丘吉尔二战经典演讲：热血、汗水和眼泪 (1940.5.13)
"BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS"
Winston Churchill (May 13, 1940 ) On Friday evening last I received from His Majesty the mission to form a new administration.
It was the evident will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest possible basis and that it should include all parties.
I have already completed the most important part of this task. A war cabinet has been formed of five members, reprenting, with the Labor, Opposition and Liberals, the unity of the nation.
It was necessary that this should be done in one single day on account of the extreme urg
ency and rigor of events. Other key positions were filled yesterday. I am submitting a further list to the King tonight. I hope to complete the appointment of principal Ministers during tomorrow.
The appointment of other Ministers usually takes a little longer. I trust when Parliament meets again this part of my task will be completed and that the administration will be complete in all respects.
I considered it in the public interest to suggest to the Speaker that the Hou should be summoned today. At the end of today's proceedings, the adjournment of the Hou will be propod until May 2l with provision for earlier meeting if need be. Business for that will be notified to M. P. 's at the earliest opportunity.
I now invite the Hou by a resolution to record its approval of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new government. The resolution:
"That this Hou welcomes the formation of a government reprenting the united and inflexible resolve of the nation to procute the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion."
To form an administration of this scale and complexity is a rious undertaking in itlf. But we are in the preliminary Pha of one of the greatest battles in history. We are in action at any other points-in Norway and in Holland-and we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean. The air battle is continuing, and many preparations have to be made here at home.

In this crisis I think I may be pardoned if I do not address the Hou 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.标学
I say to the Hou 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.

出人头地是什么意思 You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, a 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 surpasd in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.

清明祭文 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 impul of the ages, that mankind shall move forward toward his goal.
