15. Winston Churchill's Speech
15. 丘吉爾演講稿
I now invite the House by a resolution to record its approval of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new government.
現在我請求國會做出決議，批準我所采取的各項步驟，啟示記錄在案，并且聲明信任新政府。
The new resolution:
決議如下：
"That this House welcomes the formation of a government representing the united
本國會歡迎新政府的組成，她體現了舉國一致的堅定不移的決心：
and inflexible resolve of the nation to prosecute the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion."
對德作戰，直到最后勝利。
To form an administration of this scale and complexity is a serious undertaking in itself.
組織如此規模和如此復雜的政府原本是一項重大的任務。
But we are in the preliminary Phase of one of the greatest battles in history.
但是我們正處于歷史上罕見的一場大戰的初始階段。
We are in action at any other points-in Norway and in Holland-and we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean.
我們在其他許多地點作戰—在挪威，在荷蘭，我們還必須在地中海做好準備。
The air battle is continuing, and many preparations have to be made here at home.
空戰正在繼續，而且在本土也必須做好許多準備工作。
In this crisis I think I may be pardoned if I do not address the House at any length today,
值此危急關頭，我想，即使我今天向國會的報告過于簡略，也當能見諒。
and I hope that any of my friends and colleagues or for men colleagues
我還希望所有在這次改紐中受到影響的朋友、
who are affected by the political reconstruction will make all allowances for any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act.
同僚和舊日的同僚們對必要的禮儀方面的任何不周之處能毫不介意。
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.
我向國會表明，一如我向入閣的大臣們所表明的，我所能奉獻的惟有熱血、辛勞、眼淚和汗水。
