前首相布莱尔伦敦申办2012年奥运会陈述报告【双语对照版】

Hello and welcome to what I am sure will be the first of many direct broadcasts from the Downing Street website. I'm sitting here at my desk in Downing Street in front of my PC terminal, which I'm just getting to use after many years of not really wanting to come to terms with the new computer technology. I did a course. I'm coming to terms with it. I'm using the new PC terminal and it really brings me to reflect upon what I wanted to say to you this week, which is of course the importance of education and skills-the importance of education and skills for everyone including adults but most particularly for our children. My children, like others, are having to learn the new technology. They have to become expert at it and they are going to be leaving school and going to work in a world in which skill and talent and ability is not just their route to personal fulfilment, it is their route to prosperity. They will need those skills and talents if they have got any chance of succeeding. And the country needs them to be highly skilled as well.In Britain, we've always been excellent at educating an elite well. The top 20 per cent have always been pretty well educated. But for the majority, the standards just haven't been high enough. We've had a poverty of ambition and aspiration which has meant that large numbers of people leave school either without qualifications or without nearly the qualifications they need. Our vision for the education system is really like this. We need education throughout life. Everyone understands that.It has to begin at a young age so the first stage is nursery education for the four year olds and three year olds. And we're pretty well on the way to achieving that. The four year olds have now got the chance of decent nursery education. We've doubled the numbers of three year olds who get the chances of nursery education and will extend that further over time.Then after that, at the second stage, we need primary schools that really focus on the basics - getting literacy and numeracy right and I'll come back to that in a minute.And then the third stage is a comprehensive system. That isn't comprehensive in the sense of being so uniform that everyone gets the same type of teaching in the same way as if they were all of the same ability. But is comprehensive in the sense that everyone gets the chance of an equal opportunity dependent on their ability, to do the very best that they can.And the fourth stage is a university system where we're opening up access to more people and where we're building up really high class, high quality universities.So, going back to the primary school system, this week we had a report from OFSTED - which is the body that inspects all our schools and says how they're doing - we had a report which was good news in many ways and showed where we still have to improve.On the primary schools they've pointed out that, thanks to the reforms of the literacy and numeracy hour, then results of English and Maths for the test for 11 year olds had shot up to the best ever. And that's good news. It's a great tribute to the people and of course the teachers. And it's important in other ways too because what it meant was that we could see that the reforms introduced, which many people resisted at the time, have actually yielded good results, I think we're well on the way, with the reduction in infant class sizes and the new money that's going into primary school buildings to make our primary schools a place where kids can pretty much be guaranteed the very basics they need for later life education.What we've now got to do is turn our attention to the secondary schools. And here, in a sense, we've tolerated bad results and low expectations, particularly in some of the inner city comprehensives, for far too long. Now when I said we wanted a comprehensive system in which there was equal opportunity but where we didn't have a uniform system, what I meant by that was we need schools that all have strong headteachers, good discipline and ethos of hard work and learning, high quality motivated teachers, parents that get involved, good facilities - all these things are vital, and you can tell a good school the moment you walk through the door. Those things are, if you like, common to all good schools. But then we also need to recognise that children are of different abilities and we also need to recognise that schools can specialise in different types of subjects. So what we are now doing is, as well as trying to raise standards generally in the schools, developing specialist schools and, in fact by the year 2003, about a quarter of our secondary schools will be specialist schools. That means that they will specialise in science or languages or technology and they'll offer something particular, and a bit more in those specalties that wil attract children to the school they want to specialize in that way,but also raise the standards in the school generally.Along with all the other investment that we're putting in-with the changes in teachers' pay so that teachers can get an increase above the ordinary increase but related to standards of performance, along with the measures we're taking to train headteachers properly and to set up a new college of leadership for our schools where we're trying to develop the headteachers of the future - along with all these things, I think we will be able to build a secondary school system for the future that isn't abouteither returning to the old system where we divided kids up into successes and failures at the age of 11, but is getting away from, if you like, the 60s or 70s concept of the comprehensive school. So I think again there the OFSTED report said that we were making improvements. They said that the majority of schools were doing better than they were last year but we've got some way to go. And we've acknowledged that and I hope that the reforms that we're putting in place will help us get there. So, yes we've got a long way to go, but there's nothing more important in Britain than the sort of teenagers that emerge from our schools. And our aim has got to be that more and more of them get high quality, high class education that enables them to go into university or to develop their skills in a way that gives them the chance of fulfilling their own potential. And I think that's within our reach. We need the investment in our schools, but we need the reform and the modernisation too. So it's a long haul but this week's OFSTED report is important because it shows we can make a difference.I'm the first to say that we have to go even further. That education is my passion, the passion of this Government. We said it would be our number one priority. It is our number one priority. And I think we can say asa result of this report this week that, yes, there's much still to do buta lot has been achieved. Britain's schools are getting better step by step, and, as those reforms take root, and as people start to see the results of those reforms, then I think we can build the notion of high quality excellent education for all as the national purpose for Britain as we begin the 21st Century.。

