我有一个梦和英国首相卡梅伦演讲五篇范文

第一篇：我有一个梦和英国首相卡梅伦演讲

I Have A Dream Martin Luther King I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation.This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice.It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free.one hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity.One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land.And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check.When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir.This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the “unalienable Rights” of “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned.Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked “insufficient funds.”

But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now.This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy.Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksand’s of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment.This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality.Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning.And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual.And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights.The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds.Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline.We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence.Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny.And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.We cannot walk alone.And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.We cannot turn back.There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, “When will you be satisfied?” We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality.We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities.We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one.We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity by a sign stating: “For Whites Only.” We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote.No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until “justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.”

I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations.Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells.And some of you have come from areas where your quest--quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality.You have been the veterans of creative suffering.Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of “interposition” and “nullification” one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight;“and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.”

This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope.With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.And this will be the day--this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:

My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride, From every mountainside, let freedom ring!

And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.But not only that:

Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.From every mountainside, let freedom ring.And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:

Free at last!Free at last!

Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!

英国首相卡梅伦深情挽留苏格兰演讲全文

(2014-09-20 02:05:39)

We meet in a week that could change the United Kingdom forever.Indeed, it could end the United Kingdom as we know it.On Thursday, Scotland votes, and the future of our country is at stake.On Friday, people could be living in a different country, with a different place in the world and a different future ahead of it.This is a decision that could break up our family of nations, and rip Scotland from the rest of the UK.And we must be very clear.There's no going back from this.No re-run.This is a once-and-for-all decision.If Scotland votes yes, the UK will split, and we will go our separate ways forever.When people vote on Thursday they are not just voting for themselves, but for their children and grandchildren and the generations beyond.So I want to speak directly to the people of this country today about what is at stake.I speak for millions of people across England, Wales and Northern Ireland – and many in Scotland, too who would be utterly heart-broken by the break-up of the United Kingdom.Utterly heart-broken to wake up on Friday morning to the end of the country we love, to know that Scots would no longer join with the English, Welsh and Northern Irish in our Army, Navy and Air Force, in our UK-wide celebrations and commemorations, in UK sporting teams from the Olympics to the British Lions.The United Kingdom would be no more.No UK pensions, no UK passports, no UK pound.The greatest example of democracy the world has ever known, of openness, of people of different nationalities and faiths coming together as one, would be no more.It would be the end of a country that launched the Enlightenment, that abolished slavery, that drove the industrial revolution, that defeated fascism.the end of a country that people around the world respect and admire the end of a country that all of us call home.And we built this home together.It's only become Great Britain because of the greatness of Scotland.Because of the thinkers, writers, artists, leaders, soldiers, inventors who have made this country what it is.It's Alexander Fleming and David Hume;J.K.Rowling and Andy Murray and all the millions of people who have played their part in this extraordinary success story, the Scots who led the charge on pensions and the NHS and on social justice.We did all this together.For the people of Scotland to walk away now would be like painstakingly building a home – and then walking out the door and throwing away the keys.So I would say to everyone voting on Thursday, please remember.This isn't just any old country.This is the United Kingdom.This is our country.And you know what makes us truly great? It's not our economic might or military prowess – it's our values.British values.Fairness.Freedom.Justice.The values that say wherever you are, whoever you are, your life has dignity and worth.The values that say we don't walk on by when people are sick, that we don't ask for your credit card in the hospital, that we don't turn our backs when you get old and frail.That we don't turn a blind eye or a cold heart to people around the world who are desperate and crying out for help.This is what Britain means.This is what makes us the greatest country on earth.And it's why millions of us could not bear to see that country ending – for good, for ever – on Friday.Now I know that there are many people across Scotland who are planning to vote Yes.I understand why this might sound appealing.It's the promise of something different.I also know that the people who are running the Yes campaign are painting a picture of a Scotland that is better in every way, and they can be good at painting that picture.But when something looks too good to be true – that's usually because it is.And it is my duty to be clear about the likely consequences of a Yes Vote.Independence would not be a trial separation, it would be a painful divorce.And as Prime Minister I have to tell you what that would mean.It would mean the armed forces we have built up together over centuries being split up forever.It would mean our pension funds sliced up – at some cost.It would mean the borders we have would become international and may no longer be so easily crossed.It would mean the automatic support that you currently get from British embassies when you're travelling around the world would come to an end.It would mean over half of Scottish mortgages suddenly, from one day to the next, being provided by banks in a foreign country.It would mean that interest rates in Scotland are no longer set by the Bank of England – with the stability and security that promises.It would mean-for any banks that remain in Scotland – if they ever got in trouble it would be Scottish taxpayers and Scottish taxpayers alone that would bear the costs.It would mean that we no longer pool resources across the whole of the UK to pay for institutions like the NHS or our welfare system.This is not guesswork.There are no question marks, no maybe this or maybe that.The Nationalists want to break up UK funding on pensions, the UK funding of healthcare, the UK funding and comprehensive protection on national security.These are the facts...Don't lose faith in what this country is – and what we can be.Don't forget what a great United Kingdom you are part of.Don't turn your backs on what is the best family of nations in the world and the best hope for your family in this world.So please, from all of us: Vote to stick together, vote to stay, vote to save our United Kingdom.

