篇章1:英国首相卡梅伦xxxxxxx-2021英语演讲稿
It's a New Year. And with our economy growing and a strong, majority government in power,Britain begins it with renewed strength.
There are no New Year's resolutions for us, just an ongoing resolve to deliver what wepromised.
Security – at every stage of your life.
Over 31 million people will begin the year in
work – more than any in our history.
Six million children will start the new term at a good or outstanding school.
More than half a million workers will be taken
out of income tax in April, as everyone apart fromthe very best paid gets a tax cut and, for the lowest paid, there will be a new National LivingWage.
Meanwhile, millions more will benefit from the
free childcare, new academies, rising pensionsand
extra apprenticeships that we committed to in our manifesto, all as a result of our long-term economic plan.
We also promised something else in our manifesto: giving you a say on Europe. Now we aredelivering on that promise. There will be an in-out referendum by the end of 2019 – it iswritten into the law of the land. I am negotiating hard to fix the things that most annoy Britishpeople about our relationship with the EU.
There is just one thing that drives me: what is best for the national interest of our country?
But in the end it will be for you to decide: is our economic and national security in a dangerousworld better protected by being in, or out?
We also go into the year confronting some deep social problems, ones that have blighted ourcountry
for too long.
I want 2019 to be the time when we really start
to conquer them – a crucial year in this greatturnaround decade.
Because with economic renewal and social reform, we can make everyone's lives moresecure.
So if you're one of the many hard-working young people locked out of the housing market, wewill deliver the homes that will help lead you to your own front door.
If you're off school or out of work, trapped in an underworld of addiction, abuse, crime andchaos, we will sweep away state failure and help give you stability.
If your dreams have been dashed simply because of who you are, we will fight discriminationand deliver real opportunity, to help lay your path to success.
And we will take on another social problem, too.
When our national security is threatened by a seething hatred of the west, one that turnspeople against their country and can even turn them into murderous extremists. I want us tobe very clear: you
will not defeat us. And we will not just confront the violence and theterror.
We will take on their underlying, poisonous narrative of grievance and resentment. Wewill come down hard on those who create the conditions for that narrative to flourish. And wewill have greater confidence in – indeed, we will revel in – our way of life.
Because if you walk our streets, learn in our schools, benefit from our society, you sign up toour values: freedom; tolerance; responsibility; loyalty.
These are the big challenges of our age, some of the biggest our nation has ever faced. And thisyear is a test of our mettle.
Whether we put up with poverty – or put an end
to it, ignore the glass ceiling – or smash it,abandon the tenant – or help make them a homeowner, appease the extremist – or takeapart their ideology, piece by piece.
We'll get Britain a better deal in Europe, give families the peace of mind they crave and we'llmake our country even more secure.
That's what this year – this turnaround decade
– is all about.
So let me wish everyone the very best and a very Happy New Year.

i want to send my best wishes to everyone celebrating vaisakhi this year. this is a hugely important time for sikhs across britain and around the world, for them to come together with friends and family to celebrate the birth of the faith.
160 years ago, the first sikh arrived in britain. since then, sikhs have more than made theirmark here – in business, in public services, in sport, culture, charity and beyond.
vaisakhi gives us a chance to celebrate that immense contribution and to share the successstories of british sikhs: of people like tom singh, who expanded a single clothes shop into achain of 1,000 new look stores around the world. like paul uppal, the self-made businessman,who is the only sikh mp serving in the house of commons. like ravi singh, from the charitykhalsa aid, who rallied the community during the recent flooding to help with the clean-up.and like the remarkable marathon runner fauja singh –“the turbaned tornado” – who, atover 100, is still running and still inspiring millions.
XX also marks 100 years since the outbreak of the first world war. during that conflict, wellover a million men from india fought for britain. many thousands of them were sikhs – andmany made the ultimate sacrifice. from the trenches of the somme, to the deserts of themiddle east, they demonstrated the bravery and the courage that is so synonymous withsikhism so i hope we can all pause this vaisakhi
to remember those who fought and fell for thefreedoms we enjoy today.
vaisakhi is also a special time for hindus, who are celebrating the beginning of their new year.we salute their ancestors’ remarkable role in the first world war, and their role in british lifetoo. so as we think about the contribution of these faith communities, past and present, letme, once again, wish everyone a very happy vaisakhi.

