David Cameron made an emotional speech on the steps of Number 10 where he announced his resignation. (视频网址:/p/news/live/gtx/v/2016-06-24/175165263695.html) Here's what the PM said in full:
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.
国家刚刚举行了一场规模巨大的民主活动,也许是我们历史上最大的。来自英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士、北爱尔兰和直布罗陀,超过3300万人民行使了发言权。
We should be proud of the fact that in these islands we trust the people with these big decisions.
我们应该感到自豪的是,我们信任这些岛屿上人民做出的重大决策。
We not only have a parliamentary democracy, but on questions about the arrangements for how we are governed, there are times when it is right to ask the people themselves, and that is what we have done.
我们不仅拥有一个议会民主制,而且有关国家如何治理的问题,有的时候就需要问问人民自己,这就是我们所做的。

英国人民的意志就是命令,必须服从。这不是一个可以掉以轻心的决定,尤其因为各种不同组织对其重要性曾做出的那些解释,所有不用对结果有任何怀疑。
Across the world people have been watching the choice that Britain has made. I would reassure those markets and investors that Britain’s economy is fundamentally strong.
全球各地的人们都看到了英国做出的选择,我想向市场和投资者保证,英国经济的基本面是强劲的。
And I would also reassure Britons living in European countries and European citizens living here that there will 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. 对于居住在欧盟各国的英国人,以及住在英国的欧盟公民,我向你们保证你们的状况不会立即发生改变,出行方式暂时不会变化,货物依然可以流通,服务依旧能够交易。
We must now prepare for a negotiation with the European Union. This will need to involve the 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
