英国首相卡梅隆说，如果他的保守党在即将举行的议会选举中获胜，他不会寻求第三个首相任期。
在英国广播公司星期一播出的采访报道中，卡梅隆誓言如果保守党在5月10日选举后继续执政，他将作满五年首相任期，并表示他希望在任内解决教育和福利改革等问题。
但卡梅隆对电视节目主持人兰戴尔说，这就像是早餐时吃碎麦片条，两个刚刚好，第三个就太多了。(注解： 20世纪70年代末首相卡梅隆16岁时，伊顿公学早餐主食是大块碎麦片条。当时的流行广告说，你吃两个可以，三个就太多了。)
卡梅隆还说，新人和新领导将成为好事，这一刻肯定会到来，而且保守党内正在涌现出一些了不起的人物。卡梅隆提到内政大臣特里萨·梅、财政大臣奥斯本和伦敦市长约翰逊，为潜在的继任者。
British Prime Minister David Cameron says he will not seek a third term at 10 Downing Street if his Conservative Party wins the upcoming parliamentary elections.
In an interview with BBC television that aired Monday, Mr. Cameron pledged to serve a full five-year term if his party remains in government after the May 10 vote, saying he wanted to finish working on such issues as education and welfare reform.
But the prime minister told interviewer James Landale that "terms are like shredded wheat - two are wonderful, but three might just be too many."
"There definitely comes a time when a fresh pair of eyes and fresh leadership would be good, and the Conservative Party has some great people coming up," Mr. Cameron added, naming Home Secretary Theresa May, Chancellor George Osborne and London Mayor Boris Johnson as potential successors.
