David Cameron and George Osborne insist they enjoy a more cordial alliance than some previous occupants of Downing Street. 英国首相大卫·卡梅伦和财政大臣乔治·奥斯本，都坚称比起唐宁街以往的入驻者们，他们之间有着更融洽的合作关系。 But their pets are not afraid to get their claws out over who would make a better PM – that is, Prime Mouser. 但是他们的宠物们却并不介意伸爪大打出手，来决定谁能成为更称职的首席御用捕鼠大总管。 Just before dawn yesterday, Freya, the Chancellor’s cat, took on Larry, the Prime Minister’s pet, in a very public catfight. 昨天黎明前，财政大臣的爱猫弗莱娅在一场公开的猫战中袭击了首相的猫拉里。 After circling her opponent with what onlookers described as a ‘deathly stare’, the street’s feisty newcomer attacked. 弗莱娅绕着她的对手转圈，旁观的人描述她是“死死盯住” 拉里，然后这只充满活力的唐宁街新任御就猫发动了攻击。 Larry attempted to put up a fight, but after Freya landed a paw on his neck he was forced to flee back to Number 10. 拉里试图奋力抵抗，但是弗莱娅的爪子打到他脖子之后他只能被迫逃回了唐宁街10号。 Witnesses said that relations between the two cats have been strained since Freya usurped Larry from his role of prowling the corridors of power. Larry was appointed Chief Mouser to the Cabinet shortly after he was brought in to deal with the rodent problem on Downing Street in February last year. |
