卡梅伦伦敦暴乱讲话中英文对照
卡梅伦伦敦暴乱讲话中英文对照英国首相卡梅伦关于伦敦暴乱的讲话（中英双语）我是直接从政府的紧急会议赶来的，会上我们刚刚讨论了将采取何种行动帮助警方处理发生在伦敦街头以及我们国家其他地方的骚乱。
我已和伦敦警察总长以及内政大臣讨论过此事，大家应确信我们会尽一切努力恢复英国街头的秩序，以法律的名义维护其安全。
首先，我要强烈谴责我们已经在电视画面上和社区里所目睹的暴力场面。
这些场面令人作呕：一些人在哄抢、破坏、偷盗、抢劫，还有一些人袭击警察，甚至袭击在灭火的消防队员。
这是不折不扣、彻头彻尾的犯罪行为，必须被制止。
我对于那些深受其害的家庭、被烧毁房子的无辜平民、眼睁睁看着自己的财产毁于一旦，产品遭哄抢，生意被毁的店家表示深深的同情。
我也同情那些由于目睹我们国家街头骇人的暴力场景而惶惶不安的人们。
大家应坚定不移地相信我们站在合法的一方。
遵纪守法的人会对自己社区目前所发生的一切感到惊骇不已。
如以往一样，警方在对抗街头暴力的过程中显示了无与伦比的勇气，但很明显的是，我们需要更多的警力在街头抗暴，并且我们需要警方表现得更强硬一点，这也是我在今天早上紧急会议中所说的。
伦敦警察总长说，比起昨晚伦敦仅有6000名警察的情况，今晚将有约16000名警员部署到位。
伦敦警察总署的所有警察假期都已被取消。
来自全国各地的后援警力将源源赶来，我们将尽一切努力加强警力以及为警方提供支援，帮助他们制止乱局。
目前为止已有450人被逮捕。
我们将加快司法程序的步伐，人们将在接下来的日子里看到更多的歹徒归案。
我很确信政府已经坚决果断地决定伸张正义，不法之徒终将自食其果。
在此，我要明确地告诉那些应为自己的错误及犯罪行为负责的人，你们将感受法律的力量。
你们将为自己所犯的罪行付出与自己年龄相符的惩罚。
对于这些人我要说的是：你们所毁坏的不仅仅是别人的生活；你们所破坏的也不仅仅是自己的社区，你们也是在破坏自己的生活。
我的办公室今天早上已经和下议院议长谈过了，他同意周四重新召开议会，届时我将向议会发表讲话，以便大家展开讨论，所有人都可以在聚集在一起，谴责伦敦街头的暴行，同时讨论如何重建社区。
英国首相卡梅伦就职演讲
英国首相卡梅伦就职演讲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。
女王陛下要求我组建新一届政府，我已接受了这一要求。
在谈论新政府之前，请允许我先说一些最近发生的事情。
与十年前相比，这个国家在国内更加开发，对外更富有同情心，我们应该为此心存感激。
On behalf of the whole country I’d like to pay tribute to the outgoing prime minister, for his long record of dedicated public service。
代表这个国家，我将对长期致力于公共服务的前首相表示赞扬。
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。
就未来而言，我们的国家有一个无论任何党派都不占绝对优势的议会，我们还面临着一些深刻而迫切的问题-巨大的赤字，深刻的社会问题和需要改革的政治体制。
英国首相卡梅伦辞职演讲(英文稿)
Good morning everyone.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 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’ve 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 every one who took part in 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 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 thing were said by many different organizations 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 Briton has made. I would reassure those markets and investors that Britain’s economy is fundamentally strong. And I would also reassure the Brits in the European countries and European citizens living here that there would 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 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 honored to be Prime Minister of this country for six years. I believe we’ve 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’s helped to make that happen.I have also always believed that we have to confront big decisions, not doubt them. That is why we deliveredthe firstcoalition government in seventy years to bring our economy back from the brink. It is why we delivered a fair, legal and decisive referendum in Scotland. And it’s why I made the pledge to renegotiate Britain’s position in the European Union and to hold the 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 the British 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 had made a very clear decision to take a different path. And as such I think the country require fresh leadership to take it in this direction. I will do everything what 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’ve taken l ightly, but I do believe it’s 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 to have a new prime minister in place by the start of the Conservative Party conference in October. Delivering stability would be important, and I would continue in post as Prime Minister with my Cabinet for the next three month. The Cabinet will meet on Monday. The Governor of theBank of England is making a statement about the steps that the Bank and the Treasury are taking to reassure financial markets. We will also continuetaking forward the important legislation that we set in the Parliamentary in the Queen’s Speech. And I’ve spoken to Her Majesty the Queen this morningto advice our steps that I am taking. A negotiation with European Union will need to begin under a new Prime Minister. And I think it’s right that this new Prime Minister takes the decision about when to triggerArticle 50and start the formal and legal processes of leaving the EU. I would attend the European Council next week to explain the decision that 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.Briton 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 though. And while we are not perfect I do believe we can be a model for the 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 Europewas not the path I recommended, I am the first to praise our incredible strengths. I said before that Britain can survive outside the European Union, and indeed 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 andI feel honored to have served it, and I will do everything I can in future to help this great country succeed.Thank you very much.。

卡梅伦就职演说全文
"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.
5月11日，在英国伦敦，保守党领袖卡梅伦在唐宁街10号首相官邸前发表讲话。卡梅伦当晚接任首相职务，他应女王伊丽莎白二世的要求着手组建新一届政府。以下为他的讲话视频及全文：
"Her Majesty the Queen has asked me to form a new government and I have accepted.
"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.
"But I believe it is also something else. It is 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, where we all exercise our responsibilities to ourselves, to our families, to our communities and to others.

