这是丘吉尔1940年5月13日在下院发表的首相就职演讲，内容大概如下：“我所能奉贤的，只有热血和辛劳，眼泪和汗水。
你们问：我们的政策是什么？我说，我们的政策就是用上帝所给予我们的全部能力和全部力量，在海上.陆地上和空中进行战争。
同一个邪恶悲惨的人类罪恶史上从为见过的穷凶极恶的暴政进行战争。
你们问：我们的目的是什么？我可以用一个词来答复：胜利————不惜一切代价去争取胜利，无论多么恐怖也要去争取胜利；无论道路多么遥远和艰难，也要去争取胜利；因为没有胜利，就不能生存。
在这个时候，我觉得我有权要求大家的支持，我说：起来，让我们联合起来，共同前进！”热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水（）丘吉尔星期五晚上，我接受了英王陛下的委托，组织新政府。
这次组阁，应包括所有的政党，既有支持上届政府的政党，也有上届政府的反对党，显而易见，这是议会和国家的希望与意愿。
我已完成了此项任务中最重要的部分。
战时内阁业已成立，由5位阁员组成，其中包括反对党的自由主义者，代表了举国一致的团结。
三党领袖已经同意加入战时内阁，或者担任国家高级行政职务。
三军指挥机构已加以充实。
由于事态发展的极端紧迫感和严重性，仅仅用一天时间完成此项任务，是完全必要的。
其他许多重要职位已在昨天任命。
我将在今天晚上向英王陛下呈递补充名单，并希望于明日一天完成对政府主要大臣的任命。
其他一些大臣的任命，虽然通常需要更多一点的时间，但是，我相信会议再次开会时，我的这项任务将告完成，而且本届政府在各方面都将是完整无缺的。
我认为，向下院建议在今天开会是符合公众利益的。
议长先生同意这个建议，并根据下院决议所授予他的权力，采取了必要的步骤。
今天议程结束时，建议下院休会到5月21日星期二。
丘吉尔铁幕演说原文5篇
丘吉尔铁幕演说原文5篇第一篇：丘吉尔铁幕演说原文丘吉尔铁幕演说原文丘吉尔铁幕演说原文是作为英国首相的丘吉尔在1946年3月5日在美国富尔顿发表的反苏、反共演说。
也正因为此铁幕演说正式拉开了冷战的序幕。
下面是这篇丘吉尔铁幕演说原文丘吉尔铁幕演说原文美国此刻正高踞于世界权力的顶峰。
对美国民主来说这是一个庄严的时刻。
拥有最大的力量。
也就是对未来负有令人敬畏的责任。
放眼四顾，你不但觉得已经尽了应尽的责任，也感到忧虑，恐怕以后的成就未必能达到这样高的水平。
对你我两国来说现在都有一个机会在这里，一个明确的、光彩夺目的机会。
如果拒绝、忽视、或糟蹋这个机会，我们将受到后世长期的责备。
当美国的军事人员在立场严重的局势时，他们习惯于在他们的指令的头上写上'全面战略概念'字样。
这种做法是明智的，因为它能使思想明朗化。
那么，什么是我们为今天所应题写的全面战略概念呢?它不应该低于在一切地方的所有男女的所有家庭的安全和幸福以及自由和进步。
……为了使这些无数的家庭得到安全，必须保护他们，使他们不受两个可怕的掠夺者——战争和暴政——的侵犯。
为了防止战争这一主要目的已经建立了一个世界组织。
……我们必须使这一切得到肯定。
它的工作是有成果的，它是一种现实而不是一种假象，它是一种行动力量而不仅只是语言的空谈，它是一种真正的和平之宫而不仅只是纷纷扰扰争吵的场所……然而，我有一个明确而实际的行动建议要提出来。
宫廷和地方行政长官没有县吏和皂吏就不能办事。
因此，必须马上着手给联合国配备一支国际武装力量。
在这个问题上，只能一步一步来，但我们必须从现在开始着手做。
我建议，应邀请每一个大国和其它成员国派出一定数量的空军中队，为这个世界性组织服役。
这些中队将由本国训练和筹备，但在各国轮流驻扎。
他们身着本国的军服，佩戴不同的徽章。
不能要求他们对自己的国家作战，但在其它方面将受这世界性组织的指挥。
这个办法可以小规模地实行起来，让它随着我们信心的增长而扩大。

丘吉尔演讲blood,toil,tearsandsweat
Blood, Toil, Tears and SweatFirst Speech as Prime MinisterMay 13, 1940to House of CommonsOn May 10, 1940, Winston Churchill became Prime Minister. When he met his Cabinet on May 13 he told them that "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat." He repeated that phrase later in the day when he asked the House of Commons for a vote of confidence in his new all-party government. The response of Labour was heart-warming; the Conservative reaction was luke-warm. They still really wanted Neville Chamberlain. For the first time, the people had hope but Churchill commented to General Ismay: "Poor people, poor people. They trust me, and I can give them nothing but disaster for quite a long time."I beg to move,That this House welcomes the formation of a Government representing the united and inflexible resolve of the nation to prosecute the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion.On Friday evening last I received His Majesty's commission to form a new Administration. It as the evident wish and will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest possible