Two winners in the budget(预算) are known already. They are the National Wealth Fund and the British Business Bank, state-funded investment bodies(国家出资的投资机构) that have rapidly become central(核心的、至关重要的) to the government’s growth strategy.
预算中的两个赢家已经明朗。它们是国家财富基金和英国商业银行——这两家由国家出资的投资机构，已迅速成为政府增长战略的核心。
The former chancellor Rachel Reeves handed extra slugs(一大口；大笔（资金）) of capital to both and now John Healey is going further. The NWF will get another £15.4bn over the next half decade(五年), on top of(在……之上、除……之外) its existing £27.8bn, and there’ll be another £5bn for the BBB, which already has £25.6bn.
前财政大臣蕾切尔·里夫斯曾向这两家机构额外注入大笔资金，如今约翰·希利更进一步。国家财富基金将在未来五年再获154亿英镑，在其现有278亿英镑基础上追加；英国商业银行则将再获50亿英镑，它目前已有256亿英镑。
Expect a fanfare(大张旗鼓的宣传) about “over 100,000 jobs across the country to be created” via the extra capital for these so-called(所谓的) PuFins. The term means public financial institutions. They invest in private sector assets, either directly or through third-party funds, with the aim of making a profit for the taxpayer – or, at least, earning a return that matches or beats the government’s cost of borrowing.(它们直接投资或通过第三方基金投资私营部门资产，目的是为纳税人盈利——或者至少赚取与政府借贷成本相当甚至更高的回报。)
可以预料，围绕这些所谓的“PuFins”将有一番大张旗鼓的宣传，称追加资本将“在全国创造超过10万个就业岗位”。这个缩写指的是“公共金融机构”。它们直接投资或通过第三方基金投资私营部门资产，目的是为纳税人盈利——或者至少赚取与政府借贷成本相当、甚至更高的回报。
