鲍里斯•约翰逊可能当不了英国首相了，但新人选也麻烦

THE Tory leadership race has taken an unexpected turn as Boris Johnson has been overtaken by one of his rivals, despite being labelled as the early contender to be the next Prime Minister.

保守党领袖竞选剧情意外反转，鲍里斯·约翰逊被一个对手打败，尽管都认为他会成为下一任首相的早期竞争者。

Following Theresa May’s resignation announcement, the former Foreign Secretary was the instant favourite to replace her as next the Prime Minister.

特雷莎·梅一宣布辞职，这位前任外交部长立刻成为了代替她就任下一任首相的最热门人选。

According to The Daily Mail, Environment Secretary Michael Gove has now edged ahead of Mr Johnson despite criticism from some within his party over his no deal Brexit stance.

据《每日邮报》报道，环境大臣迈克尔·戈夫（Michael Gove）现在领先于约翰逊，但党内也有些人士批评他的无协议脱欧立场。

Mr Gove has now received the support of 26 MPs despite not publicly outlining his Brexit strategy.

虽然还未公开宣布他的脱欧策略，但现在有26位下院议员支持戈夫。

One campaign source said: “Michael is ready to deliver Brexit at the earliest possible opportunity.

一位竞选的知情人士透露：“迈克尔准备尽早实现脱欧。”

“Simply trying to go for a No Deal before the UK is properly prepared will lead to a general election with Jeremy Corbyn in Downing Street and risks Brexit being cancelled altogether.

“在英国未做好万全准备之前就争取无协议脱欧将导致和杰里米·科尔宾（现任工党领袖）在唐宁街进行竞选，脱欧就有彻底取消的风险。”

“It’s not enough to believe in Brexit – you’ve got to be able to deliver it.”

“只相信脱欧还不够，你要促成才行。”

Mr Gove received criticism for his caution over a no deal Brexit namely from Brexiteers, Priti Patel and Iain Duncan Smith.

戈夫因无协议脱欧的警告受到指责，指责他的有脱欧人士、Priti Patel和伊恩·邓肯·史密斯（英国就业与养老金事务大臣）。

According to reports, Mr Gove has already started to gather a collection of high profile supporters such as Nicky Morgan and Amber Rudd.

据报道戈夫已经开始招揽高调支持他的人，如尼基·摩根和Amber Rudd。

Ms Morgan praised the leadership contender saying: “I think that Michael – based on his Cabinet experience and the fact that he led the Vote Leave campaign – is ready to lead and to bring some reality to this debate but also to deliver on Brexit, which is what we need to see happen.”

摩根称赞这位领袖竞选者说：“迈克尔有内阁经历还领导了脱欧公投，我认为迈克尔准备好要领导这个国家切实解决脱欧争议，他也能实现脱欧，这是我们需要看到的。”
