伦敦，11月15日 —— 英国首相安迪·伯纳姆定于周一表示，他希望就脱欧代价的“显而易见的真相”展开一场艰难对话，以便在本周布鲁塞尔峰会前重塑英国与欧盟的关系。
LONDON, Nov 15 - British Prime Minister Andy Burnham is set on Monday to say he wants to have a difficult conversation about the "obvious truth" of the costs of Brexit in order to reset Britain's relationship with the European Union ahead of a summit in Brussels this week.
伯纳姆旨在周五峰会上达成协议，涉及食品和青年流动等领域，这可能有助于短期内降低消费者成本，并缓解英国2020年脱离欧盟集团造成的部分摩擦。
Burnham is aiming for an agreement at Friday's summit on areas such as food and youth mobility, which could help lower costs for consumers in the short term and ease some of the frictions caused by Britain's departure from the bloc in 2020.
但伯纳姆也在寻求对前保守党政府达成的脱欧协议进行更广泛的重新评估，表示他希望就其他人回避的脱欧遗产展开对话。
But Burnham also is looking for a broader reassessment of the Brexit deal struck by the previous Conservative government, saying he wants to have a conversation about its legacy that others have avoided.
根据其办公室发布的演讲预发摘录，伯纳姆将在伦敦金融区的外交政策演讲中说：“这就像皇帝的新装 —— 没人愿意说出显而易见的真相。好吧，我实话实说。坦白讲，皇帝什么也没穿。我们得到的脱欧没有奏效。我们失去的比获得的更多。” 伯纳姆愿意为与欧盟的长期关系提出一系列广泛选项，这重启了一场在英国2016年公投决定脱欧时颠覆英国政治的辩论。
"It's like the emperor's new clothes – where no one is prepared to say the obvious truth," Burnham is set to say in a speech on foreign policy in London's financial district, according to advance excerpts from his office. "Well, I say it as I see it. And to be frank, the emperor has nothing on. The Brexit we were given has not worked. We have lost more than we gained." Burnham's willingness to suggest a broad array of options for the longer-term relationship with the EU reopens a debate which upended British politics when Britain voted to leave the bloc in a 2016 referendum.
他的做法与前任基尔·斯塔默形成决裂，后者在工党2024年宣言中划定红线，承诺不回归欧盟关税同盟、单一市场或人员自由流动。
His approach is a break from his predecessor Keir Starmer, who put red lines on not returning to the EU's customs union, single market or freedom of movement in Labour's 2024 manifesto.
伯纳姆则将表示，周五与欧盟达成的任何协议都必须尊重那些红线 —— 这些红线约束工党直到2029年大选 —— 同时改善脱欧协议，给民众带来实实在在的改善。
Burnham instead is set to say that any agreement with the EU on Friday must respect those red lines — which bind Labour until the next election, due in 2029 — while improving the Brexit deal and giving tangible improvements to people.
预计英欧将在周五峰会上同意减少食品和农产品边境检查，并就让年轻人更容易在国外生活和工作的安排达成一致。该峰会原定7月举行，因斯塔默辞职而推迟。
Britain and the EU are expected to agree to cut border checks on food and agricultural products and to arrangements to allow young people to live and work abroad more easily at Friday's summit, which had been scheduled for July but was postponed when Starmer resigned.
