After securing a comfortable victory in the lower house of parliament, he twittered the message politics one, defeatism? Nill.

新总理先是在议会下议院轻松获胜，然后在推特上发表信息：政治一分，失败？分。

So we shouldn't succumb to defeatism.

所以们不应该屈服于失败。

This, in turn, leads to a public mood of defeatism and despair, which in themselves tend to be inhibitors of progress.

这反过来会导致公众的失败和绝望情绪，而这本身往往会阻碍进步。

I think really as much as anything, his rhetoric is gearing up for a general election campaign in which he is going to invite the British public to choose between optimism and defeatism.

认为他的言论是在为大选做准备，他将邀请英国公众在乐观和失败之间做出选择。
