LONDON — Britain got (another) new prime minister Monday: Andy Burnham.
伦敦——英国在周一迎来了（又一位）新任首相：安迪·伯纳姆。
The former mayor of Greater Manchester — who succeeded Keir Starmer as leader of the U.K.’s governing Labour Party last week — will shortly start naming his top team after being asked to form a government by King Charles III.
这位前任大曼彻斯特市长上周接替基尔·斯塔默成为英国执政党工党领袖，在接到查尔斯三世的组阁请求后，他即将着手组建其核心团队。
Burnham is Britain’s sixth prime minister in the past decade alone, and his appointment comes as the governing Labour Party gambles that another change at the top will turn around a polling deficit at the hands of right-wing populist Nigel Farage.
伯纳姆是过去十年间英国的第六位首相，而他的任命正值执政工党押注于高层更迭能扭转在右翼民粹主义者奈杰尔·法拉奇面前的民调劣势。
In his first speech in the job — delivered without notes or the customary lectern that previous new prime ministers have used — Burnham promised action on the cost of living within days, and a 10-year plan for government to follow later in the year. He said he would immediately order officials to work to end rough sleeping in the U.K.
在他的就任首秀中——全程未看讲稿，也摒弃了前任新任首相惯用的讲台——伯纳姆承诺将在数日内对生活成本采取行动，并将在年内稍晚时候推出为期十年的政府规划。他表示将立即指示官员们着手终结英国在街头痛风露宿的现象。
Andy Burnham has admitted he’s nervous about becoming prime minister.
安迪·伯纳姆承认，他在出任首相一事上感到紧张。
Speaking to broadcasters this morning before he became PM, Burnham said, “it’s obviously a big thing, to step up in this way, but I think you’ve got to have a degree of [nervousness]. If you weren’t, you wouldn’t be human.”
在今早正式成为首相前，他接受广播媒体采访说道：“显然，以这种方式跃升职位是件大事，但我想你必须得带点[紧张感]。如果你不紧张，那就不像人了。”
Burnham, who first became an MP in 2001, said he’s “been in politics a long time,” including nine years as Greater Manchester mayor, which will “make a difference in the way that I go about this role.”
伯纳姆于2001年首次当选议员，他表示自己“在政坛已经待了很久”，包括担任九年的大曼彻斯特市长，这“将改变我履行这一角色的方式”。
He concluded: “Of course the nerves are there, but I’m also confident in what I’m doing, in what I’m about, and as I say, I am ready.”
他总结道：“紧张感自然存在，但我对自己正在做的事、我所秉持的理念也充满信心，正如我所说，我已经准备好了。”
