The name "Westminster" somehow or other seems familiar to me. I -- I feel as if I've heard of it before. Indeed now that I come to think of it, it was at Westminster that I received a very large part of my education in politics, dialectic, rhetoric -- and one or two other things. So, in fact we have both been educated at the same, or similar, or, at any rate, kindred establishments.我真的很高兴今天下午来到威斯敏斯特学院。

这是丘吉尔1940年5月13日在下院发表的首相就职演讲,内容大概如下:“我所能奉贤的,只有热血和辛劳,眼泪和汗水。

你们问:我们的政策是什么我说,我们的政策就是用上帝所给予我们的全部能力和全部力量,在海上.陆地上和空中进行战争。

同一个邪恶悲惨的人类罪恶史上从为见过的穷凶极恶的暴政进行战争。

你们问:我们的目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,无论多么恐怖也要去争取胜利;无论道路多么遥远和艰难,也要去争取胜利;因为没有胜利,就不能生存。

在这个时候,我觉得我有权要求大家的支持,我说:起来,让我们联合起来,共同前进!”热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水丘吉尔星期五晚上,我接受了英王陛下的委托,组织新政府。

这次组阁,应包括所有的政党,既有支持上届政府的政党,也有上届政府的反对党,显而易见,这是议会和国家的希望与意愿。

我已完成了此项任务中最重要的部分。

战时内阁业已成立,由5位阁员组成,其中包括反对党的自由主义者,代表了举国一致的团结。

三党领袖已经同意加入战时内阁,或者担任国家高级行政职务。

三军指挥机构已加以充实。

由于事态发展的极端紧迫感和严重性,仅仅用一天时间完成此项任务,是完全必要的。

其他许多重要职位已在昨天任命。

我将在今天晚上向英王陛下呈递补充名单,并希望于明日一天完成对政府主要大臣的任命。

其他一些大臣的任命,虽然通常需要更多一点的时间,但是,我相信会议再次开会时,我的这项任务将告完成,而且本届政府在各方面都将是完整无缺的。

我认为,向下院建议在今天开会是符合公众利益的。

议长先生同意这个建议,并根据下院决议所授予他的权力,采取了必要的步骤。

今天议程结束时,建议下院休会到5月21日星期二。

热血、汗水和眼泪(温斯顿·丘吉尔)Blood, Sweat and TearsWinston Churchill May 13, 1940英汉对照On Friday evening last I received from His Majesty 1 the mission to form a new administration. It was the evident will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest possible basis and that it should include all parties. I have already completed the most important part of this task. A war cabinet has been formed of five members, representing, with the Labor 2 , Opposition 3 and Liberals, the unity 4 of the nation. It was necessary that this should be done in one single day on account of the extreme urgency and rigor 5 of events. Other key positions were filled yesterday. I am submitting a further list to the King tonight. I hope to complete the appointment of principal Ministers during tomorrow. The appointment of other Ministers usually takes a little longer. I trust when Parliament meets again this part of my task will be completed and that the administration will be complete in all respects. I considered it in the public interest to suggest to the Speaker that the House should besummoned today. At the end of today's proceedings 6 , the adjournment 7 of the House will be proposed until May 2l with provision for earlier meeting if need be. Business for that will be notified to M. P. 's at the earliest opportunity. I now invite the House by a resolution to record its approval of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new government. The resolution: "That this House welcomes the formation of a government representing the united and inflexible 8 resolve of the nation to prosecute 9 the war with Germany to a victorious 10 conclusion." To form an administration of this scale and complexity 11 is a serious undertaking 12 in itself. But we are in the preliminary Phase of one of the greatest battles in history. We are in action at any other points-in Norway and in Holland-and we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean 13 . The air battle is continuing, and many preparations have to be made here at home. In this crisis I think I may be pardoned if I do not address the House at any length today, and I hope that any of my friends and colleagues or for mer colleagues who are affected 14 by the political reconstruction 15 will make all allowances for any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act. I say to the House as I said to Ministers who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil 16 , tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal 17 of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, manymonths of struggle and suffering. You ask, what is our policy?I say it is to wage war by land, sea and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous 18 tyranny never surpassedin the dark and lamentable 19 catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word, It is victory. Victory at all costs-victory in spite of all terrors-victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival. Let that be realized. No survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall move forward toward his goal. I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. I feel entitled at this juncture 20 , at this time, to claim the aid ofall and to say, "Come then, let us go forward together withour united strength."-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "热血、汗水和眼泪" 温斯顿·丘吉尔 1940年5月13日上星期五晚上,我奉陛下之命,组织新的一届政府。

