11个英国保守党议员加入下一任首相职务的竞争,其中前外相鲍里斯·约翰逊是取代特蕾莎·梅的领跑者。请看本报昨日的报道: The contest to replace Theresa May as Britain’s next leader formally began Monday, with candidates lining up to define themselves against the “bluff and bluster” of front-runner Boris Johnson. 报道中的bluff and bluster就是“虚张声势”,例如: The management doubted if there would really be a strike. They thought it was the bluff and bluster of the union. 管理层不相信会发生罢工。他们认为工会只是虚张声势而已。 |