卡梅伦首相发表文章：永恒的莎士比亚(双语)
Shakespeare Lives 永恒的莎士比亚 British Prime Minister David Cameron 英国首相大卫·卡梅伦 This year’s four hundredth anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare is not just an opportunity to commemorate1 one of the greatest playwrights2 of all time. It is a moment to celebrate the extraordinary ongoing3 influence of a man who – to borrow from his own description of Julius Caesar –“doth bestride the narrow world like a Colossus.” 今年是英国戏剧大师威廉·莎士比亚去世400周年。我们怀念他的伟大作品，也向他永存于世的影响力致敬。正如名剧《裘力斯·凯撒》中的台词，“他像一位巨人，跨越了这狭隘的世界”。 Shakespeare’s legacy4 is without parallel: his works translated into over 100 languages and studied by half the world’s schoolchildren. As one of his conte mporaries, Ben Jonson, said: “Shakespeare is not of an age, but for all time.” He lives today in our language, our culture and society – and through his enduring influence on education. 莎翁的作品被翻译成100多种语言，被全世界一半的学生诵读，其传播之广，前所未有。同时代的剧作家本·琼森曾说，“莎士比亚超越了时代，他将永世不朽。”今天，他仍然活在我们的语言、文化和社会中，对教育的影响弥久常新。 Shakespeare played a critical role in shaping modern English and helping5to make it the world’s language. The first major dictionary compiled by Samuel Johnson drew on Shakespeare more than any other writer. Three thousand new words and phrases all first appeared in print in Shakespeare’s plays. I remember from my own childhood how many of them are found for the first time in Henry V. Words like dishearten, divest6, addiction7, motionless, leapfrog – and phrases like “once more unto the breach”, “band of brothers” and “heart of gold” – have all passed into our language today with no need to reference their original context. Shakespeare also pioneered innovative8 use of grammatical form and structure – including verse without rhymes, superlatives and the connecting of existing words to make new words, like bloodstained – while the pre-eminence of his plays also did much to standardise spelling and grammar. 莎翁在构建现代英语，使之成为全球通用语方面发挥了关键作用。塞缪尔·约翰逊编纂的《英语大辞典》中引用莎翁的句子，比其他作家都多。莎翁剧本中创造的英语新词、新短语多达三千。历史剧《亨利五世》中不少第一次出现的词，如dishearten、divest、addiction、motionless和leapfrog，以及短语，如once more unto the breach、band of brothers 和heart of gold，都沿用至今，成了耳熟能详的词汇。他在语法形式和结构方面亦有创新，如无韵诗、最高级和组合现有词汇形成新词方面(如bloodstained)，而他的一些杰出剧作也对拼写和语法的标准化发挥了作用。 But Shakespeare’s influence is felt far beyond our language. His words, his plots and his characters continue to inspire much of our culture and wider society. Nelson Mandela, while a prisoner on Robben Island, cherished a quote from Julius Caesar which said “Cowards die many times before their death,
五分钟幽默哲理演讲稿
五分钟幽默哲理演讲稿 相信大家对演讲稿都不陌生，那么，有关幽默哲理的演讲稿如何写呢?了范文，供大家参考。 各位领导、老师、同学们: 大家好!今天，我演讲的题目是“养成良好的习惯”。 有这样一个故事:很久以前，有个小和尚，想学会理发来帮寺庙的和尚剃发。于是他就开始用冬瓜练习，只是每次打水洗冬瓜时总要顺手把剃刀插到冬瓜上。没多久就学会了如何剃发，当他第一次帮人剃发，去打水洗头时，“顺手”把剃刀插了上去。结果可想而知，小和尚成了杀人犯。 究竟是什么给小和尚的一片好心带来害人害已的结果呢? 答案很简单。就是因为他用冬瓜作练习时养成了把剃刀插向冬瓜的习惯，尽管为自己的师兄剃发时心里想着这是人不是冬瓜，但手却不听使唤，习惯性地把刀插了上去，因此，是那个小小的坏习惯害了他。 虽然这个故事有几分夸张，我们也不可能会是一个为别人理发的小和尚。可是同学们，你们有没有类似的坏习惯呢?比如:随地吐痰、随意骂人、说脏话、随手乱扔乱撂、经常大声喧哗、在楼道里追逐打闹、自习课上说话等，如果有，它们迟早会给你带来或大或小的麻烦。 这个故事再一次告诫我们:坏的习惯一旦养成，即使是很小的，也不容易改掉，最终会给自己和他人带来危害。
