BARCELONA - Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont and other regional politicians signed a document declaring Catalonia’s independence from Spain, but it was unclear if the document would have any legal value.

　　巴塞罗那——加泰罗尼亚主席卡尔斯与其他区域政治家签署了一份宣布加泰罗尼亚脱离西班牙独立的文件，但是尚不清楚文件是否拥有任何法律价值。

　　"Catalonia restores today its full sovereignty," says the document, called "declaration of the representatives of Catalonia."

　　文件称：“加泰罗尼亚今天恢复全部主权。文件名为《加泰罗尼亚代表声明》。

　　"We call on all states and international organisations to recognise the Catalan republic as an independent and sovereign state. We call on the Catalan government to take all necessary measures to make possible and fully effective this declaration of independence and the measures contained in the transition law that founds the republic."

　　“我们呼吁所有国家和国际组织承认加泰罗尼亚共和国是一个独立的主权国家。我们呼吁加泰罗尼亚政府采取一切必要的手段，使得这份声明和包含建立共和国过渡法的手段可行并且完全生效。”

　　Puigdemont told the assembly earlier that the effects of the declaration would be suspended to allow time for talks to reach a negotiated solution to the standoff over the northeastern region.

　　早些时候，卡尔斯告诉集会，声明将延期生效，为东北地区对峙通过对话获得协商解决预留出时间。
