车轱辘话预警：

Some people must wait where other people cannot see the people waiting.And people 

who arrive before other people must wait where they cannot see others people who 

arrive after them being admitted before them.And people from outside must wait where

they cannot see people from inside coming in to tell you what the people from outside 

want to see you about.And people who arrive when you are with people they should not know 

you have seen must wait until the people who shouldn't have seen you have seen you.

长难句预警！！！

When I say "not overstretched",I was talking in the sense of total,cumulative累积的loading

taken globally,rather than in respect of individual and anomalous破格的 responsibilities

which are not,logically speaking, constant or harmonious和谐的 with the broad 

spectrum范围 of intermeshing多分支的 functions，and could be said to place an 

excessive过度的 burden on the office when considered in relation to advantages of overall

centralisation.

Your career prospects depend upon those who have the power over promotions and 

appointments on a long-term basis.

Any particular subject comes up?

-Any subject you're interested in? 

not particularly.He didn't talk about service appointments?

-It may have cropped up.(可能有吧)

Did he foreshadow暗示 any redistribution of responsibility?

-It was a wide-ranging discussion.

Did he moved towards any conclusion?

-There were arguments on both sides.

Evenly balanced?

-Perhaps tending slightly more one way than the other.

But nothing to worry about?

-Nothing for ME to worry about.

表达我强烈反对新近的规定中加诸严格而无法容忍的 对高层tz人员的出入限制，

一旦现有的可悲创新被纳入长期规章，将迅速导致信息沟通渠道紧缩，最终造成

组织的萎缩和管理的瘫痪 从而完全消灭government工作的连续性,削弱整个

大不列颠与北爱尔兰联合王国...

Prime Minister,I must protest in the strongest possible terms...my profound opposition 

to a newly instituted practice which imposes利用 severe and intolerable restrictions

upon the ingress进入 and egress外出 of senior members of the hierarchy which will in

all probability should be current deplorable凄惨的 innovation be perpetuated永存,

precipitate促成 a constriction压缩 of the channels of communication and culminate达到极点 in 

organisational atrophy萎缩 and administrative paralysis /pə'rælɪsɪs/瘫痪 which will

render ★致使 effectively impossible the coherent连续的 discharge执行 

the function of the government within United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

- You mean you've lost your key?

The Civil Service generally hopes there will be no movement on any subject!

-What I mean is, it's in relation to a subject that is wholly and exclusively专门地

within the control of the Civil Sevice that development have developed.

-I advise you consider your position carefully,perhaps adopting a more flexible posture, 

while keeping ear to the ground, covering your retreat and watching your rear.

If there were a conflict which side are the Civil Sevice really on?

-The winning side,Prime Minister.

To an extend.从某种意义上说

Well,of course,the question is... not as a precedent先例...thinking of the stuff as a whole...

from the long-term point of view...as a matter of principle...

One does so hate to be disloyal to one's colleagues.

-Clearly you've never been a Cabinet Minister!

He must understand that once you start to interfere in the internal squabbles

of other countries,you're on a very slippery slope(岌岌可危).

You know what happens when politicians get into No.10, they want to take their 

place on the world stage(舞台).

-All they're required to do is look plausible能说会道的,stay sober冷静的 and 

say the lines they're given in the right order.(按部就班念台词)

-Some of them try to make up their own lines.

I'm sure we've got everything under control.

-Chamberlain thought he had Hitler was under control.

I gather we 're proposing to vote against Israel in the UN,why?

-They bombed the PLO.

The PLO bombed Israel.

-Yes,but the Israelis dropped more bombd than the PLO!

The PLO started it!

Bernard,it's simply too dangerous to let politicians become involved with diplomacy.

(Humpy)-Diplomacy is about surviving until the next century,politics is about 

surviving to the Friday afternoon!

-There are 157 independent countries in the world,we've dealt with them for years,

There;s hardly MP who knows anything.

(Humpy)- Show them a map of the world, most have a job finding the Isle Wight.

(大多数连怀特岛都找不到)

Shouldn't people sort of discuss things a bit and have the facts?

-Of course not! They don't want them,facts complicate things. All the press,

the people and their elected leaders want to know who are the goodies and baddies.

- The interest of Britain nearly always involve doing deals with people they think baddies,

and not helping the goodies occasionlly when he doesn't help us. (问题是为了gj利益，总得

和人们认为的坏人做交易，及偶尔抛弃不合作的好人)

-So we avoid discussion of foreign affairs,or rather we keep it inside the Foreign Office,

then we produce one policy for the Foreign Secretary,which represents our considered view,

and he can cat upon it.

高能：

What if the PM insists that we help them?

...

-In stage one we say nothing is going to happen.

-Stage two,we say something maybe going to happen,but we should do nothing.

-Stage three,we say maybe we should do something about it,but there's nothing we can do.

-Stage four ,we say maybe there waas something we could have done,but it's too late now.