basis and that it should include all parties, both those who supported the late Government and also the parties of the Opposition. I have completed the most important part of this task.A War Cabinet has been formed of five Members, representing, with the Opposition Liberals, the unity of the nation. The three party Leaders have agreed to serve, either in the War Cabinet or in high executive office. The three Fighting Services have been filled. It was necessary that this should be done in one single day, on account of the extreme urgency and rigour of events.A number of other positions, key positions, were filled yesterday, and I am submitting a further list to His Majesty to-night. I hope to complete the appointment of the principal Ministers duringto-morrow. the appointment of the other Ministers usually takes a little longer, but I trust that, 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 that the House should be summoned to meet today. Mr. Speaker agreed, and took the necessary steps, in accordance with the powers conferred upon him by the Resolution of the House. At the end of the proceedings today, the Adjournment of the House will be proposed until Tuesday, 21st May, with, of course, provision for earlier meeting, if need be. The business to be considered during that week will be notified to Members at the earliest opportunity. I now invite the House, by the Motion which stands in my name, to record its approval of the steps taken and to declare its confidence in the new Government.To form an Administration of this scale and complexity is a serious undertaking in itself, but it must be remembered that we are in the preliminary stage of one of the greatest battles in history, that we are in action at many other points in Norway and in Holland, that we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean, that the air battle is continuous and that many preparations, such as have been indicated by my hon. Friend below the Gangway, have to be made here at home. In this crisis I hope I may be pardoned if I do not address the House at any length today. I hope that any of my friends and colleagues, or former colleagues, who are affected by the political reconstruction, will make allowance, all allowance, for any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act. I would say to the House, as I said to those 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 long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy I can say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, 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 terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. Let that be realised; no survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge and impulse of the ages, that mankind will move forward towards its goal. But I take up my task with buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. At this time I feel entitled to claim the aid of all, and I say, "come then, let us go forward together with our united strength."热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水星期五晚上，我接受了英王陛下的委托，组织新政府。
