Yet for wealthy Westerners to call for lower-income countries to control their populations simply in the name of protecting nature is hypocritical in the extreme, given that the rich have vastly larger environmental footprints.

然而，对那些富裕的西方国家的人来说，呼吁低收入国家控制他们的人口数量不过是打着保护自然的旗号的虚伪至极的做法，毕竟富裕国家对环境的影响要大得多。

1. hypocritical: behaving in a way that is different from what you claim to believe – used to show disapproval

2. given that: when you consider sth

3. environmental footprint: the harmful effects of your activities on the environment

Jeremy Hunt, chancellor, will on Thursday seek to restore Britain’starnishedeconomic reputation with a £54bn package of spending cuts and tax rises intended to repair the public finances andtame inflation. “We will face into the storm,” he will say.

英国财政大臣杰里米•亨特为了努力重建英国受损的经济信誉，将于周四提出540亿英镑的减支增税方案，来修复公共财政，抑制通胀。“我们将直面风暴，”他说。

Hunt’s Autumn Statement will intensify the financial hardship facing millions of Britons and begin years ofausterityin public services, with around £30bn of spending cuts and £24bn of tax rises, according to people briefed on the plan. But the chancellor will claim the pain is necessary to curb soaring prices and restore faith in Britain, following the market turmoil thatengulfedKwasi Kwarteng’s disastrous tax-cutting mini-Budget on September 23.

While Hunt will insist that taming inflation is the ultimate “growth strategy”, the chancellor will also announce a crucial City of London reform intended to allow insurance firms to release billions of pounds of capital to invest in green energy and other infrastructure projects.

尽管亨特坚持认为抑制通货膨胀是一种终极“增长战略”，他也将宣布一项重要的伦敦城市改革，旨在允许保险公司释放数十亿英镑的资本投资绿色能源和其他基础设施项目。

The reform of EU “SolvencyII” rules comes at the end of months of tense negotiations between the Treasury and the Bank of England, which feared that looser capital rules could make the sector less safe. A number of sources told the Financial Times a compromise had been reached.

英国对欧盟“偿付能力II”条款改革，是在财政部和英国央行长达数月的紧张谈判结束后进行的。英国央行担心，更宽松的资本规定可能会降低行业安全性。多位消息人士向英国《金融时报》表示，双方已达成妥协。

Although most of the Autumn Statement will focus on the inflation and fiscal crises, Hunt will announce the Treasury has finally agreed a deal with the BoE’s Prudential Regulation Authority tooverhaulSolvency II rules. The chancellor will claim that the changes exploit the regulatory freedom offered by Brexit and will help the City boost growth, although the EU has already begun reforming the insurance rules itself.

尽管《秋季预算声明》的大部分内容关注的重点在于通货膨胀和财政危机，但亨特宣布，财政部终于与英国央行审慎监管局达成协议，对“偿付能力II”的条款进行全面修订。亨特声称，尽管欧盟已经开始对其保险条款进行改革，但这些变化可以利用英国退欧带来的监管自由，帮助伦敦提振增长。
