翻译下这两段吧
They need more freedom, too. Greater Manchester has been allowed to plan for housing and office development at metropolitan scale, and is making a good go of it . Other metropolises are still denied that power. Mr Burnham is also being allowed to unpick one of Margaret Thatcher’s less wise reforms, in which buses outside London were privatised and deregulated. But it was a hell of a fight, and required a court case.
它们也需要更多的自由。大曼彻斯特地区被允许按大都市规模规划住房和写字楼开发，并且进展顺利。其它大都市仍然没有这种权力。伯纳姆也被允许取消玛格丽特·撒切尔(Margaret Thatcher)的一项不太明智的改革，即对伦敦以外的公共汽车实施私有化，对其放宽管制。但这是一场极大的战斗，需要法院诉讼。
Freer cities will inevitably make mistakes. More local revenue-raising risks widening the gap between the poorest and richest places; a mechanism for redistributing money that does not squelch all incentives to develop will be needed. But Britain’s economy cannot keep relying so heavily on London. And its second-tier cities cannot thrive unless they have more control of their destinies. Time to free the north.
给城市 更 多 自由 难 免会犯错误。 增加 地方收入有可能扩大最贫困地区和最富裕地区之间的差距；我们需要一种重新分配资金的机制，这种机制不会压制所有的发展动 力 。但是英国经济不能一直如此严重地依赖伦敦。除非二线城市 能 更好地掌控自己的命运，否则它们就无法繁荣 发展 。 是 时候 给 北方 松绑 了。
