/ˌtəʊni ˈben/
  1. Anthony Wedgwood Benn (1925-2014) a British labour politician, famous for his left-wing views, who had important positions in two Labour governments. He was a Member of Parliament from 1950 to 2001. He was the son of a viscount and when his father died the title legally passed to him, so he was unable to continue in the House of Commons. He refused to accept the title and started a campaign to introduce a law allowing people with such titles to give them up if they wished. The law was passed in 1963, and Benn returned to the House of Commons. He retired from Parliament as the longest serving Labour MP ever and continued to be active in politics especially in the anti-war movement. He published diaries of his years in office and also had a new career as an entertainer, performing round Britain in one-man shows such as An Audience with Tony Benn.托尼·本恩(Tony Benn):安东尼·韦奇伍德·本(Anthony Wedgwood Benn,1925-2014年),英国劳工政治家,以左翼观点闻名,曾在两个工党政府中担任重要职务。1950年至2001年,他担任国会议员。他是子爵夫人的儿子,父亲去世后,头衔合法地传给了他,因此他无法继续在下议院任职。他拒绝接受头衔,并发起了一项运动,提出了一项法律,允许具有此类头衔的人在需要时放弃他们。该法律于1963年获得通过,本恩回到下议院。他是有史以来任职时间最长的工党议员,从议会退休,并继续积极参与政治活动,特别是在反战运动中。他出版了他在职期间的日记,还从事了演艺人员的新职业,
