英国首相卡梅伦就职演讲

1 / 14 英国首相卡梅伦就职演讲 英国邦德律师行 英国新首相就职演讲 英文联播 我刚去过白金汉宫，女王陛下要我组建新政府，我接受了。 I have just been to Buckingham Palace where Her Majesty the Queen has asked me to form a new government, and I accepted. 我沿戴维卡梅伦的足迹前行，他是一位伟大、现代的首相。在卡梅伦的领导 下，政府稳定了经济，降低了财政赤字，帮助比以往更多的人找到工作。 In David Cameron, I follow in the footsteps of a great, modern prime minister. Under Davids leadership, the government stabilized the economy, reduced the budget deficit, and helped more people into work than ever before. 但戴维真正的遗产并非搞经济，而是社会公正。他认可同性婚姻，让低收入人群彻底免交所得税。 But Davids true legacy is not about the economy, but about social justice. From the introduction of same-sex marriage, to taking people on low wages out 2 / 14 of income tax altogether. 卡梅伦领导 了一国政府，我将本着这种精神执政。不是所有人都清楚，我所在的党的全称是保守和统一党。统一一词对我而言至关重要。这表明我相信统一，这是英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰之间十分珍贵的结合。 David Cameron has led a one nation government and it is in that spirit that I also plan to lead. Because not everybody knows this, but the full title of my party is the Conservative and Unionist Party. And that word Unionist is very important to me. It means we believe in the Union. That precious, precious bond betweenEngland, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. 可它还意味着同样重要的东西，它意味着我们不仅相信联合王国的统一，还相信所有公 民的统一，每个人，不论我们是谁，我们从哪里来。 But it means something else that is just as important. It means that we believe in a Union not just of the nations of the United Kingdom, but between all of our citizens. Every one of us, whoever we are and wherever we are from. 那意味着要反对迫切的不公正。如果你出身贫穷，就比其他人少活九年 ;如果你是黑人，相比于白人会受到司3 / 14 法体系更严厉的惩罚。 That means fighting against the burning injustice that if you are born poor, you will die on average nine years earlier than others. If youre black, youre treated more harshly by the criminal justice system than if you are white. 如果你是白人工人阶级的男孩，在英国上大学的机会最低。如果你上国立学校，相比接受私立教育的人获得顶尖工作的机会要少。 If youre a white, working-class boy, youre less likely than anyone else in Britain to go to university. If youre at a state school, youre less likely to reach the top professions than if you were educated privately. 如果你是一个妇女，你赚的比男人少。如果你有精神疾病，会缺少帮助。如果你是年轻人，会比前人更难拥有自己的住房。 If you are a woman, you will earn less than a man. If you suffer from mental health problems, theres not enough help to hand. If youre young, youll find it harder than ever before to own your own home. 可让英国成为为所有人服务这一使命不仅意味着4 / 14 应对这些不公。 But the mission to make Britain a country that works for everyone means more than just fighting these injustices. 如果你来自普通工人阶级家庭，生活比政府里许多人知道的更艰难。你有工作，可往往并不稳定。 If youre from an ordinary working-class family, life is much harder than many people in Westminster realize. You have the job, but you dont always have the job security. 你有房子，可担心付不起月 供。你还能凑合活，却担心生活费增加，没法把孩子送进好学校。 You have your own home, but you worry about paying the mortgage. You can just about manage, but you worry about the cost of living and getting your kids into a good school. 如果你来自这些家庭，如果你也凑合活着，我想要直接和你说：我知道你起早 贪黑，我知道你竭尽全力，我知道生活有时是一种挣扎。我领导的政府不会被一小撮特权群体的利益驱使，而会因你的利益而奔走。 If youre one of those families. If youre just want to address you directly. I know youre working 5 / 14 around the clock, I know youre doing your best, and I know that sometimes, life can be a struggle. The government I lead will be driven not by the interests of a privileged few, but by yours. 我们将尽一切所能让你更好掌控自己的生活。我们做重大决定时，我们想的不是那些有权之人，而是你们。我们通过新法时，我们不听那些有势之人，而是你们。当收税时，我们不会优先考虑那些有钱之人，而是你们。当提供机会时，我们不会只给予那些少数幸运之人。 We will do everything we can to give you more control over your lives. When we take the big calls, well think not of the powerful but you. When we pass new laws, well listen not to the mighty, but you. 英国新首相戴维卡梅伦就职演说，全文如下： HER MAJESTY the queen has asked me to form a new government and I have accepted。 Before I talk about that new government, let me say something about the one that has just passed. Compared with a decade ago, this country is more open at home and more compassionate abroad, and that is something we should all be grateful for。 On behalf of the whole country Id like to pay 6 / 14 tribute to the outgoing prime minister, for his long record of dedicated public service。 In terms of the future, our country has a hung parliament where no party has an overall majority and we have some deep and pressing problems a huge deficit, deep social problems and a political system in need of reform。 For those reasons, I aim to form a proper and full coalition between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. I believe that is the right way to provide this country with the strong, the stable, the good and decent government that I think we need so badly。 Nick Clegg and I are both political leaders who want to put aside party differences and work hard for the common good and for the national interest. I believe that is the best way to get the strong government that we need, decisive government that we need today。 I came into politics because I love this country, I think its best days still lie ahead and I believe deeply in public service. And I think the service our 7 / 14 country needs right now is to face up to our really big challenges, to confront our problems, to take difficult decisions, to lead people through those difficult decisions, so that together we can reach better times ahead。 