名人学习励志故事:英国首相戈登·布朗篇一：英国首相布朗英国首相布朗戈登·布朗戈登·布朗，1951年2月20日生于苏格兰的格拉斯哥，英国前首相和财政大臣。
布朗1968年加入英国工d，1982年获得爱丁堡大学经济学博士学位。
1999年9月11日起任国际货币基金组织临时委员会主席。
2001年6月8日连任英国财政大臣。
托尼·布莱尔于2007年6月27日正式向英国女王递交辞呈辞去英国首相职务，布朗接任，入住唐宁街10号。
北京时间2010年5月12日凌晨，布朗宣布将立即向英国女王提出辞职，保守d和自由民主d组建联合政府、卡梅伦出任新首相，工d13年的统治在这一天画上了句点。
童年时代的布朗一项交易： 1994年，工d领袖约翰·史密斯（John Smith）心脏病发去世，托尼·布莱尔与戈登·布朗做成一项政治交易，由布莱尔担任工d领袖即未来工d政府首相，而布朗则担任未来工d政府的财政大臣，布莱尔将在适当时机卸任，并由戈登·布朗继任工d领袖和首相职务。
戈登·布朗在刚刚上任成为财政大臣之后，在这仅次于首相的重要位置上，一干就是10年，不仅创下150年来担任财政大臣一职时间最长的纪录，而且协助布莱尔打造了“新工d”，全力推出一系列改革措施，英国经济实现了低通胀、低失业率、低利率和高增长的奇迹。
他出人意料地赋予英格兰银行（The Bank of England）独立制定利息基本利率（Base rate of interest）的权力和责任，从而使其控制货币政策。
他对英国经济所做出了两大杰出贡献。
首先，他给予英国中央银行“独立操作”的权限。
其次，没有加入欧洲单一货币体系。
2007年6月27日戈登·布朗接任英国首相，入主唐宁街10号。
他的家人和朋友更首次披露，布朗年纪轻轻时就有着非凡的智慧和明确的政治信念。
12岁就办起一家报纸，报纸曾经采访到美国的宇航员，还成功预言麦克米伦的辞职以及威尔逊的上任。
英国：大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国，简称联合王国（英文：United Kingdom）或不列颠（英文：Britain），通称英国，是由大不列颠岛上的英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士，以及爱尔兰岛东北部的北爱尔兰以及一系列附属岛屿共同组成的一个西欧岛国，西欧的一个高度发达的资本主义国家。
中文里的“英国”一词，即由“英格兰”而来，其国际代码为GB。
英国本土位于欧洲大陆西北面的不列颠群岛，被北海、英吉利海峡、凯尔特海、爱尔兰海和大西洋包围。
除了英国本土之外，还包括十四个海外领地。
1688年“光荣革命”确立英国君主立宪政体，英国首先完成工业革命，国力迅速壮大。
18世纪至20世纪初期统治的大英帝国领土跨越全球。
为当时最强盛国家。
两次世界大战爆发后都取得了胜利，但国力严重受损，到20世纪下半叶大英帝国解体，形成了以英国为核心的英联邦，英国世界第一强国的位置被美国取代，不过，英国依旧在国际上拥有着举足轻重的领导地位，是世界上数一数二的发达国家。
英国是一个在世界范围内拥有强大影响力、举足轻重的的经济、文化、军事和科技的世界强国。
英国亦为英联邦元首国、欧盟成员国、北约创始会员国、G8成员国之一，为联合国安理会五大常任理事国之一，对安理会议案拥有否决权。
首都伦敦是欧洲最大的城市、全球最大金融中心、全球最为领先的城市之一。
勇气、礼貌、担当的“绅士道”构成了英国精神的内涵。
国名：大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国(The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland)，又名英国，大英帝国，是由英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰组成的联合王国，主体是英格兰，所以习惯上称英国（英国本来是英格兰王国的简称）。
英伦三岛是指英格兰（England）、苏格兰(Scotland)和威尔士(Wales)，由于北爱尔兰(Northern Ireland)位于爱尔兰岛，其余众多岛屿面积过小，所以不包括在内。
CATTI二级笔译练习：英国首相-重塑全球伦理与市场道德英译中练习；英国首相戈登•布朗(Gordon Brown)呼吁缔造全球伦理与市场道德的新精神，来指导本周的20国集团(G20)峰会。
他在圣保罗大教堂发表的演说，综合了高调言论与对国内政治对手的低调抨击。
The British prime minister used a speech to faith leaders to suggest that David Cameron, the opposition Conservative leader, was prepared to stand aside while the recession took its toll, a policy which he said ―demeaned our humanity‖.布朗利用向宗教领袖发表的演讲指出，反对党保守党领袖大卫•卡梅伦(David Cameron)准备在经济衰退造成损失之际作壁上观，他称这项政策―贬低了我们的人性‖。
With Sir Christopher Wren's cathedral as a backdrop, Mr Brown insisted ―markets need moral s‖ and claimed he was something of a lone voice in arguing in the past that markets should be restrained.在克里斯托弗·雷恩爵士(Sir Christopher Wren)的大教堂中，布朗坚称―市场需要道德‖，并声称，他过去几乎是唯一主张市场应受到约束的人。
It was an ambitious speech, in which Mr Brown attempted to give his chairmanship of the G20 a spiritual underpinning – unfamiliar territory for most British prime ministers. Although a son of a preacher, Mr Brown is not a regular churchgoer.这是一场雄心勃勃的演说。
Good morning everyone, the country has just taken part in agiant democratic exercise, perhaps the biggest in our history.大家早上好。
国家刚刚经历了一场巨大的民主活动，这，也许会是史无前例的。
Over 33 million people from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Irelandand Gibraltar have all had their say.超过3千3百万来自英格兰，苏格兰，威尔士，北爱尔兰和直布罗陀的人民都表达出了他们的意见。
We should be proud of the fact that in these islands we trustthe people for these big decisions.我们应该感到骄傲的是：我们相信英国人民能作出这一重要的选择。
We not only have a parliamentary democracy, but on questionsabout the arrangements for how we've governed there are times when it is rightto ask the people themselves and that is what we have done.我们不仅有议会民主制，还会在适当的时候，就如何管理国家的问题询问人民群众。
而这正是我们刚做的。
The British people have voted to leave the European Union and their will must be respected.英国人公投决定离开欧盟，他们的意愿应该受到尊重。
I want to thank everyone who took part in the campaign on myside of the argument, including all those who put aside party differences tospeak in what they believe was the national interest and let me congratulateall those who took part in the Leave campaign for the spirited and passionate case that they made.我要感谢每一位在这次公投中与我站在同一阵营的人，包括那些搁置党派争议，为国家利益发声的人。

2008年英国首相布朗在中英工商峰会上的致辞时间:2009-04-09 10:08来源:口译网作者:口译网点击:4766次Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s Speech at UK China Business Summit18 January 2008Let me say first of all that I am honoured to be sharing a platform with Premier Wen Jiabao on this day when we are ushering in a new comprehensive strategic partnership between Britain and China, and I am delighted to be here in the city of Beijing to open the first UK-China Business Summit of 2008. With me are not only my colleagues John Hutton, from whom you have just heard, and Digby Jones, but 250 of the most senior businessmen and women from Britain for whom the deepening links between Britain and China matter hugely. And the presence of so many of our business leaders, both Chinese and British, in this hall is powerful proof of the deepening and growingpartnership between our two countries.Today the United Kingdom is the largest European investor in China with 6,000 projects worth in total over $15 billion. London ranks as the most powerful and populardestination for Chinese companies expanding into Europe. Trade between us has doubled every five years in recent times and this all brings to fruition the hope expressed by Premier Wen five years ago of Britain becoming China's leading European partner.And while we all know that the next stage of global economic