Introduction

The European Parliament has a new law. This law helps the EU send people back to their own countries faster.

歐洲議會通過了一項新法律，旨在幫助歐盟更快地將人員遣返回原籍國。

Main Body

Many people do not leave the EU after the government says they must go. Now, the EU will build special centers in other countries. The EU will send people to these centers first. The police can also take people's things and keep them in jail for two years.

許多人在政府要求離開後仍不願離開歐盟。現在，歐盟將在其他國家建立特殊中心，首先將人員送往這些中心。警方也可以沒收人員的財物，並將其監禁兩年。

Many politicians in the EU want these rules. They say it makes the EU safe. But some other people are angry. They say these rules are not fair and hurt human rights.

歐盟許多政治人物支持這些規定，稱其能讓歐盟更安全。但也有其他人感到憤怒，認為這些規定不公平且侵害人權。

Countries like Germany and Greece want to start this by 2026. They might work with countries like Egypt or Tunisia. But this is hard to do. Other countries tried this before and it did not work.

德國和希臘等國希望在 2026 年前開始實施。他們可能會與埃及或突尼西亞等國合作。但這很難實現，因為其他國家之前嘗試過，但並不成功。

Conclusion

The EU now has stricter rules for migration. They want to move the process to other countries, but some people disagree.

歐盟現在對移民採取更嚴格的規定。他們希望將流程移至其他國家，但有些人並不贊同。

Notice the sentence: "They might work with countries..."

Use might when you are not 100% sure. It is a 'maybe' word. It turns a fact into a possibility.
