约翰逊是一位将现时代矛盾表现得淋漓尽致的百变政客。 他是生于1%特权家族的护民官；他是一位鼓吹关闭边境的移民之子；他是想要颠覆政治秩序的保守党；他是一位嘲笑专家的博学之士；他是偶尔将黑人称为“黑小孩”的世界大同论者。
Johnson is a tribune of the people who grew up with the privileges of the 1%; a child of immigrants who campaigned for closed borders; a Conservative who wants to upend the political order; an erudite man who mocks expertise; and a cosmopolitan who casually calls black people “piccaninnies.”