英国首相卡梅伦的演讲稿
英国首相卡梅伦的演讲稿篇1：英国首相卡梅伦的演讲稿英国首相卡梅伦的演讲稿My message to Britain’s small businesses is you are the lifeblood of our economy. Over 90% of firms in this country are small firms, over 60% people working in the private sector work for businesses like yours. So please keep doing what you are doing, creating the jobs, the wealth and the success our country needs. The government is on your side. We want to get out of your way by deregulating, by cutting your taxes, by making it easier for you to take people on, but we also want to stand up for small businesses, we want to help you with rates, we want to help you with procurement, we want to help make sure that you can export and succeed. And above all, what we’ve got to do together is stand up for enterprise, entrepreneurship and for the dynamism that you represent and that’s the future of our country. But above all, keep doing the great work. Thank you.篇2：英国首相卡梅伦复活节英语演讲稿英国首相卡梅伦复活节英语演讲稿Easter is the most important date in theChristian calendar, and an incredibly special timefor people across Britainand around the world. Last month I was in Jerusalem and Bethlehemand I got tosee for myself the places where Jesus was born and died. It was anextraordinaryexperience to be in those places where so much history began.Today, years on, Easter is not just atime for Christians across our country to reflect,but a time for our wholecountry to reflect on what Christianity brings to Britain. All over theUK,every day, there are countless acts of kindness carried out by those whobelieve in andfollow Christ. The heart of Christianity is to “love thyneighbor” and millions do really live thatout. I think of the Alpha coursesrun in our prisons, which work with offenders to give them anew life insideand outside prison, or the soup kitchens and homeless shelters run bychurches.And we saw that same spirit during the terrible storms that struck Britainearlier thisyear. From Somerset to Surrey, from Oxford to Devon, churchesbecame refuges, offeringshelter and food, congregations raised funds andrallied together, parish priests even canoedthrough their villages to rescueresidents. They proved, yet again, that people’s faith motivatesthem to dogood deeds.That is something this Government supportsand celebrates, and it’s why we haveannounced more funding for the NearNeighbours programme bringing together even morefaiths in even more cities todo social action. And as we celebrate Easter, let’s also think ofthose who areunable to do so, the Christians around the world who are ostracised, abused –evenmurdered – simply for the faith they follow. Religious freedom is anabsolute, fundamentalhuman right.Britain is mitted to protecting andpromoting that right, by standing up for Christiansand other minorities, athome and abroad. Our hearts go out to them, especially at this specialtime ofyear. So as we approach this festival I’d like to wish everyone, Christians andnon-Christians a very happy Easter.篇3：英国首相卡梅伦开斋节英语演讲稿英国首相卡梅伦开斋节英语演讲稿This Ramadan, we've seen the very best of British Muslim values. We've seen unprecedented charity – zakat – with thousands upon thousands of pounds raised for the needy.We've seen munity spirit, with inventive ways of breaking the fast with people of all faiths and none, from the Scouts' open-air iftar in Birmingham, to the iftar on the Thames in London, from events in synagogues and churches, to munity centres, homes, even tents.Many iftars have been held to memorate the Srebrenica genocide, 20 years after 8,000men and boys were massacred. Britain is home to the largest memorations outside Bosnia.The Srebrenica Memorial Day initiative was launched by this government, and on thisanniversary we've pledged to continue teaching the lessons of that atrocity, far into the future.After some of the longest days of the year, and some of the hottest days we've had for a longtime, Ramadan this year hasn't been easy. But we think about what life is like right now forpeople across the world, for those in Syria and Iraq – families like ours – suffering at the handsof ISIL and Assad. We think of all the victims of terrorism during this time, of the familiesattacked in their homes in Kobane, the worshippers killed as they prayed in Kuwait, and theholidaymakers in Tunisia murdered on the beach, and I know that mosques across Britain havededicated Friday sermons to remembering the victims. This terrorism is not just an assault onthose victims. It's not just an assault on Islam, whose good name it perverts. It's an assaulton us all, on our way of life, and we must defeat it.So as families and friends e together this Eid, to share food and presents, to think of others,to mark the end of Ramadan, let's think about the better Britain and the better world we mustbuild together.Once again, let me wish you a happy and peaceful Eid. Eid Mubarak.篇4：英国首相卡梅伦复活节英语演讲稿英国首相卡梅伦复活节英语演讲稿Easter is a time for Christians to celebrate the ultimate triumph of life over death in the resurrection of Jesus. And for all of us it’s a time to reflect on the part that Christianity plays in our national life – that church is not just a collection of beautiful old buildings, it’s a living active force doing great works right across our country. When people are homeless, the church is there with hot meals and shelter; when people are addicted or in debt, when people are suffering or grieving, the church is there. I know from the most difficult times in my own life that the kindness of the church can be a huge fort.Across Britain, Christians don’t just talk about ‘loving thy neighbour,’ they live it out ... in faithschools, in prisons, in munity groups. And it’s for all these reasons that we should feelproud to say: this is a Christian country. Yes, we are a nation that embraces, weles andaccepts all faiths and none, but we are still a Christian country.That’s why the government I lead has done some important things, from investing tens ofmillions of pounds to repair churches and cathedrals to passing a law that reaffirms the right ofcouncils to say prayers in their townhood.And as a Christian country, our responsibilities don’t end there. We have a duty to speak outabout the persecution of Christians around the world, too.It is truly shocking that in there are still Christians being threatened, tortured even killedbecause of their faith, from Egypt to Nigeria, Libya to North Korea. Across the Middle East,Christians have been hounded out of their homes, forced to flee from village to village, many ofthem forced to renounce their faith or brutally murdered.To all those brave Christians in Iraq and Syria who are practising their faith, orshelteringothers, we must say, ‘We stand with you’.This government has put those words into action – whether getting humanitarian aid to thosestranded on Mount Sinjar or funding grassroot reconciliation in Iraq.In the ing months, we must continue to speak as one voice for freedom of belief. So thisEaster, we should keep in our thoughts all those Christians facing persecution abroad and givethanks for all those Christians who are making a real difference here at home. On which note,I’d like to wish you and your family a very Happy Easter.篇5：英国首相卡梅伦新年英语演讲稿英国首相卡梅伦新年英语演讲稿It's a New Year. And with our economy growing and a strong, majority government in power,Britain begins it with renewed strength.There are no New Year's resolutions for us, just an ongoing resolve to deliver what wepromised.Security – at every stage of your life.Over 31 million people will begin the year in work – more than any in our history.Six million children will start the new term at a good or outstanding school.More than half a million workers will be taken out of ine tax in April, as everyone apart fromthe very best paid gets a tax cut and, for the lowest paid, there will be a new National LivingWage.Meanwhile, millions more will benefit from the free childcare, new academies, rising pensionsand extra apprenticeships that we mitted to in our manifesto, all as a result of our long-term economic plan.We also promised something else in our manifesto: giving you a say on Europe. Now we aredelivering on that promise. There will be an in-out referendum by the end of – it iswritten into the law of the land. I am negotiating hard to fix the things that most annoy Britishpeople about our relationship with the EU.There is just one thing that drives me: what is best for the national interest of our country?But in the end it will be for you to decide: is our economic and national security in a dangerousworld better protected by being in, or out?We also go into the year confronting some deep social problems, ones that have blighted ourcountry for too long.I want to be the time when we really start to conquer them – a crucial year in this greatturnaround decade.Because with economic renewal and social reform, we can make everyone's lives moresecure.So if you're one of the many hard-working young people locked out of the housing market, wewill deliver the homes that will help lead you to your own front door.If you're off school or out of work, trapped in an underworld of addiction, abuse, crime andchaos, we will sweep away state failure and help give you stability.If your dreams have been dashed simply because of who you are, we will fight discriminationand deliver real opportunity, to help lay your path to success.And we will take on another social problem, too.篇6：英国首相卡梅伦新年英语演讲稿英国首相卡梅伦新年英语演讲稿It’s a New Year –and for Britain there can only be one New Year’s resolution—to stick tothelong-term plan that is turning our country around.When we came tooffice, our economy was on its knees.Three and a halfyears later, we are turning a corner.We see it in thebusinesses that are opening up, the people who are getting decent jobs,thefactories that are making British goods and selling them to the world again.The plan isworking.That’s why thisyear, , we are not just going to stick to the plan – we are goingtoredouble our efforts to deliver every part of it, to benefit the whole countryand secure abetter future for everyone.We’ll continuewith the vital work on the deficit.We’ve reduced itby a third already, and this year we will continue that difficult work,tosafeguard our economy for the long-term, to keep mortgage rates low and to helpfamiliesacross Britain.We’re going tokeep on doing everything possible to help hardworking people feelfinanciallysecure, cutting ine taxes and freezing fuel duty.We’ll keep onworking even harder to create more jobs, whether that’s through investmentinour roads and railways, lower jobs taxes, or more help for Britain’s amazingsmall businesses.Those who run oursmall businesses are heroes and heroines, they are the backbone of oureconomyand we are supporting them every step of the way.We are going tokeep on with our vital work on welfare and immigration too.We’ve alreadycapped welfare and cut immigration, and this year, we’ll carry on buildinganeconomy for people who work hard and play by the rules.And last but notleast – we’re going to keep on delivering the best schools and skills forourchildren and young people, so that when they leave education they have a realchance to geton in life.So this is a vitalyear for our economy.And 2014 is alsoan important date in the history of the United Kingdom.The referendumvote will be the biggest decision Scotland has ever been asked to make.The outematters to all of us, wherever we live in the UK.