第一篇：璀璨苏格兰演讲英文文稿3

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening ,ladies and gentleman.I don’t know exactly the time when you will watch this video, so, I send all greetings.Hope you can enjoy the next twenty minutes.It won’t be too boring, I promise.First, let me introduce myself.My name isHe Jiao, a freshman in the Central South University of Forestry and Technology, studying International economy and trade.The theme of my speech today is about the comparison in one specific aspect between cultures of Scotland and comtemporary China :theScottish kilt and the Chinese Chi-pao.You can see the skirt I wear today is with Scottish features.I think it’s awesome.I love it.What do you think? Actually, I truly wish I were a boy now.If so ,I can demonstrate the culture of kilt better ,worn like this.Scottish men’s wearing a kilt is the highlight.But the skirt I wear now is not the traditional kilt.A Scottish kilt has knee-deep length, collocating with a vest which has the same tone and a tweed Jacket andsilk thick stockings.A Leather skirt fastened with a wide belt hanging below a big purse.A tweed scarf hanging in the middle of the front, and sometimes bare shoulders also are disclosed an oblique plaid blanket, pinned to the left shoulder.Like this.In addition, if we look at it carefully, we can find there has a very subtle ornament—a pin in the kilt’s corner.This pin doesn’t pin two pieces of cloth together,but only one.Why？Because it justadds to the kilt’s weight,letting it droop.Thus, the skirt will not be blown uncovered.There are a variety of plaids in the Scottish kilts.But plaids are not just designed for the beauty.Each plaid represents a family name.so even if people do not know each other, they can recognize each other by the kilt.Scots are also very concerned about how to namethe kilt.The square pattern on behalf of the company and the family recorded in register is called tarten, others general square pattern are called cheque.In the 17th and 18th century ,scottish highlands had year-round endless warsbetween tribes.The men on the battlefield had to wear plaid to identify themselves, it’s just like the current “military uniform.” And now, a military band cannot play music without wearingkilt in Scotland.The British royal family also meets foreign guests with kilts.This shows the importance andthe status of the Scottish kilt.The saying “ a kilt is equal to the history of the British Empire” really has no exaggeration.By the way, in Scotland, there is a custom that men do not wear underwear with a kilt.From such an interesting story: 300 years ago, in a battle to defend the Scottish Highlands, an officer suddenly forced the soldiers to take off the kilt and underwear , wearing only a shirt to fight.Seeing this, the enemy thought they were crazy, then turned around and fled.Since then, the custom wearing a kiltwithout underwear is spreadwidely.Today, the kilt is popular everywhere ,and it wasreformed several times, becoming common in daily clothing.It also plays an increasingly important role in the fashion , and isloved by morepopular stars and designers, more frequently getting on the fashion stage.Besides, as more and more derivatives from the square pattern appear ,the plaid ,as an element ,has penetrated into a variety of costume and even architectural design.Such as plaid shirt, plaid coat,plaid bag, plaid scarf.I appreciate the kilt very much, but I didn’t find any poems about it ,so I wrote one myself.I just want to express my love of the kilt.The title is the invitation of life.The Invitation of Life

I cannot forget your passionate face ,like fire

I cannot forget your flowing emotion,like water

The rays from your square

Like light’s resplendence

Shine into my heart

You are a holy virgin

You are a flourishing blossom

You hide in the wind

And keep in the highland

I can see

Your skirt is swinging

Your color is swaying

As if you

Sent me a life invitation

Soplease come to my arms

OrLet me live in your heart

He Jiao

Thank you!Oh, how wonderful I am!the poem is great,right? Maybe I could consider to be a poet in the future, ifI cannot find any job.Just kidding.Let’s return to the subject.I really think that kilts can be included in the must-have items!Referring the must-have item, I must mention Chinese Chi-pao!Last decades, chi-pao appeared frequently in the international fashion stage, And it was the representative of nation as a kind of formal dress ,appearing in a variety of ceremonial occasions and the international communities.On the streets , we can see people wearing it as they regard it as a fashion style.First, let’s watch a video.That's so amazing!I am very fond of the Chi-pao, because its cut and design can perfectly show the shape of the curve of a woman, giving people the impression of Eastern women’s sex appeal , gentleness, decency and so on.Additionally, wearing Chi-pao can improve women’s sitting and walking temperament , shaping her into to an elegant woman.A Scottish kilt is made of pure wool, by handworkin scotland.Similarly, a Chi—pao with Chinese characteristics also has some requirements.It’s generally believed that a modern chi-pao has the following features : standing collar;waist

