 the Bed-blocker Party,  Reform UK risks being the Bed-blocker Party, preventing Britain from getting the treatment it needs. PUN(雙關語)在意譯下變成"隱喻"....

這個短語源自於一個常用的貶義詞「床位堵塞者」（bed-blocker）。在醫療領域，「床位阻塞者」指的是那些不再需要住院治療，但由於缺乏合適的社會照護或養老院床位而無法出院的病人。這種情況也被稱為「床位堵塞」或「延遲轉院」（DTOC），它造成了床位積壓，阻礙了其他病人入院。

《經濟學人》在標題中使用了這個隱喻，暗示英國改革黨「有可能成為英國政壇的『床位堵塞黨』」。這意味著該黨可能會透過其行動或政策阻礙進步，或阻止英國政治體係有效運作或獲得其所需的“治療”，就像病人佔用病床會不必要地阻礙醫療系統的運作一樣。

AI Overview

The term "

Bed-blocker Party" is a recent political metaphor used by The Economist to describe the Reform UK party. 

The phrase is a pun based on the established, and often derogatory, term "bed-blocker," which in a healthcare context refers to a patient who no longer requires acute hospital care but cannot be discharged because suitable social care or a care home place is unavailable. This situation is also known as "bed-blocking" or "delayed transfers of care" (DTOC), and it creates a backlog that prevents other patients from being admitted to the hospital. 

The Economist used the metaphor in a headline, suggesting that the Reform UK party is "risking being the Bed-blocker Party" in the UK's political landscape. The implication is that the party, through its actions or policies, might impede progress or prevent the British political system from functioning effectively or receiving the "treatment" it needs, much like a patient occupying a bed unnecessarily blocks the flow of the healthcare system.
