Changing prime minister has become an all too familiar(再熟悉不过的) ceremony. On July 20th Sir Keir Starmer bade farewell and zipped(快速移动，疾行) from Downing Street to Buckingham Palace, with helicopters hovering above. Andy Burnham, the new prime minister, followed in reverse, heading from Buckingham Palace to Downing Street, where friends, family, allies and apparatchiks(（政党或政府的）官员，党羽) listened to his hopes for Britain.
更换首相已成为一场再熟悉不过的仪式。7月20日，基尔·斯塔默爵士告别并迅速从唐宁街前往白金汉宫，直升机在上空盘旋。新任首相安迪·伯纳姆则反向而行，从白金汉宫前往唐宁街，在那里，朋友、家人、盟友和党内工作人员聆听了他对英国的期望。
Then began the next stage: picking over every word(逐字逐句地审视). What did Mr Burnham mean when he called his government a “circuit-breaker(断路器，比喻中断机制)”? Was his target to eliminate rough sleeping(露宿街头) feasible? And most important: what will Mr Burnham do in his first 100 days?
随后进入下一阶段：逐字逐句地审视。伯纳姆先生称他的政府为“断路器”是什么意思？他消除露宿街头的目标可行吗？最重要的是：伯纳姆先生将在他的头100天里做什么？
At this point, the chuntering(嘟囔，抱怨) starts. Why judge a government that will run the country for years after only 100 days? Forget the first days, what about the next ten years? What better symbol of the ADHD-addled(被多动症困扰的) media environment that makes governing impossible? But whereas most media conventions can be dismissed, the first-100-days meme(文化基因，梗) cannot. It reflects a fundamental truth of British politics. The most consequential government actions happen almost immediately or not at all.(最具影响力的政府行动几乎要么立即发生，要么根本不会发生。)
此时，抱怨声开始响起。为什么要用一个只执政100天的政府来评判一个将治理国家多年的政府？忘了头几天吧，未来十年呢？还有什么比这更能象征那个让治理变得不可能的、被多动症困扰的媒体环境？但是，尽管大多数媒体惯例可以不予理会，但“头100天”这个梗却不能。它反映了英国政治的一个基本事实：最具影响力的政府行动几乎要么立即发生，要么根本不会发生。