第二篇：英国首相卡梅伦

2011年5月25日，奥巴马与英国首相卡梅伦在伦敦记者会上的讲话：

PRIME MINISTER CAMERON: Thank you, and apologies for keeping you waiting.It's a pleasure to welcome President Obama here today.We've just been having a barbecue in the gardens of Number 10 Downing Street with some of our service--armed-service personnel from the United States and from the UK.And it was a great reminder of the incredible debt that we owe all of them and their families for their service, for their sacrifice, for all they do to keep us safe.It was a great event and it was wonderful to have Barack and Michelle there.It was also probably the first time in history, as we stood behind that barbecue, that I can say a British Prime Minister has given an American President a bit of a grilling.So I'm going to hold onto that.Over the past year I've got to know the President well.And whether it's in routine situations like sitting round the G8 table, or the slightly less routine of getting a phone call in the middle of the night, I've come to value not just his leadership and courage, but the fact that to all the big international issues of our time, he brings thoughtful consideration and reason.And I know that today, Mr.President, you'll be thinking of the dreadful tornado in Missouri and all those who've lost livelihoods and lost their lives and loved ones.And our hearts in Britain go out to all those people, too.Barack and I know well the shared history of our countries.From the beaches of Normandy to the Imjin River, our soldiers have fought together.From labs in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Cambridge, England, our scientists have decoded DNA and cured diseases together.And in millions of interactions every day, including our massive business relationship, our people forge friendships together.That is what makes this relationship special.But what makes it essential is that it's not just about history or sentiment;it is a living, working partnership.It is essential to our security and it's essential for our prosperity.And I feel every day just how important this partnership is.The President and I, together with my Deputy Prime Minister, have just had some excellent discussions.We've been talking today about the two things we care about most--getting our people jobs and keeping our people safe.Because every night millions of British and American people take the same worries to bed with them.They're asking if they can find a good job, if they're going to get a paycheck next month, and if there will be work for their children when they grow up.The stark truth of the world today is that no country is owed a living.We've got to pay our way and we've got to earn our way.And that is what the President and I are determined to do.Barack and I did not come into politics to cut public spending, but neither did we seek office to see our great economies decline or to land our children with unsustainable debts.And that is why in the second half of this decade, we're making sure that debt ratios will be falling on both sides of the Atlantic.At the same time, we're investing in our roads and railways, in science and innovation, and above all, in our young people.And down the line, the success of all this won't be measured in export figures or trade flows;it will be in the feelings of the factory worker, whether they're in Phoenix or the shopkeeper in Liverpool or the engineer in Ohio--the people who know if they work hard, then prosperity will be there for them and the promise of a better life there for their children.As well as the economy, the President and I had some very good discussions on security.Now, Americans and Brits, you don't need to explain terrorism to one another.Both our people have suffered at its hands, and indeed they have died together.My wife Samantha was in Manhattan on 9/11, and I'll never forget the five hours of trying to get hold of her.And she'll never forget the New Yorkers that she met that day or the sense of solidarity that she felt that day and that we have felt ever since that day.And today, as we come up to its tenth anniversary, we should remember the spirit of that city and the sympathy we feel with those who lost their loved ones.Now, there are those who say that this terrorist threat is beyond our control, and we passionately believe that is wrong.We can defeat al Qaeda, and the events of recent months give us an opportunity to turn the tide on their terror once and for all.I believe there are three actions we must take.First, we must continue to destroy their