line;round buttons;slits in leg side.But chi—pao still has a lot of styles incollar, material, color, pattern and button.They can have many changes in details.However,the most special design with ethnic characteristics are Chinese Collarand hand-making buttons.Also worth mentioning isthe traditional Chinese Chi-pao’s pattern decoration, such as rich flowers, plum blossoms andthe floral patterns with Chinese ink paintings.All of these enrich Chinese elements ,makingchi—pao’s Chinese features more obvious.This unique design and excellent handwork gives Chi-pao more of a delicate beauty.Asthe most representative clothes of a country, kilts and chi-paos all reflectthe evolution, development and innovation of the culture.Meanwhile ,it reflects the national people’sawareness of the beauty and national people’s character.Scots are enthusiastic andlively, however, Chinese women have reserved style.Moreover,it reflects the inner spirit of a nation.Today, in the cultural exchanging world ,kilts and chi-paos are not only

belonging to their own residents, but also can be appreciated, loved and worn by people all over the world.They all have made huge contributions to the modern fashion.And it does impact every detail of our lives.This is the charm and magic of the culture!Kilts do not conflict with chi-paos , I can like both, And I do love both.I think we should treat cultural differences with a tolerant attitude and seek common ground.Under the background of globalization,the combination of different cultures is the major trend.Like a popular drinking way in China, mixing a kind ofwhiskey ,exported from Scotland ,named Chivas,with a typicalChinese drinking-tea together, I really hope that one day a piece of clothing could have both Scottish and Chinesefeatures.Maybe it could be the style of that,the upperis chi-pao, the rest is the kilt.Fashion changes fast, who knows the future.Kilts and chi-paos are just two micro shadows under Scottish and Chinese culture.I hope China and Scotland could have more and more cooperations and developments in the aspect of the culture, making more significant progress for human beings.Finally, I would like to express my love of Scotland and the yearning to study there.I very want to be a disseminator of Chinese-Scottish culture, letting people in China and Scottland understand and love each other more,Perhaps one day, I will wear a chi-pao ,sitting in the Highlands ,enjoying the bagpipes, telling the local people about Chinese history!

Thank you for listening!

第二篇：英文演讲文稿

大家好，今天我演讲的题目是“生活”

Hello everyone, today my topic is “Life” 我的报告分两部分，第一部分介绍什么是生活。第二部分介绍怎么去生活。

My report is divided into two parts, the first part of the introduction of what life is.The second part describes how to live life.什么是生活，第一点，生活中我们往往因为缺乏对自我的认知而错过了我们很多原本属于自己的生活，生活总是在不经意间见错过了那些最美好的东西。所以请留意你生活中的细节。

What is life？First point，In our life, we often miss us because of the lack of self-awareness and miss us a lot of our own lives, life always missed those most beautiful things.So please pay attention to the details of your life.第二点，尊重人比尊重头衔重要，每个人的生命都有自己的价值。在这里的“头衔”是指他人的评价，也就是所谓的面子，我们往往太在意他人的评价而忽略了自己最真实的需求，有一句话说的很好“外面只有自己，没有别人”；这句话反过来说也挺有意义：“里面只有别人，没有自己”，真正的忽略了别人的评价。其实，我们在生活的道场中要认真的反思与修行。

Second point，“Respect people over job titles.Everyone’s life has meaning.”

“Title” here refers to the evaluation of others, also is the so-called face, we are too care about others' evaluation and ignore the needs of their most true, there's a phrase said very well “outside only yourself, no one else”;, in turn, said this sentence is quite meaningful, “only others, does not have”, really ignore others' evaluation.In fact, we need to rethink and practice seriously in life.第二部分，如何生活？第一点，不要轻易说“不”.学会重新认识拒绝。当你努力想要成为领导者或者建立公司的时候，人们会经常告诉你“不行”。但是与其把这个NO视为事情的结束，不如把它看作一个寻找原因的机会：你是不是找了错误的人?你是不是还没有展现出你具有承担这个新责任的能力? 水滴石穿，NO会变成另一个等待，学习和再次尝试的机会。

