For some British citizens south of the Scottish border, it will be difficult to act with the goodwill now required to recover from the referendum episode. I do not know how much Alex Salmond, the now-resigned Scottish Nationalist Party leader who pressed for the referendum, is responsible for the surge in his own party’s support; but I suspect that he may, alas, have galvanized all too much nationalist sentiment in England.
对苏格兰边界以南的一些英国公民来说，要他们带着从公投事件中恢复所必须的良好意愿行动将十分困难。我不知道敦促举行公投、现已辞职的苏格兰民为族党（Scottish Nationalist Party）领导人阿莱克斯·萨尔蒙德（Alex Salmond）在其政党支持率上升中居功几何；但我怀疑，唉，他给英格兰带来了太多的民族主义情绪。
