Johnson spokesman said the visit to Scotland is a fundamental part of his job, saying it is important that he is continuing to meet and see those who are on the front line.

約翰遜發言人表示，對蘇格蘭的訪問是他工作的基本組成部分，他說他繼續會見並看到那些在前線的人是很重要的。

Johnson met with members of the British army as they prepared a mass vaccination center in the city.

約翰遜會見了英國軍隊的成員，他們在城市裡準備了一個大規模的疫苗接種中心。

But his visit is also seen as an opportunity to stem growing support for another independence referendum in Scotland by arguing that the pandemic has shown the benefits of staying together.

但他的訪問也被認為是一個機會，通過爭論大流行病已經顯示出保持在一起的好處來阻止對蘇格蘭另一次獨立公投的日益增長的支持。

The bonds that tie England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland together in a $3 trillion economy has been severely strained by both Brexit and Johnson's handling of the coronavirus.

在3萬億美元的經濟中，將英格蘭，威爾士，蘇格蘭和北愛爾蘭聯繫在一起的紐帶已經被Brexit和約翰遜對冠狀病毒的處理嚴重緊張。

Opinion surveys show that a majority of Scots would now back independence, though Johnson has repeatedly said that now is not the time for another referendum.

輿論調查顯示，現在大多數蘇格蘭人都會支持獨立，不過約翰遜曾多次表示，現在不是再次公投的時機。