篇7：英国首相卡梅伦锡克教丰收节英语演讲稿英国首相卡梅伦锡克教丰收节英语演讲稿I send my best wishes to everyone in India, Britain and around the world celebrating Vaisakhi.I know this is an incredibly important time for the Sikh munity as families and friendse together to memorate the birth of the Khalsa and give thanks. From Southall toSunderland, from Ottawa to Amritsar, Sikhs around the world will be marking Vaisakhi withvibrant parades and celebrations with homes, Gurdwaras and entire neighbourhoods burstinginto life with decorations and colour.Vaisakhi also gives us a chance to celebrate the immense contribution of British Sikhs,whohave enriched our country for over 160 years. Whether it is in the fields of enterprise orbusiness, education, public service or civil society, Britain’s Sikhs are a success story and modelmunity.And I see this contribution every day, all around. Like at the magnificent Gurdwara SahibLeamington, where I saw for myself the values of Sikhism – of passion, peace and equality– in practice. And across the country I see how Sikh and Asian businessmen and women areboosting the economy by creating jobs and opportunities. But this contribution is not just arecent thing it goes back many, many years and was never more starkly demonstrated than 100years ago during the First World War.Just last month we memorated the Indian soldiers, many of whom were Sikh, who foughtbravely alongside the Allies in the Battle of Neuve Chapelle in Northern France. I pay tribute tothose men who travelled far from home and who fought and died with their rades in thefight for freedom. We will never let their sacrifice be forgotten.So at this important time, let us memorate the birth of a great religion, let us give thanksfor everything the Sikh munity does for Britain and let us celebrate the successful multi-ethnic, multi-faith democracy country that we are.So wherever you are, I wish you all a very happy and peaceful Vaisakhi.篇8：英国首相卡梅伦对英国小型企业英语演讲稿英国首相卡梅伦对英国小型企业英语演讲稿My message to Britain’s small businesses is you are the lifeblood of our economy. Over 90% offirms in this country are small firms, over 60% people working in the private sector work forbusinesses like yours. So please keep doing what you are doing, creating the jobs, the wealthand the success our country needs. The government is on your side. We want to get out of yourway by deregulating, by cutting your taxes, by making it easier for you to take people on, butwe also want to stand up for small businesses, we want to help you with rates, we want to helpyou with procurement, we want to help make sure that you can export and succeed. Andabove all, what we’ve got to do together is stand up for enterprise, entrepreneurship and forthe dynamism that you represent and that’s the future of our country. But above all, keepdoing the great work. Thank you.篇9：英国首相卡梅伦在北约峰会上英语演讲稿英国首相卡梅伦在北约峰会上英语演讲稿When NATO last met here in the UK in 1990, many would have hoped that its core aim would soon have been fulfilled. After the long years of the Cold War, the vision of a Europe whole, free and at peace seemed within our grasp. Yet today the protection and security that NATO provides is as vital to our future as it has ever been in our past.We face new and evolving dangers. To the East, Russia is ripping up the rulebook with itsannexation of Crimea and its troops on sovereign soil in Ukraine. To the South, an arc ofinstability bends from North Africa to the Middle East.Last night we discussed the threat posed by ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) in Iraqand Syria.So our message is clear. We are united in our condemnation of these barbaric and despicableacts. They should be very clear, these terrorists: their threats will only harden ourresolve tostand up for our values and to defeat them.To do so -and to deal with all the threats we face -our great alliance must now evolve andrefocus on the new capabilities that we need to keep our people safe. And I hope that in thesesessions today we can agree the changes that are needed. For me there are 3.First, as Russia tramples illegally over Ukraine we must reassure our Eastern Europeanmembers that we will always uphold our Article 5 mitments to collective self-defence. Sowe must be able to act more swiftly.In , NATO stood down its high readiness force. So I hope we can agree a multi-nationalspearhead force deployable anywhere in the world in just 2 to 5 days.This would be part of a reformed NATO Response Force with Headquarters in Poland, forwardunits in the Eastern Allies, and pre-positioned equipment and infrastructure to allow moreexercises and if necessary rapid reinforcement. If we can agree this, the UK will contribute3,500 personnel to this multi-national force. And we must scale up our readiness to respondto any threat they face.Second, as the Secretary General has said, we must increase our capacity. I hope today we canreaffirm our public mitment to spend 2% of our GDP on defence and 20% of that moneyon equipment. This would send a strong message to those who threaten us, that ourcollective resolve is as strong as ever.This issue of equipment is as important as the overall amount of money. What matters mostof all is what are we able to do, what are we able to deploy, what enables us to respondrapidly and together collectively to the threats we face? Those are the questions we mustanswer with our increases in capability.Third, we must extend our partnerships and build a more effective security network thatfosters stability around the world.To do this NATO must bee not just an organisation that has capability but an exporter ofcapability. I hope we can agree to use our expertise to provide training and mentoring offorces in Jordan and Georgia. And also in Iraq when the new Government has beenestablished.These can be the first steps in a long-term mitment to help our friends and allies aroundthe world. This mitment is vital for our own security. By standing up for our valuesaround the world we keep our own people safe.篇10：英国首相卡梅伦犹太新年和赎罪日英语演讲稿英国首相卡梅伦犹太新年和赎罪日英语演讲稿I want to send my best wishes to everyone in Britain and around the world marking Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.These High Holy Days give us a chance to look back – and to look forward. To look back at theimmense contribution Jews make in Britain: excelling in every field, contributing in everymunity, and living by those values – of decency, tolerance, hard work and responsibility– that are so central to the Jewish faith and to British life.And they give us a chance to look forward to a future free from conflict and prejudice. Thatmeans lasting peace in the Middle East – a future where families don’t live in fear of rocketattacks. And it means wiping out prejudice in this country, because we will not tolerate anti-Semitism in Britain. No disagreements on politics or policy can ever justify racism orextremism in any form. As long as I’m Prime Minister, we will do everything we can totacklethis, and to ensure we learn the lessons of the past, as the Holocaust Commission, led by MickDavies, is doing so effectively.Around the world, Britain stands for diversity and cohesiveness. When mosques came underattack who helped defend them? British Jews. When a synagogue was under threat fromclosure, who helped save it? British Muslims. This says a lot about who we are in this country –and it’s something we can celebrate and build upon.So as we look back and look ahead, let me wish everyone a happy New Year. G’mar Tov andShanah Tovah.篇11：英国首相卡梅伦在联合国气候峰会英语演讲稿英国首相卡梅伦在联合国气候峰会英语演讲稿Climate change is one of the most serious threats facing our world. And it is not just a threat to the environment. It is also a threat to our national security, to global security, to poverty eradication and to economic prosperity.And we must agree a global deal in Paris next year. We simply cannot put this off any longer.And I pay tribute to Secretary General Ban for bringing everyone together here today and forputting real focus on this issue.Now my country, the United Kingdom, is playing its part.In fact, it was Margaret Thatcher who was one of the first world leaders to demand action onclimate change, right here at the United Nations 25 years ago.Now since then, the UK has cut greenhouse gas emissions by one quarter. We have createdthe world’s first Climate Change Act. And as Prime Minister, I pledged that the government Ilead would be the greenest government ever. And I believe we’ve kept that promise.We’ve more than doubled our capacity in renewable electricity in the last 4 years alone. Wenow have enough solar to power almost a million UK homes. We have the world’s leadingfinancial centre in carbon trading. And we have established the world’s first green investmentbank. We’ve invested ￡1 billion in Carbon Capture and Storage. And we’ve said no to any newcoal without Carbon Capture and Storage. We are investing in all forms of lower carbon energyincluding shale gas and nuclear, with the first new nuclear plant ing on stream for ageneration.Now, as a result of all that we are doing, we are on track to cut emissions by 80 per cent by2050. And we are playing our role internationally as well, providing nearly ￡4 billion of climatefinance over 5 years as part of our mitment to spend 0.7 per cent of our Gross NationalIne on aid. And we are one of the only countries in the advanced world to do that and tomeet our promises.We now need the whole world though to step up to deliver a new, ambitious, global dealwhich keeps the 2 degree goal within reach. I’ll be pushing European Union leaders to e toParis with an offer to cut emissions by at least 40 per cent by 2030.We know from Copenhagen that we are not just going to turn up in Paris and reach a deal. Weneed to work hard now to raise the level of ambition and to work through the difficult issues.To achieve a deal we need all countries, all countries to make mitments to reduceemissions. Our agreement has to be legally binding, with proper rules and targets to hold eachother to account.We must provide support to those who need it, particularly the poorest and mostvulnerable.It is pletely unrealistic to expect developing countries to forgo the high carbon route togrowth that so many Western countries enjoyed, unless we support them to achieve greengrowth. Now, if we get this right there need not be a trade-off between economic growth andreducing carbon emissions.We need to give business the certainty it needs to invest in low carbon. That means fightingagainst the economically and environmentally perverse fossil fuel subsidies which distort freemarkets and rip off taxpayers. It means championing green free trade, slashing tariffs on thingslike solar panels. And it means giving business the flexibility to pick the right technologies fortheir needs.In short we need a framework built on green growth not green tape.As political leaders we have a duty to think long-term. When offered clear scientific advice, weshould listen to it. When faced with risks, we should insure against them. And when presentedwith an opportunity to safeguard the long-term future of our planet and our people, weshould seize it.So I would implore everyone to seize this opportunity over the ing year. Countries likethe United Kingdom have taken the steps necessary. We’ve legislated. We’ve acted. We’veinvested. And I urge other countries to take the steps that they need to as well so we can reachthis historic deal.Thank you.