撒切爾夫人名言(1)

1975年12月,在柏林召開的歐洲共同體各國首腦會議上,進行了削減英國支付共同體經費的談判。各國首腦們原來以為英國政府可能希望削減3億英鎊,從談判階段實際出發,撒切爾夫人會首先提出削減

3.5億英鎊。所以,他們就在談判中,提議可以考慮削減

2.5億英鎊。估計這樣討價還價下來,可以在3億英鎊左右的數目上達成協議。可是,完全出乎各國首腦的意料,撒切爾夫人獅子大開口,報出了10億英鎊的高價,使首腦們瞠目結舌,一致加以堅決地反對。可撒切爾夫人堅持己見,在談判中,始終表現出不與他國妥協的姿態。共同體各國首腦———這些紳士們,簡直拿這位女士———鐵娘子,沒有任何辦法,不得不遷就撒切爾夫人,結果不是在

3.5億英鎊,也不是在

2.5億英鎊和10億英鎊的中間數———

6.25億英鎊,而是在8億英鎊的數目上達成了協議,即同意英國對歐洲共同體每年負擔的經費削減8億英鎊。撒切爾夫人用報高價的手法獲得了談判的巨大成功。

新聞熱詞：撒切爾“禮儀葬”等相關詞匯翻譯

　英國4月17日為撒切爾夫人舉行了 “禮儀葬禮”，而非“國葬”，但其葬禮以最高軍事榮譽禮儀舉行，并進行了電視直播。

　Downing Street announced that Britain"s first female prime minister would receive a ceremonial funeral, with gun carriage, military procession and a service at St Paul"s Cathedral, in the style of the funerals of Diana, Princess of Wales, and the Queen Mother.

　英國首相府宣布，將為英國首位女首相舉行“禮儀葬禮”，包括皇家乘騎炮兵部隊的炮車，軍隊列隊行進以及圣保羅大教堂的儀式，規格與英國已故王太后和戴安娜王妃的葬禮相同。

　　Ceremonial funeral(禮儀葬禮)一般來說只有王室家族的高層成員(senior members of the royal family)才能享受，而且舉辦禮儀葬禮需得到女王的首肯(the consent of the Queen)；而國葬(state funeral)則多為王室君主(sovereign as head of state)舉行，舉行國葬需要先在議會投票表決(motion or vote in Parliament)。禮儀葬禮比國葬要低一級，不過兩種葬禮通常都包括遺體告別儀式(lying in state)以及在威斯敏斯特教堂或圣保羅大教堂舉行的葬禮儀式(Westminster Abbey service or a service at St Paul"s Cathedral)。

英國此次為撒切爾夫人舉行的是帶有軍事榮譽的“禮儀葬禮”(a ceremonial funeral with military honours)。葬禮前一天，她的靈柩將被送至到國會大廈內的圣瑪麗教堂(Chapel of St Mary Undercroft in the Palace of Westminster，home to Britain"s Houses of Parliament)，葬禮當天，靈柩將由靈車(hearse)送至圣克萊蒙?戴恩斯教堂，之后被放至皇家乘騎炮兵部隊的炮車(gun carriage)由皇家乘騎炮兵部隊(King"s Troop Royal Artillery)引領沿街列隊行進，沿途會有三軍士兵(tri-service military personnel)和普通民眾瞻仰并表達哀思，最后到達圣保羅大教堂進行葬禮儀式(funeral service)。葬禮第二天，將會進行私人火化儀式(private cremation)。

一本記錄撒切爾夫人傳奇人生的傳記

Margaret?Thatcher—The?Authorised?Biography,Volume?I:?From?Grantham?to?the?Falklands.?ByCharles?Moore.

《瑪格麗特撒切爾授權傳記，卷一：從格蘭瑟姆市到福克蘭群島》作者：查爾斯摩爾

IT?HELPS?to?be?lucky?if?you?are?a?politician?and?Margaret?Thatcher?was?luckier?than?most:?luckythat?she?came?to?power?when?the?old?order?was?crumbling?and?lucky?that?her?opponents?wereso?feeble.?Now?she?is?proving?to?be?lucky?in?death.?First?came?a?semi-state?funeral?that?had?theBritish?establishment?on?bended?knee?and?the?British?public?out?on?the?streets;?now?comesthe?first?volume?of?an?authorised?biography?that?may?well?turn?out?to?be?one?of?the?great?livesof?modern?times.

