又一鐵娘子 卡梅倫力挺的英國新首相何許人

Theresa May expected to become Britain's prime minister on Wednesday evening.

特蕾莎·梅將於英國時間本週三晚間就任英國的新首相。

In politics for decades, she has strong stances on immigration, same-sex marriage.

在幾十年的從政生涯中，她一直對移民問題和同性婚姻持強硬立場。

Theresa May is not a mother -- her opponent made that clear, to her own demise -- but you may be wondering who exactly is this conservative politician tapped to lead post-Brexit Great Britain.

特蕾莎·梅並沒有子女，她的對手以此作爲攻擊她的彈藥，結果搬起石頭砸了自己的腳。那麼，這位被推舉來領導歐脫歐時代英國的保守黨政客到底是個什麼樣的人呢？

The 59-year-old May became the heir apparent after Andrea Leadsom, the final of four opponents in the bid to lead the Conservative Party, dropped out following backlash to her remarks that she was more qualified than May to lead Britain because she is a mother.

在保守黨黨魁的最終選舉中，59的梅擊敗了安德莉亞·利德索姆，成爲了黨魁的法定繼任者。利德索姆是梅在黨內終選中4個對手中的最後一個，她此前聲稱身爲母親的自己比不是母親的梅更有資格領帶英國，此番言論回火傷及自身，而她最終也因此棄選。

To be fair, the tea leaves were already pointing toward May, who garnered 99 more Conservative Parliament members' votes than Leadsom in the first round of ballots, and 115 more in the second.

平心而論，英國政界其實早已偏向了梅。她在第一輪不記名投票中得到的保守黨國會議員選票比利德索姆多出99票，而在第二輪中則多出115票。

Prime Minister David Cameron said in a statement: "It is clear Theresa May has the overwhelming support of the Conservative parliamentary party, I'm also delighted that Theresa May will be the next prime minister. She is strong, she is competent, she's more than able to provide the leadership the country is going to need in the years ahead and she will have my full support."

現任首相大衛·卡梅倫在一次聲明中說道：“顯而易見，特蕾莎·梅得到了議會黨保守黨壓倒性的支持。我很高興她將成爲新一任的首相。她堅強而且能幹，她完全有能力爲這個國家提供其未來所需的領導力。而且，我會全力支持她。”

Leadsom also pledged her support to May.

利德索姆也承諾會支持梅。
