10月22日

Well,perhaps it's the early hours of Friday,the 23rd now.I am most excited.

不错，这会儿恐怕已经是23号星期五的凌晨了。我兴奋至极。

I have just been returned to Parliament by Birmingham East.

我刚刚从伯明翰东区回到国会。

And after years inopposition(反对）,the party has finally won a general election and we’re back in office.

在野多年之后，我们的政党终于赢得大选再度执政了。

After the result was announced I went to the celebration do at Alderman Spotteswoode’s (Hacker’s constituency party Chairman)

选举结果公布之后，我去了奥尔德曼·斯波蒂斯伍德家办的庆功宴，(斯波蒂斯伍德是哈克所在选区的党主席）

and saw Robert McKenzie on thetelly（电视） say:

还看见罗伯特·麦肯齐在电视里说：

”And so Jim Hacker’s back,with an increased majority in his marginal（边缘的） constituency.

“是的，吉姆·哈克回来了，他在优势微弱选区的票数增长赢得了这场竞选。

After many years as a Shadow Minister he seems almost certain to get a Cabinet post in the new government.”

当了这么多年的影子大臣，看来他几乎是一定能在新政府内阁获得一席之地了。”

Robin Day seemed doubtful,though.I do hope Bob McKenzie’s right.

不过罗宾·戴似乎表示怀疑。我真希望麦肯齐的预言没有落空。
