I say it is to wage war by land, sea, 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 surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime.That is our policy.You ask,

12、 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 Emp

14、o say, “e then, let us go forward together with our united strength.”温斯顿·邱吉尔 1940年5月13日星期五晚上，我承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局部。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者，代表了举国一致的团结。三党领袖已经同意参加战时内阁，或者担任国家高级行政职务。三军指挥机构已加以充实。由于事态开展的极端紧迫感和严重性，仅仅用一天时间完成此项任

15、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，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好无缺的。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利，采取了必要的步骤。今天议程完毕时，建议下院休会到5月21日星期二。当然，还要附加规定，假如需要的话，可以提早复会。下周会议所要考虑的议题，将尽早通知全体议员。如今，我恳求下院，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

16、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展战斗，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，假如我今天没有向下院做长篇演说，我希望可以得到你们的宽恕。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

17、，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才能，用上帝所给予我们的全部力量，在海上、陆地和空中进展战争，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展战争。这就是我们的政策。你们问：我们的目的是什么?我可以用一个词来答复：成功-不惜一切代价，去赢得成功;无论多么可怕，也要赢得成功，无论道路多么遥远和困难，也要赢得成功。因为没有成功，就不能生存。大家必须认识到这一点：没有成功，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的奋勇前进这一世代相因的强烈欲望和动力。但是当

18、我挑起这个担子的时候，我是心情愉快、满怀希望的。我坚信，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。”关于哲理英语美文：爱莫大焉-为朋友献出生命by John W.MansurI heard this story when I was in Vietnam, and it was told to me as fact.I have no way of knowing for sure that it is true, but I do know that stranger things have happened in wa

21、and loss of blood.A transfusion was imperative, and a donor with a matching blood type was required.A quick test showed that neither American had the correct type, but several of the uninjured orphans did.The doctor spoke some pidgin Vietnamese, and the nurse a smattering of highschool French.Using

23、yed silence.After several long moments, a small hand slowly and waveringly went up, dropped back down, and then went up again.“Oh, thank you,” the nurse said in French.“What is your name?”“Heng,” came the reply.Heng was quickly laid on a pallet, his arm swab bed with alcohol, and a needle inserted i

25、gain the doctor asked him if the needle hurt, and again Heng shook his head.But now his occasional sobs gave way to a steady, silent crying, his eyes screwed tightly shut, his fist in his mouth to stifle his sobs.The medical team was concerned.Something was obviously very wrong.At this point, a Viet

26、namese nurse arrived to help.Seeing the little ones distress, she spoke to him rapidly in Vietnamese, listened to his reply and answered him in a soothing voice.After a moment, the patient stopped crying and looked questioningly at the Vietnamese nurse.When she nodded, a look of great relief spread

27、over his face.Glancing up, the nurse said quietly to the Americans, “He thought he was dying.He misunderstood you.He thought you had asked him to give all his blood so the little girl could live.”“But why would he be willing to do that?” asked the Navy nurse.The Vietnamese nurse repeated the questio

28、n boy, who answered simply, “Shes my friend.Greater love has no man than this-that he will lay down his life for a friend.中文：我是在越南时听到这个故事的，而且它是被当作真事告诉我的。虽然我无法确认它是否属实，但我却知道，在战争中比这更离奇的事情都发生过。一次，美军的例常炮击击中了坐落在一个越南小村庄里的一所孤儿院。这是由一个传教团体创办的。那儿的众多传教士和一两个孤儿在炮击中立即丧命，还有更多的孩子受伤，其中包括一个八岁的小女孩。村里的人们恳求附近一个小镇给予医疗救助，而

29、该镇同美军部队之间有无线电联络。最后，一名美国海军的军医同他的护士带着他们的药箱乘一辆吉普车到达了该村。他们确诊这个小女孩的伤势最严重，假设不立即采取措施，她就会死于休克和失血。必须立即为她输血，而且要求找到一个血型同她相匹配的献血者。经过快速的化验，这两个美国人的血型都与小女孩不匹配，幸而有好几名未受伤的孤儿的血型都符合要求。这位军医能讲几句洋泾浜的越南语，护士也能讲几句半生不熟的法语。二位将他们仅有的语言技能加到一起，再加上一些即兴的手势语，努力地向这些被吓坏了的孩子们解释-除非他们可以献出一些血，来补充这个小女孩失掉的血，否那么她一定会死去。然后他们问孩子们，有谁愿意献血来救活这个孩子。

30、他们得到的答复却是孩子们睁大的眼睛和沉默。过了好久好久，才有一只小手渐渐吞吞地，犹犹豫豫地举起来，接着又放下去，接着再一次举起来。“哦，谢谢你，”护士用法语说，“你叫什么名字?”“恒。”孩子答道。恒被很快地放到一张简陋的小床上，护士用酒精擦洗了他的胳膊之后，便将一根针头插进了他的静脉。在这个严酷的考验中，恒一直僵硬地躺着，默不作声。过了一会儿，他发出了一声战栗的抽泣，并且很快地用他的另外一只手掩住自己的脸。“痛吗，恒?”医生问道。恒摇了摇头。可是，没过多久，他又抽泣了一声。而且他又一次竭力地掩盖自己的哭泣。于是医生再一次问他针头是否扎痛了他。然而，恒却再一次摇了摇头。可是，这时他的断断续续的抽

31、泣已经无法抑制，变成了一种持续的、无声的哭泣。他紧闭着双目，把小拳头塞进嘴里，以控制自己的抽泣。医生和护士感到非常不安，显然有什么出了错。这时，终于有一位越南的护士来解围了。当她看见孩子的痛苦状态时，她很急迫地用越南语对他说了几句话，在听了孩子的答复之后，她又用抚慰的声音解答了孩子的困惑。过了一会儿，小男孩停顿了哭泣，然后疑惑地看着这位越南护士。当护士点头时，一种宏大的释然才在孩子的脸上渐渐地展开。越南护士抬起头来，一眼两个美国人，轻声地告诉他们：“他刚刚以为自己要死了。他误解了你们的意思。他以为你们要他把自己所有的血都抽出来才能救活那个小女孩呢。”“可是那样为什么他还愿意献血呢?”海军护士问

32、道。越南护士又向这个男孩重复了这个问题。男孩简单地答道：“因为她是我朋友。”没有一个人有这么伟大的爱-肯为一个朋友献出自己的生命。关于哲理英语美文：流水不返花亦落Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches along the highway I travel daily to work.There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eye.Ive noticed that it blooms only in the morning ho
