第1篇 英國(guó)副首相克萊格2022年國(guó)際婦女節(jié)英語演講稿
throughout my life, i’ve been inspired by the courage, success and determination of somany women - friends, family and colleagues.
international women’s day is a chance for all of us to shout loudly and together in supportof greater equality, wherever it’s needed. and, since 2022, the coalition has been focused onmaking britain a fairer society: where everyone – no matter what their gender, background orcircumstances, can succeed.
this includes introducing shared parental leave. so, from april ne_t year, mothers who wantto return to work early after having a baby can and their partners will be able to use theirremaining leave and pay. we’re improving access to affordable, high-quality childcare to helpthose families most feeling the squeeze.
and we’re also changing the pension system so that it is fairer for women, and haveintroduced a ta_ cut that’s helping put money back in the pockets of millions of women. inaddition, we’re working to get more women into the boardroom, and encouraging all thosefemale entrepreneurs with a good idea to start their own companies.
more widely, we are working across the world to ensure more women and girls have greaterchoice and control over their own lives. we’re helping to get more young girls into school,fighting to banish horrific practices such as female genital mutilation and working to improvewomen’s access to justice.
i’m determined to keep going further - both in my own party and in government.
that’s my commitment for this international women’s day and beyond. together, we canmake a difference – locally, nationally and globally – ensuring everyone has an equal shot at thehappy, healthy and successful life that they want.
第2篇 英國(guó)副首相克萊格2022年猶太教逾越節(jié)英語演講稿
i want to wish jewish communities, within britain and around the world, a happy and peaceful passover.
this is a time when families and friends gather round the seder table to remember thestruggles of the jewish people to secure their freedom. every year, they tell this story to theirchildren so it is never forgotten.
and what this ancient journey shows us is the enduring power of people to overcome eventhe greatest of adversity and build a better future together. and, during this celebration, we’rereminded of all those people still suffering oppression, because of their religious beliefs, raceor creed.
that cannot be right and passover is a chance for all of us to commit ourselves again to helpingthose – of all faiths and none – who face persecution around the world.
it’s also an opportunity for us to recognise the contribution britain’s jewish communitiesmake to every area of our society.
thank you and chag sameach.
第3篇 英國(guó)首相卡梅倫在2022英國(guó)保守黨年會(huì)英語演講稿
this week in manchester we’veshown this party is on the side of hardworking people.
helping young people buy theirown home.
getting the long-term unemployedback to work.
freezing fuel duty.
backing marriage.
cutting the deficit.
creating jobs.
creating wealth.
make no mistake: it is this partywith the verve, energy and ideas to take our countryforward…
…and i want to thank everyonehere for the great week we’ve had.
when we came to office, we faceda clear and daunting task: to turn our country around.
in may 2022, the needle on thegauge was at crisis point.
people were talking about ourcountry in a way they had not done for decades.
but three and a half years later,we are beginning to turn the corner.
the deficit is falling.
our economy is growing.
the numbers of our fellowcountrymen and women in work are rising.
we are not there yet, not by along way.
but, my friends, we are on ourway.
i want to thank the people whohave done the most to get us this far.
you. the british people.
never giving up. working thosee_tra hours. coping with those necessary cuts.
you. british business. you keptpeople on in the hard times. invested before you knew forcertain that thingswere getting better.
together – we are clearing up themess that labour left.
but i have a simple question, tothe people in this hall and beyond it.
is that enough?
is it enough that we just clearup labour’s mess and think ‘job done’?
is it enough to just fi_ whatwent wrong?
i say – no. not for me.
this isn’t job done; it is jobbegun.
i didn’t come into politics justto fi_ what went wrong, but to build something right.
we in this party – we don’t dreamof deficits and decimal points and dry fiscal plans
…our dreams are about helpingpeople get on in life…
…aspiration, opportunity…
…these are our words, our dreams.
so today i want to talk about ourone, abiding mission…
…i believe it is the greatconservative mission…
… that as our economy starts torecover…
…we build a land of opportunityin our country today.
now, i know, it’ll be tough.
but i know we’ve got what ittakes in this party.
some people say “can’t be done” –conservatives say “what’s to stop us?”
they said we couldn’t getterrorists out of our own country.
well – theresa knew otherwise...
...and that’s why abu qatada hadhis very own may day this year...
…didn’t it feel good seeing himget on that plane?
some people said the nhs wasn’tsafe in our hands.
well – we knew otherwise.
who protected spending on thenhs? not labour – us.
who started the cancer drugsfund? not labour – us.
and by the way – who presidedover mid staffs…
…patients left for so longwithout water, they were drinking out of dirty vases...
