英国新任首相—保守党领袖大卫卡梅隆的就职演讲
Full Text:
全文如下：
Her Majesty the Queen has asked me to form the new government, and I have accepted. Before I talk about that new government, let me say something about the one that has just past.
就在刚才，女王陛下请我组建新政府，我接受了这一邀请。在我开始畅谈新政府以前，我想先回顾过去的这一届。
Compared with a decade ago, this counecdpUhTztry is more open at home, and more compassionate abroad, and that is something we should all be grateful for. 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.
我们国家相比十年前，对内更加明朗开放，对外更加宽宏大量。我们所有人都应对此心怀感激。我代表整个国家，对刚刚离任的上届首相全身心的投入公职表示敬意。
In terms of the future, our country has a hung parliament when 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 our reform.
在未来，由于无一党派占压倒性大多数议席，我们
国家将由“无政府议会（又译悬浮议会/悬峙国会）”
领导。我们面临一些很严峻的问题—国家财政赤字、
社会问题严峻、政体急丞改革。。。。
For those reasons, I aim to form a proper and full coalition between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. 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.
据此，我希望建立一个由保守党和自由民主党组成的，全面有效的联合政府。我们现在急需一个强大稳定，积极得体的政府，我ecdpUhTz相信这是正确的做法。
Nick Clegg and I are both political leaders who want to put aside party differences and work hard for the common good and for the national interest. I believe that is the best way to get the strong government that we need, the decisive government that we need today.
尼克克莱格（自由民主党领导人）和我都是政党领袖，我们希望抛开党派纷争，共同致力于国家利益和社会公益。我们需要一个力量强大、行为果断的政府，这是我们最好的办法。
I came into politics, because I love this country. I think it’s “Best days still lie ahead”, and I believe deeply in public service, and I think the service our country needs right now is to face up to our really big challenges, to confront our problems, to take difficult decisions, to lead people through the difficult decisions, so that together, we can reach better time ahead.
我从政，是因为我热爱这个国家。我坚信公共事务，相信来日方长。我认为我国现在急需勇敢面临困难挑战，面对最大症结，做出艰难决定，带领全体人民共克时艰。这样，我们才能触及前方更好的时代。
One of the tasks that we clearly have is to rebuild trust in our political system.
Yes that’s about cleaning up expenses;
Yes that’s about reforming parliament;
Yes it’s about making sure people are in control and that politicians are always their servants, and never their masters.
But I believe it’s also something else.
It’s about being honest about what government can achieve;
显然我们现在面临的任务之一，是在我国政体中重建信任。
没错，这意味着清算费用冗余；
没错，这意味着重组议会；
没错，这意味着保证民众安稳，
并且保证政治官员永远是人民的公仆，而非主人。
我也相信这意味着别的。
这意味着：对政府所能做的一切坦诚相告。
Real change is not what government can do on its own, real change is when everyone polls together, comes together, works together when we all exercise our responsibilities to ourselves, to our families, to our communities, and to others.
真正的改变不是政府自身能做什么，而是当所有人共同参与，团结一致，万众一心，对自己负责，对家庭负责，对社会负责，对他人负责。
And I want to help trying build a more responsible society here in Britain.
When will we don’t just ask what are my entitlements, but what are my responsibilities;
When will we don’t just ask where what I do just owed, but more what I can give.
同时，我想帮助英国组建一个更加具有责任感的政府。
我们何时能不问自身的权利，而是个人的责任在哪里？
我们何时能不关心谁使我亏欠，而关注自身所能给予。
And the guide for that society—that those who can should, and those who can’t, we will always help.
I want to make sure that my government always looks after the elderly, the frail, and the poorest in our country. We must take everyone through us, at some of the difficult decisions that we have ahead.
我们社会的共同纲领是—能助人者皆应助人，不能助人者人皆助之。
我想确保我带领的政府总是尊老爱幼，济贫扶弱。我们会带领所有人，共度前方难关。
Above all, it will be a government that is built on some clear values— values of freedom, values of fairness, and values of responsibility. I want us to build an economy that rewards work, I want us to build a society with stronger families, stronger communities and I want the political systems to be what people can trust, and look after you once again.
这一政府将建在一些明确的价值观之上——追求自由，平等，责任。我希望建立酬勤付薪的经济，美好稳定的家庭，和睦友善的社会。我希望政府能重为人民所信任，重新照顾你们。
This is going to be hard and difficult work. A coalition will bring us all sort of challenges. I believe together, we can provide that strong, stable government, that our country needs, based on those values, rebuilding family, rebuilding community, and above all, rebuilding responsibility in our country.
这将是接下来一连串的艰难任务。联合政府会带来重重挑战。我相信通过我们的共同努力，我们能组建一个强大稳定，为英国所需的政府。在那一系列的价值观之上，重建家庭和睦，重建社会稳定，最重要的重建我们国家，你我的责任。
Those are the things that I care about.
