membership, and have carried those things out.這就是為什么我們組建70年來(lái)第一屆聯(lián)合政府以便拯救瀕臨危機(jī)的英國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)。這就是為什么我們實(shí)施了公正合法、具有決定性意義的蘇格蘭公投。為什么我許諾要重新議定英國(guó)在歐盟的地位，舉行公投決定是否保留我們的成員國(guó)身份，并一一付諸實(shí)踐。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.我以我所知的唯一方式參與了這場(chǎng)運(yùn)動(dòng)——那就是把我思想上、情感中以及靈魂里的所想所感直接、熱情地表達(dá)出來(lái)。I held nothing

destination.在接下來(lái)的幾周甚至數(shù)月里，我會(huì)盡我所能以首相的身份維持國(guó)家穩(wěn)定，但是我認(rèn)為我不適合再擔(dān)任首相帶領(lǐng)這個(gè)國(guó)家駛向它的下一個(gè)目的地。This is not a decision I have taken lightly, but I do believe it is in the national interest to have a period of stability and then the new leadership required.這是我深思熟慮后做出的決定，我確信平穩(wěn)過(guò)渡到一位順應(yīng)形勢(shì)的新領(lǐng)袖符合國(guó)家利益。There is no need for a precise timetable

taking.英國(guó)央行行長(zhǎng)會(huì)起草聲明解釋央行和財(cái)政部為維護(hù)金融市場(chǎng)穩(wěn)定將采取的措施。我們也會(huì)繼續(xù)推進(jìn)女王議會(huì)演講擬定的重要立法事項(xiàng)。今天早上我已經(jīng)向女王陛下匯報(bào)，向她說(shuō)明了我將采取的行動(dòng)。A negotiation with the European Union will need to begin under a new Prime Minister, and I think it is right that this new Prime Minister takes the decision about when to trigger article 50 and start the formal and

allows.盡管我們不是十全十美/我們雖不完美，但我仍然相信我們可以樹(shù)立一個(gè)多種族多信仰的民主制典范。人們可以來(lái)這貢獻(xiàn)力量、施展才華、問(wèn)鼎人生/發(fā)揮全部才能，登上人生巔峰。

第二篇：英國(guó)首相卡梅倫辭職演講

這個(gè)國(guó)家剛剛進(jìn)行了一場(chǎng)大型的民主活動(dòng)，這也許是我們歷史上最大的一次。

超過(guò)三千三百萬(wàn)來(lái)自英格蘭、蘇格蘭、威爾士、北愛(ài)爾蘭和直布羅陀的人民表達(dá)了他們的聲音。

我們應(yīng)該為這個(gè)事實(shí)感到驕傲。在這片國(guó)土上，我們相信人民是重大的決策者。

我們不僅擁有議會(huì)民主制度，而且還在如何管理這個(gè)國(guó)家的問(wèn)題上，我們也會(huì)適時(shí)征求人民的意愿。對(duì)此我們已經(jīng)做到了。

英國(guó)人民投票選擇離開(kāi)歐盟，他們的意愿必須得到尊重。

我要感謝在這場(chǎng)活動(dòng)里和我持相同意見(jiàn)的每個(gè)人，這其中包括擯棄政黨偏見(jiàn)來(lái)表達(dá)他們對(duì)國(guó)家利益信念的所有人。同時(shí)，我也祝賀所有進(jìn)行脫歐活動(dòng)的人們，他們進(jìn)行了活躍和充滿熱情的活動(dòng)。

英國(guó)人民的意愿是必須執(zhí)行的指令。

這不是一個(gè)輕易做出的決定，并不僅僅是因?yàn)楸姸嗖煌M織對(duì)這一決定的重要性闡述了眾多觀點(diǎn)。

因此對(duì)這個(gè)結(jié)果不應(yīng)持有疑問(wèn)。全世界的人民都已經(jīng)看到了英國(guó)做出的決定。

我想對(duì)市場(chǎng)及投資者重申的是，英國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)基礎(chǔ)非常強(qiáng)勁。另外我也向居住在歐洲國(guó)家的英國(guó)公民以及在英國(guó)居住的歐洲公民保證，你們的現(xiàn)狀不會(huì)立刻發(fā)生改變。

我們的人民在出行方式上目前不會(huì)有任何改變。物品運(yùn)送、服務(wù)提供都將照常進(jìn)行。

我們現(xiàn)在必須做出準(zhǔn)備，與歐盟進(jìn)行協(xié)商。

協(xié)商需要蘇格蘭、威爾士以及北愛(ài)爾蘭政府的共同參與，以確保聯(lián)合王國(guó)各方面的利益都受到保護(hù)和推進(jìn)。

但要做到以上全部，我們需要強(qiáng)勁、堅(jiān)定且負(fù)責(zé)任的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。