...people’s grandparents lyingfilthy and unwashed for days.
who allowed that to happen? yes,it was labour...
...and don’t you dare lectureanyone on the nhs again.
and some people say a lot ofthings on europe.
you’ll never be able to veto aneu treaty.
you’ll never cut the budget.
and if you did these things–you’d have no allies in europe.
well we’ve proved them wrong.
i vetoed that treaty…
…i got britain out of the eubail-out scheme…
…and yes – i cut that budget.
and in doing all this, we haven’tlost respect – we’ve won allies to get powers back fromeurope.
that is what we will do...
...and at the end of it – yes –we will give the british people their say in a referendum.
that is our pledge. it will beyour choice: in or out.
britain in the world
and friends, you know whatsomeone said about us recently?
apparently some russian officialsaid: britain is “just a small island that no-one pays anyattention to.”
really?
let me just get this off mychest.
when the world wanted rights, whowrote magna carta?
when they wanted representation,who built the first parliament?
when they looked for compassion,who led the abolition of slavery?
when they searched for equality,who gave women the vote?
when their freedom was in peril,who offered blood, toil, tears and sweat?
and today – whose music do theydance to?
whose universities do they flockto?
whose football league do theywatch?
whose e_ample of tolerance…
…of people living together fromevery nation, every religion, young and old, straight andgay…
…whose e_ample do they aspire to?
i haven’t even got on to the factthat this small island beat russia in the olympics lastyear…
…or that the biggest-sellingvodka brand in the world isn’t russian, it’s british – smirnoff –made in fife…
...so yes, we may be a smallisland…
…but i tell you what, we’re agreat country.
but i want to make a seriouspoint about our place in the world.
following that vote on syria inthe house of commons, some people said it was time forbritain to re-think ourrole.
i’m sorry – but i don’t agree.
if we shrunk from the world wewould be less safe and less prosperous.
the role we play, theorganisations we belong to...
... and yes – the fact ourdefence budget remains the 4th largest in the world...
...all this is not about nationalvanity – it’s about our national interest.
when british citizens –ourfathers, mothers, daughters– are in danger...
...whether that’s in the desertsof algeria or the city of nairobi…
…then combatting internationalterrorism – it matters to us.
when five of the world’s fastestgrowing economies are african…
…then trading with africa – andyes helping africa to develop with aid – that matters to us.
and at the heart of all this work– the finest foreign secretary i could ask for: williamhague.
around the world, we really domatter as a united kingdom…
…england, wales, northern irelandand scotland.
the date of the referendum hasbeen set. the decision is for scotland to make.
all the arguments about oureconomy, jobs, currency – i believe they make an unanswerablecase for the uk.
but today i want a more simplemessage to go out to all the people of scotland.
from us here in this hall, fromme, from this party, from this country, from england, wales,northern ireland…
…and it’s this:
we want you to stay.
we want to stick together.
think of all we’ve achievedtogether – the things we can do together.
the nations – as one.
our kingdom – united.
for 12 years now, men and womenfrom all parts of these islands have been serving theircountry in afghanistan.
ne_t year, the last of our combattroops will be coming home...
...having trained up the afghansto look after their own country.
more than a decade of war.
sacrifice beyond measure – fromthe finest and bravest armed forces in the world.
and i want us to stand, to raisethe roof in here, to show just how proud of those men andwomen we are.
thatcher
we in this room are a team.
and this year, we said goodbye toone of our team.
margaret thatcher made ourcountry stand tall again, at home and abroad.
rescuing our economy. givingpower to our people. spreading home ownership. creatingwork. winning the coldwar. saving the falklands.
i asked her about her recordonce.
i was sitting ne_t to her at adinner – and i was really nervous.
as ever she was totally charming,she put me at ease...
...but after a while i said:“margaret, if you had your time in government again, is thereanything you’d dodifferently?”
and she turned to me and said:“you know, i think i did pretty well the first time around.”
well we can all agree with that –and we can all agree on this...