布莱尔首相演讲:The Extreme Weather and FuelPrime Minister's Webcast on the Extreme Weather and Fuel - 2 November 2000I'm recording this webcast just before I go to see for myself the severe damage that the recent storms and torrential rain have caused and are still causing - to large parts of the country.Despite the remarkable efforts of the emergency services, thousands of people have seen their homes flooded, their possessions ruined and their lives disrupted. Sadly too, some lives have been lost.It's not possible, of course, to be sure these storms are the result of climate change.But the increasing frequency of such extreme weather here, in the rest ofEurope and around the world, does lend support to those who say that globalwarming is no longer a theory but is a daily fact of life.And, of course, in and immediate and practical sense there are lessons to be learnt from the flooding and the havoc caused.We must see, for instance, how flood defences can be improved to helpexisting communities.We must also ensure that threat from flooding is given more serious consideration in planning any new development.The Government for it's part will carry on working with the emergency services, local authorities and others to try and make sure that we have the best possible defences against these changes in weather that we can have. And on an international as well as national level, we will continue to give the lead on tackling the issue of climate change.Let me turn also to the other big issue that is concerning people which is in respect of fuel and the possibility of fuel duty protests over the next few days and weeks.I believe that no government could possibly give in or yield to the types of demands that are made by some of the fuel protesters. But I want to address myself instead to the issue of the demands themselves, because some of these demands which range from anything from a 15p to a 26p cut in fuel duty, would have economic consequences far beyond those that the protesters, at the moment at any rate, are prepared to accept.At the moment the British economy is the fourth strongest economy now in the world. And we have managed, through changes in economic management, to produce a stability which has delivered the lowest inflation in Europe, mortgage rates at half the level of the last Government, billions of pounds saved in debt repayments, rising living standards, and approximately one million more people in work with the lowest unemployment levels seen for over 20 years.And although people talk about the Government having a surplus, and of course it's only because of the strong economy that we have this surplus, it's worth as well just remembering the last time a Government decided to treat a surplus as something that can be spent overnight. That happened in the late 1980s.In 1989, the then Government had a very large budget surplus indeed. Just three years later as a result of them spending that surplus without thinking of the long term, we had the largest deficit borrowing requirement in any Governments history, a national debt that was on its way to being doubled, 15% interest rates, recession, spending cuts, and finally, tax rises.So, it's not simply that no responsible government could of course make policy on the basis of people threatening so called Armageddon or blocking food supplies or so on. It is that on the actual issue itself, of fuel duty, there are constraints and limits on what the Government can do.So I hope that those making this protest will listen to those warning of the impact of their action on pensioners, hospitals, schools and jobs, thats been spelt out very clearly, by people like the CBI, the TUC and the British Chambers of Commerce.And I hope they will understand that we are in no way ignoring the concerns of those who say that the high cost of petrol is hurting them. And we understand that that is so, but we have to balance anything we might do to meet those concernsagainst the wider impact on the economy - on interest rates, on other taxes, on what we can do for pensioners or to improve our schools and hospitals.And yes it is true that petrol duty is higher in this country than elsewhere in Europe. Although many of those comparisons, of course, are changed because of the very strong level of the pound at the present time.But even if we accept that, that petrol duty is higher, what people often don't mention is that income tax is lower than elsewhere in Europe. Business tax is lower, we dont pay motorway tolls, our National Insurance charges are lower. Many other European countries levy VAT for example on food, on childrens clothes, and on newspapers.Overall, Britain has the lowest tax burden of any major European country. So, of course, if we had the income tax rates or the business tax rates of other countries in Europe, or if we are putting VAT on food or other essentials, then we could give a bigger cut in fuel duty.But, the truth of the matter is most people would not want our tax levels to be like those in those other European countries. So there is a limit to what we can do and we also have other demands for our help.Pensioners, for example, have got a good case for more help, and if we simply changed petrol duty, we could do less for them, and less for those who also desire investment in our schools, our health service, our police and transport.There is one other consideration as well. The economy is growing very strongly at the moment, as I say, employment levels are at their highest for this country ever, there are around 28 million people now in work in this country and unemployment levels at their lowest for over 20 years.Even within the surplus that we have, and some of the tales of that surplus incidentally are greatly exaggerated. But even within the surplus we have, we have to make sure that any spending we make, whether its in relation to the concerns of fuel protesters or pensioners or indeed spending on our public services, is sufficiently prudent and disciplined and leaves us enough leeway for the long term, that we don't have that spending leading to a rise in interest and mortgage rates.Because if we did that, then people might get some short term benefit but then if their interest rates and their mortgages went up then they would be worse off.So, the cost of returning to boom and bust would be far greater for every family in the country than the recent rises in the price of petrol. Rises, by the way, which recently have been driven solely by the steep increase in the world price of crude oil which is why these protests have taken place, not just all over Europe but in other parts of the world too.So, we will do what we can but we won't do something that is irresponsible either in respect of the economic stability and success of this country, or the key investment we need in our public services to make us a stronger, better, and fairer country in the future.。

