今天英国北什罗普郡补选，这是个1835年来一直都由保守党与他的前身统治，补选是由欧文帕特森的辞职引起的，他被议会标准专员发现非法游说。保守派随后试图推翻裁决，引起巨大反弹，最终帕特森辞职。
有自民党内部民调表示自民党离得很近，就差一两点，甚至在菠菜上自民党曾经超过保守党，现在保守党在菠菜上稍微领先一点。黄条如果能赢紫条真的很疯狂哈哈
UK: the area covered by the North Shropshire constituency in the West Midlands has seen Conservative (CON-ECR) pluralities in every election since 1950, with overall majorities since 2010.

【历年考研英语试题长难句解析(9）】
While polls show Britain rate “the countryside” alongside the royal family, Shakespeare, and the National Health Service as what makes them proudest of their country, this has limited political support.

重点单词词组：

Poll:民意调查

Royal:皇室的

Shakespeare:莎士比亚

National Health Service:国民医疗服务制度

扩展：world health organization 世界卫生组织

语法知识：本句话主干: this has limited political support。

难点在于while 引导的让步状语从句中有一个固定词组 rate...as(把...看作)

和四个并列成分。

翻译：尽管民意调查显示，英国人把乡村,皇室,莎士比亚和国民医疗服务制度列为国家最让他们自豪的4个方面，但是这种观点得到的政治支持却极为有限。
