Sir John Major has salvaged his reputation through the clever public-relations ruse of sitting around, mainly in The Oval, while history notices his good work. The high politics of his premiership has aged gracefully.
英国前首相约翰•梅杰(John Major,见上图)在闲坐时——大部分是在椭圆形体育场(The Oval)——想出的巧妙公关策略挽回了自己的声望,而历史记住了他的功绩。随着时间的推移,他担任首相期间的高阶政治显得越来越高明。
He kept Britain out of the euro. He established the fundaments of the Northern Ireland peace accord. He fought a war in the Gulf that did not become a protracted vision of hell.
他让英国留在了欧元区之外。他为达成北爱尔兰和平协议奠定了基础。他领导英国参加了海湾战争,而这场战争并未变成一幕漫长的噩梦景象。
Britain’s resurgence as an Olympic nation, its near-primacy in Rio trace-able to funds from a lottery he set up in 1994, polishes off his arc from national punchline to quiet respectability to the last retired prime minister who can walk into a pub without provoking a wince of pity or a citizen’s arrest.
英国重新崛起为一个奥运强国,借助梅杰在1994年设立的彩票所提供的资金在里约奥运的奖牌榜上名列前茅,成了他从全国笑料升华为受人默默敬重的前首相的弧线上的点睛之笔,如今他是可以信步迈入一家酒吧、而不致招来怜悯眼神甚至“公民逮捕”的最后一位退休首相
