Hello all. I'm a beginner trying to read news articles in Chinese on BBC. Here's the part I'm having trouble understanding.
"美国和欧盟代表此前已经分别会见了受军方支持的埃及临时政府官员以及
被赶下台的总统穆尔西的支持者。"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/zhongwen/simp/world/2013/08/130805_egypt_mccain_graham.shtml
Here's what I gather so far:
"American and EU representatives have already previously left a meeting on accepting military aid for Egypt's provisional government"
But the last part has me confused, as well as the construction of the sentence. Is "总统穆尔西的支持者" "President Morsi's supporters?"
I'm not sure what "以及被赶下台" exactly means in this sentence.
I apologize in advance if this is quite basic I didn't realize how many characters I don't know until I started reading the news.
