一个分裂的国家面临着一场将进一步分裂的选举
British voters keep being called to the polls—and each time the options before them are worse. Labour and the Conservatives, once parties of the centre-left and -right, have steadily grown further apart in the three elections of the past four years. Next week voters face their starkest choice yet, between Boris Johnson, whose Tories promise a hard Brexit, and Jeremy Corbyn, whose Labour Party plans to “rewrite the rules of the economy” along radical socialist lines. Mr Johnson runs the most unpopular new government on record; Mr Corbyn is the most unpopular leader of the opposition. On Friday the 13th, unlucky Britons will wake to find one of these horrors in charge.
英国选民不断被召集到投票站，但每次他们面前的选择都更糟糕。工党和保守党曾经是中左翼和右翼政党，但在过去四年的三次选举中，两党间的分歧越来越大。下周，选民将面临迄今为止最严峻的选择：承诺“硬脱欧”的保守党代表鲍里斯•约翰逊，和计划沿着激进的社会主义路线“改写经济规则”的工党代表杰里米·科尔宾。约翰逊先生领导着有史以来最不受欢迎的新政府；而科尔宾是反对党中最不受欢迎的领导人。在13号星期五，不幸的英国人将会清醒地发现这些恐怖的事情总有一件会发生。
At the last election, two years and a political era ago, we regretted the drift to the extremes.
在上次选举中，在两年前和一个政治时代之前，我们对走极端感到遗憾。
