With Echoes of Trump, Boris, Johnson? Scorns the BBC.

前有特朗普“手撕”媒體，后有鮑里斯約翰遜輕蔑BBC廣播電臺

The British Broadcasting Corporation has long been one of Britain's?most revered institutions. But after an election campaign in which it faced the charges of bias, the media organization finds its future is in the hands of some of its biggest critics.

英國廣播電臺公司一直以來都是英國最受崇敬的機(jī)構(gòu)之一。但是在這次的競選活動中被指責(zé)存在偏見問題，該媒體機(jī)構(gòu)意識到自己的未來掌握在一大批批評者手中（一些對其最為不滿的）。

Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, coming off a resounding victory of his Conservative Party, raised questions during the campaign about BBC's fundamental source of revenue- the license fee charged to all television viewers in the country.

在競選中大獲全勝的英國首相鮑里斯約翰遜在大會中對BBC的主要收入來源-向全國觀眾收取播放許可費(fèi)用（電視執(zhí)照費(fèi)）的合理性提出質(zhì)疑。

It has been increasingly evident, however, the friction goes beyond the BBC's business model and extends to its journalism,?as the prime minister delivers broadsides- evocative of President Trump's criticism-against the broadcaster.

越來越明顯的是，這種摩擦（2者之間不合）的來源（源頭）不但涉及（不僅限于）到BBC的商業(yè)模式，還延伸到BBC的新聞行業(yè)，英國首相對廣播公司的猛然抨擊不禁讓人想到特朗普對廣播公司的批評。

Evidence of his antipathy has been reinforced since the election by reports that Boris Johnson has barred cabinet ministers from appearing on an influential BBC radio program.

自大選以來，有報(bào)道稱鮑里斯約翰遜禁止內(nèi)閣大臣在BBC富有影響力的廣播節(jié)目上臺，進(jìn)一步表明他對廣播公司的厭惡（反感）。

While the BBC, founded in 1922, has the independent control of its programming, it is subject to government scrutiny of its finances and the terms of its charter. And the conservatives, with their huge majority, will have the political clout to jeopardize the BBC's funding.

成立于1922年的BBC有著對節(jié)目的獨(dú)有控制權(quán)，但是也需要接受政府對其財(cái)務(wù)及憲章的嚴(yán)格審查。而現(xiàn)在保守黨占有多數(shù)席位，將擁有更多的政治影響力，也會危及到BBC的“財(cái)路”。
