Mark Carney is the first foreign governor in the 318-year history of the Bank of England. The overwhelmingly positive reception to his appointment is testimony to the strength of his personal credentials for one of the toughest jobs in global finance. It is also a resounding statement that Britain is ready to hire the best talent for top posts. 在英国央行(BoE)318年的历史上，马克·卡尼(Mark Carney)是第一位外籍行长。人们对他的任命几乎是清一色的认可，这是对他个人能力的认可，表明人们认为他完全有资格肩负起全球金融领域最为艰巨的工作之一。这也有力地表明，英国愿意聘用一流的人才担任最高职务。 Just months ago, Mr Carney emphatically denied he was in the running to succeed Sir Mervyn King. His lack of candour is excusable given the sensitivities of his current employer, the Bank of Canada, and the unpredictable reaction in financial markets. 几个月前，卡尼还坚决否认他有可能接替默文·金爵士(Sir Mervyn King)。考虑到他受聘于当前雇主——加拿大央行(Bank of Canada)的敏感性，以及金融市场难以预测的反应，他不够坦率也是情有可原的。 In a field in which experience was a key criterion, Mr Carney was an outstanding candidate. It is to the credit of George Osborne that he doggedly pursued Mr Carney and, like Canada’s celebrated Mounted Police, succeeded in getting his man. |