丘吉尔演讲:Never Give Up (英语原文)Never Give UpOctober 29, 1941Harrow SchoolWhen Churchill visited Harrow on October 29 to hear the traditional songs again, he discovered that anadditional verse had been added to one of them. It ran:“Not less we praise in darker daysThe leader of our nation,And Churchill’s name shall win acclaimFrom each new generation.For you have power in danger’s hourOur freedom to defend, Sir!Though long the fight we know that rightWill triumph in the end, Sir!Almost a year has passed since I came down here at your Head Master’s kind invitation in order to cheer myself and cheer the hearts of a few of my friends by singing some of our own songs. The ten months that have passed have seenvery terrible catastrophic events in the world - ups and downs, misfortunes - but can anyone sitting here this afternoon, this October afternoon, not feel deeply thankful for what has happened in the time that has passed and for the very great improvement in the position of our country and of our home? Why, when I was here last time we were quite alone, desperately alone, and we had been so for five or six months. We were poorly armed. We are not so poorly armed today; but then we were very poorly armed. We had the unmeasured menace of the enemy and their air attack still beating upon us, and you yourselves had had experience of this attack; and I expect you are beginning to feel impatient that there has been this long lull with nothing particular turning up!But we must learn to be equally good at what is short and sharp and what is long and tough. It is generally said that the British are often better at the last. They do not expect to move from crisis to crisis; they do not always expect that each day will bring up some noble chance of war; but when they very slowly make up their minds that the thinghas to be done and the job put through and finished, then, even if it takes months - if it takes years - they do it. Another lesson I think we may take, just throwing our minds back to our meeting here ten months ago and now, is that appearances are often very deceptive, and as Kipling well says, we must “…meet with Triumph and Disaster. And treat those two imp ostors just the same.”You cannot tell from appearances how things will go. Sometimes imagination makes things out far worse than they are; yet without imagination not much can be done. Those people who are imaginative see many more dangers than perhaps exist; certainly many more than will happen; but then they must also pray to be given that extra courage to carry this far-reaching imagination. But for everyone, surely, what we have gone through in this period - I am addressing myself to the School - surely from this period of ten months this is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to theapparently overwhelming might of the enemy. We stood all alone a year ago, and to many countries it seemed that our account was closed, we were finished. All this tradition of ours, our songs, our School history, this part of thehistory of this country, were gone and finished and liquidated.Very different is the mood today. Britain, other nations thought, had drawn a sponge across her slate. But instead our country stood in the gap. There was no flinching and no thought of giving in; and by what seemed almost a miracle to those outside these Islands, though we ourselves never doubted it, we now find ourselves in a position where I say that we can be sure that we have only to persevere to conquer.You sang here a verse of a School Song: you sang that extra verse written in my honour, which I was very greatly complimented by and which you have repeated today. But there is one word in it I want to alter - I wanted to do so last year, but I did not venture to. It is the line: “Not less we pr aise in darker days.”I have obtained the Head Master’s permission to alter darker to sterner. “Not less we praise in sterner days.” Do not let us speak of darker days: let us speak rather of sterner days. These are not dark days; these are great days - the greatest days our country has ever lived; and we must all thank God that we have been allowed, each of us according to our stations, to play a part in making these days memorable in the history of our race.。

丘吉尔就职演说(中英对照)

我们务必认识到,没有胜利就不复有大英帝国,没有胜利就不复有大英帝国所象征的一切,没有胜利就不复有多少世纪以来的强烈要求和冲动:人类应当向自己的目标迈进。
I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men.
我向国会表明,一如我向入阁的大臣们所表明的,我所能奉献的唯有热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水我们所面临的将是一场极其严酷的考验,将是旷日持久的斗争和苦难。
You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage(作战) war by land, sea and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.
在此时此刻的危急关头,我觉得我有权要求各方面的支持。我要说:“来吧,让我们群策群力,并肩前进!”
若问我们的政策是什么?我的回答是:在陆上、海上、空中作战。尽我们的全力,尽上帝赋予我们的全部力量去作战,对人类黑暗、可悲的罪恶史上空前凶残的暴政作战。这就是我们的政策。
You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word, It is victory. Victory at all costs-victory in spite of all terrors-victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.

