【英音模仿秀】阿博特赢得澳大利亚大选

模仿文本： But first to Australia where confirmation¹ has now come of what the opinion polls have been telling us for some time. After six years of Labor² leadership marked by relatively³ calm economic times, but fractious political infighting, the conservative Liberal-National party coalition⁴ is taking back the reigns⁵ of power. It's just a matter of weeks since Kevin Rudd replaced Julia Gillard as Labor leader in an internal party coup⁶ for what's turned out to be a very brief second stint⁷ as prime minister. 

 

译文：首先，已有一段时日的民意调查得到了证实。在过去的六年中，澳大利亚在工党的管理下有着相对平静的经济时代、但难以对待的暗斗，现在保守党自由党-国家党联盟重回统治地位。这发生在Kevin Rudd在一次党内变动中代替Julia Gillard成为工党领导人的几周内，意味着工党将产生第二位总理来管理澳大利亚。
