丘吉尔二战著名演讲：热血、汗水和眼泪
1940年5月8日，由于前首相张伯伦遭到不信任质疑动议，
被迫辞职。5月10日下午6
时，国王召见丘吉尔，令其组阁；一小时后丘吉尔会见工党领袖艾德礼，邀请工党加入内阁并获得支持。3
天后丘吉尔首次以首相身份出席下议院会议，发表了著名的讲话：“
我没有别的，只有热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水献给大家……
你们问：我们的目的是什么？我可以用一个词来答复：胜利，
不惜一切代价去争取胜利，无论多么恐怖也要争取胜利，无论道路多么遥远艰难，
也要争取胜利，因为没有胜利就无法生存。”下议院最终以381票对0
票的绝对优势表明了对丘吉尔政府的支持。
演讲全文：
On Friday evening last I received from His Majesty the
mission to form a new administration. 上星期五晚上，我奉陛下之命，组织新的一届政府。
It was the evident will of Parliament and the nation that this
should be conceived on the broadest possible basis and that
it should include all parties. 按国会和国民的意愿，
新政府显然应该考虑建立在尽可能广泛的基础上，应该兼容所有的党派。
I have already completed the most important part of this
task. A war cabinet has been formed of five members,
representing, with the Labor, Opposition and Liberals, the
unity of the nation. 我已经完成了这项任务的最主要的部分。战时内阁已由五人组成，
包括工党、反对党和自由党，这体现了举国团结一致。
It was necessary that this should be done in one single day
on account of the extreme urgency and rigor of events.
Other key positions were filled yesterday. I am submitting a
further list to the King tonight. I hope to complete the
appointment of principal Ministers during tomorrow. 由于事态的极端紧急和严峻，新阁政府须于一天之内组成，
其他的关键岗位也于昨日安排就绪。今晚还要向国王呈报一份名单。
我希望明天就能完成几位主要大臣的任命。
The appointment of other Ministers usually takes a little
longer. I trust when Parliament meets again this part of my
task will be completed and that the administration will be
complete in all respects.
其余大臣们的任命照例得晚一些。我相信，在国会下一次召开时，任命将告完成，臻于完善。
I considered it in the public interest to suggest to the
Speaker that the House should be summoned today. At the
end of today''s proceedings, the adjournment of the House
will be proposed until May 2l with provision for earlier
meeting if need be. Business for that will be notified to M. P.
''s at the earliest opportunity.
为公众利益着想，我建议议长今天就召开国会。今天的议程结束时，建议休会到5月21 日，并准备在必要时提前开会。有关事项当会及早通知各位议员。
I now invite the House by a resolution to record its approval
of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new
government. The resolution: 现在我请求国会作出决议，批准我所采取的各项步骤，
启示记录在案，并且声明信任新政府。决议如下：
"That this House welcomes the formation of a government
representing the united and inflexible resolve of the nation
to prosecute the war with Germany to a victorious
conclusion." “
本国会欢迎新政府的组成，她体现了举国一致的坚定不移的决心：对德作战，直到最后胜利。”To form an administration of this scale and complexity is a
serious undertaking in itself. But we are in the preliminary
Phase of one of the greatest battles in history. We are in
action at any other points-in Norway and in Holland-and we
have to be prepared in the Mediterranean. The air battle is
continuing, and many preparations have to be made here at
home. 组织如此规模和如此复杂的政府原本是一项重大的任务。
但是我们正
处于历史上罕见的一场大战的初始阶段。我们在其他许多地点作战——在挪威，在荷兰，我们还必须在地中海做好准备。
空战正在继续，而且在本土也必须做好许多准备工作。
In this crisis I think I may be pardoned if I do not address
the House at any length today, and I hope that any of my
friends and colleagues or for mer colleagues who are
affected by the political reconstruction will make all
allowances for any lack of ceremony with which it has been
necessary to act.
