Mr Macron’s poaching of Mr Philippe to lead his government was announced on his first full day in office, shortly before he flew to Berlin for a meeting with Angela Merkel, the German chancellor.
距離至關(guān)重要的議會(huì)選舉不到一個(gè)月之際，菲利普的倒戈對(duì)保守派陣營(yíng)的共和黨(Republican party)是一個(gè)新的打擊。該黨希望贏得議會(huì)多數(shù)席位，以迫使馬克龍接受該黨的議程。
Less than a month before vital legislative elections, the defection of Mr Philippe is a new blow to the conservative Republican party, which hopes to win a parliamentary majority to force Mr Macron to adopt its agenda.
此前共和黨總統(tǒng)候選人弗朗索瓦?菲永(Fran?ois Fillon)陷入一場(chǎng)挪用公款的丑聞，沒(méi)能進(jìn)入總統(tǒng)選舉的最后一輪。
The party’s presidential nominee, Fran?ois Fillon, was engulfed in an embezzlement scandal and failed to make it through to the final round of the presidential election.
46歲的菲利普呼應(yīng)了馬克龍的超越法國(guó)傳統(tǒng)的左/右翼分歧的努力，在正式交接班時(shí)贊揚(yáng)了他的社會(huì)黨(Socialist)前任伯納德?卡澤納夫(Bernard Cazeneuve)。
Mr Philippe, 46, echoed Mr Macron’s effort to transcend France’s traditional left-right split bypraising his Socialist predecessor, Bernard Cazeneuve, at the formal handover of office.
“你屬于左翼，我屬于右翼，但我們相互尊重，我們知道，共同利益必須指導(dǎo)我們的（政治）承諾，” 他說(shuō)。馬克龍希望菲利普能夠幫助他吸引共和黨選民，在6月11日和18日的議會(huì)選舉中為他的新政黨“共和前進(jìn)”(LaRépublique En Marche)贏得多數(shù)席位。
“You’re a man of the left, I’m a man of the right, and yet, we respect each other, and we knowthat the common interest must guide our [political] commitment,” he said. Mr Macron is hopingMr Philippe will help him win a majority for his new La République en Marche party inparliamentary elections on June 11 and 18 by attracting Republican voters.
到目前為止，馬克龍更容易吸引社會(huì)黨的政治人物。社會(huì)黨在總統(tǒng)選舉中蒙羞，其候選人的票數(shù)遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)落后，排在第五位。
So far it has been easier for Mr Macron to attract politicians from the Socialist party, which washumiliated in the presidential election when its candidate came a distant fifth.
新任總理目前是法國(guó)西北港口城市勒阿弗爾(Le Havre)市的市長(zhǎng)、國(guó)民議會(huì)議員。跟馬克龍一樣，菲利普在社會(huì)問(wèn)題上持自由派立場(chǎng)，在經(jīng)濟(jì)上持親商立場(chǎng)。他與前總理阿蘭?朱佩(Alain Juppé)關(guān)系密切，朱佩在共和黨總統(tǒng)初選中被菲永擊敗。
