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。

Ladies and Gentlemen,。
It is with great honor and privilege that I stand before you today to deliver this speech. The topic of my speech today is the importance of perseverance and courage in the face of adversity, and I will be drawing upon the words of the great Winston Churchill to illustrate this point.Winston Churchill, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, was known for his powerful and inspiring speeches, particularly during the dark days of World War II. His words served as a source of strength and hope for the British people, and his leadership played a crucial role in the eventual victory over the forces of tyranny.One of Churchill's most famous speeches is his address to the House of Commons on June 4, 1940, commonly referred to as the "We Shall Fight on the Beaches" speech. In this speech, Churchill rallied the British people to stand firm in the face of the Nazi threat, declaring, "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."These words, delivered with unwavering conviction and determination, served to galvanize the British people and bolster their resolve to resist the enemy at all costs. Churchill's speech is a powerful reminder of the importance of courage and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.Churchill's words continue to resonate with people around the world today, serving as a timeless example of leadership and fortitude in the face of adversity. His unwavering belief in the strength of the human spirit and the power of determination serves as an inspiration to all who face difficult challenges in their lives.In conclusion, Winston Churchill's speeches, particularly his address to the House of Commons on June 4, 1940, serve as a powerful reminder of the importance ofperseverance and courage in the face of adversity. His words continue to inspire and uplift people around the world, reminding us of the indomitable nature of the human spirit. As we face our own challenges and struggles, let us draw strength from Churchill's example and never lose faith in our ability to overcome the obstacles that stand in our way.Thank you.。

铁血泪BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS"(温斯顿丘吉尔的演讲)Winston Churchill (May 13, 1940 ) On Friday evening last I received from His Majesty the mission to form a new administration.It was the evident will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest possible basis and that it should include all parties.I have already completed the most important part of this task. A war cabinet has been formed of five members, representing, with the Labor, Opposition and Liberals, the unity of the nation.It was necessary that this should be done in one single day on account of the extreme urgency and rigor of events. Other key positions were filled yesterday. I am submitting a further list to the King tonight. I hope to complete the appointment of principal Ministers during tomorrow.The appointment of other Ministers usually takes a little longer. I trust when Parliament meets again this part of my task will be completed and that the administration will be complete in all respects.I considered it in the public interest to suggest to the Speaker that the House should be summoned today. At the end of today's proceedings, the adjournment of the House will be proposed until May 2l with provision for earlier meeting if need be. Business for that will be notified to M. P. 's at the earliest opportunity.I now invite the House by a resolution to record its approval of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new government. The resolution:"That this House welcomes the formation of a government representing the united and inflexible resolve of the nation to prosecute the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion."To form an administration of this scale and complexity is a serious undertaking in itself. But we are in the preliminary Phase of one of the greatest battles in history. We are in action at any other points-in Norway and in Holland-and we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean. The air battle is continuing, and many preparations have to be made here at home.In this crisis I think I may be pardoned if I do not address the House at any length today, and I hope that any of my friends and 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 allcosts-victory in spite of all terrors-victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.Let that be realized. No survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall move forward toward his goal.I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men.I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, "Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength."“热血、汗水和眼泪”温斯顿?丘吉尔 (1940年5月13日 )上星期五晚上,我奉陛下之命,组织新的一届政府。

丘吉尔演讲:Never Give Up (英语原文).doc
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.。
丘吉尔的《BLOOD,SWEATANDTEARS》英语演讲稿:激励英国人民的信仰
丘吉尔的《BLOOD,SWEATANDTEARS》英语演讲稿:激励英国人民的信仰Ladies and gentlemen,It is often said that a great leader is one who caninspire their people to overcome any obstacle. Winston Churchill, the legendary Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, lived up to this ideal in every possible way. In the face of extreme adversity, he gave the English people the strength to fight on with his now-iconic “Blood, Sweat and Tears” speech.I stand here today to remind you of the tremendous impact of that speech on the people of Britain, and to rekindle the spirit of courage and determination that it epitomized. More than seventy years later, it remains a shining example of the power of words to inspire a nation.Back then, Britain was fighting desperately for its very survival. The threat of Nazi Germany was looming large, andthe country had just lost one-third of its navy at the handsof the Germans. The world was watching as Britain stood aloneagainst this formidable enemy. In such trying times, the morale of the British people was at an all-time low.And that's when Churchill stepped up to the podium in the House of Commons to make his famous speech. He began by acknowledging the gravity of the situation, and the immense struggle that lay ahead. He then went on to declare his unwavering resolve to fight on, with the full support of the people of Britain.He painted a vivid picture of the horrors of war, and the intense sacrifice that would be required to win it. He spoke of the blood that would be shed, the sweat that would be poured, and the tears that would be shed. But he also emphasized that these sacrifices were necessary, and that the only way to overcome the enemy was to face them head-on with unwavering courage.His words galvanized the entire nation. They gave hope to those who had lost faith, and inspired those who had never given up. People were no longer just fighting for their own survival, but for the survival of their country and the preservation of their way of life. Churchill's speech gavethem the faith and the conviction that they could emerge victorious, no matter what the cost.Looking back, it's clear that the “Blood, Sweat and Tears” speech played a pivotal role in turning the tide of the war. It was a turning point in the history of Britain, and remains one of the most memorable speeches ever uttered by a leader. Its timeless message of resilience and determination continues to inspire people to this day, and serves as a reminder of the power of words to move nations.In conclusion, as the world battles through the COVID-19 pandemic today, we can all learn from the lessons and inspirations of Churchill's unparalleled leadership and courage. We must embrace the struggle and hardship, rejecting defeatism and timidity. Instead, we must face the challenges and fight on, with unwavering determination and unflagging spirit, till the day we emerge victorious. As Churchill said at the end of his speech: "We shall go on to the end. Weshall never surrender."。

