Cameron’s Last PMQs
卡梅伦最后的首相质询
虽然离任的剧情很感伤,但是卡梅伦的最后一次首相质询却似乎很愉快。
David Cameronkicked offPMQs by joking that the rest of his diary for the day was remarkably light. He also laughingly rejectedsuggestionsthat he did not like Downing Street cat Larry, holding up a photo of the two of them.
大卫·卡梅伦以一个玩笑为这次首相质询拉开帷幕,他说今天日记余下的部分将会十分轻薄。他还笑着反驳“他并不喜欢现在的第一猫咪拉瑞”的谣言,并用一张自己与拉瑞的合照作为证据。
(Suggestion的意思是“暗示”、“意见”,这里根据语境翻译成了“谣言”。)
"Do I have to go?" Larry sits on the step outside 10 Downing Street.
“我也都搬家吗?”拉瑞坐在唐宁街10号的台阶上时不禁深思。
不好意思,流水的首相铁打的喵,政府人员表示猫咪Larry是唐宁街的公务员,人家这饭碗比谁都铁,卡梅伦收拾收拾沙扬娜拉了,猫咪要跟着新首相梅姨继续它的小日子……
Mr. Cameron laughed with hissuccessoras Prime Minister Theresa May during the Commonsset-piecetoday
在下议院进行预先准备的质询期间,卡梅伦与他的继任者特蕾莎·梅·谈笑风生。
In a reference to his memorable jibe at Tony Blair in his first PMQs appearance in 2005, Mr Cameron said: ‘Nothing is really impossible if youput your mind to it. After all – as I once said – I was the future once.’
卡梅伦在质询中提到了他在2005年第一次进行首相质询时对托尼·布莱尔(前首相)的著名嘲讽。他说:“只要你用心做,没有什么是真的不可能的。毕竟,就如我曾经讲的,我也曾是英国的未来。”
'I came into Downing Street to confront our problems as a country and lead people through difficult decisions so wecould reach better times,'
“我当初进入唐宁街是为了替这个国家应对问题并领导人民作出艰难的决定,其目的是希望国家的未来会更好。”