篇12：英国首相卡梅伦连任演讲I've just been to see Her Majesty the Queen, and I will now form a majority Conservative government.I've been proud to lead the first coalition government in 70 years, and I want to thank all those who worked so hard to make it a success; and in particular, on this day, Nick Clegg. Elections can be bruising clashes of ideas and arguments, and a lot of people who believe profoundly in public service have seen that service cut short. Ed Miliband rang me this morning to wish me luck with the new government; it was a typically generous gesture from someone who is clearly in public service for all the right reasons.The government I led did important work: it laid the foundations for a better future, and now we must build on them. I truly believe we're on the brink of something special in our country; we can make Britain a place where a good life is in reach for everyone who is willing to work and do the right thing. Our manifesto is a manifesto for working people, and as a majority government we will be able to deliver all of it; indeed, it is the reason why I think majority government is more accountable.Three million apprenticeships; more help with childcare; helping 30 million people cope with the cost of living by cutting their taxes; building homes that people are able to buy and own; creating millions more jobs that give people the chance of a better future. And yes, we will deliver that in/out referendum on our future in Europe.As we conduct this vital work, we must ensure that we bring our country together. As I said in the small hours of this morning, we will govern as a party of one nation, one United Kingdom. That means ensuring this recovery reaches all parts of our country: from north to south, from east to west. And indeed, it means rebalancing our economy, building that “Northern Powerhouse”. It means giving everyone in our country a chance, so no matter where you're fromyou have the opportunity to make the most of your life. It means giving the poorest people the chance of training, a job, and hope for the future. It means that for children who don't get the best start in life, there must be the nursery education and good schooling that can transform their life chances. And of course, it means bringing together the different nations of our United Kingdom.I have always believed in governing with respect. That's why in the last Parliament, we devolved power to Scotland and Wales, and gave the people of Scotland a referendum on whether to stay inside the United Kingdom. In this Parliament I will stay true to my word and implement as fast as I can the devolution that all parties agreed for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.Governing with respect means recognising that the different nations of our United Kingdom have their own governments, as well as the United Kingdom government. Both are important, and indeed with our plans, the governments of these nations will bee more powerful, with wider responsibilities. In Scotland, our plans are to create the strongest devolved government anywhere in the world with important powers over taxation. And no constitutional settlement will be plete, if it did not offer, also, fairness to England.When I stood here 5 years ago, our country was in the grip of an economic crisis. Five years on, Britain is so much stronger, but the real opportunities lie ahead. Everything I've seen over the last 5 years, and indeed, during this election campaign, has proved once again that this is a country with unrivalled skills and creativeness; a country with such good humour, and such great passion, and I'm convinced that if we draw on all of this, then we can take these islands, with our proud history, and build an even prouder future.Together we can make Great Britain greater still. Thank you.篇一三：卡梅伦首相府发表的胜选英语演讲稿卡梅伦首相府发表的胜选英语演讲稿I’ve just been to see Her Majesty the Queen, and I will now form a majority Conservative government.I’ve been proud to lead the first coalition government in 70 years, and I want to thank all thosewho worked so hard to make it a success; and in particular, on this day, Nick Clegg.

卡梅伦就职演讲
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, and that is something 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 pay tribute 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。
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。
就未来而言，我们的议会无任何党派占明显多数，我们面临着一些深刻而紧迫的问题庞大的赤字、深刻的社会问题以及需要改革政治制度。

2022年英国首相卡梅伦辞职演讲英文
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’s helped to make that happen.
I have also always believed that we have to confront big decisions, not doubt them. That is why we deliveredthe firstcoalition government in seventy years to bring our economy back from the brink. It is why we delivered a fair, legal and decisive referendum in Scotland. And it’s why I made the pledge to renegotiate Britain’s position in the European Union and to hold the 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 the British is stronger safer and better off inside the European Union. And I made clear the referendum was about
英国首相卡梅伦承诺修补破碎社会演讲稿英文全文
英国首相卡梅伦修补破碎社会演讲稿英文全文PM's speech on the fightback after the riots Monday 15 August 2011Prime Minister David Cameron has delivered a speech in Oxfordshire on the fightback following the riots and looting last week.英国首相卡梅伦１５日表示，骚乱事件凸显出英国社会已经“破碎”的现状，而自己政治日程的首要任务就是修补这个“破碎的社会”。
卡梅伦是在牛津郡发表演讲时做出上述表态的。
他否认此次持续数天的骚乱因种族冲突及政府财政削减措施所致，而将骚乱原因归结于骚乱制造者自身性格及他们成长的环境等。
卡梅伦在演讲中谴责“不负责任、自私、孩子失去父亲、学校纪律缺失、不劳而获、享有权利却不履行职责”等社会现象，认为“溃烂几十年的社会问题已经在我们面前炸开”。
卡梅伦承诺，政府将重新评估教育、福利、文化、社会公平等政府职能，以修复已经“破碎”社会。
此外，警方已经彻底改革工作方式，安排更多警察离开办公室到街道巡逻。
截至目前，于本月６日始于伦敦、蔓延至英国多个城市并持续数天的骚乱已经导致近３０００人被捕，数百人面临指控。
以下是英国首相卡梅伦演讲英文全文：It is time for our country to take stock.Last week we saw some of the most sickening acts on our streets.I‟ll never forget talking to Maurice Reeves, whose family had run the Reeves furniture store in Croydon for generations.This was an 80 year old man who had seen the business he had loved, that his family had built up for generations, simply destroyed.A hundred years of hard work, burned to the ground in a few hours.But last week we didn‟t just see the worst of the British people; we saw the best of them too.The ones who called themselves riotwombles and headed down to the hardware stores to pick up brooms and start the clean-up.The people who linked arms together to stand and defend their homes, their businesses.The policemen and women and fire officers who worked long, hard shifts, sleeping in corridors then going out again to put their life on the line.Everywhere I‟ve been this past w eek, in Salford, Manchester, Birmingham, Croydon, people of every background, colour and religion have shared the same moral outrage and hurt for our country.Because this is Britain.This is a great country of good people.Those thugs we saw last week do not represent us, nor do they represent our young people – and they will not drag us down.Why this happenedBut now that the fires have been put out and the smoke has cleared, the question hangs in the air: …Why? How could this happen on our streets and in our country?‟Of course, we mustn‟t oversimplify.There were different things going on in different parts of the country.In Tottenham some of the anger was directed at the police.In Salford there was some organised crime, a calculated attack on the forces of order.But what we know for sure is that in large parts of the country this was just pure criminality.So as we begin the necessary processes of inquiry, investigation, listening and learning: let‟s be clear.These riots were not about race: the perpetrators and the victims were white, black and Asian.These riots were not about government cuts: they were directed at high street stores, not Parliament.And these riots were not about poverty: that insults the millions of people who, whatever the hardship, would never dream of making others suffer like this.No, this was about behaviour……people showing indifference to right and wrong……people with a twisted moral code……people with a complete absence of self-restraint.Politicians and behaviourNo w I know as soon as I use words like …behaviour‟ and …moral‟ people will say – what gives politicians the right to lecture us?Of course we‟re not perfect.But politicians shying away from speaking the truth about behaviour, about morality……this has actually helped to cause the social problems we see around us.We have been too unwilling for too long to talk about what is right and what is wrong.We have too often avoided saying what needs to be said – about everything from marriage to welfare to common courtesy.Sometimes the reasons for that are noble –we don‟t want to insult or hurt people.Sometimes they‟re ideological –we don‟t feel it‟s the job of the state to try and pass judgement on people‟s behaviour or engineer personal morality.And some times they‟re just human –we‟re not perfect beings ourselves and we don‟t want to look like hypocrites.So you can‟t say that marriage and commitment are good things – for fear of alienating single mothers.You don‟t deal properly with children who repeat edly fail in school –because you‟re worried about being accused of stigmatising them.You‟re wary of talking about those who have never worked and never want to work – in case you‟re charged with not getting it, being middle class and out of touch.In this risk-free ground of moral neutrality there are no bad choices, just different lifestyles.People aren‟t the architects of their own problems, they are victims of circumstance.