BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS
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 costs-victory in spite of all terrors-victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.
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.
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."
熱血、辛勞、汗水和眼淚
值此危急關(guān)頭，我想，即使我今天向國會的報告過于簡略，也當(dāng)能見諒。我還希望所有在這次改組中受到影響的朋友、同僚和舊日的同僚們對必要的禮儀方面的任何不周之處能毫不介意。
我向國會表明，一如我向入閣的大臣們所表明的，我所能奉獻(xiàn)的唯有熱血、辛勞、眼淚和汗水我們所面臨的將是一場極其嚴(yán)酷的考驗，將是曠日持久的斗爭和苦難。
若問我們的政策是什么?我的回答是：在陸上、海上、空中作戰(zhàn)。盡我們的全力，盡上帝賦予我們的全部力量去作戰(zhàn)，對人類黑暗、可悲的罪惡史上空前兇殘的暴政作戰(zhàn)。這就是我們的政策。
若問我們的目標(biāo)是什么?我可以用一個詞來回答，那就是勝利。不惜一切代價，去奪取勝利——不懼一切恐怖，去奪取勝利——不論前路如何漫長、如何艱苦，去奪取勝利。因為沒有勝利就不能生存。
我們務(wù)必認(rèn)識到，沒有勝利就不復(fù)有大英帝國，沒有勝利就不復(fù)有大英帝國所象征的一切，沒有勝利就不復(fù)有多少世紀(jì)以來的強(qiáng)烈要求和沖動：人類應(yīng)當(dāng)向自己的目標(biāo)邁進(jìn)。
我精神振奮、滿懷信心地承擔(dān)起我的任務(wù)。我確信，大家聯(lián)合起來，我們的事業(yè)就不會遭到挫敗。
在此時此刻的危急關(guān)頭，我覺得我有權(quán)要求各方面的支持。我要說：“來吧，讓我們?nèi)翰呷毫Γ⒓缜斑M(jìn)!”
