当地时间11月4日晚，英国下议院选举出新一任议长，林赛·霍伊尔 Lindsay Hoyle在最终一轮的投票中胜出，他将接替10月31日卸任的“网红”议长约翰·伯科。

在最后一轮投票结束后，林赛·霍伊尔以325票比231票击败了竞争对手克里斯·布莱恩特 Chris Bryant。林赛表示，他将会做一名保持“中立”的议长。

林赛·霍伊尔爵士，1957年6月10日生，以前的党籍是工党。自1997年开始，他担任乔利选区选出的英国下议院议员。2010年获选该院副议长，再于2019年获选议长，并因而脱离工党。

中英全文

Kenneth Clarke:Order...Order, order. This is the result of the fourth and final ballot.

肯尼斯·克拉克：肃静！肃静，肃静。现在公布第四轮，即最后一轮投票结果。

540 ballots were cast, some other pressing engagements have taken people away. The number of votes cast for each candidate was as follows:

共计540张选票，看来不少人有急事儿先走了呢。每位议长候选人本轮得票数如下：

Chris Bryant 213; Sir Lindsay Hoyle 325.

克里斯·布莱恩特213票；林赛·霍伊尔爵士325票。

Two ballots were spoilt. Sir Lindsay Hoyle has obviously secured more than 50% of the ballots cast. The Question is that Sir Lindsay Hoyle takes the Chair of this House as Speaker. As many as are of that opinion say Aye.

另有2张废票。显而易见，林赛·霍伊尔爵士的得票数过半。当前议题为，"是否赞成由林赛·霍伊尔爵士出任下议院议长"。赞成该主张者，请高呼"赞同"。

Aye!

赞同！

To the contrary No.

反对者请高呼"反对"。

I think the Ayes have it, the Ayes have it. I invite Sir Lindsay Hoyle to take the Chair of the House.

赞成者占多数，赞成者占多数。有请林赛·霍伊尔爵士，入坐下议院议长席位！

Lindsay Hoyle:Oh, no clapping here!Order! Order!Order! Can I just say, Mr Clarke, thank you for the way that you've...We've kept you longer than expected. I really appreciate it.You've been steadfast in the job you have done and it really is appreciated.

林赛·霍伊尔：不准鼓掌！肃静！肃静！肃静！我要向克拉克先生致谢，感谢您主持议长选举。这场选举有些超时，让您久等了，真的十分感激。您做任何工作都是如此坚定有力，我也深受鼓舞。

Can I say thank you to all the candidates?Whoever was selected would have made a great Speaker. And I've got to say those who withdrew,Sir Henry Bellingham and Shailesh Vara,we thank you for the way thatyou wanted to ensure that we didn't have to stay for another two rounds.

我也要向其他各位候选人致谢。无论你们任何人当选，都会成为一位了不起的议长。我还要感谢两位候选人主动退出，亨利·贝林厄姆爵士，沙伊莱什·瓦拉。感谢他们退出竞选，他们"舍己为公"，让咱们不必再多投两轮选票。

Of course, it is about the campaign as I've discussed, and it's about the challenges ahead for me and this Chamber.I stand by what I've said and I stand firmthat I hope this House will be once again a great, respected House,not just in here but aross the world,that once again it's the envy (of the world).We've got to make sure that that tarnish is polished away,the respect and tolerance we expect from everyone who works here will be shown,and we'll keep that in order.

正如所言，这不仅仅关乎这场竞选。更重要的是，我和这座下议院即将面临巨大挑战。我定会言出必行，立场坚定，希望能让这里重新成为一座备受尊崇的伟大议会，不仅在英国，更要扬名海外，再度成为全世界艳羡的对象。我们还要确保取之精华，弃之糟粕。望下议院所有员工同僚都能相互尊重，相互包容，继续维持良好秩序。

I also want to say something to my family. No clapping!! No clapping, no clapping...

我还想对我的家人说几句话。不准鼓掌！别鼓掌，别鼓掌...

There is one difficult part that I want to get over. There is one person who is not here...my daughter Natalie.