Those are the things that this government will now start work on doing.
Thank you very much!
这就是我现在关心的事情。
这就是本届政府现在开始着手的议题。
谢谢大家！

In David Cameron I follow in the footsteps of a great modern Prime Minister.
　　我所接任的大卫卡梅伦是一位杰出的领袖。
　　Under David’s leadership the government stabilised the economy, reduced the budget deficit and helped more people into work than ever before.
　　大卫领导下的政府稳定了国家经济，减少了财政赤字，帮助了比以往更多的人就业。
　　But David’s true legacy is not about the economy but about social justice.
　　但是，大卫所留下的真正精髓无关乎经济，而在于社会公正。
　　From the introduction of same sex marriage to taking people on low wages搜趣网 out of income tax altogether, David Cameron has led a one nation government and it is in that spirit that I also plan to lead.
　　从允许同性婚姻合法化，到对低收入人群免征个人所得税，大卫卡梅伦领导了一届“一个国家”的政府，我计划秉承同样的精神展开我的领导。
　　Because not everybody knows this but the full title of my party is the Conservative and Unionist Party and that word unionist is very important to me.因为我的政党，也许有人还不知道，它的全称是保守与统一党，“统一”一词对我而言意义非凡。
　　It means we believe in the union, the precious, precious bond between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - but it means something else that is just as important.
　　它意味着，我们相信联合，我们相信英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰之间弥足珍贵的纽带关系——它更意味着与这同等重要的东西。
　　It means we believe in a union not just between the nations of the United Kingdom but between all of our citizens - every one of us - whoever we are and wherever we're from.
　　它意味着，我们相信的联合不仅仅是英国各地区之间的联合，更是我们全体人民之间的联合——包括我们当中的每一位人民——不论我们是谁，来自何方。That means fighting against the burning injustice that if you're born poor you will die on average nine years earlier than others.这就表示我们会与迫在眉睫的社会不公作斗争，比如，如果你出身贫寒，你将比他人平均少活九年
　　If you're black you are treated more harshly by the criminal justice system than if you're white.
　　如果你是黑人，你将比白人在刑事司法制度下受到更严酷的对待

　　如果你是女性，你将挣得比男性更少；
　　If you suffer from mental health problems, there's not enough help to hand.
　　如果你遭受心理健康问题之苦，你尚未获得足够的帮助；
　　If you're young you will find it harder than ever before to own your own home.
　　如果你是年轻人，你将发现拥有自己的住房比以往任何时候都难。
　　But the mission to make Britain a country that works for everyone means more than fighting these injustices. If you're from an ordinary working class family, life is much harder than many people in Westminster realise.
　　然而，使英国成为一个为每一位人民服务的国家远远不止于同上述社会不公作斗争。如果你来自一个普通的工薪家庭，你的生活远比威斯敏斯特的很多人所意识到的要艰辛得多。
　　You have a job, but you don't always have job security. You have your own home but you worry about paying the mortgage.
　　你有一份工作，但你并不总是有工作保障。你有自己的住房，但你为偿还贷款发愁。
　　You can just about manage, but you worry about the cost of living and getting your kids into a good school.
　　你勉强维持生计，同时不得不为生活开销和将子女送入好学校忧心。
　　If you are one of those families, if you're just managing, I want to address you directly. I know you are working around the clock, I know you're doing your best and I know that sometimes life can be a struggle.
　　如果你正是这样的家庭之一，如果你正在处理这些问题，那么我想直接告诉你：我知道你正在没日没夜工作，我明白你已全力以赴，我也理解生活有时会很艰辛。
　　The government I lead will be driven, not by the interests of the privileged few搜趣网 but by yours. We will do everything we can to give you more control over your lives.
　　我所领导的政府不会为拥有特权的少数人的利益所牵制，而是服务于你的利益。我们将竭尽所能，赋予你更多掌控自己生活的权利。
　　When we take the big calls we will think not of the powerful, but you. When we pass new laws we will listen not to the mighty, but to you.
　　当我们需做出重大决定时，我们www.souquanme.com不会服从权力，而是考虑你。当我们通过新的法案时，我们不会听从权势，而是倾听你。
　　When it comes to taxes we will prioritise not the wealthy, but you. When it comes to opportunity we won’t entrench the advantages of the fortunate few, we will do everything we can to help anybody, whatever your background, to go as far as your talents will take you.
　　在税收方面，我们不会优先考虑富人，而是关心你。在机会方面，我们不会巩固少数幸运儿的优势，而是不遗余力地帮助每一个人最大限度地发挥其才能，不论其背景如何。
　　We are living through an important moment in our country's history.
　　我们正处于国家历史上的一个重要时刻。
