With her long glossy locks, model good looks and perfect smile, Catherine Bursnall is no doubt not a stranger to cruel 'blonde' jokes.
Catherine Bursnall，标准的金发美女，她自然了解人们对金发美女的种种成见。
But the 29-year-old is now having the last laugh – as she prepares to become England’s youngest mayor.
然而，她即将颠覆人们的看法，因为29岁的她即将成为英格兰最年轻的市长。
She will be working alongside her husband, Tom, who is also a local Conservative councillor. The pair have even been dubbed 'TomCat' in reference to the nickname given to Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise.
她将和自己的丈夫Tom共事。人们戏称这对夫妻为TomCat，将他俩比作阿汤哥夫妇。
Tom, a politics graduate who Catherine met when they were both students at the University of Warwick in 2001 and married at the Windsor Guildhall three years ago, is more blunt about his wife's triumph.
Tom和Catherine是在沃里克大学读书时认识的，三年后结婚了。Tom说起妻子在政界的发展时，态度十分坦率。
'They underestimated Catherine and probably thought she was a blonde bimbo,' he told the Sunday Express.
“人们太低估Catherine的能力了，他们以为她只不过是一个没脑子的金发小妞。”
‘Our friends mock us because I’ve been more political throughout my life, whereas Catherine’s only been in politics for two years and yet now she’s in higher office than me.’
“我们的朋友都笑我们，因为我在政界已经打拼了大半辈子，而Catherine是半路出家，两年后居然职位比我还高。”
Catherine agreed: ‘I’ve always been the one walking behind Tom, posting the leaflets through the doors but now it’s the other way round.’
Catherine说：“我一直是Tom背后的女人，就做些发传单这种小事。但现在不一样了。”
"I won’t be called Mayoress because that’s the name for a mayor’s wife. You’re meant to be Mr Mayor but a lot of women ask to be Madam Mayor. I’d rather just be called Cat."
“我不希望被人叫成Mayoress，这个词的意思是市长夫人。一般来说市长都是男的，所以女市长都希望人们称呼她们为市长女士。不过，我希望大家叫我Cat就好。”