所以，我们平时要养成一些好的习惯，良好的习惯能够使我们在各个方面受益匪浅:平时不浪费一分一秒，努力学习就会使成绩上升;尽自己的一份力维持班级的卫生，就很有可能使班集体成为“卫生模范班”，如果每个同学都这样，学校也会变得干净漂亮，我们在其中学习、生活也会心情舒畅;平时坚持锻炼身体，就可能在运动会上一展风采;帮同学讲解问题，也许会使自己有新的发现;在家中帮父母做一些力所能及的家务，自己能做的事自己做，不给父母增添不必要的麻烦…… 同学们，良好的习惯是成功的一半，养成良好的习惯，从现在，从自我开始吧! 谢谢大家! 同学们: 大家好! 我的演讲从一个小故事开始——在一个深深的鼠洞里，一个老鼠家族正在召开会议，会议的中心是怎样在觅食的时候及时发现那只喜欢搞突袭的黑猫。不一会儿，一只小老鼠想出一个好办法——在黑猫的脖子上挂一只铃铛。话一说完，大家齐声说好，但接下来却都沉默了，因为没有哪一只老鼠敢去挂这只铃铛。 这个故事不禁让我浮现出一个念头:与行动相比，有时候，幻想或想象其实是一件再舒服不过的事——它没有风险，无需胆量，不受约束。你想尝试冬泳，便可以尽情地想象着数九寒天在冰冷刺骨的河水中游弋的豪迈;你想尝试弹琴，便可以尽情想象自己在高高的舞台
英国首相卡梅伦2019年锡克教丰收节英语演讲稿
英国首相卡梅伦2019年锡克教丰收节英语演讲稿 I send my best wishes to everyone in India, Britain and around the world celebrating Vaisakhi. I know this is an incredibly important time for the Sikh community as families and friendscome together to commemorate the birth of the Khalsa and give thanks. From Southall toSunderland, from Ottawa to Amritsar, Sikhs around the world will be marking Vaisakhi withvibrant parades and celebrations with homes, Gurdwaras and entire neighbourhoods burstinginto life with decorations and colour. Vaisakhi also gives us a chance to celebrate the immense contribution of British Sikhs, whohave enriched our country for over 160 years. Whether it is in the fields of enterprise orbusiness, education, public service or civil society, Britain’s Sikhs are a success story and modelcommunity. And I see this contribution every day, all around. Like at the magnificent Gurdwara SahibLeamington, where I saw for myself the values of Sikhism – of compassion, peace and equality– in practice. And across the country I see how Sikh and Asian businessmen and women areboosting the economy by creating jobs and opportunities. But this contribution is not
一生必读英文经典美文：追求人生的完整
一生必读英文经典美文：追求人生的完整导语：人生很多的东西都在于你如何去追求。如果不去努力那么你永远 停留在平形线上。下面是我整理了关于追求人生的完整的英语美文，供大家 参阅。 Once a circle missed a wedge. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away. 从前有个圆圈，它丢失了一小段。它想变得完整，于是它到处寻找它所 丢失的那部分。由于不完整，它只能滚的非常慢。在路上，它羡慕过花儿， 它与虫子聊过天，它享受了阳光的照耀。它遇到过很多不同的小段，可是没 有一个适合它。所以它把它们丢在路边，继续寻找。有一天，圆圈找到了可 以与它完美结合的一小段，它非常高兴。它现在终于完整了，不缺任何东西

生生觅知己。 当然，也有“青山处处埋忠骨，何必马革裹尸还”的慷慨忠歌和“替天行道，揭竿而起”的英雄壮举；也有“人生自古谁无死，留取丹心照汗青”的浩然正气；更有“天下为公、立党为公、一心为公”的豁达胸怀。 没有目标，你就会感到空虚和无聊。要谋求成功和幸福，我们的人生就不能没有一个目标。目标对于成功，犹如空气对于生命，没有目标的人不可能成功。 如果一艘轮船在大海中失去了方向，就会在海上打转，直到把燃料用完，仍然到达不了岸边。事实上，它所用掉的燃料，已足以使它来往于大海两岸好几次。一个人如果没有明确的目标以及达到这些目标的明确计划，不管他如何努力工作，都像是一艘失去方向舵的轮船。 你必须首先确定自己想干什么，然后才能达到自己确定的目标。同样，你应该首先明确自己想成为怎样的人，然后才能把自己造就成那样的有用之才。目标会使你胸怀远大的抱负；目标会在你失败时赋予你再去尝试的勇气；目标会使你不断向前奋进；目标会使你避免倒退，不再为过去担忧；目标会使理想中的“我”与现实中的“我”统一。 1953年，美国哈佛大学曾对当时的应届毕业生做过一次调查，询问他们是否对自己的未来有清晰明确的目标，以及达成目标的书面计划，结果只有不到百分之三的学生有肯定
英国首相卡梅伦辞职演讲(英文稿)