...she was the greatestpeace-time prime minister our country has ever had.
labour’s mess
margaret thatcher had an almightymess to clear up when she came to office…
…and so did we.
we will never forget what wefound.
the biggest budget deficit in ourpeace-time history.
the deepest recession since thesecond world war.
but it wasn’t just the debt anddeficit labour left…
…it was who got hurt.
millions coming here fromoverseas while millions of british people were left on welfare.
the richest paying lower ta_rates than their cleaners.
unsustainable, debt-fuelled banksbooming – while manufacturing withered away.
the north falling further behind.
towns where a quarter of peoplelived on benefits.
schools where 8 out of 10children didn’t get five decent gcses.
yes, they were famously“intensely rela_ed” about people getting filthy rich…
...but tragically, they were also“intensely rela_ed” about people staying stuck on welfareyear after year...
…“intensely rela_ed” aboutchildren leaving school without proper qualifications so theycouldn’t hope toget a job at the end of it.
that was it.
that was what they left.
the casino economy meets thewelfare society meets the broken education system...
…a country for the few built bythe so-called party of the many…
…and labour: we will never letyou forget it.
our mission
these past few years have been areal struggle.
but what people want to know nowis: was the struggle worth it?
and here’s the honest answer.
the struggle will only be worthit if we as a country finish the job we’ve started.
finishing the job meansunderstanding this.
our economy may be turning thecorner – and of course that’s great.
but we still haven’t finishedpaying for labour’s debt crisis.
if anyone thinks that’s over,done, dealt with - they’re living in a fantasy land.
this country’s debt crisis,created by labour, is not over.
after three years of cuts, westill have one of the biggest deficits in the world.
we are still spending more thanwe earn.
we still need to earn more andyes, our government still needs to spend less.
i see that labour have stoppedtalking about the debt crisis and now they talk about thecost of livingcrisis.
as if one wasn’t directly relatedto the other.
if you want to know what happensif you don’t deal with a debt crisis...
...and how it affects the cost ofliving...
...just go and ask the greeks.
so finishing the job meanssticking to our course until we’ve paid off all of labour’s deficit,not justsome of it.
and yes – let’s run a surplus sothat this time we fi_ the roof when the sun is shining...
...as george said in thatbrilliant speech on monday.
to abandon deficit reduction nowwould throw away all the progress we’ve made.
it would put us back to squareone.
unbelievably, that’s e_actly whatlabour now want to do.
how did they get us into thismess?
too much spending, too muchborrowing, too much debt.
and what did they propose lastweek?
more spending, more borrowing,more debt.
they have learned nothing –literally nothing – from the crisis they created.
but finishing the job is aboutmore than clearing up the mess we were left.
it means building somethingbetter in its place.
in place of the casino economy,one where people who work hard can actually get on.
in place of the welfare society,one where no individual is written off.
in place of the broken educationsystem, one that gives every child the chance to rise up andsucceed.
our economy, our society,welfare, schools…
...all reformed, all rebuilt -with one aim, one mission in mind:
to make this country, at longlast and for the first time ever, a land of opportunity for all.
for all.
so it makes no difference whetheryou live in the north or in the south, whether you’re blackor you’re white, aman or a woman, the school you went to, the background you have, whoyourparents were…
...what matters is the effort youput in, and if you put the effort in you’ll have the chance tomake it.
that’s what the land ofopportunity means.
that’s what finishing the jobmeans.
of course i know that others in politicsmay talk about these things.
but wishing for something, caringabout something - that’s not enough.
you can’t conjure up a dynamiceconomy, a strong society, fantastic schools all with thestroke of aminister’s pen.
it takes a mi_ture of hard work,common sense and – above all – the right values.
when the left say: you can’te_pect too much from the poorest kids; don’t ask too muchfrom people onwelfare; business is the problem, not the solution…
…here in this party we say:that’s just wrong.
if you e_pect nothing of peoplethat does nothing for them.
yes, you must help people – butyou help people by putting up ladders that they can climbthrough their ownefforts.
you don’t help children succeedby dumbing down education…
...you help them by pushing themhard.
good education is not aboutequality of outcomes but bringing the best out of every singlechild.
you don’t help people by leavingthem stuck on welfare…
...but by helping them stand ontheir own two feet.
why? because the best way out ofpoverty is work – and the dignity that brings.
we know that profit, wealthcreation, ta_ cuts, enterprise...
...these are not dirty, elitistwords – they’re not the problem...
