「ウィンストン・チャーチル」の版間の差分

* ロシアの行動は私には予想できない。それは[[w:エニグマ (暗号機)|エニグマ暗号機]]の不可解さに包まれた謎かけである。しかしおそらく鍵はある。その鍵とはロシアの国益なのだ。

*: "I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. '''It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma''': but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest."

 

*政府関係者に伝えたように、私は下院でこう言うだろう。'''私は、[[血]]、[[労働|労苦]]、[[涙]]、そして[[汗]]以外の何も提供するものはない。'''我々は目前にかつてない重大な苦難を抱えている。我々の目前には、数ヶ月もの長い努力と苦痛が多数待ちかまえている。諸君は『我々の方針は何か？』と問うだろう。私は答える、陸海空において[[神]]が我々に与えた全ての力を用いて戦うことだ。今までかつてない、人類の悲惨な犯罪史にさえ無い、途方もない暴政に対して戦うことだ。これが我々の方針だ。諸君は『我々の目標は何か？』と問うだろう。私は一言で答えられる、『[[勝利]]だ』と。どのような犠牲を払おうとも勝つこと、どのような悲劇が待ち受けようとも勝つこと。どれほどその道が長く険しかろうとも。勝利なくして生き残ることはない。

*: "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 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."

 

*: "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 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."

 

 

* イギリス国民はこの点でユニークです。彼らは事態がどんなに悪くとも、最悪の事態を伝えられることが好きな唯一の人々なのですから。

*: "The British nation is unique in this respect. They are the only people who like to be told how bad things are, who like to be told the worst."

 

* もし[[アドルフ・ヒトラー|ヒトラー]]が地獄に侵攻することになれば、私は下院において悪魔に多少なりとも好意的な発言をするようになるだろう。

*: "If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil, in the House of Commons"

 

*: "Never give in― never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."

 

* 今は終わりではない。これは終わりの始まりですらない。しかしあるいは、始まりの終わりかもしれない。

*: "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

 

* 将来の帝国は心の帝国だ。

*: "The empires of the future are the empires of the mind."

 

*: "The object of presenting medals, stars, and ribbons is to give pride and pleasure to those who have deserved them."

 

* 「無駄ではない」ことが、生き残った人々の誇りであり、亡くなった人の墓碑銘であるだろう。

*: "Not in vain" may be the pride of those who survived and the epitaph of those who fell.

 

* 伝統への[[愛]]は決して国民を弱めてきたのではなく、むしろ、危機に瀕した諸国民を勇気づけてきた。しかし新しい視点ももたらされるべきであり、また世界は前を向いて動き出さねばならないのだ。

*: "A love of tradition has never weakened a nation, indeed it has strengthened nations in their hour of peril; but the new view must come, the world must roll forward."
