Good morning. “Settlement should not be automatic, it should be earned,” home secretary Shabana Mahmood told the Commons yesterday as she unveiled a radical shake-up of the rules governing how long foreign workers and refugees have to wait before they are granted the right to live in the UK indefinitely.(内政大臣沙巴纳·马哈茂德昨日在下议院公布了对规则的彻底改革，这些规则涉及外国工人和难民在获得英国无限期居留权之前必须等待多久。她表示：“定居不应是自动的，而应是挣来的。”)
早上好。内政大臣沙巴纳·马哈茂德昨日在下议院表示：“定居不应是自动的，而应是挣来的。”她同时公布了对相关规则的大刀阔斧改革，这些规则涉及外国工人和难民在获得英国无限期居留权之前必须等待多长时间。
What Mahmood insisted was a “fair solution” that would cut welfare spending by billions had been characterised as the first serious test of whether Andy Burnham could keep the left of the Labour party in line, after the original plans were met with outrage from backbenchers, migrants rights groups and unions.(马哈茂德坚称这是一个将削减数十亿福利支出的“公平解决方案”，但此前原计划遭到后座议员、移民权利组织和工会的强烈抗议，因此该方案被视为对安迪·伯纳姆能否管住工党左翼的首次严峻考验。)

In the event(结果；事实上) she avoided outright(彻底的；公开的) revolt, but was accused of watering down(淡化；弱化) more punitive(惩罚性的) proposals to appease(安抚；平息) her party critics, while charities are furious at stringent(严格的；苛刻的) new requirements for refugees, and legal experts warned retrospective(追溯的；有追溯效力的) rule changes now faced by many migrant workers undermine the rule of law(破坏法治).
结果她避免了公开反叛，但被指责为安抚党内批评者而弱化了更具惩罚性的提案。与此同时，慈善机构对难民面临的新严苛要求感到愤怒，法律专家警告说，许多移民工人现在面临的追溯性规则变化破坏了法治。