change brings each of our countries' insecurities, as well as challenges and opportunities, I believe that there are great possibilities ahead for an even greater prosperity that now beckon China and Britain together. I believe we can make best use of these opportunities in greater cooperation and in sustained partnership.Others see globalisation as a risk. I see the rise of China and the reality of globalisation not as a threat but as an opportunity, an opportunity because China is a vast potential market for British companies, an opportunity because Britain with our long record of economic stability and of openness and of enterprise is well placed to augment our reputation as a destination of choice for Chinese business and Chinese investment, and an opportunity because Britain and China can contribute together to the greater prosperity of a better world. With one and a quarter billion consumers here in China, for British companies to attract even a fraction of that Chinese market, will provide vastly more opportunities for Britain than partnerships with many other countries. So my priority here in China is to discuss how by cooperating together we can advance the right global economic policies to help our countries meet and master change in thisnew world.We may be different in many ways, but China and Britain have much to offer each other.Britain had the first industrial revolution 200 years ago and brought one of the most far reaching changes in human history; today China is in the midst of a 21 st century revolution, one of the fastest economic revolutions in human history. Britain has the longest history of any nation in leadership for open trade and innovation; China is a new global leader in trade, rapidly developing new technologies that are being exported to the world. Britain is a world leader in services with strengthened advance manufacturing; China is a world leader in manufacturing, looking to develop its services sector.With all the differences, what we have in common is a belief in enterprise, in commerce, that the products of the future can reach out far beyond our borders and bring prosperity to the whole world. And ultimately neither of us can succeed as insular nations and we see great gains on both sides from joining together as the champions of an open, flexible, inclusive globalisation.Over the centuries Britain has had free trading relationships with every country in the world, and particularly deep relationships with America, Europe and the Commonwealth.Now looking forward into this 21 st century I want Britain to reach out to China, to build that comprehensive strategic partnership and forge an even closer relationship between our two countries. The greatest benefit to China is that we, Britain, will continue to oppose protectionist forces and will remain the foremost advocates of the openness in the world economy, essential not only to China's prosperity but to the world's. The biggest benefit to Britain is that we strengthen our place as the destination of choice for Chinese business and Chinese investment and both of us can benefit from sharing the innovations and the expertise that characterise the best of each of our nations.For two decades British politicians talked about going to China and opening up discussions. Now we are talking about something bigger, forging a high level dialogue, each reaching out to the other. And because with friendship comes responsibility, being a good partner also means being honest with each other when we disagree.To set an overall framework Premier Wen and I have agreed to establish the first high level economic and financial dialogue between China and Britain and it is one that is more comprehensive and deeper than any previous dialogue between China and any European country.And working in cooperation with the Chinese government and Chinese business I hope to see by 2010 100 more Chinese inward investment projects coming to Britain, over 100 Chinese companies now listed on the London Stock Exchange, up to 100,000 Chinese students studying in Britain, 100 partnerships between Chinese and British universities and other academic institutions, 100 more scientific collaborations between Chinese and British firms with Britain benefiting froma large share of investment from China's £1 billion Sovereign Wealth Fund.And we will take the following immediate steps to advance the partnership. First, Premier Wen and I have signed up today to a new target for a 50% increase in bilateral trade in goods and services, rising to 60 billion by 2010, more trade between Britain and China than between Britain and Australia, or Britain and Mexico, a rising proportion of the trade of both of our countries. And building on the six new contracts we have just signed between Britain and Chinese firms, from energy to financial services, to advanced technology, I want British business to set their sights on raising their exports in goods and services to China to $16 billion by 2010, almost double that of 2006.I want, secondly, to take steps to make the United Kingdom the prime location in Europe for inward Chinese investment. 