第一篇:英国首相布朗2010年新年致辞
In 2009 we said goodbye to Harry Patch, the last survivor of the generation of soldiers who risked their lives for Britain in the Great War.As we mourned him, we remembered too all those who have laid down their lives in the defence of this country we love.Last year was particularly tough for our forces in Afghanistan, and we face some more difficult months ahead.In late December we were reminded at this decade’s end, just as we were at its beginning, that there is a terrorist threat which puts our safety and security at risk and which requires us to take on al Qaeda and the Taliban at the epicentre of global terrorismthose who think things can never change, and those who believe they have to.And I think the vast majority of people are in the second camp.We are a nation that looks to the future, combining responsibility with fairness, compassion with aspirationa crisis that hit Britain hard because the financial sector is such an important part of our economy.But this is a nation of fighters and believers who meet each challenge with strength and sacrifice.We fought back against recession because we stood together and did not leave people isolated to face a difficult future on their own.Britain has learnt the bitter lessons of previous recessionsand if the experience of the last recession had been repeated, people’s chances of having a job would have been four times worse after they became unemployed, repossessions twice as bad and company insolvencies two and a half times worse.The decisions taken by Alistair Darling and all the ministers of this Government have meant that we have already seen off the worst of the recession.There is no denying it has been painful for somemore than at any point since records of this began in the 1980s, and fewer businesses closed in 2009 than in 2008.And I am confident that if we continue with the tough decisions we have made, unemployment will start to drop this year, and more small businesses will open and flourish.That wasn’t inevitable;it was the change we chose.And so my message today is simple;don’t wreck the recovery.The recovery is still fragile, and it needs to be nurtured in the interests of those who were hit hardest by the recessionthey simply want a bit of help to own their own home, set up their own businesses and give their children the best start in life.Because everyone who is willing to work hard and aim high deserves a fair shot at meeting their aspirations.My whole life in politics has been about trying to provide a ladder of opportunity, so that what matters is not where you come from but what you have to contribute.And that is the vision that will guide this Government in the tough decisions ahead.So let me talk to you about my key priorities for the coming yearand people with such high aspirationsand it is this strategy that means we are also able to cooperate with President Obama on non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, and with our European neighbours and others on defeating catastrophic climate change.So those are my priorities.My belief is that this is going to be a great decade for a great nation.If we continue to make the right decisions to unleash all the talent that is to be found in these islands, we have much to look forward to-and you and your families have my warm best wishes for the year ahead.

中国网讯 据英国媒体5月12日报道,英国首相布朗今晨发表讲话,称将向英国女王提交辞呈,辞去首相职务;同时立即辞去工党领袖职务。以下为布朗讲话全文:
正如你所知道的,在此次大选中没有哪个政党能够在下议院中拥有多数席位。我已表示,我将尽我所能以确保组建一个强有力的、稳定的、有原则的政府,这个政府将能够有效地处理英国所面临的经济和政治挑战。
我的宪法责任是确保在上周四的大选后英国能够组建一个政府。

只有那些曾担任过首相职务的人士才可以理解这一职务的责任是多么地重大,它能够为善事作出多大的贡献。我有幸在担任这一职务时最真切地了解人的本性,也很大程度上了解了人的脆弱性,也包括我自己人性的脆弱性。
首先,为国民服务是我的荣幸。是的,我爱这份工作,不是因为它所带来的特权、头衔、仪式,我根本不爱这些。不,我爱这份工作是因为它的潜力,使我所爱的国家更为公平、更宽容、更民主、更繁荣、更为正义,使其真的成为一个更为伟大的英国。
最近几年在面临许多挑战,包括全球金融危机在内的挑战时,我总是努力地为国家服务,为了英国的利益、它的价值和它的人民尽我所能、请让我补充说明一件事。