…Live and let live‟ becomes …do what you please.‟Well actually, what last week has shown is that this moral neutrality, this relativism –it‟s not going to cut it any more.One of the biggest lessons of these riots is that we‟ve got to talk honestly about behaviour and then act – because bad behaviour has literally arrived on peopl e‟s doorsteps.And we can‟t shy away from the truth anymore.Broken society agendaSo this must be a wake-up call for our country.Social problems that have been festering for decades have exploded in our face.Now, just as people last week wanted criminals robustly confronted on our street, so they want to see these social problems taken on and defeated.Our security fightback must be matched by a social fightback.We must fight back against the attitudes and assumptions that have brought parts of our society to this shocking state.We know what‟s gone wrong: the question is, do we have the determination to put it right?Do we have the determination to confront the slow-motion moral collapse that has taken place in parts of our country these past few generations?Irresponsibility. Selfishness. Behaving as if your choices have no consequences.Children without fathers. Schools without discipline. Reward without effort.Crime without punishment. Rights without responsibilities. Communities without control.Some of the worst aspects of human nature tolerated, indulged – sometimes even incentivised – by a state and its agencies that in parts have become literally de-moralised.So do we have the determination to confront all this and turn it around?I have the very strong sense that the responsible majority of people in this country not only have that determination; they are crying out for their government to act upon it.And I can assure you, I will not be found wanting.In my very first act as leader of this party I signalled my personal priority: to mend our broken society.That passion is stronger today than ever.Yes, we have had an economic crisis to deal with, clearing up the terrible mess we inherited, and we are not out of those woods yet – not by a long way.But I repeat today, as I have on many occasions these last few years, that the reason I am in politics is to build a bigger, stronger society.Stronger families. Stronger communities. A stronger society.This is what I came into politics to do – and the shocking events of last week have renewed in me that drive.So I can announce today that over the next few weeks, I and ministers from across the coaliti on government will review every aspect of our work to mend our broken society……on schools, welfare, families, parenting, addiction, communities……on the cultural, legal, bureaucratic problems in our society too:…from the twisting and misrepresenting of human rights that has undermined personal responsibility……to the obsession with health and safety that has erode d people‟s willingness to act according to common sense.We will review our work and consider whether our plans and programmes are big enough and bold enough to deliver the change that I feel this country now wants to see.Government cannot legislate to change behaviour, but it is wrong to think the State is a bystander.Because people‟s behaviour does not happen in a vacuum: it is affected by the rules government sets and how they are enforced……by the services government provides and how they are delivered……and perhaps above all by the signals government sends about the kinds of behaviour that are encouraged and rewarded.So yes, the broken society is back at the top of my agenda.And as we review our policies in the weeks ahead, today I want to set out the priority areas I will be looking at, and give you a sense of where I think we need to raise our ambitions.Security fightbackFirst and foremost, we need a security fight-back.We need to reclaim our streets from the thug s who didn‟t just spring out of nowherelast week, but who‟ve been making lives a misery for years.Now I know there have been questions in people‟s minds about my approach to law and order.Well, I don‟t want there to be any doubt.Nothing in this job is more important to me than keeping people safe.And it is obvious to me that to do that we‟ve got to be tough, we‟ve got to be robust, we‟ve got to score a clear line between right and wrong right through the heart of this country –in every street and in every community.That starts with a stronger police presence – pounding the beat, deterring crime, ready to re-group and crack down at the first sign of trouble.Let me be clear: under this government we will always have enough police officers to be able to scale up our deployments in the way we saw last week.To those who say this means we need to abandon our plans to make savings in police budgets, I say you are missing the point.The point is that what really matters in this fight-back is the amount of time the police actually spend on the streets.For years we‟ve had a police force suffocated by bureaucracy, officers spending the majority of their time filling in forms and stuck behind desks.This won‟t be fixed by pumping money in and keeping things basically as they‟ve been.As the Home Secretary will explain tomorrow, it will be fixed by completely changing the way the police work.Scrapping the paperwork that holds them back, getting them out on the streets where people can see them and criminals can fear them.Our reforms mean that the police are going to answer directly to the people.You want more tough, no-nonsense policing?You want to make sure the police spend more time confronting the thugs in your neighbourhood and less time meeting targets by stopping motorists?You want the police out patrolling your streets instead of sitting behind their desks?Elected police and crime commissioners are part of the answer: they will provide that direct accountability so you can finally get what you want when it comes to policing.The point of our police reforms is not to save money, not to change things for the sake of it – but to fight crime.And in the light of last week it‟s clear that we now have to go even further, even faster in beefing up the powers and presence of the police.Already we‟ve given backing to measures like dispersal orders, we‟re toughening curfew powers, we‟re giving police officers the power to remove face coverings from rioters, we‟re looking at giving them more powers to confiscate offenders‟ property – and over the coming months you‟re going to see even more.It‟s time for something else too.A concerted, all-out war on gangs and gang culture.This isn‟t some side issue.It is a major criminal disease that has infected streets and estates across our country.Stamping out these gangs is a new national priority.Last week I set up a cross-government programme to look at every aspect of this problem.We will fight back against gangs, crime and the thugs who make people‟s lives hell and we will fight back hard.The last front in that fight is proper punishment.On the radio last week they interviewed one of the young men who‟d been looting in Manchester.He said he was going to carry on until he got caught.This will be my first arrest, he said.The prisons were already overflowing so he‟d just get an ASBO, and he could live with that.Well, we‟ve got to show him and everyone like him that the party‟s over.I know that when politicians talk about punishment and tough sentencing people roll their eyes.Yes, last week we saw the criminal justice system deal with an unprecedented challenge: the courts sat through the night and dispensed swift, firm justice.We saw that the system was on the side of the law-abiding majority.But confidence in the system is still too low.And believe me – I understand the anger with the level of crime in our country today and I am determined we sort it out and restore people‟s fa ith that if someone hurts our society, if they break the rules in our society, then society will punish them for it.And we will tackle the hard core of people who persistently reoffend and blight the lives of their communities.So no-one should doubt this government‟s determination to be tough on crime and to mount an effective security fight-back.But we need much more than that.We need a social fight-back too, with big changes right through our society.Families and parentingLet me start with families.The question people asked over and over again last week was …where are the parents?Why aren‟t they keeping the rioting kids indoors?‟Tragically that‟s been followed in some cases by judges rightly lamenting: “why don‟t the parents even turn up when their children are in court?”Well, join the dots and you have a clear idea about why some of these young people were behaving so terribly.Either there was no one at home, they didn‟t much care or they‟d lost control.Families matter.I don‟t doubt that many of the rioters out last week have no father at home.Perhaps they come from one of the neighbourhoods where it‟s standard for children to have a mum and not a dad……where it‟s normal for young men to grow up without a male role model, looking to the streets for their father figures, filled up with rage and anger.So if we want to have any hope of mending our broken society, family and parenting is where we‟ve got to start.I‟ve been saying this for years, since before I was Prime Minister, since before I was leader of the Conservative Party.So: from here on I want a family test applied to all domestic policy.If it hurts families, if it undermines commitment, if it tramples over the values that keeps people together, or stops families from being together, then we shouldn‟t do it.More than that, we‟ve got to get out there and make a positive difference to the way families work, the way people bring up their children……and we‟ve got to be less sensitive to the charge that this is about interfering or nannying.We are working on ways to help improve parenting – well now I want that work accelerated, expanded and implemented as quickly as possible.This has got to be right at the top of our priority list.And we need more urgent action, too, on the fa milies that some people call …problem‟, others call …troubled‟.The ones that everyone in their neighbourhood knows and often avoids.Last December I asked Emma Harrison to develop a plan to help get these families on track.It became clear to me earlier this year that – as can so often happen – those plans were being held back by bureaucracy.So even before the riots happened, I asked for an explanation.Now that the riots have happened I will make sure that we clear away the red tape and the bureaucratic wrangling, and put rocket boosters under this programme……with a clear ambition that within the lifetime of this Parliament we will turn around the lives