我非常驕傲和榮幸能在過(guò)去的六年里擔(dān)任這個(gè)國(guó)家的首相。

我相信我們做出了巨大的進(jìn)步：就業(yè)人數(shù)從未如此之多；我們對(duì)福利和教育進(jìn)行改革，改善人民生活質(zhì)量、建設(shè)更大更強(qiáng)的社會(huì)；保持對(duì)全世界最貧困人民做出的承諾；不論性別因素，讓相愛(ài)的人們合法結(jié)婚。所有這一切都將讓英國(guó)繼續(xù)保持其經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)力。

我對(duì)幫助實(shí)現(xiàn)這一切的所有人表示感謝。

我始終相信，對(duì)重大決策，我們應(yīng)該面對(duì)，而不是回避。

這就是為什么我們成立了70年來(lái)首個(gè)聯(lián)合政府，帶領(lǐng)經(jīng)濟(jì)脫離瀕危邊緣。

這就是為什么我們?cè)谔K格蘭進(jìn)行了公正、合法、有決定意義的公投。

這也是為什么我做出承諾，與歐盟重新商議英國(guó)的地位、開(kāi)啟英國(guó)與歐盟關(guān)系的公投，并實(shí)現(xiàn)它們。

我以自己知道的唯一方法進(jìn)行著這個(gè)過(guò)程，那就是直接、用心地表達(dá)我內(nèi)心的想法和感受。

我沒(méi)有任何保留，我的立場(chǎng)很明確，英國(guó)在歐盟內(nèi)將會(huì)更加強(qiáng)大、安全和繁榮。我也強(qiáng)調(diào)了這次公投跟任何政客的前途，包括我自己，沒(méi)有任何關(guān)系。

但是英國(guó)民眾已經(jīng)做出了明確且不同的選擇，因此我認(rèn)為英國(guó)需要新的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人來(lái)帶領(lǐng)我們的國(guó)家向前。

我將以首相的身份盡我所能在未來(lái)幾個(gè)星期、幾個(gè)月中穩(wěn)定局面。但我認(rèn)為并不應(yīng)該由我作為領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人帶領(lǐng)我們的國(guó)家向新的目的地前進(jìn)。

這是我經(jīng)過(guò)慎重考慮做出的決定。但從國(guó)家利益出發(fā)，我認(rèn)為我們需要一段穩(wěn)定期，之后便需要更換新的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人。

我們不需要今天就制定一個(gè)詳細(xì)的時(shí)間進(jìn)度表，但是我認(rèn)為，在10月保守黨大會(huì)開(kāi)始之前，我們需要一個(gè)新的首相繼任。

保持穩(wěn)定是非常重要的，在接下來(lái)的三個(gè)月里，我將繼續(xù)作為首相和我的內(nèi)閣一起為大家服務(wù)。

內(nèi)閣將在周一舉行會(huì)談，英格蘭銀行行長(zhǎng)將發(fā)表聲明，闡釋央行與財(cái)政部關(guān)于確保金融市場(chǎng)穩(wěn)定采取的下一步措施。

我們也會(huì)繼續(xù)推進(jìn)在女王議會(huì)講話中制定的重要立法議程。

我今天早晨也跟女王陛下通話并告知我即將采取的行動(dòng)。

與歐盟的協(xié)商需要由新的首相開(kāi)啟，我認(rèn)為應(yīng)該由新任首相去決定何時(shí)啟動(dòng)《里斯本條約》第50條、開(kāi)啟脫離歐盟的正式法律程序。

我將在下周舉行的歐洲理事會(huì)會(huì)議上闡釋英國(guó)人民的選擇和我個(gè)人的決定。

英國(guó)人民已經(jīng)做出決定，這不僅需要被尊重；同時(shí)，失敗的一方，包括我本人在內(nèi)，還應(yīng)該努力去協(xié)助實(shí)現(xiàn)這一決定。

英國(guó)是一個(gè)特別的國(guó)家。我們擁有很多杰出的優(yōu)點(diǎn)：我們實(shí)行議會(huì)民主制，通過(guò)和平辯論的方式解決關(guān)乎未來(lái)的重要事項(xiàng)；我們是強(qiáng)大的貿(mào)易國(guó)家，科學(xué)和藝術(shù)、工程和創(chuàng)造力深受世界推崇。

雖然我們并不完美，但我相信我們能為多種族、多信仰的民主系統(tǒng)樹(shù)立典范。人們可以來(lái)到英國(guó)，做出貢獻(xiàn)并憑借才華能力達(dá)到自己的頂峰。

