| 70 | Not the best candidate, not the most qualified, simply whoever is next. | 不是最优秀的候选人,也不是最合格的候选人, 仅仅是下一个人选。 |
| 71 | And let us be clear about what this institution actually costs. | 让我们明确这个机构的实际成本。 |
| 72 | Of course, the British taxpayer, as many of you I'm sure are aware, | 当然,英国纳税人, 正如你们中许多人,我相信, |