...they really are the solutionbecause it’s not government that creates jobs, it’s businesses…
…it’s businesses that get wagesin people’s pockets, food on their tables, hope for theirfamilies and successfor our country.
there is no shortcut to a land ofopportunity. no quick fi_. no easy way to do it.
you build it business by business,school by school, person by person…
...patiently,practically, painstakingl
第4篇 英國(guó)副首相克萊格2022年世界艾滋病日英語演講稿
today, i’m wearing my red ribbon with pride for world aids day. in the last thirty years, since the first cases of hiv were discovered, we’ve travelled a huge distance in terms of research and treatment. not least because advances in medication now mean that, if diagnosed and treated early enough, people living with hiv can live just as long as people without it.
in the uk we’re committed to tackling the global impacts of this disease – the ambition hasto be a future with zero new infections and aids-related deaths. that’s why last year weinvested £1 billion in the global fund to fight aids, tb and malaria. this money is helpinghundreds of thousands of people around the world get lifesaving treatment.
but, of course, there is still a long way to go. and while the science has moved on, too manypeople’s attitudes have not. one in three people living with hiv say that they havee_perienced discrimination, because of their condition. that’s simply unacceptable. so, thisworld aids day, please visit hivaware.org.uk to get the facts about hiv and tell the people youknow.
it’s critical that people have the right information, and that the ne_t generation – throughgood se_ education – understand the facts. together, by wearing your red ribbon and tweetingyour support using the hashtag put a ribbon on it, we can help break down the stigma thatstill surrounds this condition and show that there’s just no place for this kind of discriminationin modern britain. so please get involved.
today, let’s all do our bit.
第5篇 英國(guó)首相卡梅倫在聯(lián)合國(guó)氣候峰會(huì)英語演講稿
climate change is one of the most serious threats facing our world. and it is not just a threat to the environment. it is also a threat to our national security, to global security, to poverty eradication and to economic prosperity.
and we must agree a global deal in paris ne_t year. we simply cannot put this off any longer.
and i pay tribute to secretary general ban for bringing everyone together here today and forputting real focus on this issue.
now my country, the united kingdom, is playing its part.
in fact, it was margaret thatcher who was one of the first world leaders to demand action onclimate change, right here at the united nations 25 years ago.
now since then, the uk has cut greenhouse gas emissions by one quarter. we have createdthe world’s first climate change act. and as prime minister, i pledged that the government ilead would be the greenest government ever. and i believe we’ve kept that promise.
we’ve more than doubled our capacity in renewable electricity in the last 4 years alone. wenow have enough solar to power almost a million uk homes. we have the world’s leadingfinancial centre in carbon trading. and we have established the world’s first green investmentbank. we’ve invested £1 billion in carbon capture and storage. and we’ve said no to any newcoal without carbon capture and storage. we are investing in all forms of lower carbon energyincluding shale gas and nuclear, with the first new nuclear plant coming on stream for ageneration.
now, as a result of all that we are doing, we are on track to cut emissions by 80 per cent by2050. and we are playing our role internationally as well, providing nearly £4 billion of climatefinance over 5 years as part of our commitment to spend 0.7 per cent of our gross nationalincome on aid. and we are one of the only countries in the advanced world to do that and tomeet our promises.
we now need the whole world though to step up to deliver a new, ambitious, global dealwhich keeps the 2 degree goal within reach. i’ll be pushing european union leaders to come toparis with an offer to cut emissions by at least 40 per cent by 2030.
we know from copenhagen that we are not just going to turn up in paris and reach a deal. weneed to work hard now to raise the level of ambition and to work through the difficult issues.to achieve a deal we need all countries, all countries to make commitments to reduceemissions. our agreement has to be legally binding, with proper rules and targets to hold eachother to account.
we must provide support to those who need it, particularly the poorest and most vulnerable.it is completely unrealistic to e_pect developing countries to forgo the high carbon route togrowth that so many western countries enjoyed, unless we support them to achieve greengrowth. now, if we get this right there need not be a trade-off between economic growth andreducing carbon emissions.
we need to give business the certainty it needs to invest in low carbon. that means fightingagainst the economically and environmentally perverse fossil fuel subsidies which distort freemarkets and rip off ta_payers. it means championing green free trade, slashing tariffs on thingslike solar panels. and it means giving business the fle_ibility to pick the right technologies fortheir needs.
in short we need a framework built on green growth not green tape.
as political leaders we have a duty to think long-term. when offered clear scientific advice, weshould listen to it. when faced with risks, we should insure against them. and when presentedwith an opportunity to safeguard the long-term future of our planet and our people, weshould seize it.
so i would implore everyone to seize this opportunity over the coming year. countries likethe united kingdom have taken the steps necessary. we’ve legislated. we’ve acted. we’veinvested. and i urge other countries to take the steps that they need to as well so we can reachthis historic deal.
thank you.

…to stick to the long-term plan that is turning our country around.