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 tradition of 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.以下文字仅用于测试排版效果, 请使用时删除!“山不在高,有仙则灵。
丘吉尔铁幕演说纯英语演讲稿
丘吉尔铁幕演说纯英语演讲稿Ladies and gentlemen, on this momentous day, I stand before you to address the pressing issue that has cast a shadow over the free world. The Iron Curtain has descended across the continent, from Stettin in the Baltic to Triestein the Adriatic, dividing the free from the enslaved. This is not merely a political divide; it is a barrier to the very essence of liberty, a stark reminder that the battle for freedom is far from over.We must not stand idly by as the forces of tyranny encroach upon the values we hold dear. The time has come for us to rally together, to reaffirm our commitment to the principles of democracy and to stand as a bulwark against the encroaching darkness. The world has watched with bated breath as the Soviet sphere of influence has spread, and it is up to us, the guardians of freedom, to ensure that this tide does not sweep away the very foundations of our civilization.Let us not be deceived by the rhetoric of peace and cooperation. The actions of the Soviet Union speak louder than their words, and their actions have been those of an expansionist power, seeking to impose their will upon the nations of Eastern Europe. We must be vigilant, for the stakes are nothing less than the future of our way of life.In the face of this challenge, we must not waver. We must invest in our defenses, strengthen our alliances, and worktirelessly to promote the cause of freedom around the world. It is our duty to ensure that the light of democracy continues to shine brightly, even in the darkest of times.I call upon the nations of the world to join us in this noble endeavor. Let us stand united, not as adversaries, but as allies in the fight for freedom. For it is only through unity that we can hope to overcome the forces that seek to extinguish the flame of liberty.So, let us be resolute, let us be determined, and let us be unwavering in our pursuit of a world where the Iron Curtain is lifted, and the sun of freedom shines upon all. Thank you.。

丘吉尔演讲稿
丘吉尔演讲稿《Blood,》,《Weshallfightthemonthebeachers》,《(铁幕演说)》,三篇演讲稿英文及其翻译。
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。
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。
2019年丘吉尔演讲:NeverGiveUp(英语原文)
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 an additional 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 seen very terrible catastrophic events in the world - ups and downs, misfortunes - but can anyone sitting here this afternoon, this Octoberafternoon, 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 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.

(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。

丘吉尔演讲英文
It was the evident will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest possible basis and that it should include all parties.
I have already completed the most important part of this task. A war cabinet has been formed of five members, representing, with the Labor, Opposition and Liberals, the unity of the nation.
It was necessary that this should be done in one single day on account of the extreme urgency and rigor of events. Other key positions were filled yesterday.
I am submitting a further list to the King tonight. I hope to complete the appointment of principal Ministers during tomorrow.
The appointment of other Ministers usually takes a little longer. I trust when Parliament meets again this part of my task will be completed and that the administration will be complete in all respects.
I considered it in the public interest to suggest to the Speaker that the House should be summoned today. At the end of today’s proceedings, the adjournment of the House will be proposed until May 2l with provision
for earlier meeting if need be. Businefor that will be notified to M. P. ‘s at the earliest opportunity.
I now invite the House by a resolution to record its approval of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new government. The resolution That this House welcomes the formation of a government representing the united and inflexible resolve of the nation to prosecute the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion.
To form an administration of this scale and complexity is a serious undertaking in itself. But we are in the preliminary Phase of one of the greatest battles in history. We are in action at any other points-in Norway and in Holland-and we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean. The air battle is continuing, and many preparations have to be made here at home.
In this crisis I think I may be pardoned if I do not addrethe 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.。
