We shall fight on the beaches
By Winston Churchill,翻译:永清
I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty's Government – every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation. The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.
我, 自己, 充满信心, 如果他们都承担起责任,如果没有什么被忽视, 如果是最好的安排, 因为它们, 我们要再一次证明我们能够捍卫我们的家园, 安然度过战争的席卷, 战胜专制的威胁, 如果有必要,用很多年的时间,如果有必要,一个人也要战斗到底。无论如何,这是我们要做的。这是大英帝国政府的决心——每一个人的决心。这是议会和民族的意志。大英帝国和法兰西共和国,命运和未来紧紧相连,将誓死捍卫国家领土,我们是患难与共的同志,将以最大的力量帮助彼此。
Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We 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; we shall never surrender, and 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.
即使大片欧洲,许多古老而闻名的国家已经或可能落入了盖世太保和纳粹装备的魔爪中,我们既不会退缩,也不会失败。我们将坚持到最后。我们将在法国作战,我们将在海洋上作战,我们将以日益增强的信心和力量作战,我们将保卫我们的岛屿,无论代价是什么。我们将在海滩上作战,我们将在敌人的登陆点作战,我们将在田野和街头作战,我们将在山坡上作战。我们决不投降, 如果, 我绝不相信, 这片土地被征服,那么我们帝国以外的由英国舰队保卫的海域,将以上帝的名义,斗争到底。我们终将迎来充满力量和活力的新世界,拯救和解放旧世界。
