Boris Johnson plans to get a Downing Street dog, the Mirror understands.

據《鏡報》了解，鮑里斯?約翰遜打算在唐寧街首府養一條狗。

The Tory leader today told Number 10 staff he will get a Prime Ministerial pooch to keep him company.

這位保守黨領袖今天告訴唐寧街10號的工作人員，他將會養一隻首相犬來陪伴自己。

And in his first act of diplomacy as PM, he 「declared peace」 in the war between Larry, the Number 10 cat and Foreign Office mouser Palmerston.

在他就任首相後的第一次「外交行動」中，他「宣布」唐寧街10號貓「拉里」和外交部捕鼠官「帕默斯頓」已經「講和」。

The feline rivals have repeatedly faced off on the steps of Downing Street in a bitter turf war.

這對喵星人競爭對手在唐寧街的台階上展開了多次激烈的地盤爭奪戰。

Larry, who was brought in by David Cameron in 2011, has become a regular fixture on the street, often seen lazing in the sunshine on the grassy verges.

「拉里」於2011年被英國首相戴維?卡梅倫帶進唐寧街首相府，如今已成為這條大街的常客，人們經常可以看到他躺在草坪邊懶洋洋地曬太陽。

But relative newcomer Palmerston, who arrived in 2016, has proved himself to be the more aggressive of the pair, and a much more efficient mouse catcher.

儘管對2016年才來到這裡的「帕默斯頓」來說時間尚短，但它已經證明自己是這對喵星人中更具侵略性的一個，也是一個更有效率的捕鼠官。