《至暗时刻》：丘吉尔最震撼演讲
《至暗时刻》：丘吉尔最震撼演讲电影《至暗时刻》中，1940年5月13日下午，丘吉尔发表了鼓舞英国人民同法西斯德国战斗的演讲，精彩部分如下（英汉对照）：We Shall Fight on the BeachesWe shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills;我们将战斗到底。
我们将在法国作战，我们将在海洋中作战，我们将以越来越大的信心和越来越强的力量在空中作战，我们将不惜一切代价保卫本土，我们将在海滩作战，我们将在敌人的登陆点作战，我们将在田野和街头作战，我们将在山区作战；we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.我们绝不投降，即使我们这个岛屿或这个岛屿的大部分被征服并陷于饥饿之中——我从来不相信会发生这种情况——我们在海外的帝国臣民，在英国舰队的武装和保护下也会继续战斗，直到新世界在上帝认为适当的时候，拿出它所有一切的力量来拯救和解放这个旧世界。

5月10日下午6时，国王召见丘吉尔，令其组阁；一小时后丘吉尔会见工党领袖艾德礼，邀请工党加入内阁并获得支持。
3天后丘吉尔首次以首相身份出席下议院会议，发表了著名的讲话：“我没有别的，只有热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水献给大家??你们问：我们的目的是什么？我可以用一个词来答复：胜利，不惜一切代价去争取胜利，无论多么恐怖也要争取胜利，无论道路多么遥远艰难，也要争取胜利，因为没有胜利就无法生存。

我希望明天就能完成几位主要大臣的任命。
其余大臣们的任命照例得晚一些。
我相信，在国会下一次召开时，任命将告完成，臻于完善。

这是丘吉尔1940年5月13日在下院发表的首相就职演讲，内容大概如下：“我所能奉献的，只有热血和辛劳，眼泪和汗水。
你们问：我们的政策是什么？我说，我们的政策就是用上帝所给予我们的全部能力和全部力量，在海上.陆地上和空中进行战争。
同一个邪恶悲惨的人类罪恶史上从为见过的穷凶极恶的暴政进行战争。
你们问：我们的目的是什么？我可以用一个词来答复：胜利————不惜一切代价去争取胜利，无论多么恐怖也要去争取胜利；无论道路多么遥远和艰难，也要去争取胜利；因为没有胜利，就不能生存。
在这个时候，我觉得我有权要求大家的支持，我说：起来，让我们联合起来，共同前进！” 热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水（1940.5.13）丘吉尔星期五晚上，我接受了英王陛下的委托，组织新政府。
这次组阁，应包括所有的政党，既有支持上届政府的政党，也有上届政府的反对党，显而易见，这是议会和国家的希望与意愿。
我已完成了此项任务中最重要的部分。
战时内阁业已成立，由5位阁员组成，其中包括反对党的自由主义者，代表了举国一致的团结。
三党领袖已经同意加入战时内阁，或者担任国家高级行政职务。
三军指挥机构已加以充实。
由于事态发展的极端紧迫感和严重性，仅仅用一天时间完成此项任务，是完全必要的。
其他许多重要职位已在昨天任命。
我将在今天晚上向英王陛下呈递补充名单，并希望于明日一天完成对政府主要大臣的任命。
其他一些大臣的任命，虽然通常需要更多一点的时间，但是，我相信会议再次开会时，我的这项任务将告完成，而且本届政府在各方面都将是完整无缺的。
我认为，向下院建议在今天开会是符合公众利益的。
议长先生同意这个建议，并根据下院决议所授予他的权力，采取了必要的步骤。
今天议程结束时，建议下院休会到5月21日星期二。
当然，还要附加规定，如果需要的话，可以提前复会。
下周会议所要考虑的议题，将尽早通知全体议员。
现在，我请求下院，根据以我的名义提出的决议案，批推已采取的各项步骤，将它记录在案，并宣布对新政府的信任。
组成一届具有这种规模和复杂性的政府，本身就是一项严肃的任务。
但是大家一定要记住，我们正处在历史上一次最伟大的战争的初期阶段，我们正在挪威和荷兰的许多地方进行战斗，我们必须在地中海地区做好准备，空战仍在继续，众多的战备工作必须在国内完成。
在这危急存亡之际，如果我今天没有向下院做长篇演说，我希望能够得到你们的宽恕。
我还希望，因为这次政府改组而受到影响的任何朋友和同事，或者以前的同事，会对礼节上的不周之处予以充分谅解，这种礼节上的欠缺，到目前为止是在所难免的。
正如我曾对参加本届政府的成员所说的那样，我要向下院说：“我没什么可以奉献，有的．只是热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水。
”摆在我们面前的，是一场极为痛苦的严峻的考验。
在我们面前，有许多许多漫长的斗争和苦难的岁月。
你们问：我们的政策是什么我要说，我们的政策就是用我们全部能力，用上帝所给予我们的全部力量，在海上、陆地和空中进行战争，同一个在人类黑暗悲惨的罪恶史上所从未有过的穷凶极恶的暴政进行战争。
这就是我们的政策。
你们问：我们的目标是什么我可以用一个词来回答：胜利——不惜一切代价，去赢得胜利；无论多么可怕，也要赢得胜利，无论道路多么遥远和艰难，也要赢得胜利。
因为没有胜利，就不能生存。
大家必须认识到这一点：没有胜利，就没有英帝国的存在，就没有英帝国所代表的一切，就没有促使人类朝着自己目标奋勇前进这一世代相因的强烈欲望和动力。
但是当我挑起这个担子的时候，我是心情愉快、满怀希望的。
我深信，人们不会听佳我们的事业遭受失败。
此时此刻，我觉得我有权利要求大家的支持，我要说：“来吧，让我们同心协力，一道前进。