One of the tasks that we clearly have is to rebuild trust in our political system. Yes, that s about cleaning up expenses; yes, that s about reforming parliament; and yes, it s about making sure people are in control and that the politicians are always their servants and never their masters。 But I believe it s also something else. Its about being honest about what government can achieve. Real change is not what government can do on its own. Real change is when everyone pulls together, comes together, works together, when we all exercise our responsibilities to ourselves, to our families, to our communities and to others。 And I want to help build a more responsible society here in Britain, one where we don t just ask what are my entitlements? but what are my responsibilities? . One where 8 / 14 we don t just ask what am I just owed? but more what can I give? . And a guide for that society, that those who can, should, and those who can t, we will always help。 I want to make sure that my government always looks after the elderly, the frail, the poorest in our country. We must take everyone through with us on some of the difficult decisions that we have ahead。 Above all, it will be a government that will be built on some clear values values of freedom, values of fairness, and values of responsibility。 I want us to build an economy that rewards work, I want us to build a society with stronger families and stronger communities, and I want a political system that people can trust and look up to once again。 This is going to be hard and difficult work. A coalition will throw up all sorts of challenges. But I believe together we can provide that strong and stable government that our country needs, based on those values rebuilding family, rebuilding community, above all rebuilding responsibility in our country。 Those are the things that I care about, those are the 9 / 14 things that this government will now start work on doing。 Thank you。 HER MAJESTY the queen has asked me to form a new government and I have accepted。 女王陛下已经授权予我组建新政府，我已接受了这一任命。 Before I talk about that new government, let me say something about the one that has just passed. Compared with a decade ago, this country is more open at home and more compassionate abroad we should all be grateful for。 在谈论新政府之前，请允许我谈一谈最近刚刚发生过的一件事情。与十年前相比，这个国家对内更加开放，对外更加富有同情心，我们都应该为此感到高兴。 On behalf of the whole country, I d like to the outgoing prime minister, for his long record of dedicated public service。 我谨代表这个国家，对长期致力于公共服务的前任首相深表赞扬。 Dedicated service to:竭诚服务 In terms of the future, our country has a hung parliament where no party has an overall majority and 10 / 14 we have some a huge deficit, deep social problems and a political system in need of reform。 就未来而言，我们的议会无任何党派占明显多数，我们面临着一些深层次而紧迫的问题，例如庞大的赤字、深层次的社会问题以及需要改革的政治制度。 For those reasons, I aim to form a proper and full coalition between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. I believe that is the right way to provide this country with the strong, the stable, the good and decent government that I think we need so badly。 基于这些原因，我计划在保守党和自由民主党间组建合宜、完整的联盟。我想，这是为国家提供一个我认为我们非常需要的强大、稳定、完善、亲民的政府的正确途径。 Nick Clegg and I are both political leaders who want to put aside party differences and work hard for the common good and for the national interest. I believe that is the best way to get the strong government that we need, decisive government that we need today。 尼克克莱格和我都是希望撇开党派差异、为共同利益、为国家利益而努力的领导人。我认为，这是打造我们所需要的强大政府的最佳途径，是打造今天我们需要的果断11 / 14 的政府的最佳途径。 I came into politics because I love this country, I think its best days still lie ahead and I believe deeply inface up tochallenges, to confront our problems, to take difficult decisions, to lead people through those difficult decisions, so that together we can reach better times ahead。 我之所以从政，是因为我热爱这个国家，我相信最好的日子还在前面，我深信公共服务。我认为，国家最需要的政府做的，是直面真正的大挑战，直面问题，做出艰难决定，并领导人民克服这些困难，这样我们就能够一起迈向更美好的明天。 One of the tasks rebuild trust in our political system. Yes, that s about cleaning up expenses; yes, that s about reforming parliament; and yes, it s about making sure people are in control and that the politicians are always their servants and never their masters。 很明显，我们的任务之一就是重建对政治体系的信任。是的，这就要求我们清理开支、 改革议会、保证人民的主宰地位并确保政治家始终是人民的公仆，而非主人。 12 / 14 But I believe it s also something else. It s about being honest about Real change is not Real change is when everyone comes together, works together, when we all exercise our responsibilities to ourselves, to our families, to our communities and to others。 但是我相信还有其他方面。这关乎于要诚实地表现政府可能达到的业绩。真正的变革不是仅靠政府之力就能完成的。真正的变革需要所有人齐心协力、众志成城，需要我们每个人完成自己的责任，为自己，为家庭，为社会，也为其他人。 And I want to help build a more responsible society here in Britain, one where we don t just ask ?what are my entitlements? but ?what are my responsibilities? ; One where we don t just ask ?what am I just owed? but more ?what can I give? . And a guide for that , we will always help。 我希望帮助不列颠建立一个更加有责任感的社会。在这样一个社会，我们不会只问我们的权利是什么，而是要问我们的责任 是什么；在这样一个社会，我们不会只问我应该感激谁，而是问我能够给予什么。为了实现这样的社会，不管是对那些能够做到、愿意做到还是不能做到的人，我们都应该始终给予帮助。 13 / 14 I want to make sure that my government always looks after the elderly, the frail, the poorest in our country. We must take everyone through wi
