英国首相安迪·伯纳姆周三表示，他希望在有生之年看到英国重返欧盟，同时强调重返欧盟不一定是当前应追求的选项。
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said Wednesday that he wants to see Britain rejoin the EU during his lifetime, while stressing that rejoining is not necessarily the option that should be pursued now.
在接受BBC采访时，主持人尼克·罗宾逊询问伯纳姆，理想情况下他是否希望英国重返欧盟。
Speaking to the BBC, Burnham was asked by presenter Nick Robinson whether, ideally, he wanted Britain to rejoin the EU.
伯纳姆停顿后说道：“我想看看各种选项。”罗宾逊注意到停顿的时长，暗示这听起来像是伯纳姆想说“是”但不愿明说。
After pausing, Burnham said: “I want to look at the options.”Robinson noted the length of the pause, suggesting it sounded as though Burnham meant yes but did not want to say so.
伯纳姆回应道：“我已经说过，没必要否认，我在书中已经说过我希望在有生之年看到英国重返欧盟。所以没必要说别的。
Burnham responded: “I have said it, there’s no point me denying it, I’ve said in the book I would like to see Britain rejoin in my lifetime. So there was no point saying otherwise.
“但这不一定意味着现在就要这么做。因为我们需要了解我们将如何审视不同选项的本质。”伯纳姆随后列举了四种可能的方案：维持现状、加入关税同盟、同时加入关税同盟和单一市场，或重返欧盟。
“But it’s not necessarily the case that is now. Because we need to understand what would be the nature of how we would look at the different options.”Burnham then outlined four possible approaches: maintaining the status quo, joining a customs union, joining both a customs union and the single market, or rejoining the EU.
现年56岁的伯纳姆再次表达了对最终重返欧盟的支持，同时明确表示他不一定将其视为当前的选项，称首先需要审视各种可能性。
Burnham, 56, has again expressed support for eventual rejoining while making clear that he does not necessarily regard it as the immediate option, saying the different possibilities first need to be examined.
