首席部长将在苏格兰民族党在阿伯丁的大会上告诉代表，2026年是苏格兰“走向民族国家之路”的转折点。
The first minister will tell delegates at the SNP conference in Aberdeen that 2026 has been a turning point in Scotland's "journey to nationhood".
约翰·斯温尼将在随后的主旨演讲中坚持认为，“星象正在对苏格兰独立有利”。
John Swinney will insist that "the stars are aligning" for Scottish independence during his keynote speech to the SNP conference later.
首席部长将告诉阿伯丁的党员，2026年是该国“走向国家地位之路”的转折点。
The first minister will tell party members in Aberdeen that 2026 has been a turning point in the country's "journey towards statehood".
斯温尼将强调：“在爱丁堡、卡迪夫和贝尔法斯特，如今每位首席部长都支持我们民族的自决权”。
Swinney will stress that "in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast, every first minister now supports our nations' right to self-determination".
他将寻求在5月选举之后推动再次举行独立公投的议题，当时苏格兰民族党在霍利罗德赢得创纪录的第五次连任执政。
He will seek to press the case for another independence referendum in the wake of elections in May which saw the SNP win a record fifth term in government at Holyrood.
威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰的民族主义首席部长上个月在卡迪夫举行了峰会，他们签署了一项协议，尽管该协议不具法律约束力，但内容指出，没有任何西敏斯特政府有权“阻碍民主”。斯温尼将告诉党的支持者：“星星正一个接一个地对我们有利”。
The nationalist first ministers of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland held a summit in Cardiff last month where they signed an agreement, which is not legally binding, that said no Westminster government had the right to "block democracy". Swinney will tell his party's supporters that "one by one, the stars are aligning in our favour".
他将表示，如果苏格兰民族党在5月的苏格兰议会选举中失利，独立议题“将倒退数十年”。
He will say that if the SNP lost May's Scottish Parliament election, the case for independence "would have been set back decades".
虽然苏格兰民族党赢得了霍利罗德选举，但该党未能赢得斯温尼设定的总体多数席位目标，以此为依据试图在西敏斯特反对的情况下推动第二次独立公投。尽管如此，斯温尼将宣称：“没有回头路可走”。他预计将说：“苏格兰民族党正在左右局势。
While the SNP won the Holyrood ballot, the party failed to win the overall majority Swinney had set as a target for trying to force a second referendum in the face of Westminster opposition. Despite that, Swinney will declare that "there is no turning back". He is expected to say: "The SNP is making the weather.
而且请不要有误——风现在正坚定地吹在苏格兰独立运动的帆上。”首席部长将接着主张，西敏斯特的联合党“比以往任何时候都更弱”。
"And make no mistake – the wind is now firmly in the sails of Scotland's independence movement." The first minister will go on to claim that the unionist parties at Westminster are "weaker than they have ever been".
斯温尼在苏格兰民族党大会上的演讲将在安迪·伯纳姆进入唐宁街后在苏格兰发表的首次重要演讲之后一天进行。
Swinney's address to the SNP conference comes the day after Andy Burnham made his first major speech in Scotland since moving into Downing Street.
总理利用此次访问向斯温尼伸出橄榄枝，表示希望共同努力，赋予地方社区更多权力。
The prime minister used that visit to extend an olive branch to Swinney, saying he wanted to work together on giving more power to local communities.
在马瑟韦尔发表讲话时，工党领袖表示，他希望“超越旧的冲突政治”，并提出与苏格兰民族党合作，以深化苏格兰的下放权力。
Speaking in Motherwell, the Labour leader said he wanted to "move beyond the old politics of conflict" as he offered to work with the SNP to deepen devolution in Scotland.
伯纳姆之前在格拉斯哥的一次会议上告诉斯温尼，第二次苏格兰独立公投仍然“被禁止”。
Burnham previously told Swinney during a meeting in Glasgow that a second Scottish independence referendum remains "off limits".
此次会议是在伯纳姆告诉议员们之后举行的，他表示如果存在明确共识且公众舆论发生变化，则将在苏格兰和北爱尔兰考虑举行边境公投。
The meeting came after Burnham told MPs that a border poll would be considered in both Scotland and Northern Ireland if there was a clear consensus and public opinion had changed.
自2014年以来，历届英国政府一直反对举行任何进一步的公投。此前，苏格兰曾以55%对45%的投票结果反对成为独立国家。
Since 2014, successive UK governments have opposed any further referendums. Scotland previously voted against becoming an independent country by 55% to 45%.
2022年，英国最高法院裁定，任何进一步的公投都需要英国政府的同意。
In 2022, the UK Supreme Court ruled that any further vote would require the agreement of the UK government.