of the 120,000 most troubled families in the country.SchoolsThe next part of the social fight-back is what happens in schools.We need an education system which reinforces the message that if you do the wrong thing you‟ll be disciplined……but if you work hard and play by the rules you will succeed.This isn‟t a distant dream.It‟s already happening in s chools like Woodside High in Tottenham and Mossbourne in Hackney.They expect high standards from every child and make no excuses for failure to work hard.They foster pride through strict uniform and behaviour policies.And they provide an alternative to street culture by showing how anyone can get up and get on if they apply themselves.Kids from Hammersmith and Hackney are now going to top universities thanks to these schools.We need many more like them which is why we are creating more academies……why the people behind these success stories are now opening free schools……and why we have pledged to turn round the 200 weakest secondaries and the 200 weakest primaries in the next year.But with the failures in our education system so deep, we can‟t just say …these are our plans and we believe in them, let‟s sit back while they take effect‟.I now want us to push further, faster.Are we really doing enough to ensure that great new schools are set up in the poorest areas, to help the children who need them most?And why are we putting up with the complete scandal of schools being allowed to fail, year after year?If young people have left school without being able to read or write, why shouldn‟t that school be held more directly accountable?Yes, these questions are already being asked across government but what happened last week gives them a new urgency – and we need to act on it.Respect for communityJust as we want schools to be proud of we want everyone to feel proud of their communities.We need a sense of social responsibility at the heart of every community.Yet the truth is that for too long the big bossy bureaucratic state has drained it away.It‟s usurped local leadership with its endless Whitehall diktats.It‟s frustrated local organisers wit h its rules and regulationsAnd it‟s denied local people any real kind of say over what goes on where they live.Is it any wonder that many people don‟t feel they have a stake in their community?This has got to change. And we‟re already taking steps to ch ange it.That‟s why we want executive Mayors in our twelve biggest cities……because strong civic leadership can make a real difference in creating that sense of belonging.We‟re training an army of community organisers to work in our most deprived neighbourhoods……because we‟re serious about encouraging social action and giving people a real chance to improve the community in which they live.We‟re changing the planning rules and giving people the right to take over local assets.But the question I want to ask now is this.Are these changes big enough to foster the sense of belonging we want to see?Are these changes bold enough to spread the social responsibility we need right across our communities, especially in our cities?That‟s what we‟re go ing to be looking at urgently over the coming weeks.Because we won‟t get things right in our country if we don‟t get them right in our communities.Responsibility and welfareBut one of the biggest parts of this social fight-back is fixing the welfare system.For years we‟ve had a system that encourages the worst in people – that incites laziness, that excuses bad behaviour, that erodes self-discipline, that discourages hard work……above all that drains responsibility away from people.We talk about moral hazard in our financial system – where banks think they can act recklessly because the state will always bail them out……well this is moral hazard in our welfare system – people thinking they can be as irresponsible as they like because the state will always bail them out.We‟re already addressing this through the Welfare Reform Bill going through parliament.But I‟m not satisfied that we‟re doing all we can.I want us to look at toughening up the conditions for those who are out of work and receiving benef its……and speeding up our efforts to get all those who can work back to workWork is at the heart of a responsible society.So getting more of our young people into jobs, or up and running in their own businesses is a critical part of how we strengthen responsibility in our society.Our Work Programme is the first step, with local authorities, charities, social enterprises and businesses all working together to provide the best possible help to get a job.It leaves no one behind – including those who have been on welfare for years.But there is more we need to do, to boost self-employment and enterprise…because it‟s only by getting our young people into work that we can build an ownership society in which everyone feels they have a stake.Human rights and health and safetyAs we consider these questions of attitude and behaviour, the signals that government sends, and the incentives it creates……we inevitably come to the question of the Human Rights Act and the culture associated with it.Let me be clear: in this country we are proud to stand up for human rights, at home and abroad. It is part of the British tradition.But what is alien to our tradition – and now exerting such a corrosive influence on behaviour and morality……is the twisting and misrepresen ting of human rights in a way that has undermined personal responsibility.We are attacking this problem from both sides.We‟re working to develop a way through the morass by looking at creating our own British Bill of Rights.And we will be using our current chairmanship of the Council of Europe to seek agreement to important operational changes to the European Convention on Human Rights.But this is all frustratingly slow.The truth is, the interpretation of human rights legislation has exerted a chilling effect on public sector organisations, leading them to act in ways that fly in the face of common sense, offend our sense of right and wrong, and undermine responsibility.It is exactly the same with health and safety – where regulations have often been twisted out of all recognition into a culture where the words …health and safety‟ are lazily trotted out to justify all sorts of actions and regulations that damage our social fabric.So I want to make something very clear: I get it. This stuff matters.An d as we urgently review the work we‟re doing on the broken society, judging whether it‟s ambitious enough –I want to make it clear that there will be no holds barred……and that most definitely includes the human rights and health and safety culture.National Citizen ServiceMany people have long thought that the answer to these questions of social behaviour is to bring back national service.In many ways I agree……and that‟s why we are actually introducing something similar – National Citizen Service.It‟s a non-military programme that captures the spirit of national service.It takes sixteen year-olds from different backgrounds and gets them to work together.They work in their communities, whether that‟s coaching children to play football, visiting old people at the hospital or offering a bike repair service to the community.It shows young people that doing good can feel good.The real thrill is from building things up, not tearing them down.Team-work, discipline, duty, decency: these might sound old-fashioned words but they are part of the solution to this very modern problem of alienated, angry young people.Restoring those values is what National Citizen Service is all about.I passionately believe in this idea.It‟s something we‟ve been developing for years.Thousands of teenagers are taking part this summer.The plan is for thirty thousand to take part next year.But in response to the riots I will say this.This should become a great national effort.Let‟s make National Citizen Service available t o all sixteen year olds as a rite of passage.We can do that if we work together: businesses, charities, schools and social enterprises……and in the months ahead I will put renewed effort into making it happen.ConclusionToday I‟ve talked a lot about what the government is going to do.But let me be clear:This social fight-back is not a job for government on its own.Government doesn‟t run the businesses that create jobs and turn lives around.Government doesn‟t make the video games or print the magazines or produce the music that tells young people what‟s important in life.Government can‟t be on every street and in every estate, instilling the values that matter.This is a problem that has deep roots in our society, and it‟s a job for all of our society to help fix it.In the highest offices, the plushest boardrooms, the most influential jobs, we need to think about the example we are setting.Moral decline and bad behaviour is not limited to a few of the poorest parts of our society.In the banking cris is, with MPs‟ expenses, in the phone hacking scandal, we have seen some of the worst cases of greed, irresponsibility and entitlement.The restoration of responsibility has to cut right across our society.Because whatever the arguments, we all belong to the same society, and we all have a stake in making it better.There is no …them‟ and …us‟ – there is us.We are all in this together, and we will mend our broken society – together.。