(完整word)丘吉尔英文演讲 we shall never surrender

(完整word)丘吉尔英文演讲 we shall never surrender

We shall never surrenderNevertheless,our thankfulness at the escape of our army and so many men, whose loved ones have passed through an agonising week, must not blind us to the fact that what has happened in France and Belgium is a colossal military disaster。

The French army has been weakened, the Belgian army has been lost, a large part of those fortified lines upon which so much faith had been reposed is gone, many valuable mining districts and factories have passed into the enemy’s possession, the whole of the Channel ports are in his hands, with all the tragic consequences that follow from that, and we must expect another blow to be struck almost immediately at us or at France。

We are told that Herr Hitler has a plan for invading the British Isles。

This has often been thought of before。

When Napoleon lay at Boulogne for a year with his flat—bottomed boats and his Grand Army,he was told by someone, "There are bitter weeds in England.” There are certainly a great many more of them since the British Expeditionary Force returned.I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone。

The name "Westminster" somehow or other seems familiar to me. I -- I feel as if I've heard of it before. Indeed now that I come to think of it, it was at Westminster that I received a very large part of my education in politics, dialectic, rhetoric -- and one or two other things. So, in fact we have both been educated at the same, or similar, or, at any rate, kindred establishments.我真的很高兴今天下午来到威斯敏斯特学院。

丘吉尔演讲英文原文

英文原文Blood, Sweat And TearsWinston Churchill May 13, 1940On Friday evening last I received from His Majesty the mission to form a new administration.It was the evident will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest possible basis and that it should include all parties.I have already completed the most important part of this task. A war cabinet has been formed of five members, representing, with the Labor, Opposition and Liberals, the unity of the nation.It was necessary that this should be done in one single day on account of the extreme urgency and rigor of events. Other key positions were filled yesterday. I am submitting a further list to the King tonight. I hope to complete the appointment of principal Ministers during tomorrow.The appointment of other Ministers usually takes a little longer. I trust when Parliament meets again this part of my task will be completed and that the administration will be complete in all respects.I considered it in the public interest to suggest to the Speaker that the House should be summoned today. At the end of today'sproceedings, the adjournment of the House will be proposed until May 2l with provision for earlier meeting if need be. Business for that will be notified to M. P. 's at the earliest opportunity.I now invite the House by a resolution to record its approval of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new government. The resolutionThat this House welcomes the formation of a government representing the united and inflexible resolve of the nation to prosecute the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion.To form an administration of this scale and complexity is a serious undertaking in itself. But we are in the preliminary Phase of one of the greatest battles in history. We are in action at any otherpoints-in Norway and in Holland-and we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean. The air battle is continuing, and many preparations have to be made here at home.In this crisis I think I may be pardoned if I do not address the House at any length today, and I hope that any of my friends and colleagues or for mer colleagues who are affected by the political reconstruction will make all allowances for any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act.I say to the House as I said to Ministers who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering.You ask, what is our policy I say it is to wage war by land, sea and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.You ask, what is our aim I can answer in one word, It is victory. Victory at all costs-victory in spite of all terrors-victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.Let that be realized. No survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall move forward toward his goal.I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men.I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength.这是丘吉尔1940年5月13日在下院发表的首相就职演讲,内容大概如下:“我所能奉贤的,只有热血和辛劳,眼泪和汗水。

丘吉尔演讲:Never Give Up (英语原文)

丘吉尔演讲:Never Give Up (英语原文)From each new generation.For you have power in danger’s hourOur freedom to defend, Sir!Though long the fight we know that rightWill triumph in the end, Sir!Almost a year has passed since I came down here at your Head Master’s kind invitation in order to cheer myself and cheer the hearts of a few of my friends by singing some of our own songs. The ten months that have passed have seen very terrible catastrophic events in the world - ups and downs, misfortunes - but can anyone sitting here this afternoon, this October afternoon, not feel deeply thankful for what has happened in the time that has passed and for the very great improvement in the position of our country and of our home? Why, when I was here last time we were quite alone, desperately alone, and we had been so for five or six months. We were poorly armed. We are not so poorly armed today; but then we were very poorly armed. We had the unmeasured menace of the enemy and their air attack still beating upon us, and you yourselves had had experience of this attack; and I expect you are beginning to feel impatient that there has been this long lull with nothing particular turning up!But we must learn to be equally good at what is short and sharp and what is long and tough. It is generally said that the British are often betterat the last. They do not expect to move from crisis to crisis; they do not always expect that each day will bring up some noble chance of war; but when they very slowly make up their minds that the thing has to be done and the job put through and finished, then, even if it takes months - if it takes years - they do it.Another lesson I think we may take, just throwing our minds back to our meeting here ten months ago and now, is that appearances are often very deceptive, and as Kipling well says, we must “…meet with Triumph and Disaster. And treat those two impostors just the same.”You cannot tell from appearances how things will go. Sometimes imagination makes things out far worse than they are; yet without imagination not much can be done. Those people who are imaginative see many more dangers than perhaps exist; certainly many more than will happen; but then they must also pray to be given that extra courage to carry this far-reaching imagination. But for everyone, surely, what we have gone through in this period - I am addressing myself to the School - surely from this period of ten months this is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. We stood all alone a year ago, and to many countries it seemed that our account was closed, we were finished. All this traditionof ours, our songs, our School history, this part of the history of this country, were gone and finished and liquidated.Very different is the mood today. Britain, other nations thought, had drawn a sponge across her slate. But instead our country stood in the gap. There was no flinching and no thought of giving in; and by what seemed almost a miracle to those outside these Islands, though we ourselves never doubted it, we now find ourselves in a position where I say that we can be sure that we have only to persevere to conquer.You sang here a verse of a School Song: you sang that extra verse written in my honour, which I was very greatly complimented by and which you have repeated today. But there is one word in it I want to alter - I wanted to do so last year, but I did not venture to. It is the line: “Not less we praise in darker days.”I have obtained the Head Master’s permission to alter darker to sterner. “Not less we praise in sterner days.”Do not let us speak of darker days: let us speak rather of sterner days. These are not dark days; these are great days - the greatest days our country has ever lived; and we must all thank God that we have been allowed, each of us according to our stations, to play a part in making these days memorable in the history of our race.。

