是，大臣（1980）

And it is full of marginal constit...I mean depressed areas.
大臣阁下 我可不认为利用王室
Minister, I hardly think that we can exploit our Sovereign
就意味着要把女王卷入到所谓的

希望他会和英国政♥府♥签一笔大单子
We're hoping he's going to place a huge order with BG.
他要上哪儿去看这些设备?

But the administrative problems…
本部门就是为解决行政问题而建立的
That's what this whole department was created to solve.
可苏格兰太远了 也没多远

好了 就在苏格兰了
So, it's going to be Scotland.

Has Sir Humphrey got lots of um...?
有 大臣 一两枚吧

Afraid not. Can't budge him. Your Minister nobbled him first.
不可能再弄回伦敦了?
No chance of getting it back to London?
不可能了 看来内阁是完全一致
No, I'm afraid the Cabinet are utterly united.

All these marginal seats, d'you see?
真不要脸
Shameful.
党派政♥治♥

是吗?
Oh really?
真同情你
Well, you have my sympathy.

serving up for the Scots and Burandans.
教会调料扮苏格兰羊杂 除了这个还会是什么
Haggis in missionary sauce, I shouldn't wonder.
私下里说 其实很可能不会有什么访问了
Actually, between ourselves, the visit will probably never happen.
不会有? 为什么? 内部不太平
Never happen? Why? Rumblings in the interior.
哦 天哪… 哦 我明白了
Oh dear... Oh, I see what you mean.
我们驻芒戈维尔的人这么说的 有那么严重吗?
From our man in Mungoville. Isn't that rather serious?