盡管離開(kāi)歐洲并不是我推崇的道路，但我是第一個(gè)贊揚(yáng)我們卓越力量的人。

以前我說(shuō)過(guò)，脫離歐盟英國(guó)也能繼續(xù)下去，我們肯定會(huì)找到一條出路。

現(xiàn)在決定已經(jīng)做出，英國(guó)脫離歐盟。我們需要找到最正確的方向，而我也將盡我所能去幫助實(shí)現(xiàn)它。

我熱愛(ài)這個(gè)國(guó)家，能夠?yàn)橹Яξ腋械绞肿院馈Ｎ磥?lái)我也將盡我所能去幫助這個(gè)偉大國(guó)家取得成功。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 of 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 are governed, there are times when it is right to ask the people themselves-and that is what we have done.The British people have voted to leave the European Union and their will must be respected.I want to thank everyone who took part in the campaign on my side of the argument, including all those who put aside party differences to speak in 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 that they

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

第三篇：英國(guó)首相卡梅倫辭職演講雙語(yǔ)全文

UK Votes to Leave EU 英國(guó)公投退歐

On June 24, in a historic referendum known as Brexit, the UK voted to leave the European Union(EU).Shortly after the Leave results were confirmed, the British pound began to fall drastically, and Prime Minister Cameron announced that he would be stepping down.Like Cameron, all of the other EU leaders had hoped that voters would choose to Remain.The process to officially leave the EU is expected to take at least two years.The next prime minister will likely take care of the negotiations.6月24日，英國(guó)舉行具有歷史意義的“Brexit”公投，英國(guó)選擇離開(kāi)歐盟。就在“退歐”公投后不久，英鎊急轉(zhuǎn)直下，英國(guó)首相卡梅倫宣布辭職。正如卡梅倫以及歐盟領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人一樣，都希望英國(guó)留歐。正式退歐進(jìn)程恐將至少持續(xù)兩年。下任總統(tǒng)將有可能處理談判事宜。

n 23 June, the UK finally settled the question that's been rumbling close to the surface of British politics for a generation: should the country remain within the European Union or go it alone.The final result went 52 to 48 per cent in favour of Brexitand, say campaigners, its voice was amplified on the world stage as a result.“The truth is that pulling up the drawbridge and quitting the EU will not enhance our national sovereignty,” warned Labour's Hilary Benn, who was sacked as shadow foreign secretary this week after complaining about Jeremy Corbyn's leadership.“All it would do is to weaken it by taking away our power to influence events in an ever more complex and interdependent world.” Nor, said Remainers, will UK sovereignty be absolute out of the EU: the British government would still be bound by membership of Nato, the UN, the World Trade Organisation, and various treaties and agreements with other nations.Immigration Under EU law, Britain cannot prevent anyone from another member state coming to live in the country – while Britons benefit from an equivalent right to live and work anywhere else in the EU.The result has been a huge increase in immigration into Britain, particularly from eastern and southern Europe.According to the Office for National Statistics, there are 942,000 eastern Europeans, Romanians and Bulgarians working in the UK, along with 791,000 western Europeans – and 2.93m workers from outside the EU.China and India are the biggest source of foreign workers in the UK.Remainers say that, while the recent pace of immigration has led to some difficulties with housing and service provision, the net effect has been overwhelmingly positive.By contrast, Farage insisted immigration should be cut dramatically, and that leaving the EU was the only way to “regain control of our borders”.Other pro-Brexit campaigners would not necessarily reduce immigration, but said that it should be up to the British Government to set the rules.Cameron claimed that the concessions he won during the renegotiation of Britain's EU membership would reduce immigration as new arrivals will receive a lower rate of child benefit.Jobs The effect of leaving the EU on British jobs depends on a complex interplay of the factors above: trade, investment and immigration.Pro-EU campaigners suggested that three million jobs could be lost if Britain goes it alone.However, while “figures from the early 2000s suggest around three million jobs are linked to trade with the European Union,” says Full Fact, “they don't say they are dependent on the UK being an EU member.” If trade and investment falls now the UK has voted for Brexit, then some of these jobs would be lost – but if they rose, then new jobs would be created.A drop in immigration would, all else being equal, mean more jobs for the people who remained, but labour shortages could also hold back the economy, reducing its potential for growth.Stuart Rose, former Marks & Spencer chief executive and a prominent pro-EU campaigner, conceded recently that wages may rise if Britain leaves – which would be good for workers, but less so for their employers.Writing for the London School of Economics, Professor Adrian Favell said limiting freedom of movement would deter the “brightest and the best” of the continent from coming to Britain and reduce the pool of candidates employers can choose from.Free movement of people across the EU also opened up job opportunities for British workers seeking to work elsewhere in Europe.Britain's place in the world For Outers, leaving the EU will allow Britain to re-establish itself as a truly independent nation with connections to the rest of the world.But Remainers fear that Brexit will result in the country giving up its influence in Europe, turning back the clock and retreating from the global power networks of the 21st century.Brexit would bring some clear-cut advantages, said The Economist before the referendum.The UK “would regain control over fishing rights around its coast”, for example.But it concluded that the most likely outcome would be that Britain would find itself “a scratchy outsider with somewhat limited access to the single market, almost no influence and few friends”.The UK will remain a member of Nato and the UN, but it may be regarded as a less useful partner by its key ally, the US.The American government said it feared that the “EU referendum is a dangerous gamble that could unravel with disastrous consequences for the entire continent”.Security Former work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith, who was in favour of Brexit, said we were leaving the “door open” to terrorist attacks by remaining in the EU.“This open border does not allow us to check and control people,” he said.However, a dozen senior military figures, including former chiefs of defence staff Lord Bramall and Jock Stirrup, argued the opposite.In a letter released by No 10, they said that the EU is an “increasingly important pillar of our security”, especially at a time of instability in the Middle East and in the face of “resurgent Russian nationalism and aggression”.Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has also said the UK benefitted from being part of the EU, as well as Nato and the United Nations.“It is through the EU that you exchange criminal records and passenger records and work together on counter-terrorism,” he said.“We need the collective weight of the EU when you are dealing with Russian aggression or terrorism.” In contrast, Colonel Richard Kemp, writing in The Times, said these “critical bilateral relationships” would persist regardless of membership, and that it was “absurd” to suggest that the EU would put its own citizens, or the UK's, at greater risk by reducing cooperation in the event of Brexit.“By leaving, we will again be able to determine who does and does not enter the UK,” said Kemp, a former head of the international terrorism team at the Cabinet Office.“Failure to do so significantly increases the terrorist threat here, endangers our people and is a betrayal of this country.”