那就是堅(jiān)持長(zhǎng)期計(jì)劃,讓英國(guó)走出經(jīng)濟(jì)低谷。
when we came to office, our economy was on its knees.
曾經(jīng)在我上臺(tái)的時(shí)候,我國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)幾乎處于癱瘓狀態(tài)。
three and a half years later, we are turning a corner.
三年半之后的今天,我們正處在一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)。
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.
企業(yè)拓展著新的業(yè)務(wù),人們逐漸都找到體面的工作,生產(chǎn)英國(guó)產(chǎn)品的工廠恢復(fù)其世界市場(chǎng)的銷售,這些都能夠讓我們看到經(jīng)濟(jì)轉(zhuǎn)折的趨勢(shì)。

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.
小型企業(yè)的運(yùn)營(yíng)者是我們的國(guó)民英雄,是我國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)的支柱。在小型企業(yè)運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的每一步驟,我們都會(huì)給予大力支持。
we are going to keep on with our vital work on welfare and immigration too.

so this is a vital year for our economy.

第7篇 英國(guó)首相卡梅倫2022年錫克教豐收節(jié)英語演講稿
i send my best wishes to everyone in india, britain and around the world celebrating vaisakhi.
i know this is an incredibly important time for the sikh community as families and friendscome together to commemorate the birth of the khalsa and give thanks. from southall tosunderland, from ottawa to amritsar, sikhs around the world will be marking vaisakhi withvibrant parades and celebrations with homes, gurdwaras and entire neighbourhoods burstinginto life with decorations and colour.
vaisakhi also gives us a chance to celebrate the immense contribution of british sikhs, whohave enriched our country for over 160 years. whether it is in the fields of enterprise orbusiness, education, public service or civil society, britain’s sikhs are a success story and modelcommunity.
and i see this contribution every day, all around. like at the magnificent gurdwara sahibleamington, where i saw for myself the values of sikhism – of compassion, peace and equality– in practice. and across the country i see how sikh and asian businessmen and women areboosting the economy by creating jobs and opportunities. but this contribution is not just arecent thing it goes back many, many years and was never more starkly demonstrated than 100years ago during the first world war.
just last month we commemorated the indian soldiers, many of whom were sikh, who foughtbravely alongside the allies in the battle of neuve chapelle in northern france. i pay tribute tothose men who travelled far from home and who fought and died with their comrades in thefight for freedom. we will never let their sacrifice be forgotten.
so at this important time, let us commemorate the birth of a great religion, let us give thanksfor everything the sikh community does for britain and let us celebrate the successful multi-ethnic, multi-faith democracy country that we are.
so wherever you are, i wish you all a very happy and peaceful vaisakhi.
第8篇 英國(guó)副首相克萊格2022年復(fù)活節(jié)英語演講稿
as one of the most significant christian festivals, easter is a time of reflection and renewal. what it celebrates is the moving and powerful story of jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection.
as the poet spenser wrote, “love is the lesson which the lord us taught.”
and the values that jesus lived his life by – compassion, humility and forgiveness – resonatewith people of all faiths and none.
it’s why so many people, both christian and not, use the weeks before easter – the forty daysof lent – to take stock of what is truly important to them and their families. whether that isthrough giving their time to volunteer or going without something in their own lives to helpthose most in need. it all makes a difference.
easter is also a time that many people spend with their families, rela_ing and enjoying thebreak in their different ways.
so, whatever you’re up to this weekend, i hope you have a very happy easter.
第9篇 卡梅倫首相府發(fā)表的勝選英語演講稿
i’ve just been to see her majesty the queen, and i will now form a majority conservative government.
i’ve been proud to lead the first coalition government in 70 years, and i want to thank all thosewho worked so hard to make it a success; and in particular, on this day, nick clegg. electionscan be bruising clashes of ideas and arguments, and a lot of people who believe profoundly inpublic service have seen that service cut short. ed miliband rang me this morning to wish meluck with the new government; it was a typically generous gesture from someone who isclearly in public service for all the right reasons.
the government i led did important work: it laid the foundations for a better future, and nowwe must build on them. i truly believe we’re on the brink of something special in our country;we can make britain a place where a good life is in reach for everyone who is willing to workand do the right thing. our manifesto is a manifesto for working people, and as a majoritygovernment we will be able to deliver all of it; indeed, it is the reason why i think majoritygovernment is more accountable.
three million apprenticeships; more help with childcare; helping 30 million people cope with thecost of living by cutting their ta_es; building homes that people are able to buy and own;creating millions more jobs that give people the chance of a better future. and yes, we willdeliver that in/out referendum on our future in europe.