terrorist network, and I congratulate the President on his operation against bin Laden.This was not just a victory for justice, but a strike right at the heart of international terrorism.In this vital effort, we must continue to work with Pakistan.People are asking about our relationship, so we need to be clear.Pakistan has suffered more from terrorism than any country in the world.Their enemy is our enemy.So, far from walking away, we've got to work even more closely with them.At the same time, this is a vital year in Afghanistan.British and American forces are fighting side by side in Helmand, right at the heart of this operation.We've broken the momentum of the insurgency, and even in the Taliban's heartland, in Kandahar and central Helmand, they're on the back foot.Now is the moment to step up our efforts to reach a political settlement.The Taliban must make a decisive split from al Qaeda, give up violence, and join a political process that will bring lasting peace to that country.We are agreed to give this the highest priority in the months ahead.Second, we must reach a conclusion to the Arab-Israel peace process.Again, I congratulated the President on his recent speech on the Middle East, which was bold, it was visionary, and it set out what is needed in the clearest possible terms--an end to terror against Israelis and the restoration of dignity to the Palestinians;two states living side by side and in peace.Yes, the road has been, and will be, long and arduous, but the prize is clear.Conclude the peace process and you don't just bring security to the region;you deny extremists one of their most profound and enduring recruiting sergeants, weakening their calling and crippling their cause.That is why whatever the difficulties, we must continue to press for a solution.Our third action must be to help elevate the changes in North Africa and the Arab world from a moment in history to a turning point in history.We've seen some extraordinary things--protesters braving bullets, bloggers toppling dictators, people taking to the streets and making their own history.If global politics is about spreading peace and prosperity, then this is a once-in-a-generation moment to grab hold of.It is not a time for us to shrink back and think about our own issues and interests.This is our issue and this is massively in our interests.Those people in Tahrir Square and Tripoli just want what we have--a job and a voice.And we all share in their success or failure.If they succeed, there is new hope for those living there and there is the hope of a better and safer world for all of us.But if they fail, if that hunger is denied, then some young people in that region will continue to listen to the poisonous narrative of extremism.So the President and I are agreed we will stand with those who work for freedom.This is the message we'll take to the G8 tomorrow when we push for a major program of economic and political support for those countries seeking reform.And this is why we mobilized the international community to protect the Libyan people from Colonel Qaddafi's regime, why we'll continue to enforce U.N.resolutions with our allies, and why we restate our position once more: It is impossible to imagine a future for Libya with Qaddafi still in power.He must go.In all of these actions, we must be clear about our ambitions.Barack and I came of age in the 1980s and '90s.We saw the end of the Cold War and the victory over communism.We saw the invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein and the world coming together to liberate that country.Throughout it all, we saw Presidents and Prime Ministers standing together for freedom.Today, we feel just as passionately about extending freedom as those who came before us;but we also know that idealism without realism does no good for anyone.We have learned the lessons of history.Democracy is built from the ground up.You've got to work with the grain of other cultures, and not against them.Real change takes time.And it's because of this we share the view that our partnership will not just continue, but it will get stronger.And this is a partnership that goes beyond foreign affairs.At home, we have similar goals--to bring more responsibility to our societies, and to bring transparency and accountability to our governments.In all these ambitions, our countries will continue to learn from each other and work with each other.And as ever, it has been a pleasure to talk to the President, and an honor to have him with us today.Mr.President.

