Andy Burnham is far from(远非,绝不是) the first prime minister to dream of taming(驯服,制服) the power of the mighty(强大的,有势力的) Treasury.
安迪·伯纳姆远非第一位梦想驯服强大财政部权力的首相。
Boris Johnson all but(几乎,差一点) forced the resignation of Sajid Javid by handpicking(亲自挑选) his team; Margaret Thatcher favoured(偏爱,支持) her economic adviser Alan Walters over Nigel Lawson, prompting(促使,导致) the latter(后者)’s furious resignation; and Tony Blair and Gordon Brown’s power struggle was the stuff of(……的素材,成为……的典型) Whitehall(白厅,英国政府核心) legend.
鲍里斯·约翰逊通过亲自挑选萨吉德·贾维德的团队,几乎迫使其辞职;玛格丽特·撒切尔偏爱其经济顾问艾伦·沃尔特斯而非奈杰尔·劳森,导致后者愤然辞职;而托尼·布莱尔与戈登·布朗的权力斗争则是白厅的传奇。
Burnham’s approach harks further back still to Labour prime minister Harold Wilson’s Department for Economic Affairs (DEA), a short-lived(短暂的) attempt to bring long-term thinking to British economic policymaking(政策制定).
伯纳姆的做法更可追溯到工党首相哈罗德·威尔逊的经济事务部(DEA),那是一次短暂的尝试,旨在为英国经济政策制定引入长远思维。
