当地时间10月24日，英国执政党保守党党首竞选结果出炉。前财政大臣里希·苏纳克当选英国保守党新党首，他将接替伊丽莎白·特拉斯，出任英国首相。

Sunak, 42, is the first person of Indian origin to become UK prime minister.

42岁的苏纳克成为英国首位印度裔首相。

He inherits an economy that is on the brink of recession as a combination of energy crisis, cost-of-living crisis and runaway inflation defies any easy fix.

他接手的是一个处于衰退边缘的经济体，能源危机、生活成本危机和失控的通货膨胀交织在一起，困境不易解决。

His predecessor's solution of debt-funded tax cuts failed to turn the situation around. Truss's economic strategy plunged the British pound to a 37-year low against the US dollar, while pushing up the cost of government borrowing and mortgage rates.

伊丽莎白·特拉斯通过举债减税的解决方案未能扭转形势。特拉斯的经济策略使英镑兑美元汇率跌至37年低点，同时推高了政府借贷成本和抵押贷款利率。

In his first public address as the Tory leader, Sunak said: "There is no doubt we face a profound economic challenge. We now need stability and unity. And I will make it my utmost priority to bring our party and our country together."

苏纳克在作为保守党领袖的首次公开演讲中说：“毫无疑问，我们面临着深刻的经济挑战。我们现在需要安定团结。我的首要任务是把保守党、把英国团结起来。”
