模仿文本: Now 300 years ago this year the Spanish government ceded1 the Rock of Gibraltar to Britain under the terms of the treaty of Utrecht. Gibraltar's been a bone of contention2 ever since though. Britain and Spain may be friends, fellow members of the European Union but they seldom see eye to eye over the Rock. The latest spat3 is over a reef that Gibraltar authorities are building.
译文: 300年前,根据《乌特勒支条约》的规定,西班牙政府把直布罗陀山割让给了英国。自此,直布罗陀就成了争议的焦点。尽管英国和西班牙也许看似很友好,又都是欧盟成员国,但在直布罗陀问题上就几乎从没看对眼过。最近的一次冲突源自直布罗陀当局正在建造的一个人工岛礁。
