英汉对照
On Friday evening last I received from His Majesty the mission to form a new administration.It was the evident will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest possible basis and that it should include all parties.I have already completed the most important part of this task.A war cabinet has been formed of five members, representing, with the Labor, Opposition and Liberals, the unity of the nation.It was necessary that this should be done in one single day on account of the extreme urgency and rigor of events.Other key positions were filled yesterday.I am submitting a further list to the King tonight.I hope to complete the appointment of principal Ministers during tomorrow.The appointment of other Ministers usually takes a little longer.I trust when Parliament meets again this part of my task will be completed and that the administration will be complete in all respects.I considered it in the public interest to suggest to the Speaker that the House should be summoned today.At the end of today's proceedings, the adjournment of the House will be proposed until May 2l with provision for earlier meeting if need be.Business for that will be notified to M.P.'s at the earliest opportunity.I now invite the House by a resolution to record its approval of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new government.The resolution:
“That this House welcomes the formation of a government representing the united and inflexible resolve of the nation to prosecute the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion.”
To form an administration of this scale and complexity is a serious undertaking in itself.But we are in the preliminary Phase of one of the greatest battles in history.We are in action at any other points-in Norway and in Holland-and we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean.The air battle is continuing, and many preparations have to be made here at home.In this crisis I think I may be pardoned if I do not address the House at any length today, and I hope that any of my friends and colle
agues or for mer colleagues who are affected by the political reconstruction will make all allowances for any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act.I say to the House as I said to Ministers who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind.We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering.You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea and air.War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime.That is our policy.You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word, It is victory.Victory at all costs-victory in spite of all terrors-victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.Let that be realized.No survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall move forward toward his goal.I take up my task in buoyancy and hope.I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men.I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, “Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength.”

“热血、汗水和眼泪”
温斯顿·丘吉尔
1940年5月13日
上星期五晚上,我奉陛下之命,组织新的一届政府.
按国会和国民的意愿,新政府显然应该考虑建立在尽可能广泛的基础上,应该兼容所有的党派.
我已经完成了这项任务的最主要的部分.战时内阁已由五人组成,包括工党、反对党和自由党,这体现了举国团结一致.
由于事态的极端紧急和严峻,新阁政府须于一天之内组成,其他的关键岗位也于昨日安排就绪.今晚还要向国王呈报一份名单.我希望明天就能完成几位主要大臣的任命.
其余大臣们的任命照例得晚一些.我相信,在国会下一次召开时,任命将告完成,臻于完善.
为公众利益着想,我建议议长今天就召开国会.今天的议程结束时,建议休会到5月21日,并准备在必要时提前开会.有关事项当会及早通知各位议员.
现在我请求国会作出决议,批准我所采取的各项步骤,启示记录在案,并且声明信任新政府.决议如下:
“本国会欢迎新政府的组成,她体现了举国一致的坚定不移的决心:对德作战,直到最后胜利.”
组织如此规模和如此复杂的政府原本是一项重大的任务.但是我们正处于历史上罕见的一场大战的初始阶段.我们在其他许多地点作战--在挪威,在荷兰,我们还必须在地中海做好准备.空战正在继续,而且在本土也必须做好许多准备工作.
值此危急关头,我想,即使我今天向国会的报告过于简略,也当能见谅.我还希望所有在这次改组中受到影响的朋友、同僚和旧日的同僚们对必要的礼仪方面的任何不周之处能毫不介意.
我向国会表明,一如我向入阁的大臣们所表明的,我所能奉献的唯有热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水我们所面临的将是一场极其严酷的考验,将是旷日持久的斗争和苦难.
若问我们的政策是什么?我的回答是:在陆上、海上、空中作战.尽我们的全力,尽上帝赋予我们的全部力量去作战,对人类黑暗、可悲的罪恶史上空前凶残的暴政作战.这就是我们的政策.
若问我们的目标是什么?我可以用一个词来回答,那就是胜利.不惜一切代价,去夺取胜利--不惧一切恐怖,去夺取胜利--不论前路如何漫长、如何艰苦,去夺取胜利.因为没有胜利就不能生存.
我们务必认识到,没有胜利就不复有大英帝国,没有胜利就不复有大英帝国所象征的一切,没有胜利就不复有多少世纪以来的强烈要求和冲动:人类应当向自己的目标迈进.
我精神振奋、满怀信心地承担起我的任务.我确信,大家联合起来,我们的事业就不会遭到挫败.
在此时此刻的危急关头,我觉得我有权要求各方面的支持.我要说:“来吧,让我们群策群力,并肩前进!”