as we conduct this vital work, we must ensure that we bring our country together. as i said inthe small hours of this morning, we will govern as a party of one nation, one united kingdom.that means ensuring this recovery reaches all parts of our country: from north to south, fromeast to west. and indeed, it means rebalancing our economy, building that “northernpowerhouse”. it means giving everyone in our country a chance, so no matter where you’re fromyou have the opportunity to make the most of your life. it means giving the poorest peoplethe chance of training, a job, and hope for the future. it means that for children who don’t getthe best start in life, there must be the nursery education and good schooling that cantransform their life chances. and of course, it means bringing together the different nations ofour united kingdom.
i have always believed in governing with respect. that’s why in the last parliament, we devolvedpower to scotland and wales, and gave the people of scotland a referendum on whether to stayinside the united kingdom. in this parliament i will stay true to my word and implement asfast as i can the devolution that all parties agreed for wales, scotland and northern ireland.
governing with respect means recognising that the different nations of our united kingdomhave their own governments, as well as the united kingdom government. both are important,and indeed with our plans, the governments of these nations will become more powerful, withwider responsibilities. in scotland, our plans are to create the strongest devolved governmentanywhere in the world with important powers over ta_ation. and no constitutional settlementwill be complete, if it did not offer, also, fairness to england.
when i stood here 5 years ago, our country was in the grip of an economic crisis. five years on,britain is so much stronger, but the real opportunities lie ahead. everything i’ve seen over thelast 5 years, and indeed, during this election campaign, has proved once again that this is acountry with unrivalled skills and creativeness; a country with such good humour, and suchgreat compassion, and i’m convinced that if we draw on all of this, then we can take theseislands, with our proud history, and build an even prouder future.
together we can make great britain greater still. thank you.
第10篇 布萊爾三次蟬聯(lián)首相職務(wù)的獲勝英語演講稿
tony blairs speech on returning to downing street
ive just come from buckingham palace where the queen has asked me to form a new government which i will do.
its a tremendous honour and privilege to be elected for a third term and im acutely conscious of that honour and that privilege.
when i stood here first eight years ago i was a lot younger but also a lot less e_perienced.
today as well as having in our minds the priorities that people want, we, i, the government, has the knowledge, as well as the determination and commitment, to deliver them.
the great thing about the election is that you go out and talk to people for week upon week.
and ive listened and ive learned, and i think ive a very clear idea what the people now e_pect from the government in a third term.
and i want to say to them very directly that i, we, the government, are going to focus relentlessly now on the priorities that people have set for us.
what are those priorities? first they like the strong economy, but life is still a real struggle for many people and many families in this country and they know there are new issues: help for first time buyers to get their feet on the first rungs of the housing ladder; families trying to cope with balancing work and family life; many people struggling to make ends meet; many families on low incomes who desperately need help and support to increase their living standards; businesses who whilst they like the economic stability, want us also to focus on stimulating enterprise on investing in science and skills and technology for the future.
its very clear what people want us to do and we will do it.
second in relation to the public services, health and education, again people like the investment that has gone into public services, they welcome it. i have found absolutely no support for any suggestion we cut back that investment.
the people want that money to work better for them, they want higher standards, both of care and of education for the investment we are putting in.
and so we will focus on delivering not just the investment but the reform and change of those public services and i will do so with passion, because i want to keep universal public services that know that the only way of keeping the consent for them is by making the changes necessary for the twenty-first century.
and third, people welcome the fact that so many more people are in work and have moved off benefit and into work, but people still know there are too many people economically inactive who should to be helped off benefit and into work.
and they also know that, whatever help we are giving todays pensioners, tomorrows pensioners are deeply concerned as to whether they will have the standard of life that they want.
people e_pect us to sort out these issues, we will do so.
and fourth, ive also learnt that the british people are a tolerant and decent people, they did not want immigration made a divisive issue in the course of the election campaign, but they do believe there are real problems in our immigration and asylum system and they e_pect us to sort them out, and we will do so.
and fifth, ive been struck again and again in the course of this campaign by people worrying that in our country today, though they like the fact we have got over the deference of the past, there is a disrespect that people dont like.
and whether its in the classroom, or on the street in town centres on a friday or saturday night, i want to focus on this issue. weve done a lot so far with anti-social orders and additional numbers of police.
but i want to make this a particular priority for this government, how we bring back a proper sense of respect in our schools, in our communities, in our towns and our villages.
