保守党领袖告诉BBC，政府援助的收入门槛阻碍了人们“更努力工作”。文/布赖恩·惠勒随着本党年度大会拉开帷幕，凯米·巴德诺克宣称自己是一名“典型的老派保守党人”，并抛出了一系列政策承诺以及一份长达100页的施政理念阐述。
The Conservative leader tells the BBC the earnings threshold for government support stops people "working harder". By Brian Wheeler Kemi Badenoch has declared herself a "classic old school Conservative" as she begins her party's annual conference with a string of policy pledges and a 100 page statement on her guiding principles.
“我相信常识，相信人们努力工作并因付出而获得回报，”她对BBC的劳拉·库恩斯伯格表示。她补充称，福利应当是“安全网，而非生活方式”。
"I believe in common sense, people working hard and being rewarded for that effort," she told the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg. She added that welfare should be a "safety net, not a lifestyle".
这位托利党领袖正试图让自家政党在拥挤的政治赛道中脱颖而出。民调显示，保守党落后于工党和改革英国党，至今仍未从2024年大选的历史性惨败中恢复过来。
The Tory leader is trying to ensure her party stands out in a crowded political field. The Conservatives are trailing Labour and Reform UK in the opinion polls and have yet to recover from their historic defeat at the 2024 general election.
巴德诺克的个人民调支持率高于其所在政党，她将改革英国党领袖奈杰尔·法拉奇形容为“脾气暴躁的老爷爷”，并告诉劳拉·库恩斯伯格，工党领袖安迪·伯纳姆是“讲尽冷笑话的油滑舅舅”。她自称是一位“不废话的妈妈”。
Badenoch, whose personal poll ratings are higher than that of her party, has characterised Reform leader Nigel Farage as a "grumpy grandpa" and she told Laura Kuenssberg that Labour leader Andy Burnham is "the cheesy uncle who does all the dad jokes". She described herself as a "no-nonsense mum".
当被问及其削减福利和大幅增加监狱囚位的计划是否标志着回归过去的“恶毒政党”时，她回应道：“这是常识党。这正是我们在做的事。
Asked if her plan for benefit cuts and a massive increase in prison places was a return to the "nasty party" of the past, she said: "It's the common sense party. That's what we're doing.
“坦白说，如果旧做法这么管用，那我们为何在2024年会遇到如此糟糕的局面？”
"And, quite frankly, if we were doing so well the old way, then why did we have such a terrible issue in 2024?"
在其题为《正道》的文章中——这刻意呼应了玛格丽特·撒切尔1976年题为《正确途径》的文章——巴德诺克指出，上届保守党政府之所以失败，是因为它不知道自己代表什么。
In her essay The Right Way - a deliberate echo of an essay written by Margaret Thatcher in 1976 entitled The Right Approach - Badenoch says the last Conservative government failed because it did not know what it stood for.
尽管该党在执政的14年里言辞激烈，但她表示：“我们几乎没有扭转工党所做的那些将国家引向错误方向的结构性变革。“结果是国家权力暗中膨胀。”
Despite the party's rhetoric during its 14 years in power, she said: "We did little to reverse the structural changes Labour had made which took the country in the wrong direction. "The result was that the state grew by stealth."
文章指出，“下一届保守党政府将秉持一个核心原则：创造增长的是企业，而非政府”。
The essay says the "next Conservative government will have one central principle: business, not government, creates growth".
文章称，保守党将通过减税、削减繁文缛节以及将公务员队伍规模缩减至疫情前水平来实现增长。
The Tories would achieve growth through tax cuts, cutting red tape and reducing the size of the civil service back to pre-pandemic levels, the essay says.
文章补充道：“当今政治和政府真正缺乏的是敢于说‘不’的人。”
And it adds: "What is really missing from politics and government today is people prepared to say no.
“政党现在需要招募那些有胆量在资源根本不足以面面俱到时，对美好的事业说‘不’的人。”
"Political parties now need to recruit those who have the stomach to say no to good causes when the resources simply are not there to do everything."
随着保守党大会在伯明翰拉开帷幕，保守党承诺终结育儿“悬崖边缘”现象，即目前年收入超过10万英镑的父母不符合享受权利的资格。
As their conference gets under way in Birmingham the Conservatives have pledged to end a childcare "cliff edge", which currently means parents earning more than £100,000 do not qualify for the entitlement.
该党还承诺，通过将海外援助预算削减至每年10亿英镑，提供5万个新增监狱囚犯名额，以终止罪犯提前释放。
The party has also promised to deliver 50,000 new prison places by slashing the overseas aid budget to £1bn a year in a bid to end the early release of offenders.
在保守党执政的14年里，净新增监狱囚犯名额约500个，这包括现有和新建监狱新增的14,142个名额，抵消了主要因破败和关闭而损失的13,660个名额。
Over the 14 years the Conservatives were in power, around 500 net prison places were created, which takes into account 14,142 added in existing and new jails, set against 13,660 lost mainly to dilapidation and closures.
工党主席布里奇特·菲利普森表示，保守党“陷入过去，依然完全脱离英国民众想要看到的现实”。
Labour Party chair Bridget Phillipson said the Tory Party "is stuck in the past and remains completely out of touch with what people across Britain want to see".
“上周安迪·伯纳姆提出了一项给英国带回希望的计划。凯米·巴德诺克想把我们的国家拖回一种在过去40年里让这么多人失望的政治。”以跟上威斯敏斯特及更广泛领域的内部运作。
"Last week Andy Burnham set out a plan to bring back hope to Britain. Kemi Badenoch wants to drag our country back to a politics that let so many people down over the past 40 years." to keep up with the inner workings of Westminster and beyond.