我们将战斗到底
演讲时间:1940年6月4日
1940年6月4日丘吉尔在下院通报了敦刻尔克撤退成功,但是也提醒“战争不是靠撤退打赢的。”随后丘吉尔旋即发表了他在二战中最鼓舞人心的一段演说:
这次战役尽管我们失利,但我们决不投降,决不屈服,我们将战斗到底。
我们必须非常慎重,不要把这次援救说成是胜利。战争不是靠撤退赢得的。但是,在这次援救中却蕴藏着胜利,这一点应当注意到。这个胜利是空军获得的。归来的许许多多士兵未曾见到过我们空军的行动,他们看到的只是逃脱我们空军掩护性攻击的敌人轰炸机。他们低估了我们空军的成就。关于这件事,其理由就在这里。我一定要把这件事告诉你们。
这是英国和德国空军实力的一次重大考验。德国空军的目的是要是我们从海滩撤退成为不可能,并且要击沉所有密集在那里数以千计的船只。除此之外,你们能想象出他们还有更大的目的吗?除此而外,从整个战争的目的来说,还有什么更大的军事重要性和军事意义呢?他们曾全力以赴,但他们终于被击退了;他们在执行他们的任务中遭到挫败。我们把陆军撤退了,他们付出的代价,四倍于他们给我们造成的损失......已经证明,我们所有的各种类型的飞机和我们所有的飞行人员比他们现在面临的敌人都要都好。
当我们说在英伦三岛上空抵御来自海外的袭击将对我们更有好处时,我应当指出,我从这些事实里找到了一个可靠的论据,我们实际可行而有万无一失的办法就是根据这个论据想出来的。我对这些青年飞行员表示敬意。强大的法国陆军当时在几千辆装甲车的冲击下大部分溃退了。难道不可以说,文明事业本身将有数千飞行员的本领和忠诚来保护吗?
有人对我说,希特勒先生有一个入侵英伦三岛的计划,过去也时常有人这么盘算过。当拿破仑带着他的平底船和他的大军在罗涅驻扎一年之后,有人对他说:“英国那边有厉害的杂草。”自从英国远征军归来后,这种杂草当然就更多了。
我们目前在英国本土拥有的兵力比我们在这次大战中或上次大战中任何时候的兵力不知道要强大多少倍,这一事实当然对抵抗入侵本土防御问题其有利作用。但不能这样继续下去。我们不能满足于打防御战,我们对我们的盟国负有义务,我们必须再重新组织在英勇的总司令戈特勋爵指挥下发动英国远征军。这一切都在进行中,但是在这段期间,我们必须使我们本土上的防御达到这样一种高度的组织水平,即只需要极少数的人便可以有效地保障安全,同时又可发挥攻势活动最大的潜力。我们现在正进行着方面的部署。
这次战役尽管我们失利,但我们决不投降,决不屈服,我们将战斗到底,我
们将在法国战斗,我们将在海洋上战斗,我们将充满信心在空中战斗!我们将不惜任何代价保卫本土,我们将在海滩上战斗!在敌人登陆地点作战!在田野和街头作战!在山区作战!我们任何时候都不会投降。即使我们这个岛屿或这个岛屿的大部分被敌人占领,并陷于饥饿之中,我们有英国舰队武装和保护的海外帝国也将继续战斗。
这次战役我军死伤战士达三万人,损失大炮近千门,海峡两岸的港口也都落入希特勒手中,德国将向我国或法国发动新的攻势,已成为既定的事实。法兰西和比利时境内的战争,已成为千古憾事。法军的势力被削弱,比利时的军队被歼灭,相比较而言,我军的实力较为强大。现在已经是检验英德空军实力的时候到了!撤退回国的士兵都认为,我们的空军未能发挥应有的作用,但是,要知道我们已经出动了所有的飞机,用尽了所有的飞行员,以寡敌众,绝非这一次!在今后的时间内,我们可能还会遭受更严重的损失,曾经让我们深信不疑的防线,大部分被突破,很多有价值的工矿都已经被敌人占领。从今后,我们要做好充分准备,准备承受更严重的困难。对于防御性战争,决不能认为已经定局!我们必须重建远征军,我们必须重建远征军,我们必须加强国防,必须减少国内的防卫兵力,增加海外的打击力量。在这次大战中,法兰西和不列颠将联合一起,决不屈服,决不投降!

第五篇:丘吉尔演讲稿
Sure I am that this day Now we are the masters of our fate That the task which has been set us is not above our strength That its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance As long as we have faith in our cause And an unconquerable will-power Salvation will not be denied us
Twice in a single generation The catastrophe of world war has fallen upon us Twice in our lifetime Has the long arm of fate reached out across the oceans To bring the United States into the forefront of the battle If we had kept together after the last war If we had taken common measures for our safety This renewal of the curse need never have fallen upon us
Do we not owe it to ourselves To our children To tormented mankind To make sure that these catastrophes do not engulf us for the third time?