值此危急关头，我想，即使我今天向国会的报告过于简略，也当能见谅。我还希望所有在这次改组中受到影响的朋友、
同僚和旧日的同僚们对必要的礼仪方面的任何不周之处能毫不介意。
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. We have before us an ordeal of the most
grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of
struggle and suffering. 我向国会表明，一如我向入阁的大臣们所表明的，
我所能奉献的唯有
热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水我们所面临的将是一场极其严酷的考验，将是旷日持久的斗争和苦难。
You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land,
sea and air. War with all our might and with all the strength
God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous
tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable
catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.
若问我们的政策是什么？我的回答是：在陆上、海上、空中作战。尽
我们的全力，尽上帝赋予我们的全部力量去作战，对人类黑暗、可悲的罪恶史上空前凶残的暴政作战。这就是我们的政策。
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. 若问我们的目标是什么？我可以用一个词来回答，那就是胜利。不惜
一切代价，去夺取胜利——不惧一切恐怖，去夺取胜利——
不论前路如何漫长、如何艰苦，去夺取胜利。因为没有胜利就不能生存。
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.
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。
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."
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！

丘吉尔二战演讲稿 by Winston Churchill, 1946 本文名句：“From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an iron curtain has descended acrothe Continent.” President McCluer, ladies and gentlemen, and last, but certainly not least, the President of the United States of America: I am very glad indeed to come to Westminster College this afternoon, and I am complimented that you should give me a degree from an institution whose reputation has been so solidly established. The name “Westminster” someh ow or other seems familiar to me. I feel as if I have heard of it before. Indeed now that I come to think of it, it was at Westminster that I received a very large part of my education in politics, dialectic, rhetoric, and one or two other things. In fact we have both been educated at the same, or similar, or, at any rate, kindred establishments. It is also an honor, ladies and gentlemen, perhaps almost unique, for a private visitor to be introduced to an academic audience by the President of the United

丘吉尔演讲稿《Blood,Toil.Tears and Sweet》，《We shall fight them on the beachers》，《Iron Curtain.Speach(铁幕演说）》，三篇演讲稿英文及其翻译。 这是丘吉尔1940年5月13日在下院发表的首相就职演讲，内容大概如下： “我所能奉贤的，只有热血和辛劳，眼泪和汗水。 你们问：我们的政策是什么？我说，我们的政策就是用上帝所给予我们的全部能力和全部力量，在海上.陆地上和空中进行战争。同一个邪恶悲惨的人类罪恶史上从为见过的穷凶极恶的暴政进行战争。 你们问：我们的目的是什么？我可以用一个词来答复：胜利————不惜一切代价去争取胜利，无论多么恐怖也要去争取胜利；无论道路多么遥远和艰难，也要去争取胜利；因为没有胜利，就不能生存。 在这个时候，我觉得我有权要求大家的支持，我说：起来，让我们联合起来，共同前进！” 热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水 （1940.5.13） 丘吉尔 星期五晚上，我接受了英王陛下的委托，组织新政府。这次组阁，应包括所有的政党，既有支持上届政府的政党，也有上届政府的反对党，显而易见，这是议会和国家的希望与意愿。我已完成了此项任务中最重要的部分。战时内阁业已成立，由5位阁员组成，其中包括反对党的自由主义者，代表了举国一致的团结。