我将一直仰慕我在我们武装部队成员身上所看到的勇气。现在竞选活动已经结束,让我强调指出,在我和他们握手,直视他们的眼睛后,我们的士兵代表着这个国家最好的东西。我永远不会忘记所有那些光荣牺牲的士兵和今天仍生活在悲痛中的他们的家人。
我辞去工党领袖的决定将立刻生效。在这一时刻,我想感谢所有我的同事、大臣们、议员们。我特别想感谢我的所有工作人员,他们一直是我的朋友,是国家优秀的公仆。
我特别想感谢萨拉,谢谢她的坚定支持、她的爱、以及她对我们国家所作的事情。我感谢我的两个儿子约翰和弗拉塞尔,感谢他们的爱和他们给我们生活所带来的快乐。
在我将离任我生命中第二最重要的工作时,我更加珍视我的第一重要性的工作,那就是作为一名丈夫和父亲。

第四篇:英国首相卡梅伦2014新年致辞[推荐]
It’s a New Year – and for Britain there can only be one New Year’s resolution: to stick to the long-term plan that is turning our country around.新的一年到来了,对英国人民来说我们只有一个新年目标,那就是坚持长期计划,让英国走出经济低谷。
When we came to office, our economy was on its knees.Three and a half years later, we are turning a corner.We see it in the businesses that are opening up, the people who are getting decent jobs, the factories that are making British goods and selling them to the world again.The plan is working.曾经在我上台的时候,我国的经济几乎处于瘫痪状态。三年半之后的今天,我们正处在一个转折点。企业拓展着新的业务,人们逐渐都找到体面的工作,生产英国产品的工厂恢复其世界市场的销售,这些都能够让我们看到经济转折的趋势。我们的计划起作用了。
That’s why this year, 2014, we are not just going to stick to the plan – we are going to re-double our efforts to deliver every part of it, to benefit the whole country and secure a better future for everyone.这就是为什么,在新的一年我们不仅仅要坚持这项计划,我们要付出双倍的努力来实现计划的每一个部分,为整个国家谋福利,为每一位国民创造一个更美好的未来。
We’ll continue with the vital work on the deficit.We’ve reduced it by a third already and this year we will continue that difficult work, to safeguard our economy for the long-term, keep mortgage rates low and help families across Britain.We’re going to keep on doing everything possible to help hardworking people feel financially secure cutting income taxes and freezing fuel duty.我们将继续重视解决赤字问题。我们已经将赤字问题减少了三分之一。今年我们将继续进行这项艰难的工作,以保证长期的经济安全,保持低水平的抵押贷款利率,帮助全英国的家庭。我们将继续尽最大努力,帮助勤劳的人们获得财产安全感,削减收入所得税,冻结燃料税。
We’ll keep on working even harder to create more jobs, whether that’s through investment in our roads and railways, lower jobs taxes, or more help for Britain’s amazing small businesses.Those who run our small businesses are heroes and heroines, they are the backbone of our economy and we are supporting them every step of the way.我们将更加努力,通过各种方式创造更多的工作机会,如进行公路铁路投资、降低工作税收,或者鼓励支持英国出色的小型企业。小型企业的运营者是我们的国民英雄,是我国经济的支柱。在小型企业运转的每一步骤,我们都会给予大力支持。
We are going to keep on with our vital work on welfare and immigration too.We’ve already capped welfare and cut immigration and this year, we’ll carry on building an economy for people who work hard and play by the rules.And last but not least – we’re going to keep on delivering the best schools and skills for our children and young people so that when they leave education they have a real chance to get on in life.So this is a vital year for our economy.我们也会继续福利和移民方面的重要工作。我们已经限制福利和移民数量。今年,我们会继续为那些努力工作、遵守规则的人们创建更好的经济条件。最后,我们将继续为孩子们及年轻人提供最好的学校和技能,这一点至关重要。这样,在他们结束教育的时候,就能真正拥有开启新生活的机会。总之,今年对我国经济来说是非常重要的一年。
And 2014 is also an important date in the history of the United Kingdom.The referendum vote will be the biggest decision Scotland has ever been asked to make.The outcome matters to all of us, wherever we live in the UK.This is not a vote for the next few years, but a vote that could change our country forever.Our family of nations is at its best when we work together with shared interest and common purpose.This year, let the message go out from England, Wales and Northern Ireland to everyone in Scotland: we want you to stay – and together we can build an even stronger United Kingdom for our children and grandchildren.That’s what our long-term plan is about and we will stick to that plan this year.2014年也是英国历史上一个重要的日期。这一次全民公决将是苏格兰做过的最大的决定。公决的结果对我们每个人来说都很重要,无论我们住在英国的哪里。这次公决不仅会影响接下来几年的发展,而且可能永远改变我们的国家。我们是一个多民族的大家庭,如果大家齐心协力、利益相通、目标一致,那将是我们最好的时候。今年,希望这个消息可以从英格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰传递到苏格兰的每个人耳中,我们想让你们留下来,为了我们的孩子和子孙后代,一起建立一个更加富强的英国。这就是我们的长期计划重点所在,今年我们将坚持这项计划。
I’d like to wish everyone a happy New Year – and best wishes for 2014.祝大家新年快乐!2014年,送上我最好的祝愿!