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.這個(gè)國(guó)家剛剛進(jìn)行了一場(chǎng)大型的民主活動(dòng)，這也許是我們歷史上最大的一次。超過(guò)3300萬(wàn)來(lái)自英格蘭、蘇格蘭、威爾士、北愛(ài)爾蘭和直布羅陀的人民表達(dá)了他們的聲音。

We should be proud of the fact that in these islands we trust the people with these big decisions.我們應(yīng)該為這個(gè)事實(shí)感到驕傲。在這片國(guó)土上，我們相信這些島嶼上人民做出重大選擇。

The British people have voted to leave the European Union and their will must be respected.英國(guó)人民投票選擇離開(kāi)歐盟，他們的意愿必須得到尊重。

I want to thank everyone who took part in the campaign on my side of the argument, including all those who put asideparty differences to speak in what they believed was the national interest.我要感謝在這場(chǎng)公投里和我持相同意見(jiàn)的每個(gè)人，這其中包括擯棄政黨偏見(jiàn)來(lái)表達(dá)他們對(duì)國(guó)家利益信念的所有人。

第五篇：英國(guó)首相卡梅倫辭職演講(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 what 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 in 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 decision 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 Briton 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 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 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, keeping 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 Scotland.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 the British 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 had made a very clear decision to take a different path.And as such I think the country require fresh leadership to take it in this direction.I will do everything what 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 to have a new prime minister in place by the start of the Conservative Party conference in October.Delivering stability would be important, and I would continue in post as Prime Minister with my Cabinet for the next three month.The Cabinet will meet on Monday.The Governor of theBank of England is making a statement about the steps that the Bank and the Treasury are taking to reassure financial markets.We will also continuetaking forward the important legislation that we set in the Parliamentary in the Queen’s Speech.And I’ve spoken to Her Majesty the Queen this morning to advice our steps that I am taking.A negotiation with 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 triggerArticle 50and start the formal and legal processes of leaving the EU.I would attend the European Council next week to explain the decision that British people have taken and my own decision.The British people have made a choice that not only needs to be respected but those on the losing side of the argument myself included should help to make it work.Briton is a special country.We have so many great advantages, a parliamentary democracy where we resolve great issues about our future through peaceful debate, a great trading nation with our science and arts our engineering and our creativity,respected the world though.And while we are not perfect I do believe we can be a model for the multi-racial, multi-faith democracy where people can come and make a contribution and rise to the very highest that their talent allows.Although leaving Europewas not the path I recommended, I am the first to praise our incredible strengths.I said before that Britain can survive outside the European Union, and indeed we could find a way.Now the decision has been made to leave, we need to find the best way.And I will do everything I can to help, I love this country andI feel honored to have served it, and I will do everything I can in future to help this great country succeed.Thank you very much.
