讀《FT·金融時報》學(xué)英語：Nigel Farage/英國前獨立黨領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人法拉奇

Nigel Farage, Eurosceptic scourge of “the political elite”, ended a remarkable 2016 appearing in the most potent and ironic picture of the year: smiling alongside a victorious Donald Trump outside the gold doors of the president-elect's New York apartment.
“政治精英”的克星、疑歐派人士奈杰爾·法拉奇用一張今年最有影響力、也最具諷刺意味的照片，為不尋常的2016年畫上了句號。在這張照片上，他笑著站在贏得了美國大選的唐納德·特朗普旁邊，身后是這位當(dāng)選總統(tǒng)紐約住宅的金色大門。

Leading Britain out of the EU already qualifies Mr Farage as a politician of huge significance.If Brexit leads to the unravelling of the EU project, historians will regard him as the catalyst and his role in the events of 2016 as a defining moment.
領(lǐng)導(dǎo)英國退出歐盟已經(jīng)讓法拉奇有資格被稱為舉足輕重的政客。如果英國退歐導(dǎo)致歐盟項目瓦解，歷史學(xué)家們會將他視為促成這一過程的人，并將他在2016年各項事件中扮演的角色視為一個決定性時刻。
