Andy Burnham said he wanted to “rewire(重连；重新布线)” the economy. Then he seemed to slam on the brakes(猛踩刹车；突然停止), kicking most reforms into the 2030s.
安迪·伯纳姆曾表示，他希望“重连”经济。但随后他似乎猛踩刹车，将大多数改革推迟到了2030年代。
Local government reorganisation is on hold(搁置；暂停), along with an overhaul(彻底改革；大修) of the much-maligned(备受诟病的) water industry. Social care and significant welfare reform are matters to be resolved(有待解决的事项) by the next government.
地方政府重组被搁置，备受诟病的水务行业改革也同样暂停。社会护理和重大福利改革则留待下届政府解决。
A delay is understandable when the issues are knotty(棘手的；复杂的) and plans on the left to replace the word “rewire” with “renationalise(重新国有化)”, stir up accusations(激起指责) of taking Britain back to the 1970s. And yet delay is unnecessary when the knowledge is available now to get on with the kind of changes that rebuild public trust in time for a 2029 election.(然而，既然现在已有知识来推进那些能在2029年大选前重建公众信任的变革，推迟就毫无必要。)
当问题棘手，且左翼计划将“重连”一词替换为“重新国有化”，引发将英国带回1970年代的指责时，推迟是可以理解的。然而，既然现在已有知识来推进那些能在2029年大选前重建公众信任的变革，推迟就毫无必要。
