如何评价英剧《是，首相》(Yes, Prime Minister)

一个字：神剧！

而且，是永不过时的神剧！

《是，首相》其实是《是，大臣》（Yes, Minister）的后续，在豆瓣上评分都是9.8左右，可见其优秀程度简直逆天。

这是一部政治讽刺剧，大臣（后来的首相）Jim Hacker，部秘书Sir Humphrey，以及私人公派秘书Bernard三个人，面对各种施政发生的各种犀利洞见，这些洞见，哪怕过了三四十年，也没有一丝错判，也从中可见，西方政客几十年如一日的讨论。

对政治的犀利洞见

举个例子，今年新冠疫情爆发之后，西方政客们的一些决策和举措让我们中国人有些错愕，但是就有网友贴出来一段剧中的对话，让我们一下子就豁然开朗了。

而这样的金句在整部剧中比比皆是。保证你看完之后，能对西方（尤其是欧洲）的zz的精髓迅速理解，他们所做的那些事情，都能理解了。

对照现实看这部剧，乐趣无穷。

三个主角的奇妙友谊

三个主角，一个憨厚又有点理想主义，一个尖酸狡猾，一个有时装糊涂的学霸，三个人互相斗智斗勇，互动搞笑。

三人之间相互算计，也滋生着奇妙的友谊。

英语学习的好素材

三个角色，尤其是Humphrey和Bernard，一个是剑桥，一个是牛津，不时讽刺一下从伦敦政经的Hacker，两个学霸还不时爆发恐怖的词汇量。

如果边看边学英语的同学们有福了。

总之，《是，大臣》和《是，首相》就是那种会名留青史的作品，绝对不要错过。

在英国the Monarch和the Prime Minister的关系

来看标准答案，摘录自英国政府移民局专用考试教材《Life in the United Kingdom》,published with the permission of the Home Office on behalf of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office. （前几天刚考完）

The Prime Minister

The Prime Minister is the leader of the party in power. He or she appoints and di**isses ministers of state, and has the ultimate choice and control over many important public appointments. The Prime Minister’s leading ministers form the Cabinet. The Prime Minister used to be called, in Latin, "primus inter pares", which means first among equals. However, a Prime Minister who is defeated in an important vote in the House of Comm*** or who loses the confidence of the Cabinet, can be removed by their party at any time. This rarely happens, but when it does, the event is dramatic and the effects can be great. For example, Winston Churchill replaced Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain in 1940; and Margaret Thatcher was forced to resign in 1990 when she lost the confidence of her colleagues.

The Monarch

Under a c***titutional monarchy, the powers of the Monarch (the Queen or King) are limited by either c***titutional law or convention. In Britain, the Queen or King must accept the decisi*** of the Cabinet and Parliament. The Monarch can express her or his views on government matters privately to the Prime Minister, for example at their weekly "audience", but in all matters of government must follow the Prime Minister’s advice. The Queen or King can only, in a famous phrase, "advice, warn, and encourage". There would be a c***titutional crisis if the Monarch ever spoke out publicly either for or against government policy. The present Queen has reigned since her father’s death in 1952. The Queen is Head of State of the United Kingdom. She is also monarch or head of state, in both a ceremonial and symbolic sense, of most of the countries in the Commonwealth. The Queen has important ceremonial roles in the UK, which include the opening and closing of Parliament. Each year at the beginning of a new parliamentary session she reads by tradition "the Queen’s speech" from a throne

in the House of Lords, stating the Government’s policies for the next session. Today, however, these are entirely the vies of the Prime Minister and the cabinet. The Monarch also gives the letters of appointment to holders of high office within the Government, the armed forces, and the Church of England, but always on the Prime Minister’s advice.
