“Oh look at that, a gold disc(金唱片（销量认证）) of ‘The Queen is Dead’,” said Andy Burnham, offering a tour of his new Number 10 North office, pointing to a framed copy of the album by the Smiths, a Mancunian band. “I need to return that to Johnny Marr actually,” he said, namechecking(特意提及（某人名字）) the record’s guitarist.
“哦，看那个，一张《女王已死》的金唱片，”安迪·伯纳姆一边说，一边带人参观他位于北方的唐宁街10号新办公室，指着一张装裱好的史密斯乐队专辑——这支曼彻斯特乐队的作品。“其实我得把它还给约翰尼·马尔，”他说着，特意提到了这张唱片吉他手的名字。
Mr Burnham’s ascent to power(上台、掌权) has been accompanied by cheers from the music scene which the new prime minister so loves. Guy Garvey, the singer of Elbow and a DJ on 6 Music(BBC 6 Music 电台), the BBC’s indie music station, welcomed Mr Burnham’s rise: “Andy isn’t an ordinary man.” The Courteeners, another Manchester band, cheered him. Oasis, Manchester’s most famous export(输出品、出口物) beyond its football clubs, allowed him to play “Some Might Say” in his campaign videos.
伯纳姆先生的上台伴随着他所热爱的音乐界的欢呼。肘乐队主唱、BBC独立音乐电台6 Music的DJ盖伊·加维对伯纳姆的崛起表示欢迎：“安迪不是普通人。”另一支曼彻斯特乐队“宫廷少年”也为他喝彩。曼彻斯特最著名的输出品——除了其足球俱乐部之外——绿洲乐队允许他在竞选视频中使用《有人可能会说》这首歌。
What feels like a shift is nothing of the sort(绝非如此). An indie establishment has long held sway(占据主导地位) among British politicians who came of age(成年、成熟) in the 1980s, when the Smiths and co were in their pomp(处于鼎盛时期). Sir Keir Starmer loved the band, along with Orange Juice, another jangly(叮当作响的（吉他声）) indie group. When David Cameron appeared on “Desert Island Discs(《荒岛唱片》节目)”, where the British establishment pick their favourite songs, he chose tunes by the Smiths and Radiohead. Samantha Cameron, Lord Cameron’s wife, was such a fan of 6 Music that Downing Street press officers monitored the station’s news snippets to hear what she might mention to her husband over dinner.
看似一种转变，实则不然。独立建制派长期以来在1980年代成年的英国政客中占据主导地位，当时史密斯乐队等正处于鼎盛时期。基尔·斯塔默爵士喜欢这支乐队，也喜欢另一支叮当作响的独立乐队“橙汁”。当戴维·卡梅伦出现在《荒岛唱片》节目——英国建制派在此挑选他们最喜欢的歌曲——时，他选择了史密斯乐队和电台司令的曲子。卡梅伦勋爵的妻子萨曼莎·卡梅伦是6 Music的忠实粉丝，以至于唐宁街的新闻官员会监听该电台的新闻片段，以了解她可能在晚餐时向丈夫提起什么。
