William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, though he deplored the idea of American independence, denounced the government as the aggressor and rejoiced in American resistance.

查塔姆伯爵威廉·皮特虽然痛惜美国独立的想法，但谴责政府是侵略者， 并为美国的抵抗感到高兴。

Though Pitt, the friend of America, was once more prime minister, and seated in the House of Lords as the Earl of Chatham, his severe illness gave to Townshend and the Tory party practical control over Parliament.

尽管美国的朋友皮特再次出任首相，并以查塔姆伯爵的身份进入上议院， 但他的重病让汤森德和托利党实际上控制了议会。
