Oversættelse - Dansk--->Engelsk

Endnu engang er en engelsk politiker bukket under for formiddagspressens angreb: I går meddelte kulturminister David Mellor uventet, at han havde besluttet at gå af, fordi han ikke ville være en belastning for sit parti og for regeringen. Mindre end 24 timer forinden havde premierminister John Major udtalt, at det ikke var formiddagspressen, der skulle bestemme, om en politiker skulle være minister eller ej.
Det hele begyndte som en sexskandale: aviserne svælgede i intime detaljer fra Mellors affære med en spansk skuespillerinde. Men først da det blev afsløret, at David Mellor og hans familie havde holdt flere luksusferier, betalt af bl.a. en PLO-chefs datter, blev situationen uholdbar.
Redaktøren af The Sun har erklæret, at han ikke på nogen måde føler sig skyldig i Mellors skæbne: ”En politiker må holde sin sti ren, og gør han ikke det, er det pressens opgave at sørge for, at offentligheden får det at vide.”


Once again an English politician/statesman has gone down to the tabloid press’ attack: yesterday the minister of culture David Mellor announced/informed unexpected that he had decided to resign, because he did not want to be an embarrassment to his party and (to) the Government. Not less than 24 hours earlier the Prime Minister John Major had declared that it was not the tabloid press that (?) should decide if/whether (?) a politician/statesman should be minister or not.
It all started as a sex scandal: the newspapers wallowed in intimate details from Mellor’s affair with a Spanish actress. But not until it was disclosed that David Mellor and his family had been on several luxury holidays, paid among others by a daughter of the head of PLO (?), the situation became precarious.
The editor of The Sun has stated that he by no means feels guilty in the fate of Mellor, “A politician have to keep to the straight and narrow path, and if he does not do that it is the press’ duty to make sure that the public get to know about it.”


Hvis der er nogen der gider rette så ville jeg blive meget glad... :O)
