There is a recession on. It can be fatal for politicians, moreover, when their errors are colourful or smack of satire—just ask Douglas Hogg, a Tory grandee who announced he would not stand for re-election after it emerged that he had billed Parliament for, among other things, the cleaning of his moat.

这对于政客而言是致命的，尤其，当他们所犯的错误不止一种或有讽刺意味时——Douglas Hogg就是个很好的例子，他已宣布在下次大选时辞去议员职位，这个保守党的贵族竟让议会给其别墅的清洁费买单，腐败可见一斑。

无论如何，政客只不过也是人，而人总是在撒谎，要么没有恶意，要么就是习以为常。

During the 1990s she embodied everything that conservatives hate about female professionals: a bossy harridan who disparaged stay-at-home mothers, tried to reorganise the health-care system that makes up one-seventh of the American economy, and stayed with her tom-catting husband to further her political ambitions.

在90年代，作为一个女政客，她集齐了保守人士讨厌的方方面面：刁蛮泼辣，蔑视做家庭主妇，试图重组占有国民经济七分之一的福利系统，原谅她那个绯闻不断的风流丈夫，以实现自己的政治野心。