以下是英国首相卡梅伦演讲英文全文： It is time for our country to take st week we saw some of the most sickening acts on our streets.I‟ll never forget talking to Maurice Reeves, whose family had run the Reeves furniture store in Croydon for generations.This was an 80 year old man who had seen the business he had loved, that his family had built up for generations, simply destroyed.A hundred years of hard work, burned to the ground in a few hours.But last week we didn‟t just see the worst of the British people;we saw the best of them too.The ones who called themselves riotwombles and headed down to the hardware stores to pick up brooms and start the clean-up.The people who linked armstogether to stand and defend their homes, their businesses.The policemen and women and fire officers who worked long, hard shifts, sleeping in corridors then going out again to put their life on the line.Everywhere I‟ve been this past week, in Salford, Manchester, Birmingham, Croydon, people of every background, colour and religion have shared the same moral outrage and hurt for our country.Because this is Britain.This is a great country of good people.Those thugs we saw last week do not represent us, nor do they represent our young people – and they will not drag us down.Why this happened But now that the fires have been put out and the smoke has cleared, the question hangs in the air: …Why? How could this happen on our streets and in our country?‟ Of course, we mustn‟t oversimplify.There were different things going on in different parts of the country.In Tottenham some of the anger was directed at the police.In Salford there was some organised crime, a calculated attack on the forces of order.But what we know for sure is that in large parts of the country this was just pure criminality.So as we begin the necessary processes of inquiry, investigation, listening and learning: let‟s be clear.These riots were not about race: the perpetrators and the victims were white, black and Asian.These riots were not about government cuts: they were directed at high street stores, not Parliament.And these riots were not about poverty: that insults the millions of people who, whatever the hardship, would never dream of making others suffer like this.No, this was about behaviour……people showing indifference to right and wrong… …people with a twisted moral code……people with a complete absenc e of self-restraint.Politicians and behaviour Now I know as soon as I use words like …behaviour‟ and …moral‟ people will say – what gives politicians the right to lecture us? Of course we‟re not perfect.But politicians shying away from speaking the truth about behaviour, about morality… …this has actually helped to cause the social problems we see around us.We have been too unwilling for too long to talk about what is right and what is wrong.We have too often avoided saying what needs to be said – about everything from marriage to welfare to common courtesy.Sometimes the reasons for that are noble – we don‟t want to insult or hurt people.Sometimes they‟re ideological – we don‟t feel it‟s the job of the state to try and pass judgement on people‟s behaviour or engineer personal morality.And sometimes they‟re just human – we‟re not perfect beings ourselves and we don‟t want to look like hypocrites.So you can‟t say that marriage and commitment are good things –for fear of alienating single mothers.You don‟t deal properly with children who repeatedly fail in school – because you‟re worried about being accused of stigmatising them.You‟re wary of talking about those who have never worked and never want to work – in case you‟re charged with not getting it, being middle class and out of touch.In this risk-free ground of moral neutrality there are no bad choices, just different lifestyles.People aren‟t the architects of their own problems, they are victims of circumstance.…Live and let live‟ becomes …do what you please.‟Well actually, what last week has shown is that this moral neutrality, this relativism – it‟s not going to cut it any more.One of the biggest lessons of these riots is that we‟ve got to talk honestly about behaviour and then act – because bad behaviour has literally arrived on people‟s doorsteps.And we can‟t shy away from the truth anymore.Broken society agenda So this must be a wake-up call for our country.Social problems that have beenfestering for decades have exploded in our face.Now, just as people last week wanted criminals robustly confronted on our street, so they want to see these social problems taken on and defeated.Our security fightback must be matched by a social fightback.We must fight back against the attitudes and assumptions that have brought parts of our society to this shocking state.We know what‟s gone wrong: the question is, do we have the determination to put it right? Do we have the determination to confront the slow-motion moral collapse that has taken place in parts of our country these past few generations? Irresponsibility.Selfishness.Behaving as if your choices have no consequences.Children without fathers.Schools without discipline.Reward without effort.Crime without punishment.Rights without munities without control.Some of the worst aspects of human nature tolerated, indulged –sometimes even incentivised –by a state and its agencies that in parts have become literally de-moralised.So do we have the determination to confront all this and turn it around?I have the very strong sense that the responsible majority of people in this country not only have that determination;they are crying out for their government to act upon it.And I can assure you, I will not be found wanting.In my very first act as leader of this party I signalled my personal priority: to mend our broken society.That passion is stronger today than ever.Yes, we have had an economic crisis to deal with, clearing up the terrible mess we inherited, and we are not out of those woods yet – not by a long way.But I repeat today, as I have on many occasions these last few years, that the reason I am in politics is to build a bigger, stronger society.Stronger families.Stronger communities.A stronger society.This is what I came into politics to do – and theshocking events of last week have renewed in me that drive.So I can announce today that over the next few weeks, I and ministers from across the coalition government will review every aspect of our work to mend our broken society… …on schools, welfare, families, parenting, addiction, communities… …on the cultural, legal, bureaucratic problems in our society too: …from the twisting and misrepresenting of human rights that has undermined personal responsibility……to the obsession with health and safety th at has eroded people‟s willingness to act according to common sense.We will review our work and consider whether our plans and programmes are big enough and bold enough to deliver the change that I feel this country now wants to ernment cannot legislate to change behaviour, but it is wrong to think the State is a bystander.Because people‟s behaviour does not happen in a vacuum: it is affected by the rules government sets and how they are enforced……by the services government provides and how they are delivered……and perhaps above all by the signals government sends about the kinds of behaviour that are encouraged and rewarded.So yes, the broken society is back at the top of my agenda.And as we review our policies in the weeks ahead, today I want to set out the priority areas I will be looking at, and give you a sense of where I think we need to raise our ambitions.Security fightback First and foremost, we need a security fight-back.We need to reclaim our streets from the thugs who didn‟t just spring out of nowhere last week, but who‟ve been making lives a misery for years.Now I know there have been questions in people‟s minds about my approach to law andorder.Well, I don‟t want there to be any doubt.Nothing in this job is more important to me than keeping people safe.And it is obvious to me that to do that we‟ve got to be tough, we‟ve got to be robust, we‟ve got to score a clear line between right and wrong right through the heart of this country – in every street and in every community.That starts with a stronger police presence – pounding the beat, deterring crime, ready to re-group and crack down at the first sign of trouble.Let me be clear: under this government we will always have enough police officers to be able to scale up our deployments in the way we saw last week.T o those who say this means we need to abandon our plans to make savings in police budgets, I say you are missing the point.The point is that what really matters in this fight-back is the amount of time the police actually spend on the streets.For years we‟ve had a police force suffocated by bureaucracy, officers spending the majority of their time filling in forms and stuck behind desks.This won‟t be fixed by pumping money in and keeping things basically as they‟ve been.As the Home Secretary will explain tomorrow, it will be fixed by completely changing the way the police work.Scrapping the paperwork that holds them back, getting them out on the streets where people can see them and criminals can fear them.Our reforms mean that the police are going to answer directly to the people.You want more tough, no-nonsense policing? You want to make sure the police spend more time confronting the thugs in your neighbourhood and less time meeting targets by stopping motorists? You want the police out patrolling your streets instead of sitting behind their desks? Elected police and crime commissioners are part of the answer: they will provide that direct accountability so you can finally get what you want when it comes to policing.The point of our policereforms is not to save money, not to change things for the sake of it – but to fight crime.And in the light of last week it‟s clear that we now have to go even further, even faster in beefing up the powers and presence of the police.Already we‟ve given backing to measures like dispersal orders, we‟re toughening curfew powers, we‟re giving police officers the power to remove face coverings from rioters, we‟re looking at giving them more powers to confiscate offenders‟ property – and over the coming months you‟re going to see even more.It‟s time for something else too.A concerted, all-out war on gangs and gang culture.This isn‟t some side issue.It is a major criminal disease that has infected streets and estates across our country.Stamping out these gangs is a new national st week I set up a cross-government programme to look at every aspect of this problem.We will fight back against gangs, crime and the thugs who make people‟s lives hell and we will fight back hard.The last front in that fight is proper punishment.On the radio last week they interviewed one of the young men who‟d been looting in Manchester.He said he was going to carry on until he got caught.This will be my first arrest, he said.The prisons were already overflowing so he‟d just get an ASBO, and he could live with that.Well, we‟ve got to show him and everyone like him that the party‟s over.I know that when politicians talk about punishment and tough sentencing people roll their eyes.Yes, last week we saw the criminal justice system deal with an unprecedented challenge: the courts sat through the night and dispensed swift, firm justice.We saw that the system was on the side of the law-abiding majority.But confidence in the system is still too low.And believe me – I understand the anger with the level of crime in our country today and I am determined we sortit out and restore people‟s faith that if someone hurts our society, if they break the rules in our society, then society will punish them for it.And we will tackle the hard core of people who persistently reoffend and blight the lives of their communities.So no-one should doubt this government‟s determination to be tough on crime and to mount an effective security fight-back.But we need much more than that.We need a social fight-back too, with big changes right through our society.Families and parenting Let me start with families.The question people asked over and over again last week was …where are the parents?

