丘吉尔二战著名演讲

丘吉尔二战著名演讲：热血、汗水和眼泪

1940年5月8日，由于前首相张伯伦遭到不信任质疑动议， 被迫辞 职。5月10日下午6时，国王召见丘吉尔，令其组阁；一小时后丘

吉尔会见工党领袖艾德礼，邀请工党加入内阁并获得支持。

3天后丘 吉尔首次以首相身份出席下议院会议，发表了著名的讲话:

的是什么？我可以用一个词来答复：胜利，不惜一切代价去争取胜利, 无论多么恐怖也要争取胜利，无论道路多么遥远艰难，也要争取胜利, 因为没有胜利就无法生存。”下议院最终以381票对0票的绝对优势 表明了对丘吉尔政府的支持。 演讲全文:

On Friday eve ning last I received from His Majesty the missi on to form a new admi nistratio n.