有一句话异常艰难，但我必须说出口。一个对我无比重要的人，今天不在这里。我的女儿，娜塔莉。

【注释：霍伊尔28岁的女儿Natalie 2017年不幸去世】

I wish she had been here.We all miss her,as a family, and none more so than her mum Miriam.I've got to say that she was everything to all of us.She will always be missed but she will always be in our thoughts.

多希望她能在这儿啊。我们非常想念她。但最最想念她的，莫过于她的母亲米丽娅姆。她是我们所有人的一切，我们永远怀念她，她在我们心中永存。

I want to hope to show that the experience I've shown previously will continue. As I've promised, I will be neutral. I will be transparent.I think this House we can do more to ensure that that transparency continues,no more so than I believe of the Commission.I've never served on the Commission,I've never even seen the minutes of the Commission,so I do believe there is a little bit of transparency once again.

我希望能向各位表明，我会继续保持此前任副议长时的表现。正如我已做出承诺，我将维持中立透明，下议院可以做出更多努力，确保继续维持透明度，尤其是要保证下议院委员会的透明度。我从未在委员会任过职，我也从未见过委员会的会议记录。因此我认为有必要稍稍提高委员会的透明度。

And I've got to say thank you as I said to my family, but also thank you to my office, they are also with me tonight.They've been with me for a long time.

我必须向我的家人道谢。除此之外，我还要向我办公室的工作人员致谢，他们今晚也在这里。他们与我共事许久。

In fact, Bev, who is up there, she will get all embarrassed, has been with me for 21 years.She left university and said,"I’m never going to get married. I’m never going to have children. I don’t want any of this in life."Guess what? She is married, she's got children and she is still with me!!

贝芙，被我突然点名提及，她现在肯定很害羞。她与我共事已整整21年。她大学一毕业便加入我的团队，那时候她跟我说，"这辈子我不结婚，也不生孩子。我生命中不需要这些。"结果呢？她现在结了婚生了娃，现在依然跟着我做事！

And the same with Peter and Mike. They've done a fantastic job. They've been really good.So I want to say is can I say thank you everybody.It's been a long night. I don't want to keep you anymore,but I do stand by what I've said.This House will change, but it will change for the better.Thank you, everybody!

彼得和迈克也是一样。他们工作出色，非常了不起。最后我想说，感谢所有人。这是个无比漫长的夜晚，我也不想让大家久留。我将信守我说过的话，下议院会有所改变，且会越变越好。谢谢各位。

I'm now going to call - the first time - the Prime Minister!

那我就第一次以议长的身份，喊首相发言！

Prime Minister:Mr Speaker. Mr Speaker, I know that you will want to join me in thanking first of all,the Father of the House for the way that he's conducted today’s proceedings.And I pay... Where is he?There he is!I pay renewed tributes to my right hon. and learned Friend,who outranks just about every Member not just inlength of service but also in distinction.Mr Speaker, he's held six Cabinet posts, including two offices of state.And his Hush Puppies havebeen found propped up on the desk of ministerial offices in four separate decades.

首相：议长大人！议长大人，我知道各位都会与我一起，首先向下议院之父致敬，感谢他主持今天的议长竞选。他在哪儿呢？在那儿呢！我要再次向这位知识渊博的阁下致敬。论服务议会的时间长短，论服务议会的杰出程度，这位阁下都是首屈一指，有口皆碑。他曾先后六次任内阁职务，其中包括两项重大国务官职。任政府大臣的四十年间，他那双著名的暇步士麂皮鞋，曾多次出现在大臣办公桌上。

Mr Speaker, and his continuing physical and intellectual robustnessare a tribute to the benefits of a lifetime’s diet,Mr Speaker, of beer, curry and Castella cigars,all of which I hopehe will continue to enjoy in a long and happy retirement at Trent Bridge,or touring the famous jazz clubs in West Bridgford.

