British Prime Minister Tony Blair said he was "touchd" after a seven-year-old girl in Scotland sent him a letter urging him not to be "bullied" into resigning from office.
英国首相托尼·布莱尔称，在收到一位七岁女孩寄来的信之后被深深感动，这位女孩在信中鼓励他不要受胁迫而辞职。

Kathleen Sandeman, from Dundee, told Blair not to stand down as leader because he was "the best" and was being pushed into doing so by people who were "not kind".
这位来自顿地(Dundee)的女孩，凯瑟琳·桑德曼要求布莱尔不要辞退，因为他是“最棒的”，他是受那些“不友善”的人胁迫才那样做的。

"It was a lovely letter and I was really touched," Blair said. His Dowing Street office had already sent a reply to the youth.
布莱尔说，“这是封令人愉快的信，我真的很感动。”  他的首相办公室已给这位女孩回了信。

Earlier last month, Blair publicly vowed to setp down as prime minister by September 2007 after being faced by a rebellion within his own party calling for his resignation.
上月初，布莱尔在面临其政党的反对力量要求他辞职的局面以后，布莱尔公开宣布到2007年9月将辞去首相职位。

Sandeman's letter, sent last month according to the city's Evening Telegraph, read:"Please do not leave your job. I think you are the best and you are being bullied by people who are not kind."
上月，顿地市的邮电晚报(Evening Telegraph)刊登了桑德曼的这封信，信中说，“请不要辞职。我觉得你是最棒的，都怪哪些坏人欺负你。”

"We are told at school to report  bullies to the teacher. If you like, I will tell my teacher about you. She is kind, her name is Miss Mckay."
“我们在学校里知道，如果受到欺负要告诉老师。如果你想的话，我将告诉老师你的情况。她人很好，她叫麦凯小姐。”

"Bad things happen in the world and I know you help sort them. You are kind and helpful and always do your best."
"不好的事在这世界上发生，我知道你在尽力解决这些问题。你是好心人并且你总是尽力而为。”

"I do not want your job, I want to be vet and help animals."
“我不会去做你的位子，我想当兽医去帮助动物。”

The young girl had decided to write the letter after watching the news on television. Her father told the Evening Telegraph that his daughter was "over the moon" when her letter was acknowledged.
这名女孩是在看到电视上的新闻之后，决定写这封信的。她父亲告知邮电晚报，当得知首相对她的信的评价之后，他女儿“欣喜若狂”。