Part 2, How to live? First point，Do not say “no”.Learn to recognize rejection.Whether you’re working towards a leadership position or building a company, people will frequently tell you no.Instead of seeing it as a shutdown, look at it as an opportunity to figure out why.Are you asking the wrong person? Have you not yet demonstrated

you

can

handle

the

new responsibility? Over time, ‘no’ becomes just another opportunity to wait, learn and try again.第二点，挑战自我.找到一个挑战自己的事业。问自己:“我是否为我的工作感到自豪”？如果你不去热爱你的工作与生活，不能发现工作与生活中的价值，再大的努力你的人生体验都会停留在峰底.Second point，Challenge yourself.“Find a place where you can be challenged.Ask yourself: Am I proud of my work ?”If you don't love your work and life, you can't find the value of work and life, and your life experience will stay at the bottom of the peak.第3，回顾过去的经历。当你进入你人生的新阶段，别忘了停下来回头看看，去发现你过去经历的意义。它可以让你更好的了解你是谁，将到哪里去，如何去那里。

No.3，Review past experience。“As you move forward into the next stage of your life, do not forget to stop and look back to discover the meaning of where you have been.That will help you better understand who you are, where you may be heading, and how you can get there.”

第4，受到教育不等于聪明。别把受到教育这件事和聪明这件事混为一个概念。特别是在中国，别把自己的高等教育当回事，真正的思考能力、创新能力及优秀的品格才是职业发展的源动力。

No.4，Being educated is not smart。“Never confuse being educated with being smart.” Especially in China, higher education don't take yourself seriously, the real thinking ability, innovation ability and good character is the source power of career development.第5，诚实比什么都重要。诚实的对待自己，愿意学习，愿意被指导。NO.5，Honesty is more important than anything。“Be true to yourself.Be willing to learn and to be coachable.”

第6，拥有感恩的心。回报用感恩的心，感恩身边的人和事。怀感恩之心的人，内心总是充满了感动，这是一种幸福生活的方式。NO.6，Have a heart of gratitude。“Give back—serve from a sense of gratitude.” The heart of Thanksgiving, the heart is always full of moving, this is a way of happy life.第7，坚持。坚持，坚持，再坚持。虽然生活中有很多困难、痛苦，但我们坚信，今天很难，明天更难，但后天终将美好 NO.7，Stick with it。

Although there are many difficulties in life, pain, but we believe one thing，today is difficult，tomorrow is more difficult，but the day after tomorrow is beautiful。So“Stick with it，and keep moving”

Some people say: This is the worst of times，有人说，这是最坏的时代，while the other people say: this is the best of times.也有人说，这是最好的时代。But in the face of this complicated era, 但是面对这个复杂的时代

you can never find truth by poking one eye out.你永远无法通过戳瞎自己的一只眼睛来寻求真相。

If you are bright, life will never be dark.你光明，生活便不黑暗。

你好，请问你今天为什么做这个主题的演讲呢？因为我认为现在有太多的人生活很悲观，但我相信正因为世界是不完美，所以才需要我们 Hello, could you tell me why are you doing today this theme speech ?Because I think there are too many people now living is very pessimistic , But I believe that is because the world is not perfect, so it needs us.你好，请问你如何看待中国未来的发展呢？

Hello, How do you see the future development of China? 每件事都会变，问题在于前进还是后退。

Everything will change.The only question is growing up or decaying.我想借用马云的一句话：

I would like to borrow Ma's words:(我们坚信，今天很难，明天更难，但后天终将美好)

We believe one thing，today is difficult，tomorrow is more difficult，but the day after tomorrow is beautiful。

