Churchill’s Speech丘吉尔的演讲
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most
grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering. You ask, what is
our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs - Victory in spite of all terrors
- Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.
我所能奉献的没有其他,只有热血,辛劳,眼泪和汗水。我们所面临的将是一场极为残酷的考验,
我们面临的将是旷日持久的斗争和苦难。你若问我们的目标是什么?我可以用一个词来概括,那就
是胜利,不惜一切代价去夺取胜利,不畏惧一切恐怖去夺取胜利。不论前路再长再苦也要夺取胜利
,因为没有胜利就无法生存。
Let that be realized. No survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire
has stood for, no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall move forward
toward his goal.
我们务必认识到,没有胜利就不复有大英帝国,没有胜利就不复有大英帝国所象征的一切,没有胜
利就不复有多少世纪以来的强烈要求和冲动:人类应当向自己的目标迈进。
I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail
among men. I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, "Come
then, let us go forward together with our united strength."
我精神振奋、满怀信心地承担起我的任务。我确信,大家联合起来,我们的事业就不会遭到挫败。
在此时此刻的危急关头,我觉得我有权要求各方面的支持。我要说:“来吧,让我们群策群力,并肩
前进!”
