In the event, we did not dispose of 300 years of shared experience and common prosperity on one Thursday in September 2014. But there are three reasons why we seemed at times to come so close to that outcome, none of which reflect well on the British political process or, in my view, justify the claim that our future will, and must, be different.
最终，300年的共同经验和共同繁荣没有葬送在2014年9月的某个星期四。但有三个理由可以说明我们距离这一结果相当接近，其中没有一个原因能很好地反应英国政治程序或者（在我看来）证明我们的未来将会也必须不同。