议长大人，这位阁下之所以身躯矫健，智力超群，都得感谢他这一生的均衡饮食，其中包括啤酒，咖喱，卡斯泰拉雪茄。我希望，他会在特伦特桥度过漫长而又快乐的退休生活，或去西布里奇福德著名的爵士酒吧里巡演。

Mr Speaker, in congratulating you on your election. I observe that you have prevailed over an extremely strong field,and that every other candidate earlier on spoke forcefully and well.And I'm not going to presume, Mr Speaker, to identify exactlywhat characteristics other Members of this Housesaw in you when they elected you just now,but speaking for myself, after long and happy years of dealing with you,I think I know what it is

议长大人，我还要祝贺您的当选。我注意到，您此次胜选，击败了尤为强劲的对手。每位候选人的竞选发言，都简短有力，妙语连珠。议长大人，我无意冒昧揣测，其他各位议员在为您投票时，他们究竟从您身上看到了哪些特质。但就我个人而言，在与您多年的愉快相处后，我想我知道答案是什么。

And let me say whenever any of us is preparing to speak in this Chamber, we all know that there is a momentbetween standing up and when the Speaker calls you,when your heart is in your mouth and in that moment of anxietyabout whether you are going to make a fool of yourselves, and, indeed, at the moment when we sit down amid deafening silence,the kindliness of the Speaker is absolutely critical toour confidence and the way we behave.

我想说，无论何时，任何一位议员打算在议事厅发言，我们都知道，总有这样的时刻。在被议长点名和站起身发言这短短几秒钟内，心里七上八下，惴惴不安，整颗心都提到嗓子眼。害怕自己发言会尴尬出糗。另一种尴尬时刻是，发言完坐下后，下议院噤若寒蝉，一片死寂。这时，一位和蔼可亲，善解人意的议长可太重要了。他会为我们的表现树立信心。

And Mr Speaker, over the years, I have observed that you have many good qualities. And I'm sure that you will stick up for Back Benchersin the way that you have proposed,and I'm sure you will adhere to a strict Newtonian concept of time in PMQs.But I believe... "Newtonian",you will also bring your signature kindness and reasonableness to our proceedings,and thereby to help to bring us together as a Parliament and as a democracy.

议长大人，这些年来，我发现您身上有许多优秀品质。我相信，正如您在竞选演讲中所说，您会捍卫后排议员的权利。我也相信，在首相质询环节中，您会严格遵守牛顿的时间概念。我相信...对啊"牛顿"。将您标志性的亲切友善和通情达理，带至议事程序中，因而将我们的下议院，我们的民主，紧紧团结在一起。

Because no matter how fiercely we may disagree, we know that every Member comes to this place with the best of motives,determined to serve the oldest parliamentary democracy in the world,and to achieve our goals by the peaceable arts of reason and debateinvigilated by an IMPARTIAL Speaker,which was, and remains, one of our greatest gifts to the world.

无论我们之间存在多么巨大的分歧，我们知道，每位加入下议院的议员都带着最纯良的动机，立志要服务于全世界最古老的议会民主制度，通过理性辩论，这种"和平艺术"，实现我们的目标。而这样的辩论，需要一位公正不阿的议长主持，这曾经是，并将继续是我们献给世界最好的礼物之一。

Thank you, Mr Speaker, and congratulations!

谢谢您，议长大人，祝贺您胜选！

Lindsay Hoyle:The other thing I forgot to thank was all the staff of this House, Joanna Dodd for the way that she ran this election campaign,so I thank everybody in this House.Can I now call upon the right hon. Jeremy Corbyn - Leader of the Oppositon!

林赛·霍伊尔：我刚才忘记向下议院全体工作人员表达谢意，还有乔安娜·多德，感谢她为我策划此次竞选。感谢下议院所有人。接下来有请反对党领袖，杰里米·科尔宾阁下。

Jeremy Corbyn:Thank you, Mr Speaker. Can I join others in offering my congratulations to you on winning the election,and thank Father of the House for conducting the election in the way that he did?But also congratulations and commiserations to the other candidateswho didn't succeed in getting elected,but nevertheless made sure we had a good campaignand serious debate all across the House.I think that was very very important.

杰里米·科尔宾：谢谢您，议长大人。请允许我与诸位一道祝贺您赢得选举，同时也向下议院之父道谢，感谢他主持此次议长选举。我还要对另外几位未能胜选的候选人表示惋惜的同时，也要祝贺他们，是他们确保了此次竞选的激烈精彩，也让整个下议院展开严肃辩论，我认为这非常重要。

We also are well aware of your abilities at chairing the House, because we've been through Finance Bills and Budgets in whichyou are robust in ensuring that people stick to the point and the subject,which is some comrades in the House on my sideand other Members on the other side sometimes deviate from the subject in hand,unprecedented, I know, but there we are.

