The appointment of Mark Carney as governor of the Bank of England is a historic event. It is extraordinary – and admirable – that a country should choose to give its most important official position to a foreigner such as Mr Carney, even if Canadians are not very foreign and the governor-designate, with his English wife and connections, less so than most of his compatriots. Yet it is also both a surprise and a gamble. It is a surprise because Mr Carney, a widely respected governor of the Bank of Canada, did not – so far as I know – apply for the job. It is a gamble because a foreign national will be assuming a job that is inescapably political and, in the current difficult economic and financial circumstances of the UK, even more political than usual.
任命马克·卡尼(Mark Carney)为英国央行(BoE)行长,是一个历史性事件。即便加拿大人也是大英女王的子民,而且这位新任行长娶了位英国太太,在英国有很多亲朋好友,比大部分加拿大人与英国更亲近,但一个国家选择这样一位外国人担任其最重要的官方职位,仍是非同寻常和令人钦佩的。不过,这个任命依然令人意外,也是一场赌博。它之所以令人意外,是因为(据我所知)这位广受尊敬的加拿大央行(Bank of Canada)行长没有主动申请成为英国央行行长。它之所以是一场赌博,是因为一名外国公民将出任一个不可避免地带有政治性的职位,而且考虑到英国当前艰难的经济和金融形势,该职位的政治性更甚往常。
