今天(7月23日),在一个多月的激烈斗争后,前伦敦市长鲍里斯·约翰森正式成为英国保守党党魁,当选英国首相。
After more than a month of racing, today (23rd Jul), former London Mayor Boris Johnson is officially elected as the new leader of the Conservative Party and became the next UK Prime Minister.
他的当选引起了一些部长的不满。两名部长已经辞职,也有另几位宣称将会因此递交辞呈。
His election has led to some discomfort among some ministers. Two have already resigned and some other claimed that they will turn in their resignation upon Boris’s election.
同时,新官上任,他就需要处理一些棘手问题,其中包括时限将近的脱欧、近日爆发的伊朗危机,和保守党内的一些管理问题等等,可谓是“内忧外患”。
As the next PM, Boris faces many tough situations, including the approaching Brexit, recent conflict with Iran, some inter-party management issues and etc., truly facing difficulties inside and outside of the country.
在我们关注已久的脱欧问题上,约翰森强硬坚持会带领英国在10月31日脱离欧盟,无论有没有一项协议。这与前任特丽莎·梅的政策大相径庭,可能会在党内引起又一轮争议。
On the Brexit issue which is still drawing lots of attention, Boris stated that ‘we are going to get Brexit done on 31 October’ with or without a deal. This statement is completely contrary to that of his predecessor, Ms. Theresa May, which may lead to another round of dispute inside the party.