三党领袖已经同意加入战时内阁，或者担任国家高级行政职务。三军指挥机构已加以充实。由于事态发展的极端紧迫感和严重性，仅仅用一天时间完成此项任务，是完全必要的。其他许多重要职位已在昨天任命。我将在今天晚上向英王陛下呈递补充名单，并希望于明日一天完成对政府主要大臣的任命。其他一些大臣的任命，虽然通常需要更多一点的时间，但是，我相信会议再次开会时，我的这项任务将告完成，而且本届政府在各方面都将是完整无缺的。 我认为，向下院建议在今天开会是符合公众利益的。议长先生同意这个建议，并根据下院决议所授予他的权力，采取了必要的步骤。今天议程结束时，建议下院休会到5月21日星期二。当然，还要附加规定，如果需要的话，可以提前复会。下周会议所要考虑的议题，将尽早通知全体议员。现在，我请求下院，根据以我的名义提出的决议案，批推已采取的各项步骤，将它记录在案，并宣布对新政府的信任。 组成一届具有这种规模和复杂性的政府，本身就是一项严肃的任务。但是大家一定要记住，我们正处在历史上一次最伟大的战争的初期阶段，我们正在挪威和荷兰的许多地方进行战斗，我们必须在地中海地区做好准备，空战仍在继续，众多的战备工作必须在国内完成。在这危急存亡之际，如果我今天没有向下院做长篇演说，我希望能够得到你们的宽恕。我还希望，因为这次政府改组而受到影响的任何朋友和同事，或者以前的同事，会对礼节上的不周之处予以充分谅解，这种礼节上的欠缺，到目前为止是在所难免的。正如我曾对参加本届政府的成员所说的那样，我要向下院说：“我没什么可以奉献，有的．只是热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水。” 摆在我们面前的，是一场极为痛苦的严峻的考验。在我们面前，有许多许多漫长的斗争和苦难的岁月。你们问：我们的政策是什么我要说，我们的政策就是用我们全部能力，用上帝所给予我们的全部力量，在海上、陆地和空中进行战争，同一个在人类黑暗悲惨的罪恶史上所
二战中丘吉尔明知德军将轰炸考文垂为何却放任不管？ 核心提示：但丘吉尔担心的是，拯救了考文垂的同时，英军已破译德国密码“谜”这个秘密必定暴露。两者只能择其一，孰轻孰重？丘吉尔陷入了长考。最终，他掐灭雪茄站了起来：为了保护“超级机密”，必须牺牲考文垂。 本文摘自：《同舟共进》2013年07期，作者：毛剑杰，原题为：《丘吉尔的一次艰难决定——二战中的情报暗战》 考文垂悲歌 1940年11月14日傍晚7点05分，英国中部城市考文垂上空忽然响起了刺耳的防空警报。此时，英国皇家空军与纳粹空军在不列颠上空已激战整整三个月，英伦三岛上包括首都伦敦在内的许多城市，都遭到了频繁的空袭，响起防空警报并不令人意外。但奇怪的是，此前总是能早早预警空袭的英国本土防空体系，这次并未及时疏散军民及城市工业。 于是，在防空警报拉响时，考文垂的居民丝毫未能觉察即将逼近的厄运，他们依然像往常一样享受着自己的生活。5分钟后，德国“亨克尔111”轰炸机飞临城市上空，一波接一波的轰炸进行了10个小时。巨大的爆炸声中，考文垂变成了一片废墟。事后统计，在这“恐怖的鬼夜”，考文垂有5万座建筑被摧毁，5万个商店遭到破坏，600名居民丧生，其中150具尸
体因无法辨认而被葬入同一公墓……考文垂成了二战中英国遭遇轰炸最 惨烈的城市。英国首相丘吉尔得知消息后，先是呆若木鸡，之后满脸愤怒，一声不吭。但当时的人们完全没有想到，丘吉尔其实早已得知德国空袭考文垂市的计划，他反复盘算后，最终决定不采取任何防御和转移措施。 这是1940年关乎英国生死存亡的不列颠空战中，丘吉尔最为艰难的决定。 敦刻尔克的“无敌舰队” 丘吉尔是在1940年5月10日临危受命担任英国首相的。当时，德国正以闪电战突袭西欧，号称拥有欧洲最强大陆军的法国，迅速崩溃投降，英国也随时面临德国入侵，危如累卵。 虽然纳粹德国的军事扩张野心昭然若揭，但一战后的英国，一直弥漫着和平主义气氛。首相张伯伦是坚定的绥靖主义者，他一厢情愿地指望希特勒东进去攻打苏联，为此纵容德军重占莱茵兰非军事区、兼并奥地利、强占捷克苏台德区…… 只有丘吉尔等少数人一直在抨击绥靖政策，他说，希特勒将给欧洲带来灾难，他督促英国应重整军备，并鼓励盟友法国加强军事力量，指出绥靖政策为“西方民主国家向纳粹武力威胁的彻底投降。”但多数人视其警告为危言耸听。最终，祸水没能东引，德国反而率先进攻西欧，法国迅速投
丘吉尔最短演讲 丘吉尔拄着拐杖，戴着草帽，慢步走向讲台，先把草帽放在讲台，然后从左到右横扫了整个军营，说：“永不放弃！”然后又从左到右横扫了整个军营，说：“永不放弃！”当时整个军营鸦雀无声，连一根针掉在地上的声音都可以听到。然后他又从左到右横扫了一次整个军营，加大声量说：“永不放弃，永不放弃，永不放弃，永不放弃！”整个军营都兴奋起来，欢呼声和拥抱淹没了整个军营。此后英国连连打败了德国希特勒的进攻。 这就是丘吉尔最著名的演讲，世界上最震撼的演讲，同时也是世界上最短的演讲。 上星期五晚上，我接受了英王陛下的委托，组织新政府。这次组阁，应包括所有政党，既有支持上届政府的政党，也有上届政府的反对党，显而易见，这是议会和国家的希望与意愿。我已完成了此项任务中最重要的部分。战时内阁业已成立，由5位阁员组成，其中包括反对党的自由主义者，代表举国一致的团结。三党领袖已经同意加入战时内阁，或者担任国家高级行政职务。三军指挥机构已加以充实。由于事态发展的极端紧迫感和严重性，仅仅用一天时间完成此项任务，是完全必要的。其他许多重要职位在昨天任命。我将在今天晚上向英王陛下呈递补充名单，并希望于明日一天完成对政府主要大臣的任命。其他一些大臣的任命，虽然通常需