Yes, these questions are already being asked across government but what happened last week gives them a new urgency –and we need to act on it.Respect for community Just as we want schools to be proud of we want everyone to feel proud of their communities.We need a sense of social responsibility at the heart of every community.Yet the truth is that for too long the big bossy bureaucratic state has drained it away.It‟s usurped local leadership with its endless Whitehall diktats.It‟s frustrated local organisers with its rules and regulations And it‟s denied local people any real kind of say over what goes on where they live.Is it any wonder that many people don‟t feel they have a stake in their community?

Are these changes bold enough to spread the social responsibility we need right across our communities, especially in our cities? That‟s what we‟re going to be looking at urgently over the coming weeks.Because we won‟t get things right in our country if we don‟t get them right in our communities.Responsibility and welfare But one of the biggest parts of this social fight-back is fixing the welfare system.For years we‟ve had a system that encourages the worst in people –that incites laziness, that excuses bad behaviour, that erodes self-discipline, that discourages hard work……above all that drains responsibility away from people.We talk about moral hazard in our financial system – where banks think they can act recklessly because the state will always bail them out……well this is moral hazard in our welfare system –people thinking they can be as irresponsible as they like because the state will always bail them out.We‟re already addressing this through the Welfare Reform Bill going through parliament.But I‟m not satisfied that we‟re doing all we can.I want us to look at toughening up the conditions for those who are out of work and receiving benefits……and speeding up our efforts to get all those who can workback to work Work is at the heart of a responsible society.So getting more of our young people into jobs, or up and running in their own businesses is a critical part of how we strengthen responsibility in our society.Our Work Programme is the first step, with local authorities, charities, social enterprises and businesses all working together to provide the best possible help to get a job.It leaves no one behind – including those who have been on welfare for years.But there is more we need to do, to boost self-employment and enterprise…because it‟s only by getting our young people into work that we can build an ownership society in which everyone feels they have a stake.Human rights and health and safety As we consider these questions of attitude and behaviour, the signals that government sends, and the incentives it creates……we inevitably come to the question of the Human Rights Act and the culture associated with it.Let me be clear: in this country we are proud to stand up for human rights, at home and abroad.It is part of the British tradition.But what is alien to our tradition –and now exerting such a corrosive influence on behaviour and morality……is the twist ing and misrepresenting of human rights in a way that has undermined personal responsibility.We are attacking this problem from both sides.We‟re working to develop a way through the morass by looking at creating our own British Bill of Rights.And we will be using our current chairmanship of the Council of Europe to seek agreement to important operational changes to the European Convention on Human Rights.But this is all frustratingly slow.The truth is, the interpretation of human rights legislation has exerted a chilling effect on public sector organisations, leading them to act in waysthat fly in the face of common sense, offend our sense of right and wrong, and undermine responsibility.It is exactly the same with health and safety –where regulations have often been twisted out of all recognition into a culture where the words …health and safety‟are lazily trotted out to justify all sorts of actions and regulations that damage our social fabric.So I want to make something very clear: I get it.This stuff matters.And as we urgently review the work we‟re doing on the broken society, judging whether it‟s ambitious enough – I want to make it clear that there will be no holds barred……and that most definitely includes the human rights and health and safety culture.National Citizen Service Many people have long thought that the answer to these questions of social behaviour is to bring back national service.In many ways I agree……and that‟s why we are actually introducing something similar – National Citizen Service.It‟s a non-military programme that captures the spirit of national service.It takes sixteen year-olds from different backgrounds and gets them to work together.They work in their communities, whether that‟s coaching children to play football, visiting old people at the hospital or offering a bike repair service to the community.It shows young people that doing good can feel good.The real thrill is from building things up, not tearing them down.Team-work, discipline, duty, decency: these might sound old-fashioned words but they are part of the solution to this very modern problem of alienated, angry young people.Restoring those values is what National Citizen Service is all about.I passionately believe in this idea.It‟s something we‟ve been developing for years.Thousands of teenagers are taking part this summer.The plan is for thirty thousand to take part next year.But in response to the riots I willsay this.This should become a great national effort.Let‟s make National Citizen Service available to all sixteen year olds as a rite of passage.We can do that if we work together: businesses, charities, schools and social enterprises……and in the months ahead I will put renewed effort into making it happen.Conclusion T oday I‟ve talked a lot about what the government is going to do.But let me be clear: This social fight-back is not a job for government on its ernment doesn‟t run the businesses that create jobs and turn lives ernment doesn‟t make the video games or print the magazines or produce the music that tells young people what‟s important in ernment can‟t be on every street and in every estate, instilling the values that matter.This is a problem that has deep roots in our society, and it‟s a job for all of our society to help fix it.In the highest offices, the plushest boardrooms, the most influential jobs, we need to think about the example we are setting.Moral decline and bad behaviour is not limited to a few of the poorest parts of our society.In the banking crisis, with MPs‟ expenses, in the phone hacking scandal, we have seen some of the worst cases of greed, irresponsibility and entitlement.The restoration of responsibility has to cut right across our society.Because whatever the arguments, we all belong to the same society, and we all have a stake in making it better.There is no …them‟ and …us‟– there is us.We are all in this together, and we will mend our broken society – together.第二篇：英国首相卡梅伦演讲稿英国新首相戴维卡梅伦就职演说，全文如下：HER MAJESTY the queen has

I want to thank you for that speech
I want to thank you for the passion that you have shown in this whole campaign
I want to thank you for the leadership you give to the conservatives in Scotland.
But above all, I want to thank you for such clear message you’ve given about how we are better together, you have been an absolute model in this campaign, and thank you. 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 or in our UK-wide celebrations and commemorations or 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 you know what, 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 an d 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, yes, 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.。
