London(CNN)— The tectonic plates of British politics have shifted after Britons resoundingly voted to put an end to 14 years of Conservative rule, and deliver a landslide victory for the Labour Party.

在英国人响亮地投票结束保守党14年的统治并为工党带来压倒性胜利之后,英国政治的构造板块发生了变化。


Labour’s victory is bigger than the party could have imagined until fairly recently. At the last general election in 2019, it slumped to its worst defeat in more than 80 years and appeared set for a long period in the political wilderness.

工党的胜利比该党直到最近才想象的要大。在2019年的上一次大选中,它跌至80多年来最严重的失败,似乎将在政治荒野中长期存在。


But the party has since rebuilt itself under the leadership of Keir Starmer, who will now become the next prime minister of the United Kingdom.

但此后,该党在基尔·斯塔默(Keir Starmer)的领导下重建了自己,他现在将成为英国的下一任首相。




近年来,英国保守党首相的更换迅速,从左到右依次为:利兹·特拉斯(Liz Truss)、里希·苏纳克(Rishi Sunak)、鲍里斯·约翰逊(Boris Johnson)和特蕾莎·梅(Theresa May),他们都于去年11月在伦敦举行的国家纪念仪式上合影。理查德·波勒/路透社



At 44 years old, Sunak leaves office as the youngest ex-prime minister for well over a century. He became prime minister just seven years after becoming an MP — shorter than any other recent occupant of Downing Street. 

现年44岁的苏纳克卸任,是一个多世纪以来最年轻的前首相。他在成为国会议员仅七年后就成为首相,比唐宁街最近的任何其他住户都要短。
