随着“派对门”事件的发酵，英国首相鲍里斯•约翰逊近来面对“下课”呼声越来越高（戳
这里回顾）。不过在本周三，他本人再发声拒绝辞职。
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday he had no intention of resigning over a series of lockdown-breaking gatherings at his Downing Street office and residence, pledging to get on with the job.

当天，在英国议会的首相质询环节中，反对党工党领袖凯尔•斯塔莫称根据相关条款——有意误导议会的大臣应自动辞职——是否适用于首相，后者回答：“当然”。
Asked by the opposition Labour Party Keir Starmer leader if the ministerial code, which says that ministers who had knowingly misled parliament should offer to resign, applied to him Johnson said: "Of course."
斯塔莫说道：“如果误导了议会，就必须辞职，那么你会辞职吗？”对此约翰逊回答：“不会。”
"If he'd misled parliament, he must resign," Starmer told parliament. "Will you now resign?" "No," Johnson replied.
随后，苏格兰民族党议员伊恩•布莱克福德在质询时称约翰逊是否“搞清状况然后走人”，约翰逊则重申：“我当然不会按照他（布莱克福德）所建议的那样做。”
When Ian Blackford, leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), asked Johnson when he would "cop on" and "go," the prime minister said "I have absolutely no intention of doing what he suggests."

警方开启调查
当地时间25日，英国伦敦警方表示，已对过去两年首相府涉嫌违反疫情防控规定举行各种聚会展开调查。
伦敦警察局局长迪克当天在新闻发布会上说，鉴于“公众的深度关切”，同时基于内阁办公室调查小组提供的信息，伦敦警方正在调查过去两年在首相府和政府办公室“可能发生过的、违反新冠疫情规定的一系列活动”。
British police said Tuesday they are investigating alleged parties held at Downing Street and Whitehall over the past two years during the country's lockdown, citing "deep public concern." "I can confirm that the Met (Metropolitan Police) is now investigating a number of events that took place at Downing Street and Whitehall in the last two years in relation to potential breaches of COVID-19 regulations," London's Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick said.

路透社报道称，约翰逊表示不会谈及正在进行的相关调查，政府目前着眼于“推动经济增长”，“领导西方应对乌克兰危机”等问题。
Johnson said he could not speak about investigations into the alleged parties. Johnson said his government was focused on driving economic growth and leading the Western response to the Ukraine crisis.
报道称，约翰逊此前曾对于“派对门”给出了一系列的解释：起初他说没有违反任何防疫规则，但随后又向英国民众道歉了。
Johnson has given a variety of explanations about the parties: first he said no rules had been broken but then he apologised to the British people.
英国政府高级别官员苏•格雷也在对唐宁街的派对事件进行调查，可能会在本周公布结果。目前还不清楚警方调查会对格雷的报告产生何种影响。
It's unclear how the Met's investigation will impact on the report, widely expected to be released sometime this week, by Sue Gray, the senior civil servant tasked with investigating these alleged parties at Downing Street.
CNN评论称，本周的首相质询并没有上周质询来得“吵闹”，但是却显示出英国朝野党派间的裂痕加剧。很明显，在最终看到调查报告前，英国政界基本上处于搁置状态。
This week’s PMQs was less rowdy than last week, and despite everything that is happening, it seemed to only show that the partisan trenches are being dug ever deeper. And it’s now clear that UK politics is essentially on hold until we finally get to see this report.

约翰逊政府曾曝出多起违反防疫规定的丑闻，涉及人员包括约翰逊的前高级顾问卡明斯、前卫生大臣汉考克等。
据CNN报道，周三发布的一项调查显示，62%的受访者认为约翰逊应当辞职。
About two-thirds (62%) of British adults say Boris Johnson should resign as Prime Minister, according to a Survation poll released Wednesday.