"Be Ye Men of Valour" BBC, May 19, 1940 First Broadcast as Prime Minister to the British People By May 14, the news from the front was uniformly bad. The Germans had broken through the French defences at Sedan, and everywhere the French forces were reeling under a devastating barrage from land and air. "At almost all points where the armies had come in contact," Churchill later wrote, "the weight and fury of the German attack was overwhelming." Holland fell on May 15, and Churchill flew to Paris on the same day to confer with the French leaders. It was evident that the military situation was near to catastrophic, and that the military commanders and political leaders were resigned to overwhelming defeat. Churchill agreed to send ten fighter squadrons to France, thereby imperilling the situation in England, as a desperate attempt to restore the spirits of his Ally. On May 19, the Cabinet was informed that Lord Gort was "examining a possible withdrawal towards Dunkirk." In these sombre circumstances, Churchill made this, his first broadcast as Prime Minister to the British people. --------------------------------------------------- I speak to you for the first time as Prime Minister in a solemn hour for the life of our country, of our empire, of our allies, and, above all, of the cause of Freedom. A tremendous battle is raging in France and Flanders. The Germans, by a remarkable combination of air bombing and heavily armored tanks, have broken through the French defenses north of the Maginot Line, and strong columns of their armored vehicles are ravaging the open country, which for the first day or two was without defenders. They have penetrated deeply and spread alarm and confusion in their track. Behind them there are now appearing infantry in lorries, and behind them, again, the large masses are moving forward. The re-groupment of the French armies to make head against, and also to strike at, this intruding wedge has been proceeding for several days, largely assisted by the magnificent efforts of the Royal Air Force. We must not allow ourselves to be intimidated by the presence of these armored vehicles in unexpected places behind our lines. If they are behind our Front, the French are also at many points fighting actively behind theirs. Both sides are therefore in an extremely dangerous position. And if the French Army, and our own Army, are well handled, as I believe they will be; if the French retain that genius for recovery and counter-attack for which they have so long been famous; and if the British Army shows the dogged endurance and solid fighting power of which there have been so many examples in the past -- then a sudden transformation of the scene might spring into being. It would be foolish, however, to disguise the gravity of the hour. It would be still more foolish to lose heart and courage or to suppose that well-trained, well-equipped armies numbering three or four millions of men can be overcome in the space of a few weeks, or even months, by a scoop, or raid of mechanized vehicles, however formidable.
