Justice William Ehrcke at the court hearing granted bail to Meng, subject to a guarantee of 10 million Canadian dollars (7.5 million US dollars), according to reports.
据报道,法官威廉・埃尔克批准了孟晚舟的保释,保释金为1000万加元(约合750万美元)。

Meng will also be subject to surveillance at her Vancouver home by a combination of security guards and technology as part of the agreement. She has also surrendered her passport.
根据保释协议,孟晚舟需在温哥华的家中接受安保人员以及电子设备监控,同时还要上交护照。

Bail这个词既可用作名词也可用作动词,表示“保释、保释金”等。法院“批准某人的保释申请”即grant/give bail to someone,也可以说release/free someone on bail,“某人获准保释”则是someone is released/freed on bail或者简单的someone is bailed。

经济危机期间,各国政府出台的经济援助计划也叫bailout plan。Bail用作动词的时候有一个常用的搭配就是bail out,指“帮助...摆脱困境”,比如:She keeps running up huge debts and asking friends to bail her out.(她债台高筑,只好找朋友帮忙脱困。)The EU is trying to bail out Greece.(欧盟正在努力帮助希腊走出危机。) 

华为回应

华为方面对此回应称,我们的CFO孟晚舟女士近期在被加拿大当局代表美国政府暂时扣留之后,今天法庭做出判决,同意保释。

We have every confidence that the Canadian and US legal systems will reach a just conclusion in the proceedings

我们相信加拿大和美国的法律体系后续会给出公正的结论。

华为表示,正如我们一直强调的,华为遵守业务所在国的所有适用法律法规(it complies with all applicable laws and regulations in the countries and regions where it operates),包括联合国、美国和欧盟适用的出口管制和制裁法律法规。我们期待美国和加拿大政府能及时、公正的结束这一事件。