52 Chinese companies have set up or expanded investment into the UK during the past year. There are now in total 350 mainland Chinese companies investing in the UK .. to work with and secure 100 more inward investment projects from China. I believe that the UK market offers significant advantages to commercially motivated international investors who respect the rules of our market, including market transparency. It is in all our interests that the environment within which we trade is open, and accountable, and well regulated, and we want Britain to benefit from the $200 billion of investment available through the Chinese Investment Corporation. So we should welcome the CIC setting up an office in London. We are keen to engage with China and internationally on how to ensure best practice in Sovereign Wealth Funds, particularly in transparency and corporate governance, and I welcome the statements made by Premier Wen today about this very matter.We are, thirdly, inviting more Chinese companies to raise capital in UK markets. The aim is to double the number of Chinese listings on the London Stock Exchange in the next two years. The Chinese government has fast tracked the approval process, so during this visit I am pleased to be able to open the London Stock Exchange office in Beijing, and I am asking the Chinese government to consider removing restrictions on Chinese companies raising capital overseas so that far more of them can benefit from the advantage that listing in London can offer.We will, fourthly, continue to work with the Chinese government to open up financial services in China and increase trade between us in the years ahead. The financial services sector is one in which Britain leads the world, so we can not only become an even greater provider of financial services to China, but offer our experience and expertise as China develops its own financial services industry.Both Britain and China also recognise that higher skills are the key to higher levels of growth and prosperity, and that is why in design, architecture and the creative industries,from fashion toadvertising, China I hope is benefiting from British expertise. And that is why we, Britain, will set up a new website offering learners and teachers of English round the world ready access to the materials, resources and qualifications they need to develop their skills. We want to encourage a million Chinese people to use that site every month and to ensure that as many new Chinese learners as possible can have English language training.60,000 Chinese students already study in Britain, but we want to encourage more to c ome by expanding scholarship and work experience programmes. And I am keen to see the partnerships that are now growing between our educational institutions and institutions rise so that we can have more agreed on top of the 160 already in place. And we know that countries will only have a competitive edge in the years ahead if they develop world leadership in the most technologically intensive ... based industries and services. So with our world class network of universities, research institutes and knowledge centres linked up to business, I hope we can be China's natural partner in this endeavour.The number of scientific collaborations between our countries has doubled and I want to kick-start the next set of collaborations. So Premier Wen and I have agreed a new £4 million programme to encourage bilateral cooperation between universities and high-tech businesses in key technologies such as healthcare. We produced together over 5,500 joint science and research papers between 2001 and 2005, more papers than were produced with any other European country, and we should work to double this over the next five years. And as China continues to move rapidly towards a more innovative and high tech economy, I urge you to match improvements in your legislative framework for intellectual property with improvements in enforcement.Finally, as leading economies both Britain and China share a duty to deliver future prosperity and do so in a sustainable way. And there are real benefits in new businesses and new jobs from the environmental technologies of the future. So Premier Wen and I have agreed today a new UK-China partnership on climate change, including extending our collaboration on carbon capture and storage, and we will work together to build sustainable cities, providing new commercial opportunities for both Chinese and British industry and companies.From Britain's perspective the opportunities for future partnership seem boundless, and we will continue to make the right long term decisions to maintain our pro-business environment and secure the comparative advantages we seek. What is clear is that globalisation need not be a zero sum game where one country or one continent win and succeed only at the expense of the other. Instead by strengthening cooperation between Britain and China, this will enable both of us to make the most of the possibilities that globalisation offers. And I believe that the new global prosperity partnership that I am outlining today will help each of us - Britain and China - prosper and lead in the new world and I look forward to continued cooperation with Premier Wen and with the whole of China in advancing this agenda that is in the mutual interests of both our countriesand the prosperity of the world.Thank you very much.原文链接：/field/economy/609.html。
