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.
We Shall Fight on the Beaches
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;
我們將戰鬥到底。我們將在法國作戰,我們將在海洋中作戰,我們將以越來越大的信心和越來越強的力量在空中作戰,我們將不惜一切代價保衛本土,我們將在海灘作戰,我們將在敵人的登陸點作戰,我們將在田野和街頭作戰,我們將在山區作戰;
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.
我們絕不投降,即使我們這個島嶼或這個島嶼的大部分被征服並陷於飢餓之中——我從來不相信會發生這種情況——我們在海外的帝國臣民,在英國艦隊的武裝和保護下也會繼續戰鬥,直到新世界在上帝認為適當的時候,拿出它所有一切的力量來拯救和解放這個舊世界。