第三篇：乔布斯斯坦福演讲英文文稿

Steve Jobs’ Speech in Stanford

(This is a prepared text of the Commencement address delivered by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, on June 12, 2005.)I am honored to be with you today for(at)your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world.Truth be told, I never graduated from college.And this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation.Today, I want to tell you three stories from my life.That's it.No big deal.Just three stories.The first story is about connecting the dots.I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit.So why did I drop out? It started before I was born.My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption.She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife.Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl.So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: “We got an unexpected baby boy, do you want him?” They said: “Of course.” My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and my father had never graduated from high school.She refused to sign the final adoption papers.She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college.This was a start in my life.And 17 years later I did go to college.But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition.After six months, I couldn't see the value in it.I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out.And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life.So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK.It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made.The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interesting.It wasn't all romantic.I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5￠ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple.I loved it.And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.Let me give you one example:Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country.Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed.Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this.I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great.It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life.But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me.And we designed it all into the Mac.It was the first computer with beautiful typography.If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts.And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do.Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college.But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards.So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma whatever.Because believing that these dots would connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you off the well-worn path and that will make all the difference.My second story is about love and loss.I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life.Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20.We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees.We just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30.And then I got fired.How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well.But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out.When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him.So at 30 I was out.And very publicly out.What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.I really didn't know what to do for a few months.I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs downthese things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.You are already naked.There is no reason not to follow your heart.About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer.I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas.I didn't even know what a pancreas was.The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months.My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die.It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months.It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family.It means to say your goodbyes.I lived with that diagnosis all day.Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor.I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery.I had the surgery and thankfully I'm fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades.Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:No one wants to die.Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there.And yet death is the destination we all share.No one has ever escaped it.And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life.It is Life's change agent.It clears out the old to make way for the new.Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking.Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.They somehow already know what you truly want to become.Everything else is secondary.When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation.It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch.This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras.It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along.It was idealistic and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue.It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age.On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous.Beneath it were the words: “Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off.Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish.And I have always wished that for myself.And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish.Thank you all very much.4

第四篇：卡梅伦深情演讲挽留苏格兰文稿 完整版

卡梅伦深情演讲挽留苏格兰文稿

We meet in a week that could change the United Kingdom forever.Indeed, it could end the United Kingdom as we know it.这一周可能永远改变英国，还有可能让我们所有人熟知的‚United Kingdom‛不复存在...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.周四，你们开始投票，周五一早醒来，可能你们就已经身在一个不同的国家。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.我们要知道，此行一投，已再无退路，这就是一锤定音的一次投票。

If Scotland votesyes, the UK will split, and we will go our separate ways forever.如果苏格兰人投YES，那我们便会从此分道扬镳。

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 Enlightenmentthat abolished slavery that drove the industrial revolutionthat defeated fascism.the end of a countrythat people around the world respect and admire the end of a country that all of us call home.独立会终结一个国家，一个曾发起启蒙运动，发起工业革命，消灭了奴隶制，打败了法西斯赢得全球尊重，一个我们称为家的地方。

And we built this home together.It’s only become Great Britain because of the greatness of Scotland.国破，家亦不再...Because of the thinkers, writers, artists, leaders, soldiers, inventors who have made this country what it is.It's AlexanderFleming 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 pain stakingly building a home – andthen walking out the door and throwing away the keys.So I would say toeveryone 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 turna 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 thatthere 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.独立不是一次短暂的分居试验，而是一次永久的痛苦离婚。

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 havewould become international and may no longer be so easily crossed.It would meanthe automatic support that you currently get from British embassies when you’retravelling around the world would come to an end.It would mean overhalf 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 areno longer set by the Bank of England – with the stability and security thatpromises.It would meanno country is.Of course we must constantly change and improve people's lives.No-one is contentwhile there are still children living in poverty.No-one is content while thereare people struggling, and young people not reaching their potential.Yes, everypolitical party is different.But we are all ofus – Conservatives, Labour, Lib Dems, Nationalists – on a constant mission to change our country for the better.The question is: how do you get that change?For me it's simple.You don't get the change you want by ripping your country apart.只有不独立才能带来真正的变革。