政客運氣總是比常人要好。瑪格麗特撒切爾比大多數的政客運氣都還要好：在她上臺之際，舊秩序正值崩潰，而她的對手也不堪一擊。現在，她連死亡都是幸運的。首先是一個準國葬，葬禮上英國政要皆屈膝以示敬意，而英國民眾紛紛在沿街表達他們的悼念之情。現在則是她授權的傳記第一卷的出版發行，這部傳記很有可能成為現代最偉大的著作之一。

This?first?volume?takes?the?story?from?Mrs?Thatcher"s?childhood?above?a?grocer"s?shop?inGrantham?to?victory?in?the?Falklands?war?in?1982.?A?second?volume, “Herself?Alone”,?will?tell?therest?of?the?story.?Charles?Moore,?a?veteran?journalist?and?former?editor?of?the?weekly?Spectatormagazine?and?the?Daily?Telegraph,?is?proving?the?ideal?biographer.?He?has?spent?16?yearsreading?Mrs?Thatcher"s?private?papers,?to?which?he?had?unique?access,?and?interviewingeveryone?who?mattered.?But?he?also?possesses?the?literary?panache?to?bring?the?dullestsources?to?life.?He?is?close?to?his?subject?both?ideologically?and?personally.?But?he?alsoacknowledges?that?she?could?be?impossible,?and?often?was:?hectoring,?bullying?and?interfering.

在傳記中，第一卷講述了撒切爾夫人從格蘭瑟姆市一個零售商女兒成長為贏得1982年馬島戰爭的鐵娘子的故事。第二卷《她自己》將講述之后的故事。作為周刊《旁觀者》和《每日電訊報》的資深記者兼前任編輯，查爾斯摩爾就是一個完美的傳記作者。充分利用自己查閱撒切爾夫人私人文件的特權，摩爾花費了16年的時間來研究這些文件，并采訪每一個相關人員。但（所幸）他也擁有卓越的文學才華，能夠將最枯燥的材料寫得栩栩如生。無論在思想上，還是私人交情上，摩爾都與撒切爾夫人十分親近。但他也承認，她有時候的確很難應付，并且她通常喜歡頤指氣使、恃強凌弱、事事干涉。

The?first?200-odd?pages?are?hard-going.?As?a?person?rather?than?a?politician?she?is?of?limitedinterest.?She?had?no?intellectual?hinterland?and?was?quite?content?to?repeat?the?clichés?of?thestockbroker?belt.?If?she?had?a?sense?of?humour,?nobody?has?ever?found?it.?Mrs?Thatcher"s?earlycareer—from?the?scholarship?to?Oxford,?an?early?love?affair,?a?job?as?an?industrial?chemist?andher?first?forays?into?Conservative?politics—is?hardly?the?stuff?of?high?drama.?Mr?Moore?does?agood?job?of?evoking?the?atmosphere?of?post-war?Britain.?He?reveals?that?Denis?Thatcher,?whomshe?married?in?1951,?once?repaired?to?South?Africa?for?two?months?and?contemplated?divorcingher.?Still,?few?readers?will?wish?this?section?were?longer.

最開始200多頁的內容讀起來索然無味。褪去政治家身份的撒切爾，與常人并無異處。她沒有任何科研成果，并且滿足于重復富人區的陳詞濫調。她沒有幽默感。她的早年生涯—拿到牛津大學獎學金，年輕時的愛戀，工業化學家的工作，第一次闖進了保守黨陣營——都不是多少精彩的故事。在講述這段時間內的事情過程中，摩爾很好地營造了一種二戰后英國的氛圍。他大爆料， 1951年娶了她的丹尼斯撒切爾，曾經在南非呆過兩個月，考慮著是否要與她離婚。盡管如此，很少有讀者想繼續探究下去。

Things?really?take?off?with?Mrs?Thatcher"s?election?as?Conservative?Party?leader?in?1975.?MrMoore?brilliantly?reconstructs?the?drama?of?those?years.?He?reminds?the?reader?of?how?big?thestakes?were?in?everything?from?industrial?relations?to?the?Falklands?war.?Mrs?Thatcher?was?in?anextraordinary?position: “the?oldest,?grandest,?in?many?people"s?eyes?the?stuffiest?politicalparty?in?the?world?had?chosen?a?leader?whose?combination?of?class,?inexperience?and?sexwould?previously?have?ruled?her?out.”?But?Mr?Moore?avoids?the?luxury?of?hindsight.?Politicalevents?tumble?over?each?other.?Politicians?grope?about?in?the?dark.?Patterns?emerge?slowly.

