n.蓋屋頂者;撒切爾(英國(guó)前首相瑪格麗特撒切爾夫人的姓)
Thatcher has said she will abolish the rating system. Watch this space, she won't. No one will. No ever. 撒切爾說過她將廢除評(píng)估財(cái)產(chǎn)的課稅現(xiàn)值體制。注意:她不會(huì)這么做的。沒有有人會(huì)這么做。從來沒有哪位做過。
For many Britons accustomed to watching Thatcher browbeat enemies and dress down aides, it seemed like only a matter of time before her support for Major would cool. 對(duì)很多看慣撒切爾向她的政敵怒目而視或斥責(zé)僚屬的英國(guó)人來說,她對(duì)梅杰的支持遲早都會(huì)冷卻。