第三篇：英国首相卡梅伦辞职演讲

这个国家刚刚进行了一场大型的民主活动，这也许是我们历史上最大的一次。

超过三千三百万来自英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士、北爱尔兰和直布罗陀的人民表达了他们的声音。

我们应该为这个事实感到骄傲。在这片国土上，我们相信人民是重大的决策者。

我们不仅拥有议会民主制度，而且还在如何管理这个国家的问题上，我们也会适时征求人民的意愿。对此我们已经做到了。

英国人民投票选择离开欧盟，他们的意愿必须得到尊重。

我要感谢在这场活动里和我持相同意见的每个人，这其中包括摈弃政党偏见来表达他们对国家利益信念的所有人。同时，我也祝贺所有进行脱欧活动的人们，他们进行了活跃和充满热情的活动。

英国人民的意愿是必须执行的指令。

这不是一个轻易做出的决定，并不仅仅是因为众多不同组织对这一决定的重要性阐述了众多观点。

因此对这个结果不应持有疑问。全世界的人民都已经看到了英国做出的决定。

我想对市场及投资者重申的是，英国的经济基础非常强劲。另外我也向居住在欧洲国家的英国公民以及在英国居住的欧洲公民保证，你们的现状不会立刻发生改变。

我们的人民在出行方式上目前不会有任何改变。物品运送、服务提供都将照常进行。

我们现在必须做出准备，与欧盟进行协商。

协商需要苏格兰、威尔士以及北爱尔兰政府的共同参与，以确保联合王国各方面的利益都受到保护和推进。

但要做到以上全部，我们需要强劲、坚定且负责任的领导者。

我非常骄傲和荣幸能在过去的六年里担任这个国家的首相。

我相信我们做出了巨大的进步：就业人数从未如此之多；我们对福利和教育进行改革，改善人民生活质量、建设更大更强的社会；保持对全世界最贫困人民做出的承诺；不论性别因素，让相爱的人们合法结婚。所有这一切都将让英国继续保持其经济实力。

我对帮助实现这一切的所有人表示感谢。

我始终相信，对重大决策，我们应该面对，而不是回避。

这就是为什么我们成立了70年来首个联合政府，带领经济脱离濒危边缘。

这就是为什么我们在苏格兰进行了公正、合法、有决定意义的公投。

这也是为什么我做出承诺，与欧盟重新商议英国的地位、开启英国与欧盟关系的公投，并实现它们。

我以自己知道的唯一方法进行着这个过程，那就是直接、用心地表达我内心的想法和感受。

我没有任何保留，我的立场很明确，英国在欧盟内将会更加强大、安全和繁荣。我也强调了这次公投跟任何政客的前途，包括我自己，没有任何关系。

但是英国民众已经做出了明确且不同的选择，因此我认为英国需要新的领导人来带领我们的国家向前。

我将以首相的身份尽我所能在未来几个星期、几个月中稳定局面。但我认为并不应该由我作为领导人带领我们的国家向新的目的地前进。

这是我经过慎重考虑做出的决定。但从国家利益出发，我认为我们需要一段稳定期，之后便需要更换新的领导人。

我们不需要今天就制定一个详细的时间进度表，但是我认为，在10月保守党大会开始之前，我们需要一个新的首相继任。

保持稳定是非常重要的，在接下来的三个月里，我将继续作为首相和我的内阁一起为大家服务。

内阁将在周一举行会谈，英格兰银行行长将发表声明，阐释央行与财政部关于确保金融市场稳定采取的下一步措施。

我们也会继续推进在女王议会讲话中制定的重要立法议程。

我今天早晨也跟女王陛下通话并告知我即将采取的行动。

与欧盟的协商需要由新的首相开启，我认为应该由新任首相去决定何时启动《里斯本条约》第50条、开启脱离欧盟的正式法律程序。

我将在下周举行的欧洲理事会会议上阐释英国人民的选择和我个人的决定。

英国人民已经做出决定，这不仅需要被尊重；同时，失败的一方，包括我本人在内，还应该努力去协助实现这一决定。

英国是一个特别的国家。我们拥有很多杰出的优点：我们实行议会民主制，通过和平辩论的方式解决关乎未来的重要事项；我们是强大的贸易国家，科学和艺术、工程和创造力深受世界推崇。

