利物浦：英国首相安迪·伯恩汉姆周二（9月29日）表示，他将在今年晚些时候与欧盟计划举行的峰会临近之际，为未来与欧盟的关系阐述“不同的选择”。
LIVERPOOL: UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham said on Tuesday (Sep 29) he will set out "different options" for future ties with the European Union closer to a planned summit with the bloc later this year.
他在工党年度大会上作为党魁发表了首次演讲，并表示：“脱欧带来的害处多于好处。我们需要为英国恢复更高水平的增长和繁荣。”
"Brexit has done more harm than good. We need to restore a higher level of growth and prosperity for Britain," he told the Labour Party's annual conference in his first speech as leader.
伯恩汉姆说，英国在2016年决定离开这个27国集团的争议性投票引发了“长达十年的低增长，使我们处于更弱势的地位”。
Britain's contentious vote in 2016 to leave the 27-member EU had triggered "a decade of low growth which has put us in a weaker position", Burnham said.
他坚持认为，与亲脱欧支持者的主张相反，“当我们失去与欧洲伙伴的合作时，对移民的控制力反而减弱了”。
And he insisted that contrary to the claims of pro-Brexit supporters "control over immigration was weakened when we lost collaboration with our European partners".
十年前，在一次具有里程碑意义的全民公投中，多数选民以微弱优势投票决定脱欧，自此之后，英国的欧盟成员国身份长期以来一直是一个棘手且极具分歧的话题。
Britain's membership of the EU has long been a thorny and highly divisive subject after a knife-edge majority voted to leave in a landmark referendum a decade ago.
自2020年英国最终脱欧以来，这个话题依然是个敏感禁区，几乎没有显赫人物愿意回到政治瘫痪和激烈争斗的日子里。
Since 2020, when Britain finally left the bloc, the subject has remained toxic, with few prominent figures wanting to go back to days of political paralysis and bitter feuding.
但伯恩汉姆表示：“在我们决定与这个仍然是我们最大市场的实体建立长期关系之前，我们将无法为英国开辟一条进入本世纪其余时间的清晰道路。”
But Burnham said: "We will not give Britain the clear path we need into the rest of this century until we decide on a long-term relationship with what is still our largest market."
他发誓将在推迟至今年晚些时候举行的英欧峰会上，提出英国与“欧洲伙伴长期关系”的想法，以确定“我们如何最好地在移民问题上进行合作”。
He vowed to lay out ideas for the UK's "long-term relationship with our European partners" at a postponed UK-EU summit now set for later this year, to determine "how we best work together on immigration".
“在此之外，我们将努力为受脱欧危害最大的英国产业争取利益。”
"Beyond that we will work to secure gains for our British industries most harmed by Brexit."
该峰会原计划于7月在布鲁塞尔举行，但因前首相基尔·斯塔默被赶下工党领袖宝座并由伯恩汉姆接任而搁浅。
The summit had been planned to be held in July in Brussels but was derailed when former prime minister Keir Starmer was ousted as Labour leader and replaced by Burnham.
双方原本希望在峰会上达成几项协议，即食品和动物安全标准、青年流动计划以及碳排放交易系统的对接。
The two sides had been hoping to present several deals at the summit, namely on food and animal safety standards, a youth mobility scheme, and the linking of their emissions trading systems.