1940年在下院发表演说 背景：1940年4、5月间，德军首先“闪击”丹表、挪威，接着入侵卢森堡、荷兰和比利时。同时，德军绕过法国自以为非常稳固的“马奇诺防线”，侵入法国境内。5月下旬，德军直逼英吉利海峡，把40多万英、法军队追逼到敦刻尔克港附近的一块三角地带。英、法动员了大批船只，经9昼夜苦战，才把近34万士兵运过海峡，撤入英国。这就是历史上有名的“敦刻尔克大撤退”。 1940年5月10日，希特勒进攻西线的消息传到伦敦，伦敦舆论大哗。张伯伦政府受到猛烈抨击，立即垮台。一贯主张对德国采取强硬路线的丘吉尔组成新政府。图为5月13日，丘吉尔在下院发表演说，表明他对英国的忠诚和把反法西斯战争进行到底的决心。 精彩段落： We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated （征服） and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet （舰队）, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old 我们将在法国作战，我们将在海上和大洋中作战，我们将具有愈来愈大的信心和愈来愈强的力量在空中作战；我们将不惜任何代价保卫我们的岛屿。我们将在海滩上作战；我们将在敌人登陆地点作战；我们将在田野和街头作战；我们将在山区作战；我们决不投降。即使整个英伦岛或大部分土地被占，我们饥寒交迫，我们所有由英国舰队武装和保护的海外帝国也将继续战斗。直到上帝认为适当的时候到了，新大陆将挺身而出，以其全部力量支援旧世界，解放旧世界！ 丘吉尔二战著名演讲：热血、汗水和眼泪 1940年5月8日，由于前首相张伯伦遭到不信任质疑动议，被迫辞职。5月10日下午6时，国王召见丘吉尔，令其组阁；一小时后丘吉尔会见工党领袖艾德礼，邀请工党加入内阁并获得支持。3 天后丘吉尔首次以首相身份出席下议院会议，
铁血泪——丘吉尔演讲词中英对照.txt10有了执著，生命旅程上的寂寞可以铺成一片蓝天；有了执著，孤单可以演绎成一排鸿雁；有了执著，欢乐可以绽放成满圆的鲜花。铁血泪BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS" (温斯顿丘吉尔的演讲) Winston Churchill (May 13, 1940 ) On Friday evening last I received from His Majesty the mission to form a new administration. It was the evident will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest possible basis and that it should include all parties. I have already completed the most important part of this task. A war cabinet has been formed of five members, representing, with the Labor, Opposition and Liberals, the unity of the nation. It was necessary that this should be done in one single day on account of the extreme urgency and rigor of events. Other key positions were filled yesterday. I am submitting a further list to the King tonight. I hope to complete the appointment of principal Ministers during tomorrow. The appointment of other Ministers usually takes a little longer. I trust when Parliament meets again this part of my task will be completed and that the administration will be complete in all respects. I considered it in the public interest to suggest to the Speaker that the House should be summoned today. At the end of today's proceedings, the adjournment of the House will be proposed until May 2l with provision for earlier meeting if need be. Business for that will be notified to M. P. 's at the earliest opportunity. I now invite the House by a resolution to record its approval of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new government. The resolution: "That this House welcomes the formation of a government representing the united and inflexible resolve of the nation to prosecute the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion." To form an administration of this scale and complexity is a serious undertaking in itself. But we are in the preliminary Phase of one of the greatest battles in history. We are in action at any other points-in Norway and in Holland-and we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean. The air battle is continuing, and many preparations have to be made here at home. In this crisis I think I may be pardoned if I do not address the House at any length today, and I hope that any of my friends and colleagues or for mer colleagues who are affected by the political reconstruction will make all allowances for any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act. 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. 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 policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word, It is victory. Victory at all