布莱尔首相演讲inv estme nt布莱尔首相演讲tran script of the prime mi nisters broadcast on in vestme ntwherever you look in our coun try, you can see the result of decades of un der- in vestme nt.children still being taught in cramped or prefab classrooms. patients treated in wards built long before penicillin was discovered.our railways and roads fall short of the standards we need. and thats not just bad for travellers but bad for our economy.and its not just the fabric of our country which reveals the sig ns ofthis failure to in vest.there was a chronic shortage of people, of teachers, doctors, nu rseswhe n we came into gover nment three years ago.eve n worse, we found that training places and recruitme nt had ofte nbee n cut back.now i dont go along with those who claim, for example, that we havea third world health service.thats an in sult to the dedicated doctors and nu rses who work in then hs. and it also ignores the fact that thousa nds of people every day get superb treatme nt and care.but we are now the fourth biggest economyin the world. and few peoplewould claim we have the fourth best public services. i certainly dont.thats because for far too long - we have nt inv ested. we have nt looked to the Ion g-term. we have nt inv ested for our future.and thats largely because of the cycle of boom and bust which has gripped our economy for so long.it mea nt sudde n in creases of inv estme nt followed by panic cut-backs which made it impossible to pla n sen sibly for the future.we were so determ ined to restore stability to the economy - eve n ifit meant hard decisi ons and some un popularity.we did nt ignore inv estme nt in our early years. in deed we laun ched the biggest hospital building programmein the history of the health service. the first of these is already open in carlisle. we invested to make surethat infant class sizes have falle n. over 10,000 schools have bee nre-furbished or repaired. wherever you live, therell be a school near you which has ben efited.but there is a great deal more to do. and with inflation and interestrates low, billions saved in debt repayments and a record number of people in work, the country can now afford the sustained investment needed in our health service, schools, police and tran sport systems.it meansa 150% in crease in in vestme nt in public tran sport inv estme nt desperately n eeded for our roads and railways.the n theres a £ 1.4 billio n in crease in health spe nding on hospitals,cli nics and equipme nt.and extra inv estme nt, too, for urge nt repairs for 7,000 more schools. but theres little point in having wonderful new schools or hospitals if you dont have the trained staff to go into them.so were work ing hard to tackle the shortage of nu rses, doctors and teachers. weve reversed, for example, the short-sighted cuts in nurse trai ningplaces. weve expa nded medical schools and places.we are hav ing some success, too - an in crease of n early 5,000 doctors in the health service in the last three years in the health service. anin crease of 10,000 qualified nu rses too.and this week welearnt that for the first time in eight years the number of teachers in training has rise n.that is vital because it is the dedicated teachers who are delivering the realprogress were see ing in our schools.good teachers can and do make a massive differenee to the lives of the childre n they teach.every day, in schools the len gth and breadth of our coun try, thehard-work of dedicated teachers give our childre n the help and en courageme nt they n eed to realise their pote ntial.for far too long however, teachers have felt un der-valued andun der-rewarded. and thats wrong whe n you think that there can be fewjobsmore fulfilli ng, more challe nging or more importa nt to our societys future tha n being a teacher.so this welcome in crease in the nu mbers of teachers in trai ning is asig n that we are beg inning to get things right.but theres a lot more that we n eed to do. i want to see the best andthe brightest sig n up in their tens of thousa nds to become teachers, to join that educati on crusade.we need more teachers just as we need more doctors, more nurses, more moder n schools and hospitals.it cant be done overnight. it takes years to build a new hospital ortrain new doctors.but our hard-w on econo mic stability means we now have the cha nee atleast to pla n and inv est for the Ion g-term.a chanee to end the years of neglect of our public services and deliver the world-class education, health and transport system that this country n eeds and deserves. its a cha nee that we should all take.篇二：布莱尔为最贵演讲者每分钟近赚万美元布莱尔为最贵演讲者每分钟近赚万美元就在各国领导人四处筹钱为拯救经济而殚精竭虑的同时，一些卸任的首脑虽然过日子不差钱，但也闲不住，英国前首相布莱尔就是其中一个表现最突出的一个。