后面汉语翻译
英国首相布朗今晨发表讲话,称将向英国女王提交辞呈,辞去首相职务;同时立即辞去工党领袖职务。以下为布朗讲话全文(中英文对照):
AS YOU know, the general election left no party able to command a majority in the House of Commons。正如你们所知道的,在此次大选中没有哪个政党能够在下议院中拥有多数席位。
I said I would do all that I could to ensure a strong, stable and principled government was formed, able to tackle Britain’s economic and political challenges effectively。
我曾说过,我将尽我所能以确保组建一个强有力的、稳定的、有原则的政府,这个政府将能够有效地处理英国所面临的经济和政治挑战。
My constitutional duty is to make sure that a government can be formed following last Thursday’s general election。
我的宪法责任是确保在上周四的大选后英国能够组建一个政府。
I have informed the Queen’s private secretary that it’s my intention to tender my resignation to the Queen。
我已告知女王的私人秘书,我想向她提交辞呈。
In the event that the Queen accepts, I shall advise her to invite the leader of the opposition to form a government.I wish the next prime minister well as he makes the important choices for the future。如果女王接受我的辞呈,我将建议她邀请反对党领导人组建政府。我祝未来首相好运,因为他将为未来作出重要的选择。
Only those who have held the office of prime minister can understand the full weight of its
responsibilities and its great capacity for good.I have been privileged to learn much about the very best in human nature, and a fair amount too about its frailties, including my own。
只有那些曾担任过首相职务的人士才可以理解这一职务的责任是多么地重大,能够做多少好事。我有幸在担任这一职务时最真切地了解人的本性,也很大程度上了解了人的脆弱性,也包括我自己人性的脆弱。
Above all, it was a privilege to serve.And, yes, I loved the job, not for its prestige, its title and its ceremony, which I do not love at all.No, I loved thisjob for its potential, to make this country I love fairer, more tolerant, more green, more democratic, more prosperous and more just – truly a greater Britain。
首先,为国民服务是我的荣幸。是的,我爱这份工作,不是因为它所带来的特权、头衔、仪式,我根本不爱这些。不,我爱这份工作是因为它的潜力,使我所爱的国家更为公平、更宽容、更民主、更繁荣、更为正义,使其真的成为一个更为伟大的英国。
In the face of many challenges in a few short years, challenges up to and including the global financial meltdown, I have always strived to serve, to do my best in the interests of Britain, its values and its people。
最近几年在面临许多挑战,包括全球金融危机在内的挑战时,我总是努力地为国家服务,为了英国的利益、它的价值和它的人民尽我所能。
And let me add one thing also。
请让我补充说明一件事。
I will always admire the courage I have seen in our armed forces.And now that the political season is over, let me stress that having shaken their hands and looked into their eyes, our troops represent all that is best in our country, and I will never forget all those who have died in honour and whose families today live in grief。
我将永远仰慕我在英国军人身上所看到的勇气。现在竞选活动已经结束,我想强调的是,在和他们握手,直视他们的眼睛后,我理解我们的士兵代表着这个国家最好的东西。我永远不会忘记所有那些光荣牺牲的士兵和今天仍生活在悲痛中的他们的家人。
My resignation as leader of the Labour party will take effect immediately.In this hour I want to thank all my colleagues, ministers, members of parliament.And I want to thank above all my staff who have been friends as well as brilliant servants of the country。
我辞去工党领袖的决定将立刻生效。在这一时刻,我想感谢所有我的同事、大臣们、议员们。我特别想感谢我的所有工作人员,他们一直是我的朋友,是国家优秀的公仆。
Above all, I want to thank Sarah for her unwavering support, as well as her love, and for her own service to our country。
我特别想感谢萨拉,谢谢她的坚定支持、她的爱、以及她对我们国家所作的事情。
I thank my sons John and Fraser for the love and joy they bring to our lives。
我感谢我的两个儿子约翰和弗拉塞尔,感谢他们的爱和他们给我们生活所带来的快乐。
And as I leave the second most important job I could ever hold, I cherish even more the first, as a husband and father。
在我将离任我生命中第二最重要的工作时,我更加珍视我的第一重要的工作,那就是作为一名丈夫和父亲。Thank you and goodbye。谢谢,再见。