Good morning everyone. The country has just taken part in a giant democratic exercise , perhaps the biggest in our history. Over 33 million people from England, Scotland,Wales, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar have all had their say. We should be proud the fact that in these islands we trust the people with these big decisions, we not only have a parliamentary democracy but on questions about the arrangements for how we’ve governed, there are times when it is right to ask the people themselves, and that is w hat we have done. The British people have voted to leave the European Union, and their will must be respected. I want to thank every one who took part in campaign on my side of the argument, including all those who put aside party differences, to speak i n what they believed was the national interest. And let me congratulate all those who took part in the “Leave Campaign”for the spirited and passionate case they made. The will of the British people is an instruction that must be delivered . It was not a d ecision that was taken lightly, not least because so many thing were said by many different organizations about the significance of this decision. So there can be no doubt about the result. Across the world people have been watching the choice that Brito n has made. I would reassure those markets and investors that Britain’s economy is fundamentally strong. And I would also reassure the Brits in the European countries and European citizens living here that there would be no immediate changes in your circum stances,there will be no initial change in the way our people can travel, in the way our goods can move or the way our services can be sold. We must now prepare for a negotiation with the European Union. This will need to involve full engagement of the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland governments to ensure that the interests of all parts of our United Kingdom are protected and advanced. But above all, this will require strong, determined and committed leadership. I am very proud and very honored to be Prime Minister of this country for six years. I believe we’ve made great steps with more people in work than ever before in our history,with reforms to welfare and education, increasing people’s life chances, building a bigger and stronger society, keepin g our promises to the poorest people in the world, and enabling those who love each other to get married whatever their sexuality. But above all restoring Britain’s economic strength. And I am grateful to everyone who’s helped to make that happen. I have also always believed that we have to confront big decisions, not doubt them. That is why we deliveredthe firstcoalition government in seventy years to bring our economy back from the brink. It is why we delivered a fair, legal and decisive referendum in S cotland. And it’s why I made the pledge to renegotiate Britain’s position in the European Union and to hold the referendum on our membership and have carried those things out. I fought this campaign in the only way I know how which is to say directly and p assionately what I think and feel head, heart and soul. I held nothing back. I was absolutely clear about my belief that the British is stronger safer and better off in side the European Union. And I made clear the referendum was about this and this alone not the future of any single politician including myself.

