一、Translate the following passage into Chinese.（25 分）
“Iron Lady” is what the Soviet press had dubbed Margaret Thatcher unflatteringly,
but she embraced it, and she was known as the Iron Lady to the very end by her legions of
admirers and detractors alike for her steely spine and her unshakable convictions. She won
three elections and she was the longest-serving British prime minister of modern times.
Margaret Thatcher famously broke the coal miners’ union, stood up against striker
violence for months until she won. She delivered tough medicine to an economy wracked
by inflation and industrial decline. She was lionized for surviving an IRA bomb, but
vilified for her hardline stance, allowing IRA* hunger strikers like Bobby Sands to die.
She went to war to retake the Falkland Islands from Argentina in 1982, and in 1990, she
joined President Bush in the war to drive Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait, the first Gulf
War.
(*IRA: Irish Republican Army)
