As one of many hundreds of thousands of people in the UK with a parent with Alzheimer’s(阿尔茨海默病), the passage in Andy Burnham’s speech about social care moved me to tears(让我感动落泪).
作为英国数十万父母患有阿尔茨海默病的人之一，安迪·伯纳姆演讲中关于社会护理的那段话让我感动落泪。
My mother had not even been diagnosed(被诊断) when I watched Theresa May announce her 2017 general election manifesto(宣言) in a hall in Halifax – with care funding at its heart.
我母亲当时甚至还未被确诊，而我就在哈利法克斯的一个大厅里看着特蕾莎·梅宣布她2017年的大选宣言——其核心正是护理资金问题。
Almost a decade of political neglect(忽视) later, and Mum has now been in a care home for three years, with the funding coming overwhelmingly from our family’s own resources(费用绝大部分来自家庭自己).
在近十年的政治忽视之后，母亲如今已在护理院住了三年，而费用绝大部分来自我们家庭自己的积蓄。
