Mr Gove said he was “naturally disappointed” not to have made it to the final two,， describing the remaining contenders as “formidable politicians”,。
　　Gove先生說沒有進(jìn)入最后一輪“自然失望”，但其他兩位都是“強(qiáng)大的政治家”,。

　　He welcomed the fact that the UK would be getting a second female prime minister - after Margaret Thatcher - and called for a “civilised,， inclusive， positive and optimistic debate”,。
　　他接受了英國將迎來撒切爾·瑪格麗特之后第二位女首相的事實(shí),，并呼吁“文明,、包容、積極,、樂觀的辯論”,。

　　Mr Gove did not announce backing for either candidate， but several of his key backers,， including Education Secretary Nicky Morgan and Culture Minister Ed Vaizey,， switched their support to Mrs May。
　　Gove先生沒有公布支持哪一位候選人,，但他的幾位關(guān)鍵支持人,，包括教育部長Nicky Morgan和文化部長Ed Vaizey都將支持轉(zhuǎn)向了May女士。

　　Anyone wanting to vote has to have been a member of the Conservative Party by 9 June,。
　　任何想要投票的人都要在9月9號之前成為保守黨的一員,。

　　Polling expert Professor John Curtice， of Strathclyde University,， said the electorate for the contest represented a “very distinctive slice of Britain”,。
　　斯特拉斯克萊德大學(xué)教授John Curtice，一位民意調(diào)查專家,，說這次競選的選民代表“英國很特殊的一面”,。

　　They would be mostly over 50， disproportionately male,， and “overwhelmingly middle class”,， he said。
　　他說大部分的選民年齡超過50,，男性居多,，而且“中產(chǎn)階級占絕大多數(shù)”。

　　He predicted the Brexit debate would “play a role” in the contest,， but not a defining one,。 About two thirds of Tory members voted to leave， but a higher proportion saw a candidate’s leadership credentials and vision for Britain as the most important factor,， he added,。
　　他預(yù)計(jì)英國脫歐將在競選中“扮演重要角色”，但不是決定性的,。三分之二的保守黨議員都投給脫歐,，但大多數(shù)人都更看重候選人的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)資歷和對英國未來的視野，他補(bǔ)充道,。

　　Mrs Leadsom’s departmental boss,， Energy Secretary Amber Rudd， is backing Mrs May and took aim at her junior ministerial colleague’s lack of government experience,。
　　Leadsom女士的部門領(lǐng)導(dǎo),，能源部長Amber Rudd支持的是May女士,，并指出她這位助理部長同事缺乏政府經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

　　She said： “The fact that she hasn’t had experience at the Cabinet table,， hasn’t had much experience even as a junior minister - let’s face it she’s had just two years - I do think is a problem at this stage,。”
　　她說“事實(shí)上她在內(nèi)閣沒有經(jīng)驗(yàn),，甚至作為助理部長也沒有多少經(jīng)驗(yàn)——讓我們承認(rèn)她只有2年經(jīng)驗(yàn)——這在目前來看是個問題,。”

　　But one of Mrs Leadsom’s high-profile backers,， former worker and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith,， said she would “develop” over the coming weeks and get “better and better and better”。
　　但Leadsom女士高知名度的支持人之一,，曾是一位工人的養(yǎng)老金大臣Iain Duncan Smith說她將在接下來的幾周“不斷成熟”,，并變得“越來越好，越來越好”,。

　　Mrs Leadsom is also supported by former London mayor and one-time leadership favourite Boris Johnson,， who said she would replace the “absurd gloom in some quarters with a positive confident and optimistic approach”。
　　Leadsom女士的支持人還有前倫敦市長,，一度受人喜愛的Boris Johnson說她將以“積極自信和樂觀的方式”在某種程度上代替“荒謬的陰郁”,。（愛語吧）
