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)
