In John Healey’s bright Treasury office, overlooking St James’s Park, the artwork has not changed since his predecessor(前任), Rachel Reeves, selected a row of Bridget Riley prints in her feminist(女权主义的) rehang. Judging by(根据……来判断) the signals emerging from No 11(唐宁街11号,英国财政大臣官邸) about the chancellor’s 28 October budget, not much else has changed either.
在约翰·希利明亮的财政部办公室里,俯瞰着圣詹姆斯公园,自从他的前任雷切尔·里夫斯在女权主义重新挂画时挑选了一排布里奇特·莱利的版画以来,这里的艺术品一直没有改变。从唐宁街11号传出的关于财政大臣10月28日预算的信号来看,其他方面也没有太大变化。
Voters listening to Andy Burnham’s promises to overthrow(推翻,颠覆) 40 years of neoliberalism and vanquish(彻底击败,征服) the ghost of Margaret Thatcher(玛格丽特·撒切尔,英国前首相) would be excused for expecting a radical(激进的,根本的) policy reset. Early signs suggest they may be disappointed.
选民们听到安迪·伯纳姆承诺推翻40年的新自由主义、战胜玛格丽特·撒切尔的幽灵,他们若期待一场激进的政策重置,也是情有可原的。但早期迹象表明,他们可能会失望。
Healey will give a speech about growth policy on Monday in his bluff(直率而友善的), reassuring style, less than six months on from Reeves’s Mais lecture. He is expected to lean heavily on(严重依赖,大量借鉴) two of her favourite themes: investment and devolution(权力下放).
希利将于周一就增长政策发表演讲,风格直率而令人安心,此时距里夫斯的梅斯讲座不到六个月。预计他将大力借鉴她最喜欢的两个主题:投资和地方分权。
