永不過時的經典——英國新首相就職演講（下）

前言：倫敦的唐寧街10號迎來了它的新的主人——特雷莎·梅（Theresa May）。2016年7月13日下午，英國女王伊麗莎白二世在白金漢宮邀請Theresa May組建新的內閣，這是英國有史以來第二位女首相。

Theresa May的就職演講是非常好的雅思聽力素材，語速適中，生詞較少；與此同時，雅思考試學生可以積累一些政治經濟相關的常用搭配，運用在自己的雅思寫作中，讓自己的表達更地道。

英國首相演講提升雅思寫作水平： 【在線咨詢】

If you're from an ordinary working-class family, life is much harder than many people in Westminster realize. You have the job, but you don't always have the job security.
如果你來自普通工人階級家庭，生活比政府里許多人知道的更艱難。你有工作，可往往并不穩(wěn)定。

You have your own home, but you worry about paying the mortgage. You can just about manage, but you worry about the cost of living and getting your kids into a good school.
你有房子，可擔心付不起月供。你還能湊合活，卻擔心生活費增加，沒法把孩子送進好學校。

If you're one of those families. If you're just managing. I want to address you directly. I know you're working around the clock, I know you're doing your best, and I know that sometimes, life can be a struggle. The government I lead will be driven not by the interests of a privileged few, but by yours.
如果你來自這些家庭，如果你也湊合活著，我想要直接和你說：我知道你起早貪黑，我知道你竭盡全力，我知道生活有時是一種掙扎。我領導的政府不會被一小撮特權群體的利益驅使，而會因你的利益而奔走。

We will do everything we can to give you more control over your lives. When we take the big calls, we'll think not of the powerful but you. When we pass new laws, we'll listen not to the mighty, but you. When it comes to taxes we'll prioritize not the wealthy, but you. When it comes to opportunity, we won't entrench the advantages of the fortunate few.
我們將盡一切所能讓你更好掌控自己的生活。我們做重大決定時，我們想的不是那些有權之人，而是你們。我們通過新法時，我們不聽那些有勢之人，而是你們。當收稅時，我們不會優(yōu)先考慮那些有錢之人，而是你們。當提供機會時，我們不會只給予那些少數(shù)幸運之人。

We will do everything we can to help anybody, whatever your background, to go as far as your talents will take you.
我們將盡一切所能幫助所有人，不論你背景如何，都讓你能發(fā)揮所長。

We are living through an important moment in our country's history. Following the referendum we face a time of great national change. And I know because we're Great Britain, we will rise to the challenge.
我們經歷著國家歷史上一個重要時刻。公投后我們面臨著國家重大變革的時代。我知道因為我們是大不列顛，我們將迎接挑戰(zhàn)。

As we leave the European Union, we will forge a bold, new positive role for ourselves in the world. And we will make Britain a country that works not for a privileged few, but for every one of us.
我們離開了歐盟，我們會在世界上打造一個勇敢、積極的新角色。我們要讓英國成為不為少數(shù)特權階級服務的國家，一個為每個人服務的國家。

That will be the mission of the government I lead, and together, we will build a better Britain.
這是我領導政府的使命，我們一起努力，就會建成一個更美好的英國。
