Margot Wallstrom told the BBC² a domino effect of demands for referendums and requests for preferential terms by member states could follow.

玛戈特·瓦尔斯特伦接受BBC采访时表示，英国脱欧公投将引发多米诺效应，其他国家也将选择公投或提出特别要求。

"The spill-over effect will be unfortunately felt, deeply³ felt," she said. "It would be bad either way."

她说：“无论怎么看，英国一旦脱离欧盟的不幸连锁效应都将是深远和巨大。”

瑞典外长发出警告 英国脱欧将导致欧盟解体

The referendum in the UK will take place on 23 June. A poll⁴ for the Independent newspaper suggested that the Leave campaign⁵ had 10-point lead.

英国脱欧公投将于6月23号在英国举行。《独立报》近日公布的民调显示，支持“脱欧”的民意已领先十个百分点。

Ms Wallstrom said if the UK voted to leave, other countries could follow.

瓦尔斯特伦表示，如果英国最终离开，其他国家也可能会跟随。

"That might affect other EU member states that will say: 'Well if they can leave, maybe we should also have referendums and maybe we should also leave,'" she told the BBC's This Week's World programme.

她接受BBC《这周世界》节目采访时表示：“这可能会影响到其他欧盟成员，他们会说：'如果英国可以离开，也许我们也该公投，我们也该离开。'”。

Ms Wallstrom said she hoped the UK would remain in the EU, saying Britain was an important trading partner for Sweden and there were 90,000 Swedes living in the country.

瓦尔斯特伦表示，她希望英国继续留在欧盟，英国是瑞典重要的贸易伙伴，有9万瑞典人居住在英国。

"It will be just a matter of insecurity, and industries don't like insecurity," she said.

她说：“（英国脱欧）这将引发风险，而企业不喜欢风险，”。