and rising out of that will be a radical programme of legislation that will focus e_actly on those priorities: on education; on health; on welfare reform; on immigration; on law and order.
in addition i know that iraq has been a deeply divisive issue in this country, that has been very clear.
but i also know and believe that after this election people want to move on, they want to focus on the future in iraq and here.
and i know too that there are many other issues that concern people in the international agenda, and we will focus on those, on poverty in africa, on climate change, on making progress in israel and palestine.
so there is a very big agenda for a third-term. even if we dont have quite the same e_pectations that people had of us in 1997, we now have the e_perience and the commitment to see it through.
one final thing: ive also learnt something about the british people, that whatever the difficulties and disagreements with us, and whatever issues and challenges that confront them, their values of fairness and decency and opportunity for all, and the belief that people should be able to get on, on the basis of hard work and merit, not class and background, those values are the values i believe in, the values our government will believe in.
第11篇 英國(guó)副首相克萊格給2022年穆斯林古爾邦節(jié)英語演講稿
i want to wish eid mubarak to all muslims celebrating eid and a safe journey to those now on hajj.
i know that many of you use this special time to reflect on what’s important to you in yourlives: your family, your friends, your beliefs, your commitment to do the best you can forothers.
it’s also a time to think about sacrifice and struggle – and that is particularly poignant thissummer as we continue to see so many innocent people – muslim and non-muslim – caught upin the ongoing conflicts in syria, gaza and iraq.
it is truly heartbreaking to witness the loss that continues to take place in these parts of theworld. more than ever we need to strive for an end to the violence. we need to unite behindpeace, tolerance, compassion, generosity towards one and other – the values that are at theheart of islam and the heart of eid. today i want to reaffirm my commitment to thosevalues, my party’s commitment to those values, and i want to wish you all a loving andpeaceful eid.

第13篇 英國(guó)首相卡梅倫2022年世界艾滋病日英語演講稿
world aids day is a hugely important moment—both here in britain andaround the globe.
it’s a moment to reflect on the progress made, but it’s also areminder of how much morewe still have to do.
in recent years, there have been huge advances in treating hiv. andthat means that ifdiagnosed early enough and treated properly, someone withhiv can live as long as someonewithout it.
but too often stigma and myth prevent that from happening. people aretoo afraid to gofor tests and it isn’t caught early enough. it’s estimatedthat 20 per cent of the people in britainliving with hiv, don’t know that theyhave the condition.
we’ve got to bring that number down and get people the treatmentthey need. we’ve got tokeep on putting every effort possible into educationand awareness and what’s more we’ve gotto fight discrimination against hiveverywhere we see it.
today’s also a moment to remember our lasting commitment to thedeveloping world. theuk’s already dedicated a billion pounds to the globalfund to fight aids, tb and malaria and inthe years ahead we’ve got to showevery bit as much commitment abroad as we do at home.
this is what world aids day is all about -- renewing ourdetermination and saving lives.
on this important day let us all pledge to fight hiv and aids witheverything we’ve gotand make sure that we in this generation weren’t foundwanting.
thank you for listening.
第14篇 英國(guó)首相卡梅倫慶祝穆斯林宰牲節(jié)招待會(huì)上英語演講稿
a very warm welcome to number 10 downing street. as-salamu alaykum. it’s really great to have you here for this eid al adha commemoration. tonight i want to say something about the importance of eid; i want to say something about the enormous contribution that british muslims make to our country; and i want to say something about the work that we’re all doing as a country to help muslims around the world.
but before i say that i want to say something about what a difficult eid i know it has beenbecause of the terrible events in iraq and syria and the appalling brutality of isil. but in themidst of this brutality and the awful beheading of british hardworking good, compassionatemen like alan henning and david haines, in the midst of all that, something has emerged inour country which makes me incredibly proud. and that has been the response of britishmuslims who have stood up and stood together and said: “these appalling events are notbeing done in my name.” and i felt so proud of british muslims in everything that you have saidand everything that you have done. and let us say again tonight that these people in iraq andsyria doing these appalling things, they have nothing to do with the great religion of islam, areligion of peace, a religion that inspires daily acts of kindness and generosity.
and that leads me to what i wanted to say about eid. because i’m not a scholar of any religionbut what i love about eid is it demonstrates how close together our religions are. because ofcourse we’re thinking of sacrifice, and we’re thinking of compassion. we’re thinking of themoment that abraham showed his readiness to sacrifice to god because he was prepared togive up his son. but god said, “no, you must take a lamb instead.”
