理查德·惠勒报道：安迪·伯纳姆坚称自己没有提前举行大选的念头，他认为这样做会“使国家陷入一种保守、固步自封的境地”。
By Richard Wheeler, Kate Whannel Andy Burnham has insisted he is not tempted to call an early general election, arguing it would throw "the country into a backward-looking process".
在工党年会前的系列BBC采访中，这位首相表示自己的主要目标是帮助民众应对生活成本上升的问题，并支持企业发展。
During a round of BBC interviews ahead of Labour's annual conference, the prime minister said his focus was on helping people with the cost of living and supporting businesses.
最近的民意调查显示，自伯纳姆于7月接替基尔·斯塔默担任首相以来，工党的支持率有所提升；不过“改革英国党”（Reform UK）和保守党的支持率也紧随其后。
Recent polling has suggested Labour's position has improved since Burnham replaced Sir Keir Starmer in Downing Street in July, although Reform UK and the Conservatives are not far behind.
如果提前举行大选，伯纳姆或许能够获得更多选民的支持，从而摆脱工党2024年竞选宣言中作出的承诺。根据法律规定，下一次大选必须在2029年8月之前举行。
An early general election could give Burnham a mandate of his own and free him from commitments made in Labour's 2024 manifesto. The next general election must be held by August 2029. Asked by ITV Calendar if the next election would be in 2029, he replied: "Yes, that's when the next election will be.
当ITV记者询问下一次大选是否会在2029年举行时，伯纳姆回答说：“是的，下一次大选确实会在2029年举行。”
"All of this speculation on an early election, I can knock that dead." Burnham heads to his first Labour Party conference as prime minister this weekend, with speculation over the prospect of a snap election likely to be a topic of conversation among some of those attending the event in Liverpool.
“关于提前大选的所有猜测，我都可以直接予以否定。”伯纳姆本周末将首次以首相身份出席工党年会，而在利物浦举行的这次会议上，有关提前大选的讨论很可能会成为与会者的热门话题。
Labour has been projected to lose its majority but remain the largest party in the House of Commons if there was a snap election, according to recent polling.
根据最新民意调查，如果提前大选，工党虽然可能会失去多数席位，但仍可能成为下议院中最大的政党。
It comes amid media reports that some of the prime minister's advisers have been weighing up the prospect of an election as early as next year.
与此同时，有媒体报道称，一些首相的顾问正在考虑在明年就举行大选的可能性。
But Burnham sought to rule out this prospect during interviews with BBC regional political editors ahead of the conference opening on Sunday.
但在周日年会开幕前的采访中，伯纳姆明确排除了这种可能性。当BBC西区政治编辑保罗·巴尔特罗普问他是否愿意提前举行大选时，伯纳姆回答说：“不，我并没有这个打算。”他补充道：“我看到各种猜测不断涌现，但它们其实都是无根据的。”
Asked by BBC West political editor Paul Barltrop whether he was tempted to call an early poll, Burnham replied: "No, not particularly. No, I'm not. "I see all the speculation and it just races ahead," he said.
他补充道：“短期内不会有选举。我专注于首相的工作，做我说过要做的事。”随后，BBC东米德兰兹政治编辑彼得·索尔问他，明年5月是否会举行大选，与该地区的地方议会选举同时进行。
He added: "No election anytime soon. I'm focused on the job as prime minister, doing what I said I would do." He was later asked by BBC East Midlands political editor Peter Saull if there would be a general election next May, alongside council elections in the area.
首相回答“不会”，并补充说：“不会举行大选。”伯纳姆还表示，他希望利用这次会议更多地阐述“我希望带领国家前进的方向”，并补充说：“重点是这一点，帮助人们应对生活成本，帮助企业应对经营成本。
The PM replied "no" before adding: "Not having a general election." Burnham also said he wants to use the conference to say more about "the direction I want to take the country in", adding: "The focus is on that, helping people with the cost of living, helping businesses with the cost of running a business. "These have got to be the priorities right now, rather than throwing the country into a backward-looking process where we're arguing again amongst ourselves."
“这些必须是当前的优先事项，而不是把国家拖入一个向后看的进程，让我们再次互相争论。”伯纳姆表示，他希望确保人们“再次对生活感到一丝希望”，并补充说：“这就是我正在努力做的，我希望在接下来一段时间进一步推进，而不是让人们重新陷入选举周期。”首相还被问及乘坐小船穿越英吉利海峡的移民人数。
Burnham said he wanted to ensure people are "feeling a bit of hope in their lives again", adding: "That's what I'm trying to do, and I hope to take it further in the coming period, rather than putting people back into an election cycle." The prime minister was also asked about the number of migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats.
此前，周三有记录显示781人乘坐10艘船抵达，这是今年迄今为止单日最高总数。伯纳姆表示，他的目标是不“希望看到任何穿越”。
It comes after 781 people were recorded arriving in 10 boats on Wednesday, the highest total for a single day so far this year. Burnham said his goal was that he didn't "want to see any crossings at all".
他拒绝为这一目标设定时间表，但表示他的政府将“不会停止”努力，直到穿越人数“大幅下降”。
He declined to put a timescale on the ambition, but said his government would "not stop" working until crossings went "right down".
他认为，英国脱欧削弱了英国阻止这些抵达者的能力，称这导致了“与邻国合作的丧失”。在系列采访的其他部分，他表示：他不会接受《太阳报》的任何“特别采访”。2015年，他曾告诉BBC，他尚未原谅该报对1989年希尔斯堡惨案的报道。
He argued that Brexit had hampered the UK's ability to stop the arrivals, saying it had led to a "loss of collaboration with neighbours". Elsewhere in the series of interviews, he said: He would not do any "special interviews" with The Sun. In 2015, he told the BBC he had not forgiven the newspaper for its coverage of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster.
游客不会因为他的提议而“吝惜多付几英镑”，该提议允许英格兰的地区市长对游客过夜住宿征收新税。政府将在下个月的预算中“在我们拥有的资源范围内尽我们所能支持民众”，以跟上威斯敏斯特及其他地区的内部运作。
Tourists would not "begrudge paying a few extra pounds" as a result of his proposal to allow regional mayors in England to charge new tax on visitors' overnight stays The government would "do what we can within the resources that we've got to support people" in the Budget next month to keep up with the inner workings of Westminster and beyond.