替罗格写的伦敦奥运闭幕式发言稿(含翻译版本)恭喜英国成功的举办了这届奥运，我们为之骄傲。

此届奥运十分有特色，我们感谢英国政府为之付出的努力。

这届奥运会成功的阐释了“同一个世界，不同的猜想”的颇具现实主义的主题，展示了英国人的坚决抵制一切非白色人种的爱国主义情结，同时，让我们看到了自由民主的真谛：一些人具有的猜疑造谣诋毁等言论自由及另一些人具有的与生俱来沉默的权利。

这届奥运会完美的阐释了奥运精神，虽然有少部分运动员消极比赛，但难能可贵的是，在赛场上我们的裁判敢打敢拼顽强拼搏，和奥运官员一起维护了奥运的尊严，牢牢的将金牌掌握在自己手里。

在这里，向意志坚强的裁判表达敬意。

2012年奥运会必将载入史册，伦敦因奥运大放光彩，奥运因伦敦别具风味。

伦敦奥运因出人意料而出色，正如会徽一样：你可以知道左边的是个男人，但你永远不知道右边的是男还是女。

同时，借这个机会，让我对007及女王在开幕式的出彩表演表示感谢。

伦敦奥运的吉祥物也必将载入史册：独眼看世界。

他表明这个世界是单级的。

我们不需要另一只眼睛来发表不同的看法，我们的世界是单面的，而不是多元的立体的世界。

最后，让我们再一次为伦敦奥运表示喝彩，让我们今夜为伦敦奥运而失眠。

Congratulations to the GB government, we are so proud for u that u have conducted so perfect an Olympic Game for us. this is a fancy and exclusive game and we r so appreciated for all the efforts that GB have done for it.The game itself have well explained "one world, different suspicions" as the realistic theme of the Olympic Games, showed us the patriotic complex of Britons that repelling all other none-white nations, also it teaches us the true meaning of freedom and democracy: some people have the right of making suspicions,rumours and slanders, whiles the others have the inborn right of keeping silent.This Games also perfectly explained the Spirit of the Olympic, though thereare some negative competition by certain few athletes in the Games,while what's more precious and important is, our umpires are so strong, so aggreesive and so combatant that together with Olympic official, they defeat all other players in competition terrain and put all the medals under their control firmly. Here, again let me express my respection to these umpires and official.2012 Olympic will be remembered forever by the world, London bacomes famous because of the Games, and the Games is so special because of London. Olympic is brilliant because it is so unpredictable, just as the logo of the Olympic Games, u can know it is a man in the left, but u can never know it is a man or a women in the right. Also, at this moment, let me thanks for the wonderful perform of the Queen and 007(Mr. Bond) in the opening ceremony of the Games.Also the mascot of London will be remembered forever by the world too: view the world by one eye. it have clearly clarified that we don't need the different world viewd by "the another eye", our world is sole not multivariate as we thought before.At last, lets cheers for London Olympic Games and lets enjoy this sleepless night for London.资料来源：/data/xdth/。

