WBR: Shock British election result

Fri, 8 May 15

Britain's right-of-centre Conservative party are celebrating a surprise win in yesterday's general election. We hear how the City of London is reacting to the result, and how businesses in Britain are facing the prospect¹ of an in/out EU referendum in 2017. We also hear why pollsters got it all so horribly wrong. And finally Megan Murphy of the FT and Charles Forelle of the Wall Street Journal look back on the week in business.

1 prospect   

n.前景，前途；景色，视野

参考例句：
