3.SUNAK VOWS TO FIX TRUSS'S MISTAKES IN FIRST SPEECH AS PM
英国：苏纳克就任首相并组阁 誓要纠正前任政府错误
Rishi Sunak yesterday delivered【发表】 his first speech as the United Kingdom's new prime minister outside Downing Street. He said he would restore trust, rebuild confidence and lead the country through a profound economic crisis. Lei Shuran has more.
里希·苏纳克昨天（10/25）正式就任英国首相，并在唐宁街发表了上任后的首次讲话。苏纳克承诺将带领英国恢复信誉、重建信心，度过经济危机。记者雷舒然带来更多详细报道。

Sunak's leadership was confirmed when he met King Charles III at Buckingham Palace and was invited to form a government by the new monarch. Speaking outside his official Downing Street residence, Sunak praised the ambition of his predecessor Liz Truss to reignite【再点燃】 economic growth, but acknowledged mistakes had been made.
当苏纳克在白金汉宫会见国王查尔斯三世并被新君主邀请组建政府时，他的领导地位得到确认。苏纳克在唐宁街官邸外发表讲话时，表达了对前任首相特拉斯重启经济增长的雄心的敬佩，但也表示，特拉斯“犯了一些错误”。

Rishi Sunak, UK Prime Minister
苏纳克 英国首相
And I have been elected as leader of my party and your prime minister, in part to fix them. And that work begins immediately. 
我作为保守党党首和英国首相，有责任纠正这些（前任政府的）错误，这些工作会立即展开。

Sunak removed about a dozen members of Truss' government, but kept several senior figures in place including Foreign Secretary James Cleverly and Defense Secretary Ben Wallace. He also restored Dominic Raab to the post of deputy prime minister. A Downing Street spokesperson said Sunak spoke with US President Joe Biden last night and they are set to meet in person at the upcoming G20 Summit in Indonesia. Sunak was tasked with taming【控制】 an economic crisis that has left the country's finances in a precarious【不稳固的】 state and millions struggling to pay their food and energy bills. 
苏纳克免去了特拉斯政府中约十几名成员的职务，但保留了包括外交部长詹姆斯·克莱弗利和国防部长本·华莱士在内的几名高级部长。他还恢复了多米尼克·拉布的副首相职位。唐宁街的一位发言人说，昨晚（10/25），苏纳克与美国总统拜登进行了通话，相约在11月举行的印尼G20峰会上会面。不过，苏纳克当下最急需解决的，还是英国的经济困境。这场危机已经让英国的财政处于不稳定的状态，数百万英国人难以支付食品和能源账单。

Produce a credible fiscal plan next week. Underpin it with tax rises he can get the party to agree to put through parliament and spending plans that can actually be delivered on the ground. 
苏纳克需要在下周提交一份可行的财政计划，并确保这份计划能在保守党内部以及议会获得通过并付诸实施。

Britain's inflation rate rose to a 40-year high of 10.1 percent in September. Soaring prices for food were the biggest driver behind the latest cost of living increase, with an annual rise of almost 15 percent, the fastest jump since 1980.
英国9月份的通货膨胀率上升到40年来的最高点，达到10.1%。食品价格飙升是生活成本增长的最大推动力，年增长率几乎达到15%，是1980年以来的最大涨幅。