London wins 2012 OlympicsLONDON, England (CNN) -- London has defeated European rival Paris to host the 2012 Summer Games, bringing the Olympics back to Britain for the first time in more than half a century.International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge made the announcement after IOC members voted 54-50 to eliminate the French capital in the fourth and final round of secret ballots Wednesday in Singapore."The International Olympic Committee has the honor of announcing that the Games of the 30th Olympiad in 2012 are awarded to the city of London," Rogge declared after opening a sealed envelope containing the result.Thousands of people in London's Trafalgar Square cheered as they watched the announcement on giant TV screens.London has twice played host to the Olympics, in 1908 and 1948. It becomes the first city to host the Olympics three times.British Prime Minister Tony Blair hailed the victory as "a momentous day for London."London bid leader Olympic gold medalist Sebastian Coe said: "I'm absolutely ecstatic, we have the opportunity to do what we always dreamed about, getting more young people into sport."This is our moment. It's massive. It's huge. This is the biggest prize in sport," The Associated Press quoted Coe as saying.England soccer captain David Beckham said: "In 2012, I can take my children to an Olympics which we might never had had the chance to do. ... This is such a huge lift for our country."Rogge also expressed joy at London's victory."We are very, very pleased with the victory of London," AP quoted the IOC chief as saying. "People we trust, people we know will give us a superb games."In the French capital, groans of disappointment swept through a crowd of thousands gathered at Paris Town Hall.It was the third defeat for Paris in 20 years, with bids for the 1992 and 2008 Games also failing.Moscow, New York and Madrid were eliminated in the first three rounds of voting respectively.Although it was a favorite, Paris never led throughout the voting, AP reported.In the first round, London got 22 votes, Paris 21, Madrid 20 and New York 19. In the second round, Madrid had 32 votes, followed by London with 27 and Paris 25, AP said.In the third round, London led Paris 39-33 after picking up several New York votes. In the last round, Madrid's votes were spread about evenly, giving London enough to win.Last-minute lobbyingThe decision followed a final, furious lobbying effort by an elite "who's who" of politicians and athletes at the IOC's annual meeting.Among the dignitaries who traveled to Singapore to lobby IOC members were Blair, French President Jacques Chirac, Queen Sofia of Spain and Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov.The five cities bidding to host the 2012 Summer Games delivered their final presentations ahead of the vote.London used royalty to get its message across, with Princess Anne kicking off the city's one-hour presentation with a message from Queen Elizabeth II."I've been impressed by the way everyone has united behind London's bid. As a country we share a passion for sport," the queen's message said, according to Reuters.Blair, who held a string of meetings with IOC delegates before flying home to host the G8 summit in Gleneagles, Scotland this weekend, underlined London's message Wednesday with a pre-recorded video clip."Our vision is to see millions of young people participate in sport and improve their lives. London has the power to make this happen," Reuters quoted Blair as saying.Chirac spoke passionately to the IOC, saying, "The heart of Paris and the heart of France are beating in unison in the hope of becoming Olympic host in 2012," AP reported."You can put your trust and faith in France, you can trust the French, you can trust us."Paris also utilized the talents of actress Catherine Deneuve and French singer Johnny Halliday to highlight the wonders of Paris.New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton and bid leader Dan Doctoroff used New York's readiness and its multicultural traditions to woo judges.Bloomberg reminded the IOC of the city's recovery from the September 11, 2001,terrorist attacks."In our city's darkest hour, we asked ourselves, can we recover?" AP quoted him as saying. "New Yorkers stood up then and said, 'Yes, we can recover, we will rebuild and we must continue to welcome everyone. That spirit will be given to your Games."U.S. President George W. Bush and former President Bill Clinton spoke in prerecorded video messages, AP said.New York's delegation also included U.S. Olympic Committee Chairman Peter Ueberroth and a host of decorated Olympians, including Muhammad Ali, Nadia Comaneci, Ian Thorpe, Janet Evans and Jackie Joyner-Kersee.Russian President Vladimir Putin's live video clip -- delivered in English -- urged the IOC to grasp a "unique and truly historic opportunity" by selecting Moscow, Reuters said."Moscow is a meeting place of cultures. Moscow is perfectly suited to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games," he said.Russian swimming great Alexander Popov added: "If we can convince you to take this historic opportunity today, together we can change the world tomorrow."Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and Queen Sofie pressed Madrid's case."The whole Spanish royal family is convinced that Madrid fully meets the conditions to offer to the world the best Olympic Games," AP quoted the queen as saying.Responding to questions from delegates, Madrid officials downplayed threats from the Basque extremist group ETA."Absolute security is assured," AP quoted Zapatero as saying."It's our main priority. Those who have tried to attack our candidacy will see that this is something that is doomed to disappear in Madrid and all of Spain."V oting has gone to four ballots in four of the last five votes to pick a host for the Summer Games. The only exception was in 2001, when Beijing was selected for the 2008 Olympics on just the second ballot.。