You don't getchange by undermining your economy and damaging your businesses and diminishing your place in the world.But you can get real, concrete change on Thursday: ifyou vote No.’ Business as usual' is not on the ballot paper.The status quo isgone.This campaign has swept it away.There is no going back to the way things were.A vote for No means real change and we have spelled that change out inpractical terms, with a plan and a process.If we get a No voteon Thursday, that will trigger a major, unprecedented programme of devolutionwith additional powers for the Scottish Parliament.Major new powers over tax, spending and welfare services.We have agreed a timetable for that stronger Scottish Parliament: a time-table to bring in thenew powers that will go ahead if there is a No vote...a White Paper by November, put into draft legislation by January.This is a time table that is now agreed by all the main political parties and set in stone and I amprepared to work with all the main parties to deliver this during 2015.So a No voteactually means faster, fairer, safer and better change.And this is a vitalpoint: Scotland is not an observer in the affairs of this country.Scotland is shapingand changing the United Kingdom for the better – more so today than at anypoint in the last three hundred years and will continue to help shape theconstitution of our country.And Scottish people can enjoy the additional powers its Parliament gives without losing the UKpension, the UK pound or the UK passport.Real change is Scotland's for the taking.The power to set your own course and make your own decisions with thesecurity of being in the UK without the risks of going it alone.It's the best of both worlds.Scotland’s identity is already strong strong Scottish culture,strong Scottish arts, a strong Church of Scotland and in the last 15 years youhave built a strong Scottish Parliament not a fleeting institution but apermanent one.So the vote on Thursday is not about whether Scotland is a nation.Scotland is a proud, strong, successful nation.The vote on Thursday is about two competing visions forScotland’s future.The Nationalists’vision of narrowing down, going it alone, breaking all ties with the UK.Or the patriotic vision of a strong Scot-tish nation allied to the rest of the UnitedKingdom with its own stronger Scottish Parliament at its heart and with thebenefits of working together in the UK on jobs, pensions, healthcare funding,the currency, interest rates.It really is thebest of both worlds and it's the best way to get real change and secure abetter future for your children and grand-children.And speaking of family – that is quite simply how I feel about this.We are a family.The United King Dom isnot one nation.We are four nations in a single country.That can bedifficult but it is wonderful.Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland different nations, with individual identit-ies competing with each other even attimes enraging each other while still being so much stronger together.We are a family of nations.Why should the next generation of that family be forced to choose whether to identify only with Edinburgh or only with London choo-se which embassy they want to go to when they are in trouble abroad or pack their passport when they're going to see friends and loved ones? A family is not acompromise, or a second best, it is a magical identity, that makes us moretogether than we can ever be apart so please – do not break this family apart.In human relations it's almost never a good thing to turn away from eachother, put up walls, score new lines on the map.Why would we takeone Great Britain and turn it into separate smaller nations? What is that ananswer to? How will that helpthe ambitious young people who want to make their mark on the world or the pensioner who just wants security or the family relying on jobs make in the UK? Let no-one fool youthat ‘Yes' is a positive vision.It's about dividing people, closing doors,making foreigners of our friends and family.This isn't an optimistic vision.The optimistic vision is of our family of nations staying together there for each other in the hard times coming through to better times.We've just pulled through a great recession together.We’re moving forward together.The road has been long but it is finally leading upwards and that's why I ask you to vote Noto walking away.Vote No – and you are voting for a bigger and broader and better future for Scotland and you are investing in the future for your children and grand children.So this is our message to the people of Scotland: We want you to stay.Head and heart and soul, we want you to stay.我们希望你留下，从我们内心，头脑到灵魂最深处都希望你们留下 Please don't mix upthe temporary and the permanent.请不要弄混了‚暂时‛和‚永远‛的关系

Don't think: ‚I'm frustrated with politics right now, so I'll walk out the door and never come back.‛

请不要因为你不喜欢政治而选择离开我们

If you don't like me – I won't be here forever.If you don't like this Government – it won't last forever.But if you leave the UK – that will be forever.如果你们不喜欢我，我不会永远在这里，如果你们不喜欢这一届政府，这一届政府也不会永远在这里，但是你们选择独立，那就是永远了...Yes, the different parts of the UK don't always see eye-to-eye.Yes, we need change– and we will deliver it but to get that change, to get a brighter future, wedon't need to tear our country apart.In two days, this long campaign will be at an end.And as you stand in the stillness of the polling booth, I hope you will ask your-self this.Will my family andI truly be better off by going it alone? Will we really be more safe and secure?Do I really want to turn my back on the rest of Britain, and why is itthat so many people across the world are asking: why would Scotland want to dothat? Why? And if you don't know the answer to these questions – then vote No.At the end of the day, all the arguments of this campaign can be reduced to a single fact: we are better together.So as you reach your final decision, please don't let anyone tell you that you can't be aproud Scot and a proud Brit.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 ofnations 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.

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.