虽然我们并不完美，但我相信我们能为多种族、多信仰的民主系统树立典范。人们可以来到英国，做出贡献并凭借才华能力达到自己的顶峰。

尽管离开欧洲并不是我推崇的道路，但我是第一个赞扬我们卓越力量的人。

以前我说过，脱离欧盟英国也能继续下去，我们肯定会找到一条出路。

现在决定已经做出，英国脱离欧盟。我们需要找到最正确的方向，而我也将尽我所能去帮助实现它。

我热爱这个国家，能够为之效力我感到十分自豪。未来我也将尽我所能去帮助这个伟大国家取得成功。The country has just taken part in a giant democratic exercise – perhaps the biggest in our history.Over 33 million people – from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar – have all had their say.We should be proud of the fact that in these islands we trust the people with these big decisions.We not only have a parliamentary democracy, but on questions about the arrangements for how we are governed, there are times when it is right to ask the people themselves-and that is what we have done.The British people have voted to leave the European Union and their will must be respected.I want to thank everyone who took part in the campaign on my side of the argument, including all those who put aside party differences to speak in what they believed was the national interest.And let me congratulate all those who took part in the leave campaign – for the spirited and passionate case that they made.The will of the British people is an instruction that must be delivered.It was not a decision that was taken lightly, not least because so many things were said by so many different organisations about the significance of this decision.So there can be no doubt about the result.Across the world people have been watching the choice that Britain has made.I would reassure those markets and investors that Britain’s economy is fundamentally strong.And I would also reassure Brits living in European countries and European citizens living here that there will be no immediate changes in your circumstances.There will be no initial change in the way our people can travel, in the way our goods can move or the way our services can be sold.We must now prepare for a negotiation with the European Union.This will need to involve the full engagement of the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland Governments, to ensure that the interests of all parts of our United Kingdom are protected and advanced.But above all this will require strong, determined and committed leadership.I am very proud and very honoured to have been Prime Minister of this country for six years.I believe we have made great steps, with more people in work than ever before in our history;with reforms to welfare and education;increasing people’s life chances;building a bigger and stronger society;keeping our promises to the poorest people in the world, and enabling those who love each other to get married whatever their sexuality.But above all restoring Britain’s economic strength, and I am grateful to everyone who has helped to make that happen.I have also always believed that we have to confront big decisions – not duck them.That’s why we delivered the first Coalition government in seventy years to bring our economy back from the brink.It’s why we delivered a fair, legal and decisive referendum in Scotland.And why I made the pledge to renegotiate Britain’s position in the European Union and hold a referendum on our membership, and have carried those things out.I fought this campaign in the only way I know how – which is to say directly and passionately what I think and feel – head, heart and soul.I held nothing back.I was absolutely clear about my belief that Britain is stronger, safer and better off inside the European Union, and I made clear the referendum was about this and this alone – not the future of any single politician, including myself.But the British people have made a very clear decision to take a different path, and as such I think the country requires fresh leadership to take it in this direction.I will do everything I can as Prime Minister to steady the ship over the coming weeks and months, but I do not think it would be right for me to try to be the captain that steers our country to its next destination.This is not a decision I have taken lightly, but I do believe it is in the national interest to have a period of stability and then the new leadership required.There is no need for a precise timetable today, but in my view we should aim to have a new Prime Minister in place by the start of the Conservative Party Conference in October.Delivering stability will be important and I will continue in post as Prime Minister with my Cabinet for the next three months.The Cabinet will meet on Monday.The Governor of the Bank of England is making a statement about the steps that the Bank and the Treasury are taking to reassure financial markets.We will also continue taking forward the important legislation that we set before Parliament in the Queen’s Speech.And I have spoken to Her Majesty the Queen this morning to advise her of the steps that I am taking.A negotiation with the European Union will need to begin under a new Prime Minister, and I think it is right that this new Prime Minister takes the decision about when to trigger article 50 and start the formal and legal process of leaving the EU.I will attend the European Council next week to explain the decision the British people have taken and my own decision.The British people have made a choice.That not only needs to be respected – but those on the losing side of the argument, myself included, should help to make it work.Britain is a special country.We have so many great advantages.A parliamentary democracy where we resolve great issues about our future through peaceful debate;a great trading nation, with our science and arts, our engineering and our creativity respected the world over.And while we are not perfect, I do believe we can be a model of a multi-racial, multi-faith democracy, where people can come and make a contribution and rise to the very highest that their talent allows.Although leaving Europe was not the path I recommended, I am the first to praise our incredible strengths.I have said before that Britain can survive outside the European Union and indeed that we could find a way.Now the decision has been made to leave, we need to find the best way, and I will do everything I can to help.I love this country – and I feel honoured to have served it.And I will do everything I can in future to help this great country succeed.

