今后将会发生什么情况呢?我发现这个问题从来没有比今天更难回答。因为,我曾坚信英国的政策方向很快将会完全倒转,而不仅是修修补补而已;但我实际上看到的却是,我们强硬而又固执的政府继续重申既定承诺,路线丝毫不变。我没有能力探究会导致政策发生巨大变化的政治条件的实质,所以,也许我能起的作用只是清楚地提出我所看见的问题。 What happens in the future? I find that this problem has never been harder to answer than today. For I have firmly believed that Britain’s policy direction will soon be completely reversed, not just tinkering; but what I actually see is that our tough and stubborn government continues to reaffirm its established commitment and its path remains unchanged . I am not capable of exploring the essence of the political conditions that will lead to a drastic change in policy, so perhaps I can only play a role that clearly sets out what I see.