布莱尔演讲稿：《I Did What I Thought Was Right我问心无愧》中英I Did What I Thought Was RightResignation Speech (May 10, 2007)Thank you very much, indeed.It’s a great privilege to be with you here again today and to thank all of you, too, for such a wonderful and warm welcome, especially Maureen and her friends, who gave me such a wonderful welcome. The only thing is theywhen I was coming in"Four more years,I was saying, "Maureen, that’s not our message for today."I’d just like to say, also, if I might, just a special word of thanks to John Burton. John has been my agent here for many years now. He’s still the best political adviser that I’ve got. He’sall the years I’ve known him, he’s been steadfast in his loyalty to me, to the Labour Party, and to the Sunderland Football Club, not necessarilyin that order. We won’t get into that.But, you know, it’s been my great good fortune at certain points in my life to meet exceptional people, and he is one very exceptional person.And also, if I may refer to another exceptional person, who’s my wife, friend and partner Cherie.And the children, of course, Euan and Nicky and Kathryn and Leo, who make me never forget my failings... but give me great love and support.So I’ve come back here to Sedgefield to my constituency, where my political journey began and where it’s fitting that it should end.Today I announce my decision to stand down from the leadership of the Labour Party. The party will now select a new leader. On the 27th of June, I will tender my resignation from the office of prime minister to the queen.I’ve been prime minister of this country for just over 10 years. In this job in the world of today, I think that’s long enough for me, but more especially for the country. And sometimes, the only way you conquer the pull of power is to set it down.It’s difficult in a way to know how to make this speech. There are obviously judgments to be made on my premiership, and in the end, that is for you the people to make.I can only describe what I think has been done over these last10 years and, perhaps more important, why I tried to do it. And I’ve never quite put it in this way before.I was born almost a decade after the Second World War. I wasa young man in the social revolution of the ‘60s and ‘70s. I reached political maturity as the Cold War was ending, and the world was going through a political and economic and technological revolution.And I looked at my own country: a great country, wonderful history, magnificent traditions, proud of its past, but strangely uncertain of its future, uncertain about the future, almostold-fashioned.And all that was curiously symbolized, you know, in the politics of the time. You had choices. You stood for individual aspiration and getting on in life or social compassion and helping others. You were liberal in your values or conservative. You believed in the power of the state or the efforts of the individual. Spending more money on the public realm was the answer or it was the problem.And none of it made sense to me. It was 20th-century ideology in a world approaching the new millennium.Of course, people want the best for themselves, and their families, but in an age where human capital is the nation’s greatest asset, they also know it’s just and sensible to extend opportunities to develop the potential to succeed for all our people, not just the elite at the top. And people today are open-minded about race and sexuality, they’re averse to prejudice, and yet deeply, rightly, conservative with a small c when it comes to good manners, respect for others, treating people courteously. They acknowledge the need for the state and the responsibility ofthe individual. And they know spending money on our public services matters. And they know it’s not enough: How they are run and organized matters, too.So 1997 was a moment for a new beginning, the sweeping away of all the detritus of the past. And expectations were so high. Too high, probably. Too high in a way for either of us.And now, in 2007, you could easily point to the challenges or the things that are wrong or the grievances that fester. But go back to 1997. Think backno, really think back.Think about your own living standards then in May 1997 and now. Visit your local school, any of them around here or anywhere in modern Britain. Ask when you last had to wait a year or more on a hospital waiting list or heard of pensioners freezing to death in the winter, unable to heat their homes.There is only one government since 1945 that can say all of the following: more jobs, fewer unemployed, better health and education results, lower crime, and economic growth in every quarter. Only one government: This one.But we don’t need statistics. There’s something bigger than what can be measured in waiting lists or GSCE results or the latest crime or jobs figures.Look at the British economy, at ease with globalization; London, the world’s financial center; visit our great cities in this country and compare them with 10 years ago. No country attracts overseas investment like we do.And think about the culture in Britain in the year 2007. I don’t just mean our arts that are thriving. I mean our values: the minimum wage, paid holidays as a right, amongst the best maternity leave and pay in Europe, equality for gay people.Or look at the debates that reverberate around the world today: the global movement to support Africa in its struggle against poverty, climate change, the fight against terrorism. Britain is not a follower today. Britain is a