In the year 1990, this Cuban singer was knocked down in a traffic accident, and the doctor declared that she might never walk again. But Gloria did not give up and kept up constant exercising. Just one year after the disaster, she stood up again and presented this encouraging song at the Atlanta Olympics.Whenever I think of Gloria, I can’t h elp recalling my memory seven years ago, when I first entered university. Naturally shy,ordinary looking, average scores in study, just like an ugly duckling, I seemed to be the least outstanding one in my class. And the successive failures in the beginning led me into despair. “Am I destined to take the back seat to others?” Unwilling to submit to the fate, I paid more efforts on my study as well as many other activities, film dubbing, recital, drama… cause I just want to catch every little opportunity to prove myself. Constant effort yields sure success. Thanks to the competition, I received some awards and most of all, I gained the courage and confidence to face any difficulties in my life journey.Life is just like farming, and what you can reap depends a lot on your sowing and dedication. Once you have a dreaam, don’t be hesitant. Your next difficult step may be the one to the top. Keep going forward, even in the toughest time, and never give up.永不放弃“如果我能到达更高的地方,哪怕只有碰触天空的一刹那…”---选自我所喜爱的歌曲《到达》。

你们问:我们的政策是什么?我说,我们的政策就是用上帝所给予我们的全部能力和全部力量,在海上.陆地上和空中进行战争。

同一个邪恶悲惨的人类罪恶史上从为见过的穷凶极恶的暴政进行战争。

你们问:我们的目的是什么?我可以用一个词来答复:胜利————不惜一切代价去争取胜利,无论多么恐怖也要去争取胜利;无论道路多么遥远和艰难,也要去争取胜利;因为没有胜利,就不能生存。

在这个时候,我觉得我有权要求大家的支持,我说:起来,让我们联合起来,共同前进!”热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水(1940.5.13)丘吉尔星期五晚上,我接受了英王陛下的委托,组织新政府。

这次组阁,应包括所有的政党,既有支持上届政府的政党,也有上届政府的反对党,显而易见,这是议会和国家的希望与意愿。

我已完成了此项任务中最重要的部分。

战时内阁业已成立,由5位阁员组成,其中包括反对党的自由主义者,代表了举国一致的团结。

三党领袖已经同意加入战时内阁,或者担任国家高级行政职务。

三军指挥机构已加以充实。

由于事态发展的极端紧迫感和严重性,仅仅用一天时间完成此项任务,是完全必要的。

其他许多重要职位已在昨天任命。

我将在今天晚上向英王陛下呈递补充名单,并希望于明日一天完成对政府主要大臣的任命。

其他一些大臣的任命,虽然通常需要更多一点的时间,但是,我相信会议再次开会时,我的这项任务将告完成,而且本届政府在各方面都将是完整无缺的。

我认为,向下院建议在今天开会是符合公众利益的。

议长先生同意这个建议,并根据下院决议所授予他的权力,采取了必要的步骤。

今天议程结束时,建议下院休会到5月21日星期二。

当然,还要附加规定,如果需要的话,可以提前复会。

下周会议所要考虑的议题,将尽早通知全体议员。

现在,我请求下院,根据以我的名义提出的决议案,批推已采取的各项步骤,将它记录在案,并宣布对新政府的信任。

组成一届具有这种规模和复杂性的政府,本身就是一项严肃的任务。

但是大家一定要记住,我们正处在历史上一次最伟大的战争的初期阶段,我们正在挪威和荷兰的许多地方进行战斗,我们必须在地中海地区做好准备,空战仍在继续,众多的战备工作必须在国内完成。