第四篇：英国首相卡梅伦辞职演讲双语全文

UK Votes to Leave EU 英国公投退欧

On June 24, in a historic referendum known as Brexit, the UK voted to leave the European Union(EU).Shortly after the Leave results were confirmed, the British pound began to fall drastically, and Prime Minister Cameron announced that he would be stepping down.Like Cameron, all of the other EU leaders had hoped that voters would choose to Remain.The process to officially leave the EU is expected to take at least two years.The next prime minister will likely take care of the negotiations.6月24日，英国举行具有历史意义的“Brexit”公投，英国选择离开欧盟。就在“退欧”公投后不久，英镑急转直下，英国首相卡梅伦宣布辞职。正如卡梅伦以及欧盟领导人一样，都希望英国留欧。正式退欧进程恐将至少持续两年。下任总统将有可能处理谈判事宜。

n 23 June, the UK finally settled the question that's been rumbling close to the surface of British politics for a generation: should the country remain within the European Union or go it alone.The final result went 52 to 48 per cent in favour of Brexitand, say campaigners, its voice was amplified on the world stage as a result.“The truth is that pulling up the drawbridge and quitting the EU will not enhance our national sovereignty,” warned Labour's Hilary Benn, who was sacked as shadow foreign secretary this week after complaining about Jeremy Corbyn's leadership.“All it would do is to weaken it by taking away our power to influence events in an ever more complex and interdependent world.” Nor, said Remainers, will UK sovereignty be absolute out of the EU: the British government would still be bound by membership of Nato, the UN, the World Trade Organisation, and various treaties and agreements with other nations.Immigration Under EU law, Britain cannot prevent anyone from another member state coming to live in the country – while Britons benefit from an equivalent right to live and work anywhere else in the EU.The result has been a huge increase in immigration into Britain, particularly from eastern and southern Europe.According to the Office for National Statistics, there are 942,000 eastern Europeans, Romanians and Bulgarians working in the UK, along with 791,000 western Europeans – and 2.93m workers from outside the EU.China and India are the biggest source of foreign workers in the UK.Remainers say that, while the recent pace of immigration has led to some difficulties with housing and service provision, the net effect has been overwhelmingly positive.By contrast, Farage insisted immigration should be cut dramatically, and that leaving the EU was the only way to “regain control of our borders”.Other pro-Brexit campaigners would not necessarily reduce immigration, but said that it should be up to the British Government to set the rules.Cameron claimed that the concessions he won during the renegotiation of Britain's EU membership would reduce immigration as new arrivals will receive a lower rate of child benefit.Jobs The effect of leaving the EU on British jobs depends on a complex interplay of the factors above: trade, investment and immigration.Pro-EU campaigners suggested that three million jobs could be lost if Britain goes it alone.However, while “figures from the early 2000s suggest around three million jobs are linked to trade with the European Union,” says Full Fact, “they don't say they are dependent on the UK being an EU member.” If trade and investment falls now the UK has voted for Brexit, then some of these jobs would be lost – but if they rose, then new jobs would be created.A drop in immigration would, all else being equal, mean more jobs for the people who remained, but labour shortages could also hold back the economy, reducing its potential for growth.Stuart Rose, former Marks & Spencer chief executive and a prominent pro-EU campaigner, conceded recently that wages may rise if Britain leaves – which would be good for workers, but less so for their employers.Writing for the London School of Economics, Professor Adrian Favell said limiting freedom of movement would deter the “brightest and the best” of the continent from coming to Britain and reduce the pool of candidates employers can choose from.Free movement of people across the EU also opened up job opportunities for British workers seeking to work elsewhere in Europe.Britain's place in the world For Outers, leaving the EU will allow Britain to re-establish itself as a truly independent nation with connections to the rest of the world.But Remainers fear that Brexit will result in the country giving up its influence in Europe, turning back the clock and retreating from the global power networks of the 21st century.Brexit would bring some clear-cut advantages, said The Economist before the referendum.The UK “would regain control over fishing rights around its coast”, for example.But it concluded that the most likely outcome would be that Britain would find itself “a scratchy outsider with somewhat limited access to the single market, almost no influence and few friends”.The UK will remain a member of Nato and the UN, but it may be regarded as a less useful partner by its key ally, the US.The American government said it feared that the “EU referendum is a dangerous gamble that could unravel with disastrous consequences for the entire continent”.Security Former work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith, who was in favour of Brexit, said we were leaving the “door open” to terrorist attacks by remaining in the EU.“This open border does not allow us to check and control people,” he said.However, a dozen senior military figures, including former chiefs of defence staff Lord Bramall and Jock Stirrup, argued the opposite.In a letter released by No 10, they said that the EU is an “increasingly important pillar of our security”, especially at a time of instability in the Middle East and in the face of “resurgent Russian nationalism and aggression”.Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has also said the UK benefitted from being part of the EU, as well as Nato and the United Nations.“It is through the EU that you exchange criminal records and passenger records and work together on counter-terrorism,” he said.“We need the collective weight of the EU when you are dealing with Russian aggression or terrorism.” In contrast, Colonel Richard Kemp, writing in The Times, said these “critical bilateral relationships” would persist regardless of membership, and that it was “absurd” to suggest that the EU would put its own citizens, or the UK's, at greater risk by reducing cooperation in the event of Brexit.“By leaving, we will again be able to determine who does and does not enter the UK,” said Kemp, a former head of the international terrorism team at the Cabinet Office.“Failure to do so significantly increases the terrorist threat here, endangers our people and is a betrayal of this country.”

The country has just taken part in a giant democratic exercise –perhaps the biggest in our history.Over 33 million people –from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar–have all had their say.这个国家刚刚进行了一场大型的民主活动，这也许是我们历史上最大的一次。超过3300万来自英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士、北爱尔兰和直布罗陀的人民表达了他们的声音。

We should be proud of the fact that in these islands we trust the people with these big decisions.我们应该为这个事实感到骄傲。在这片国土上，我们相信这些岛屿上人民做出重大选择。

We not only have a parliamentarydemocracy, but on questions about the arrangements for how we are governed, there are times when it is right to ask the people themselves, and that is what we have done.我们不仅拥有议会民主制度，而且还在如何管理这个国家的问题上，我们也会适时征求人民的意愿。对此我们已经做到了。

The British people have voted to leave the European Union and their will must be respected.英国人民投票选择离开欧盟，他们的意愿必须得到尊重。

I want to thank everyone who took part in the campaign on my side of the argument, including all those who put asideparty differences to speak in what they believed was the national interest.我要感谢在这场公投里和我持相同意见的每个人，这其中包括摈弃政党偏见来表达他们对国家利益信念的所有人。