leader. It gets the essential characteristic of today’s world: It’s interdependence.This is a country that today for all its faults, for all the myriadof unresolved problems and fresh challenges, it is a country comfortable in the 21st century, at home in its own skin, able not just to be proud of its past, but also confident of its future.And I don’t think Northern Ireland would have been changed unless Britain had changed, or the Olympics won if we were still the Britain of 1997.And as for my own leadership, throughout these 10 years, where the predictable has competed with the utterly unpredicted, right at the outset, one thing was clear to me: Without the Labour Party allowing me to lead it, nothing could have ever been done.But I also knew my duty was to put the country first. That much was obvious to me when, just under 13 years ago, I became Labour’s leader.What I had to learn, however, as prime minister, was what putting the country first really meant.Decision-making is hard. You know, everyone always says in politics,"Listen to the people,and the trouble is, you find,they don’t always agree.And when you’re in opposition, you meet this group and they say,"Why can’t you do thisand you say, "It’s a really good question, thank you,and they go away and say, "It’s great; he really listened."And then you meet that other group, and they say, "Why can’t you do that and you say, "It’s a really good question, thank you,and they go away happy that you listened.In government, you have to give the answer; not an answer, the answer.And in time, you realize that putting the country first doesn’t mean doing the right thing according to conventional wisdom or the prevailing consensus or the latest snapshot of opinion. It means doing what you genuinely believe to be right; that your duty as prime minister is to act according to your conviction.And all of that can get contorted so that people think that you act according to some messianic zeal.Doubt, hesitation, reflection, consideration, reconsideration: These are all the good companions of proper decision-making. But the ultimate obligation is to decide.And sometimes the decisions are accepted quite quickly. Bank of England independence was one which, gave us our economic stability.Sometimes, like tuition fees or trying to break up old monolithic services, the changes are deeply controversial, hellish hard to do, but you can see you’re moving with the grain of change around the world.And sometimes, like with Europe, where I believe Britain should keep its position strong, you know you are fighting opinion, but you’re kind of content with doing so.And sometimes, as with the completely unexpected, you are alone with your own instinct.In Sierra Leone and to stop ethnic cleansing in Kosovo, I tookthe decision to make our country one that intervened, that did not pass by or keep out of the thick of it.And then came the utterly unanticipated and dramatic September the 11th, 2001, and the death of 3,000 or more on the streets of New York. And I decided we should stand shoulder to shoulder with our oldest ally, and I did so out of belief. And so Afghanistan, and then Iraq, the latter, bitterly controversial.And removing Saddam and his sons from power, as with removing the Taliban, was over with relative ease, but the blowback since from global terrorism and those elements that support it has been fierce and unrelenting and costly. And for many, it simply isn’t and can’t be worth it.For me, I think we must see it through. They, the terrorists who threaten us here and around the world, will never give up if we give up. It is a test of will and belief, and we can’t fail it.So some things I knew I would be dealing with. Some I thought I might be, some never occurred to meor to youon that morning of the 2nd of May 1997 when I came into Downing Streetfor the first time.Great expectations, not fulfilled in every part for sure.Occasionally, people say, as I said earlier, "The expectations were too high. You should have lowered them.But to be frank, I would not have wanted it any other way. I was and remain, as a person and as a prime minister, an optimist. Politics may be the art of the possible, but at least in life give the impossible a go.So, of course, divisions are painted in the colors of the rainbow and the reality sketched in the duller tones of black and white and gray. But I ask you to accept one thing: Hand on heart, I did what I thought was right. I may... I may have been wrong. That’s your call. But believe one thing, if nothing else: I did what I thought was right for our country.And I came into office with high hopes for Britain’s future, and you know, I leave it with even higher hopes for Britain’s future. This is a country that can today be excited by the opportunities, not constantly fretful of the dangers.And people say to me, "It’s a tough job.Not really. A tough life is the life led by the young severely disabled children and their parents who visited me in Parliament the other week. Tough is the life my dad had, his whole career cut short at the age of 40 by a stroke.Actually, I’ve been very lucky and very blessed.And this country is a blessed nation. The British are special. The world knows it. In our innermost thoughts, we know it. This is the greatest nation on Earth.So it has been an honor to serve it.I give my thanks to you, the British people, for the times that I’ve succeed, and my apologies to you for the times I’ve fallen short. But good luck.我问心无愧[1]辞职演说(2007年5月10日)非常感谢诸位。

