英國首相伯納姆將接待加拿大總理卡尼觀賞艾佛頓足球賽
倫敦9月16日（路透社）— 英國首相安迪・伯納姆預計週三將在一場足球賽接待加拿大總理馬克・卡尼，讓兩位領袖有機會因共同喜愛英格蘭最具歷史的俱樂部之一艾佛頓而建立情誼。LONDON, Sept 16 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Andy Burnham is expected to host his Canadian counterpart Mark Carney at a soccer match on Wednesday, giving the leaders a chance to bond over their shared affection for Everton, one of England's most historic clubs.
伯納姆7月出任首相，兩天後與卡尼首次通話時承諾將「鋪上藍地毯」接待加拿大總理到場觀賽；這是指艾佛頓的藍色球衣。Burnham became prime minister in July, and in his first call with Carney two days later promised to "roll out the blue carpet" — a reference to Everton's blue kit — and host the Canadian premier at a game.
兩位領袖將在賽前於利物浦舉行雙邊會談，內容可能涵蓋他們共同追求的目標：與歐洲建立更緊密關係、維持強大的北約防衛聯盟，以及促進貿易成長。The leaders will hold bilateral talks in Liverpool before the match, likely to cover their shared aims to seek closer ties with Europe, a strong NATO defence alliance and growth in trade.
之後的90分鐘裡，他們的共同目標將是希望艾佛頓在英格蘭聯賽盃第三輪擊敗伍爾弗漢普頓流浪者。After that, for 90 minutes their shared aim will be for Everton to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers in the third round of England's League Cup.
艾佛頓是1888年足球聯賽的創始成員，也是英格蘭足壇最富盛名的球隊之一。儘管已有超過30年未贏得主要獎盃，艾佛頓仍以9座頂級聯賽冠軍位居英格蘭史上第五。Everton, a founding member of the Football League in 1888, are one of the most storied teams in English soccer. Despite going over three decades without a major trophy, they have the fifth most league wins in the country, with nine.
伯納姆曾談到自己一生支持艾佛頓，從1970年代孩提時期起就前往觀賽；出任首相後，只要情況允許，他仍持續到現場看球。Burnham has spoken about his lifelong support for Everton, going to matches since he was a child in the 1970s, and he has continued to go to games when possible as prime minister.
卡尼曾說，在利物浦的表親激發了他對艾佛頓的熱情；他過去也曾到場觀看艾佛頓比賽，尤其是在英國擔任英格蘭銀行總裁7年期間。Carney has said cousins in Liverpool fuelled his Everton fandom, and has previously attended Everton matches — especially while living in Britain during a seven year stint as Bank of England governor.
