HER MAJESTY the queen has asked me to form a new government and I have accepted。

女王陛下已經(jīng)授權予我組建新政府,我已接受了這一任命。

Before I talk about that new government, let me say something about the one that has just passed. Compared with a decade ago, this country is more open at home and more compassionate abroad, and that is something we should all be grateful for。

在談論新政府之前,請允許我談一談最近剛剛發(fā)生過的一件事情。與十年前相比,這個國家對內(nèi)更加開放,對外更加富有同情心,我們都應該為此感到高興。

On behalf of the whole country I’d like to pay tribute to the outgoing prime minister, for his long record of dedicated public service。

我謹代表這個國家,對長期致力于公共服務的前任首相深表贊揚。

In terms of the future, our country has a hung parliament where no party has an overall majority and we have some deep and pressing problems – a huge deficit, deep social problems and a political system in need of reform。

就未來而言,我們的議會無任何黨派占明顯多數(shù),我們面臨著一些深刻而緊迫的問題龐大的赤字、深刻的社會問題以及需要改革政治制度。

For those reasons, I aim to form a proper and full coalition between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. I believe that is the right way to provide this country with the strong, the stable, the good and decent government that I think we need so badly。

基于這些原因,我計劃在保守黨和自由民主黨間組建適當并充分的聯(lián)盟。我想,這是為國家提供一個我認為我們非常需要的強大、穩(wěn)定、完善、體面的政府的正確途徑。

Nick Clegg and I are both political leaders who want to put aside party differences and work hard for the common good and for the national interest. I believe that is the best way to get the strong government that we need, decisive government that we need today。

尼克?克萊格和我都是希望撇開黨派差異、為公益事業(yè)、為國家利益而努力的領導人。我認為,這是打造我們所需要的強大政府的最佳途徑,是打造今天我們需要的果斷的政府的最佳途徑。

I came into politics because I love this country, I think its best days still lie ahead and I believe deeply in public service. And I think the service our country needs right now is to face up to our really big challenges, to confront our problems, to take difficult decisions, to lead people through those difficult decisions, so that together we can reach better times ahead。

我之所以從政,是因為我熱愛這個國家,我相信最好的日子還在前面,我深信公共服務。我認為,服務國家最重要的是直面我們真正的大挑戰(zhàn),直面我們的問題,做出艱難的決定,并領導人民克服這些困難,這樣我們就能夠一起邁向更美好的明天。

One of the tasks that we clearly have is to rebuild trust in our political system. Yes, that’s about cleaning up expenses; yes, that’s about reforming parliament; and yes, it’s about making sure people are in control and that the politicians are always their servants and never their masters。

很明顯,我們的任務之一就是重建對政治體系的信任。是的,這就要求我們清理開支、改革議會、保證人民的主宰地位并確保政治家始終是人民的公仆,而非主人。

But I believe it’s also something else. It’s about being honest about what government can achieve. Real change is not what government can do on its own. Real change is when everyone pulls together, comes together, works together, when we all exercise our responsibilities to ourselves, to our families, to our communities and to others。

但是我相信還有其他方面。這關乎于要誠實地表現(xiàn)政府可能達到的業(yè)績。真正的變革不是僅靠政府之力就能完成的。真正的變革需要所有人齊心協(xié)力、眾志成城,需要我們每個人完成自己的責任,為自己,為家庭,為社會,也為其他人。