It is a pleasure to be here in Ghana today - part of a four-day visit I am making to West Africa, including Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Senegal. I am accompanied by Clare Short, who will be well known to many of you as the UK's International Development Secretary. Yesterday, I spoke to the Nigerian Assembly and today it is my pleasure and privilege to have the opportunity of speaking to your Parliament. Right across the African continent, countries are emerging from military rule and dictatorship. You are rightly proud of your own democratic institutions, including the elections that took place just over a year ago which saw a peaceful change of government. The strength and vitality of this assembly is proof of the strength and health of your young democracy. The theme of my visit this week is partnership - the necessity and the possibility of a greatly strengthened partnership between reforming African governments and the world's richer countries. A partnership based on shared responsibility and mutual interest. A partnership in which both sides commit to the policy reforms required for Africa to secure poverty reduction and development. I believe that the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) creates an unprecedented opportunity for progress. It is clear that Africans themselves must drive the process of reform. If we have learned anything in development over the last decade it is that development strategies imposed from the outside, in the absence of local leadership and commitment, will fail. But you and I also know that poor countries need support if they are to promote development and consolidate their democratic institutions. Today, I want to focus on this - on our responsibilities to you. The efforts we can make to support your efforts. There are three dimensions to this. First, we need to be clear about the purpose of our development co-operation. There are too many mixed motives in aid and development. Indeed one of the reasons that many people in the West are cynical about aid and development is because a lot of aid has been misused over the years, feeding the elites and corrupt rulers like Mobutu, rather then helping the poor in developing countries. We need a very different approach. At the UN Millennium Assembly the governments of the world have endorsed a set of Millennium Development Targets. These include halving the proportion of the world's population living in poverty, universal primary education, a reduction by two-thirds in child mortality, and a cut of three-quarters in maternal mortality - all to be achieved by 2015. These are the world's agreed development goals. While there has been progress in recent years, the efforts of the international community are still falling well short of their potential. Too much of global aid is still used to sweeten commercial contracts or tied to the purchase of goods from the donor country. If we are going to make faster progress in development, we need to strengthen the international focus on achieving the Millennium development goals. Second - if we are to achieve this progress - we need a fundamental conceptual shift in our approach to aid. Not aid as a hand-out but aid as a hand-up, to help people to help themselves. Not aid to create dependence but to create sustainable independence, so that the relationship between the developed and the developing world is not one of donor and passive recipient but one of equal partners in building prosperity for all. This is aid as investment in our collective economic and political security. Over the years, a great deal of aid has sapped rather than strengthened the capacity of the government locally. This is the very opposite of what is needed. We need investment to help countries put in place more effective states, capable of generating higher levels of economic growth, creating the resources to fund better health, education and public services. In many developing countries institutions are weak, including systems of financial management, increasing the risk of corruption. Our new approach to partnership in development is to provide technical assistance and financial resources to enable you to build capable states. This is why NEPAD is such an important initiative. It is a real chance - the best chance in a generation - to do development differently, and more effectively. You will understand that there is often concern amongst the publics of developed countries about the way in which development resources are used. This is not a lack of compassion. There is huge compassion and a willingness to tackle poverty and injustice across the world. But there is often scepticism that resources really get to those who need them. The reforms that NEPAD is making, and that you are making, respond to this concern. It will ensure that our development efforts are more effective. It will also help us to gain support for development across the world. The UK and other progressive development agencies are now increasingly allocating their aid resources in line with this new approach. As you know, this is also very much the thinking behind the new Poverty Reduction Strategy process, linked to the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries initiative (HIPC). Of the 24 countries that have qualified for HIPC debt relief, 20 are African, freeing up $1.2 billion this year to spend on health, education and other services. I am pleased that Ghana has opted for HIPC, and I hope that within the next month you will have reached Decision Point, and begin to get the benefits of debt relief. The UK has a 60 million development programme with Ghana. We are working with your Government on health and education, water, roads and bridges, and governance reform. I believe that on health in particular you are at the cutting edge of the new approach to development - with the UK and other donors pooling their resources in support of your own nationally-agreed health strategy. I hope that before too long, the whole of the donor community can go a step further - allocating all of their development resources in support of your Poverty Reduction Strategy. The UK is already doing this in Uganda, Tanzania and Mozambique. And I believe this approach is the way forward for development as a whole. Third - and this is critical - we need to recognise that the modern development agenda goes far wider than resource transfers, to embrace issues of trade and investment, conflict, governance and the environment. We need to look at all our policies in these areas to see what reforms are necessary to better assist the poorest countries in their development. Let me say something about two of these issues - trade and conflict. On trade, I know that Ghana has a particular interest in securing improved trading opportunities. Developed countries retain significant barriers to trade, particularly in agriculture. Access to EU agricultural markets is still restricted by the Common Agricultural Policy, including tariffs and seasonal levies. And although the market is open to tropical African agriculture and commodities, such as coffee and cocoa, tariffs of up to 300 per cent exist on some products. As I said in my speech in Nigeria yesterday, developed countries must practice what they preach, and cut these trade barriers. My other priority is conflict, a subject we have been discussing this morning We have published a paper today, setting out some proposals for the G8. Over the years, Ghana has played a crucial role in UN peacekeeping, including in Sierra Leone, and you have been an important stabilising force in the region. And of course in Kofi Annan you have an outstanding representative of your country leading the reform agenda in the UN, including its role in conflict prevention and resolution. I believe that the developed countries, particularly the G8, need to do more. Yesterday, I announced the establishment ofa special envoy for Sudan. We need similar energy and commitment to drive forward on the Lusaka peace process in the DRC. And we need to provide practical support for Africans to tackle conflict on the continent. This is a big agenda. I believe that it has never been more timely or necessary to forge such a partnership. The NEPAD process creates real potential on your side. On our side, through the G8 and in the wider international community there is a willingness and determination to work with you in new ways. Real advance is possible. Let's agree today to work together to make it happen.。