我们深知，您主持下议院议事的能力绰绰有余，财政法案和预算案每每得以在下议院顺利通过，因为主持这些辩论时，您立场坚定，确保议题重点不跑偏。因为我这边阵营的某些同志，还有政府那边的某些议员，经常说着说着就开始离题万里。我之前没说过"同志"这词，但这就脱口而出了。

In your position, Mr Speaker, you are going to need eyes in the back of your head.It's a difficult job; you don't know what's coming at you next,so I realise that you've actually been in training in this.

议长大人，等上任后，您的后脑门可得多长一对眼睛啊！这可不是个轻松的职位，随时可能有人在您背后插刀，不过我发现，您最近倒是在训练这项技能！

So I've been looking at a photograph of you at the weekend apparently...apparently watching the rugby world cup finalwhilst at the same time not watching the television. So the only conclusion that I can draw from this is thatyou literally do have eyes in the back of your head,because you were able to make some very wise comments aboutthe progress of the match that you were apparently not watching at the same time.So I think these qualities aloneequip you to be an absolutely brilliant Chair of this House.

上周末我看到您的一张近照啊，照片中您在收看英式橄榄球世界杯决赛。但神奇的是，您的眼睛却没盯着电视。看着这张照片，我能得出的唯一结论就是，您的后脑勺估计还真长了一对眼睛！否则，您是怎么做到，对比赛进程发表明智且颇具洞察力的评论呢！单单这项技能，都足以让您完美胜任下议院议长之职了！

As you've said and many know, the job of Speaker is not just a ceremonial one. It is about the rights of Back Benchers to be able to speak up,it is about the power of Parliament to hold the Government to account.That is the whole principle and point of a parliamentary democracy,that we have a strong Parliament that can hold the Executive to account,and I know that you will stand up for that principle,because that is what you believe in, it's absolutely at the heart of our political system.

正如您所说，各位都知道，议长之职绝不只是礼仪象征性的，而是要捍卫后排议员畅所欲言的权利，是要维护议会，向政府问责的权力。这才是议会民主的整体原则和关键所在。我们要维护强有力的议会，以向行政部门问责。我知道，您定会秉持这一原则，因为这是您的信仰所致，而这就是我们政治制度的核心。

I also know that you take the wellbeing of everybody who works in this building, and the wellbeing of Members, very very seriously,because this is a fevered and very imaginative place that we all work in.People are put under enormous stress,and sometimes people find themselves in a lonely and desperate place,both staff and Members of this House.I know you take your responsibilities in that area very very seriously,and I know you want to make thisan even more compassionate and humane place in which to work.

我知道，您非常重视议会所有员工的福祉，其中包括各位议员。这座下议院，是个狂热澎湃又充满想象的地方，所有人都背负着巨大的压力，有时候甚至会发现自己处于孤独和绝望的境地，无论是工作人员，还是下议院议员。我知道，您定会认真对待议长所肩负的责任。我也知道，您想将下议院变成一个更富同情心，更具人情味的工作场所。

And I want to close by thanking you for your work,thanking you for taking this job on, but also assuring us,you will always stand up for the democratic values that this House represents,and the power of an elected Parliament to express its views,and hold the Executive to account,because that is the whole principle behind our parliamentary democracy.

最后，我想感谢您的辛勤工作。感谢您接受这项工作，也感谢您向我们承诺，你将永远捍卫议会代表的民主价值观，捍卫民选议会表达意见的权利，捍卫议会向政府问责的权力，因为这就是我们议会民主背后的整体原则。

Lindsay Hoyle:Just for the record, the score had come through and England couldn't win,that's why I wasn’t looking at the television!!Patrick Grady!

林赛·霍伊尔：顺便说一句，拍照片的时候，比分已经出来了，英格兰赢不了了。所以我才赌气没看电视的！帕特里克·格莱迪。