this is the same in my bible as it is in your quran. but what i love with what you have donewith the festival of eid is that you’ve taken it one stage further and said that that lamb shouldbe sacrificed in 3 ways: for family, for friends and neighbours, and then a third for those thatare neediest in our society and in our country. and i think that lesson of sacrifice andcompassion that i understand at the heart of eid is so important and something that shouldbring all our religions and our communities together.
the second thing i wanted to say is just about the contribution that british muslims make inour country. i’ve spoken about the e_traordinary outpouring there’s been about theseappalling events in syria and iraq, but we shouldn’t be surprised about that because britishmuslim communities are immensely proud of being british and they give an enormous amountto our country. british muslims are actually the most generous, charitable givers that thereare of any community in britain, and that’s something to be immensely proud of as well as allthe contributions to the arts, to literature, to music, to sport.
before my conference speech i met an absolutely sensational british muslim woman whonot only ran 2 superb restaurants but was also a teacher, was also a conservative councillor andwas also the mother of 5 brilliant children, all of whom i met. and that made me think aboutthe hardworking people in british muslim communities who are absolutely standing up for thevalues that make this country great: values of enterprise, values of family, values ofcommunity, values of hard work. and that is what we’re celebrating tonight.
third and final thing is just to say a word about what we’re doing as a country to help muslimswho are suffering around the world. and i think perhaps we don’t say enough about this, and ithink perhaps we need to say more in all our communities to demonstrate to people who carepassionately about the suffering people go through about what a generous andcompassionate nation this is. we see these appalling problems in syria with so manyrefugees and so many people suffering. britain is the second largest bilateral donor of anycountry in the world. we’re always the first to step up and step forward, and we should beproud of that.
i’ve just been chairing a meeting today about how we respond to the appalling crisis of ebolain west africa, where muslims and christians are suffering alongside each other with thisappalling affliction. of course america has taken some great steps but britain again is thesecond country in the world, spending £125 million to help people in west africa. we’resending ships. we’re sending helicopters. we’re sending doctors. we’re building 700 beds tohelp those people. if you look at who funds the palestinian authority, again, britain is one ofthe most generous donors, not just to help with aid but also to help with governance and withe_pertise so that palestine can have the statehood that it so richly deserves.
so in all these areas we should celebrate what we do, what british muslims do but what ourwhole country does for those who suffer around the world. we made a promise to the people ofthe world, the poorest of the world, that we would spend 0.7% of our gdp on aid anddevelopment, and we’re one of the few countries in the world that has kept that promise. andthat is helping muslims all over the world, whether in syria, whether in africa, whether in eastasia, all over the world. and i think we should be proud of that.
so, thank you for coming tonight. thank you for your contribution to our country. i hope thatwith all the difficulties of eid we should celebrate the enormous number of people who’vemade the pilgrimage to the holy city. and so it only remains for me to say eid mubarak.thank you.
第15篇 英國(guó)首相卡梅倫2022年開齋節(jié)英語演講稿
this ramadan, we've seen the very best of british muslim values. we've seen unprecedented charity – zakat – with thousands upon thousands of pounds raised for the needy. we've seen community spirit, with inventive ways of breaking the fast with people of all faiths and none, from the scouts' open-air iftar in birmingham, to the iftar on the thames in london, from events in synagogues and churches, to community centres, homes, even tents.
many iftars have been held to commemorate the srebrenica genocide, 20 years after 8,000men and boys were massacred. britain is home to the largest commemorations outside bosnia.the srebrenica memorial day initiative was launched by this government, and on thisanniversary we've pledged to continue teaching the lessons of that atrocity, far into the future.
after some of the longest days of the year, and some of the hottest days we've had for a longtime, ramadan this year hasn't been easy. but we think about what life is like right now forpeople across the world, for those in syria and iraq – families like ours – suffering at the handsof isil and assad. we think of all the victims of terrorism during this time, of the familiesattacked in their homes in kobane, the worshippers killed as they prayed in kuwait, and theholidaymakers in tunisia murdered on the beach, and i know that mosques across britain havededicated friday sermons to remembering the victims. this terrorism is not just an assault onthose victims. it's not just an assault on islam, whose good name it perverts. it's an assaulton us all, on our way of life, and we must defeat it.
so as families and friends come together this eid, to share food and presents, to think of others,to mark the end of ramadan, let's think about the better britain and the better world we mustbuild together.
once again, let me wish you a happy and peaceful eid. eid mubarak.
