英国政府

A recent poll reveals that 59% of the British public do not want the government to replace Trident.

最近的一项民意调查现实，百分之五十九的英国民众不希望政府升级这个系统。

In the event, the US and the UK were among a number of countries that abstained from voting to approve the loan, indicating that the government's triumphalist and nationalistic stance since its defeat of the Tamil Tigers has not gone down well with the international community.

此次事件中，在反对投票通过该项贷款的国家中就有美国和英国，此举表明兰卡政府的必胜主义和民族主义姿态并没有随着泰米尔猛虎的失败而淡出国际社会的视野。

Timeless, classic songs wrecked by tuneless, howling drunks: the karaoke machine is the most annoying gadget in Britain, a survey for the government found.

They are also a reminder of how some of Labour's bolder policies have become uncontroversial features of British life.

Currently the NHS in England is projecting a year end underspend of around 1.7bn12 and foundation trusts are reporting cash balances of 2.5bn.13 These sums are piffling relative to the government's 387bn (around 27% of UK gross domestic product) financial support package.

目前英格兰的国家卫生事业局正在计划今年年底少支出17亿英镑左右，而且基础信托报告称现金余额为25亿英镑。这些款项是相对政府的3870亿英镑（约27％的英国国内生产总值）的财政支持方案来说是微不足道的。

The relations between London and Reykjavik are almost as frosty now as they were then, with the prime minister using the most undiplomatic of language and threatening to sue the government of Iceland.

For 30 years I have been travelling to unfree places, from East Germany to Burma, and writing about them in the belief that I was coming from one of the freest countries in the world.

然而这几年我认识到，在英国，自由、隐私、人权就像刀刃下的肉肠一样被逐渐削去，而持刀的正是声称自由乃不列颠历史之核心的新工党政府。

Such liberal thought as survived the success of the Revolution carried on the spirit of Locke's philosophy most truly in respect to religious toleration…With some lip-service to Locke, Whiggism in the eighteenth century represented quite subsidiary elements of his Treatise: that the powers of government remain indefeasibly in the organs where they have once been placed…and that government is at bottom a balance of the vested interests of the realm: crown, landed aristocracy, and corporations…The monopoly of power by the landowning class was contrary not only to Locke's theory of individual rights but also to his theory of the importance of property in general 496-497

当然，理论与现实的距离永远存在。洛克思想的复杂性也决定了其影响的复杂性。比如在英国，18世纪的辉格党虽口头上标榜洛克的学说，但实际上却采用了他的一些次要思想，如关于政府权力一旦确定，就不可取消地永远由该机构所拥有的思想；而权力的平衡归根到底却成了王国既得利益势力、王室、土地贵族和公司的权力平衡，其中土地所有者阶级垄断权力的状况也违反了洛克关于一般个人权利，特别是关于财产权利的学说（《思想史》，192-193；《自由主义》，180）。

Can I say how delighted I am to be away from the calm of Westminster and Whitehall?

能暂时逃离英国国会与政府大楼的平淡无奇，我的喜悦之情真的是难以言表。

But we don't care about Battlegrounds.

但我们并不在乎沙场中的显露。

Ah! don't mention it, the butcher's shop is a horror.
