丘吉尔二战经典演讲：热血、汗水和眼泪 (1940.5.13) 　　BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS 　　Winston Churchill (May 13, 1940 ) On Friday evening last I received from His Majesty the mission to form a new administration. 　　It was the evident will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest possible basis and that it should include all parties. 　　I have already completed the most important part of this task. A war cabinet has been formed of five members, representing, with the Labor, Opposition and Liberals, the unity of the nation. 　　It was necessary that this should be done in one single day on account of the extreme urgency and rigor of events. Other key positions were filled yesterday. I am submitting a further list to the King tonight. I hope to complete the appointment of principal Ministers during tomorrow. 　　The appointment of other Ministers usually takes a little longer. I trust when Parliament meets again this part of my task will be completed and that the administration will be complete in all respects. 　　I considered it in the public interest to suggest to the Speaker that the House should be summoned today. At the end of todays proceedings, the adjournment of the House will be proposed until May 2l with provision for earlier meeting if need be. Business for that will be notified to M. P. s at the earliest opportunity. 　　I now invite the House by a resolution to record its approval of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new government. The resolution: 　　That this House welcomes the formation of a government representing the united and inflexible resolve of the nation to prosecute the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion. 　　To form an administration of this scale and complexity is a serious undertaking in itself. But we are in the preliminary Phase of one of the greatest battles in history. We are in action at any other points-in Norway and in Holland-and we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean.
