Cameron says cabinet reshuffle reflects "modern Britain"
卡梅伦称内阁重组反映英国现代化
British Prime Minister David Cameron is getting a new team, after a major cabinet reshuffle. Among the appointees -- Euroskeptics and women. The shake-up comes ahead of a national election next May. This was Cameron on Tuesday.
英国首相卡梅伦进行重大的内阁重组后获得了新的团队。被委任者包括欧洲怀疑论者和女性。这次大改组发生在明年五月份的全国选举之前。下面是周二卡梅伦的讲话。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) BRITISH PRIME MINISTER, DAVID CAMERON, SAYING: "Well I think it is a team that reflects modern Britain and it's only by reflecting all of modern Britain that we'll get the best for our country and I'm very proud of the fact that great talent has come through the Conservative ranks and you now see Conservative women occupying posts like Home Secretary, Education Secretary, Agriculture Secretary, Development Secretary, vitals jobs with really good people, doing their jobs to secure the future of this country and I'm very proud of that."
英国首相卡梅伦：“我认为这个团队可以反映现代化的英国，只有通过反映现代化的英国，我们才能使国家走上最好的道路，我非常自豪，新的团队突破了保守党的圈子，你现在可以看到保守派女性担任内政大臣，教育大臣，农业大臣，发展大臣等职位，这些都是非常重要的岗位，也是由非常出色的人才来担任，可以确保国家的未来更加美好，对此我感到非常自豪。”
One of the big surprises was William Hague's resignation as foreign secretary. Defense Minister Philip Hammond -- a known Euroskeptic -- will take his place. Hague welcomed the new appointment.
其中出人意料的一点就是威廉·黑格辞去外交大臣一职。国防大臣菲利普·哈蒙德——一位欧洲怀疑论者——将取代他的职位。黑格对新的任命表示欢迎。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) OUTGOING BRITISH FOREIGN SECRETARY, WILLIAM HAGUE, SAYING: "We're very clear and united on Europe and Philip Hammond, David Cameron and I all have exactly the same policy on Europe. We want to improve Britain's relationship with the EU and then hold a referendum on staying in or leaving the European Union. We're all committed to that, the Conservative Party is more united on this issue than it has been actually in the whole time that I've been in politics, in all that long time. So we're all going to be campaigning for that and I know Philip Hammond is going to be committed to that."
即将卸任的英国外交大臣威廉·黑格：“关于欧洲问题，我们的立场非常明确，非常团结，菲利普·哈蒙德，卡梅伦和我对于欧洲持有相同的政见。我们希望改善英国与欧盟的关系，关于离开还是继续留在欧盟，我们将举行全民公投。我们都坚持这一点，保守党在这个问题上前所未有的团结。所以，我们将为此而宣传，我知道菲利普·哈蒙德也将坚持这一点。”
Another big surprise was Cameron's decision to sack a longstanding ally, Education Secretary Michael Gove. His radical school reforms had provoked anger among teachers. As for women politicians, they will now make up six of the 23-person Cabinet -- up from three of 22 before.
出人意料的另外一点是卡梅伦决定解雇其长期盟友，教育大臣迈克尔·戈夫。他对学校进行的彻底改革引发教师的愤怒。关于女性政客方面，她们在23人的内阁中占据6个席位，比此前的22人中占据3人有所增加。

Now that the government is in control, it's time to rebuild. And it's starting with a visit by Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk.
