Former UK PM David Cameron has stood down as an MP, triggering a by-election in his Oxfordshire seat of Witney.

前英国首相大卫·卡梅隆辞去议员职务，促使牛津郡威特尼选区举行递补选举。

Mr Cameron, 49, who resigned as prime minister after June's EU referendum, said he did not want to be a "distraction" for new PM Theresa May.

49岁的卡梅隆先生于6月英国脱欧公投后辞去首相职务，（这次）他表示自己不想“干扰”新首相特丽莎·梅。

He said Mrs May had "got off to a cracking start", while she praised his "great strides" on social reform.

他说，梅夫人“创造了一个精彩的开端”，而梅夫人也称赞了卡梅隆在社会变革上为英国带来的“巨大发展”。

Speaking in his constituency, he said it had been a "great honour" to be an MP for the area, but said it would be difficult for him to remain on the backbenches without becoming "a big distraction and a big diversion" from the work of the new government.

他在选区的演讲中表示，能够成为这个地区的议员是“莫大的荣幸”，但是，对他来说，继续作为普通议员而不成为新政府工作中的“巨大干扰”会有些困难。

He denied his announcement was related to the government's moves towards allowing new grammar schools, a policy he rejected as PM.

他否认了自己辞职与政府允许建立新文法学校的政策有关，在他任职首相期间，他曾驳回过这个政策。