有哲理的英语演讲稿
we are the world ,we are the future someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. i don’t know who wrote these words, but i’ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. we are all in the position of the farmers. if we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. if we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all. we are young. “how to spend the youth?” it is a meaningful question. to answer it, first i have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” youth is not a time of life, it’s a state of mind. it’s not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. it’s the matter of the will. it’s the freshness of the deep spring of life. a poet said “to see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. several days ago, i had a chance to listen to a lecture. i learnt a lot there. i’d like to share it with all of you. let’s show our right palms. we can see three lines that show how our love.career and life is. i have a short line of life. what about yours? i wondered whether we could see our future in this way. well, let’s make a fist. where is our future? where is our love, career, and life? tell me.yeah, it is in our hands. it is held in ourselves. we all want the future to be better than the past. but the future can go better itself. don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened. from the past, we’ ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. we’ve learnt that we can’ t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. failure doesn’t mean you don’ t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way. failure doesn’t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder. as what i said at the beginning, “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. the past has gone. nothing we do will change it. but the future is in front of us. believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us. and from today on, let’s be the owners of ourselves, and speak out “we are the world, we are the future.” 世界是我们的，未来是我们的 一些人说“我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。”我不知道谁写了这些话，但 是我一直很喜欢它，因为它提醒了我，我们能够创造我们想要的未来。 我们都是农夫。如果我们播下好的种子，我们将会丰收。如果我们的种子很差，有很多 草籽，收割的将是无用的庄稼。如果我们什么也不播种，什么收获也没有。 我们是年轻的。“怎样度过青春？”这是个有意义的问题。为了去回答它，我首先要问“从? 青春?这个词中你能理解到什么？”青春不是人生的一个时期，而是精神的一种状态。青春 不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，。青春是生命的深泉在涌流. 一位诗人说“从一粒沙看世界，从一朵花看天堂，把无限放在你的手掌，永恒在一刹那 里收藏”。几天前，我有了一个听讲座的机会，从中我学到了很多东西。现在，我想把这些与 大家共享。让我们伸出右手，我们可以看到手掌中的展示我们的爱，事业和生活的三条线。 我在生活方面这条线很短，那你们的呢？我想知道我们是否可以用这种办法去看我们的未来。 好的，让我们一起握拳。我们的未来在哪儿？我们的爱、事业和生活在哪儿？告诉我！是的， 它们就在我们的手中。它们被我们自己掌握着。

The will of the British people is an instruction that must be delivered. It was not a decision that was taken lightly, not least because so many things were said by so many different organisations about the significance of this decision. So there can be no doubt about the result. Across the world people have been watching the choice that Britain has made. I would reassure those markets and investors that Britain's economy is fundamentally strong and I would also reassure Britons living in European countries and European citizens living here there will be no immediate changes in your circumstances. There will be no initial change in the way our people can travel, in the way our goods can move or the way our services can be sold. We must now prepare for a negotiation with the European Union. This will need to involve the full engagement of the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland governments to ensure that the interests of all parts of our United Kingdom are protected and advanced. But above all this will require strong, determined and committed leadership. I'm very proud and very honoured to have been Prime Minister of this country for six years.

And it's why I made the pledge to renegotiate Britain's position in the European Union and to hold the referendum on our membership and have carried those things out. I fought this campaign in the only way I know how, which is to say directly and passionately what I think and feel - head, heart and soul. I held nothing back, I was absolutely clear about my belief that Britain is stronger, safer and better off inside the European Union and I made clear the referendum was about this and this alone - not the future of any single politician including myself. But the British people have made a very clear decision to take a different path and as such I think the country requires fresh leadership to take it in this direction. I will do everything I can as Prime Minister to steady the ship over the coming weeks and months but I do not think it would be right for me to try to be the captain that steers our country to its next destination. This is not a decision I've taken lightly but I do believe it's in the national interest to have a period of stability and then the new leadership required. There is no need for a precise timetable today but in my view we should aim to have a new prime minister in place by the start of the Conservative Party conference in October. Delivering stability will be important and I will continue in post as Prime Minister with my Cabinet for the next three months. The Cabinet will meet on Monday, the Governor of the Bank of England is making a statement about the steps that the Bank and the Treasury are taking to reassure financial markets. We will also continue taking forward the important legislation that we set before Parliament in the Queen's Speech. And I have spoken to Her Majesty the Queen this morning to advise her of the steps that I am taking. A negotiation with the European Union will need to begin under a new prime minister and I think it's right that this new prime minister takes the decision about when to trigger Article 50 and start the formal and legal process of leaving the EU. I will attend the European Council next week to explain the decision the British people have taken and my own decision.
