In the Corridors of Power: An Autobiography. By David Lipsey.

《自传：在权力走廊》：作者David Lipsey。

David Lipsey's book is admirably long on the first, though not devoid of the second.

在这部书中，David Lipsey不惜笔墨说明事实，但同时亦不乏自我辩护。

Through the years, Lord Lipsey says his ideas have remained broadly constant, while the political landscape has changed dramatically.

这些年，Lipsey勋爵表示，纵然政治版图已戏剧化的改变，他的观点大致还是不变。

Lord Lipsey, a Labour man to the core, has been at or near the political coalface since the early 1970s.

Lipsey勋爵作为一名实实在在的工党人，从二十世纪七十年代早期起就要么在政治工作面上忙碌，要么也从事着相应的工作。

When the door of Number 10 slammed shut in 1979, Lord Lipsey turned to journalism to earn his crust, notably at the Times and The Economist.

1979年当10号大门砰然阖上时，Lord Lipsey为了谋生转投了新闻业，他甚至为《泰晤士报》与《经济学人》都工作过。

Young Lipsey fell under his spell, and no one—certainly not Jim Callaghan, the beleaguered prime minister for whom he worked after Crosland's early death—ever really measured up.

年轻的Lipsey被Crosland的魅力征服，Crosland之后也没人——当然，也不可能是四面楚歌的Jim Callaghan总理，在Crosland早逝后，Lipsey在他手下服务——能真正符合Lipsey的标准。
