If a boat is in difficulty less than 50 miles off the coast of Britain or the Republic of Ireland, the RNLI can send a lifeboat to rescue these people.

如果船只在离英国或者爱尔兰海岸50英里距离时处于困境，RNLT就会派出一艘救生艇拯救那些人。

In the Republic of Ireland, the U.K.and Japan, it's doubtful that even that qualifier would be enough to stymie the awkwardness.

在爱尔兰共和国、英国和日本，即使有这样的说辞在先，是否足以避免尴尬的情景也难说。