1975年，撒切爾夫人被選為保守黨領袖，從這開始故事才變得有意思起來。摩爾十分精彩地重現了這段流光歲月。他向讀者展示了，從工業革命到馬島戰爭，所有事情都充滿著巨大風險。與其他首相相比，撒切爾夫人的處境不同尋常：“世界上歷史最悠久的、規模最龐大的、在許多人眼里最死板僵化的政黨，選擇了一位這樣的領導人：在此之前她會因為來自底層階級、缺乏經驗、身為女性，而被直接排除在外。”不過摩爾避免了大篇幅的“后知后覺”。畢竟，政治問題之間總會有沖突，政客們也是摸著石頭過河，政治模式的出現總需要時間。

Margaret?Thatcher?grows?with?the?turning?of?the?pages.?She?summons?up?extraordinarypersonal?resources?not?just?to?break?with?the?old?order?but?to?put?a?new?one?in?its?place.?Noneof?this?was?easy.?The?entire?Thatcherite?project?was?frequently?in?danger?of?faltering,?asunemployment?soared,?cities?burned?and?the?ditherers?conspired.?The?situation?became?so?direin?1981?that?Mrs?Thatcher"s?advisers?sent?her?a?memo?castigating?her?management?style?andwarning?that?she?would?soon?be?joining?Edward?Heath?on?the?backbenches.

隨著時間的推移，瑪格麗特撒切爾也在變得更加老練成熟。她以常人少有的勇氣與舊秩序決裂，同時打造新秩序。這兩件事都不容易。所有這些撒切爾主義項目經常面臨各種垮臺的危險，因為失業率急速增長，各大城市情況堪憂，反對者紛紛密謀反叛。情況發展到1981年已經十分危急，連撒切爾夫人的顧問也都向她寄去一份簡報，激烈指責她的管理方式，并警告說她可能很快就加入愛德華希思成為后座議員了。

How?did?she?manage?all?this?Mr?Moore?shows?that?it?took?more?than?ideological?certainty?andpersonal?stubbornness.?Mrs?Thatcher?had?a?gift?for?seeing?when?the?time?was?ripe?and?when?itwas?not.?She?had?a?natural?bond?with?what?Richard?Nixon?called?the?silent?majority.?She?hadan?actor"s?gift?for?putting?on?a?good?show.?Mrs?Thatcher"s?opponents?repeatedly?played?into?herhands:?Heath,?the?titular?leader?of?the?Tory?ditherers,?known?as?the?“wets”,?was?a?repulsivefigure?who?grew?more?repulsive?with?age?and?Michael?Foot,?the?Labour?leader,?had?anunfortunate?habit?of?dressing?like?a?scarecrow.

然而她是怎樣應對這些的呢？摩爾將其描述為遠非堅定的意志和倔強的個性就足夠。撒切爾夫人有著判斷時機的良好稟賦。她與理查德尼克松所說的“沉默的大多數”之間有著天然紐帶。她就像是一個天生的演員，與生俱來就擅長上演一出精彩的戲。撒切爾夫人的對手總會正中她的下懷：名義上保守黨反對派的領袖希思，是著名的“溫和派”，他的為人令人厭惡，而且越老越惹人煩，還有工黨領袖邁克爾福特，他喜歡把自己打扮得像個稻草人一樣，有這個習慣實在是不幸啊。

The?book?ends?on?a?high?note.?Britain"s?victory?in?the?Falklands?war?consolidated?Mrs?Thatcher"shold?over?the?Tory?Party.?The?economy?began?to?recover.?And?the?Labour?Party?rendered?itselfunelectable.?At?the?same?time?the?seeds?of?her?self-?destruction?were?already?apparent.?It?isnot?often?that?you?can?say?of?a?900-page?book?that?it?leaves?you?wanting?to?read?more.?But?inthis?case?it?is?true.

該書在高潮部分收了尾。英國在馬島戰爭中的勝利有效地鞏固了撒切爾夫人對保守黨的控制。經濟也開始復蘇。工黨的糟糕表現也致使它們自身無法贏得選舉勝利。不過，與此同時，撒切爾夫人也開始走下坡路了。人們很少會說，讀完一本900頁的書還覺得意猶未盡，但是這本傳記就做到了。
