新东方网托福频道为各位考生带来卡梅伦连任英国首相的演讲,希望对关注时事的大家有所帮助。

I've just been to see Her Majesty the Queen, and I will now form a majorityConservative government.

I've been proud to lead the first coalition government in 70 years, and Iwant to thank all those who worked so hard to make it a success; and inparticular, on this day, Nick Clegg. Elections can be bruising clashes of ideasand arguments, and a lot of people who believe profoundly in public service haveseen that service cut short. Ed Miliband rang me this morning to wish me luckwith the new government; it was a typically generous gesture from someone who isclearly in public service for all the right reasons.

The government I led did important work: it laid the foundations for abetter future, and now we must build on them. I truly believe we're on the brinkof something special in our country; we can make Britain a place where a goodlife is in reach for everyone who is willing to work and do the right thing. Ourmanifesto is a manifesto for working people, and as a majority government wewill be able to deliver all of it; indeed, it is the reason why I think majoritygovernment is more accountable.

Three million apprenticeships; more help with childcare; helping 30 millionpeople cope with the cost of living by cutting their taxes; building homes thatpeople are able to buy and own; creating millions more jobs that give people thechance of a better future. And yes, we will deliver that in/out referendum onour future in Europe.

As we conduct this vital work, we must ensure that we bring our countrytogether. As I said in the small hours of this morning, we will govern as aparty of one nation, one United Kingdom. That means ensuring this recoveryreaches all parts of our country: from north to south, from east to west. Andindeed, it means rebalancing our economy, building that "Northern Powerhouse".It means giving everyone in our country a chance, so no matter where you're fromyou have the opportunity to make the most of your life. It means giving thepoorest people the chance of training, a job, and hope for the future. It meansthat for children who don't get the best start in life, there must be thenursery education and good schooling that can transform their life chances. Andof course, it means bringing together the different nations of our UnitedKingdom.托福听力试题

I have always believed in governing with respect. That's why in the lastParliament, we devolved power to Scotland and Wales, and gave the people ofScotland a referendum on whether to stay inside the United Kingdom. In thisParliament I will stay true to my word and implement as fast as I can thedevolution that all parties agreed for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Governing with respect means recognising that the different nations of ourUnited Kingdom have their own governments, as well as the United Kingdomgovernment. Both are important, and indeed with our plans, the governments ofthese nations will become more powerful, with wider responsibilities. InScotland, our plans are to create the strongest devolved government anywhere inthe world with important powers over taxation. And no constitutional settlementwill be complete, if it did not offer, also, fairness to England.

When I stood here 5 years ago, our country was in the grip of an economiccrisis. Five years on, Britain is so much stronger, but the real opportunitieslie ahead. Everything I've seen over the last 5 years, and indeed, during thiselection campaign, has proved once again that this is a country with unrivalledskills and creativeness; a country with such good humour, and such greatcompassion, and I'm convinced that if we draw on all of this, then we can takethese islands, with our proud history, and build an even prouder future.

Together we can make Great Britain greater still. Thank you.
