Before I talk about that new government, let me say something about the one that has just passed.
在谈论新政府之前，请允许我谈一谈最近刚刚发生过的一件事情。
Compared with a decade ago, this country is more open at home and more compassionate abroad and that is something we should all be grateful for and on behalf of the whole country I’d like to pay tribute to the outgoing prime minister for his long record of dedicated public service.
与十年前相比，这个国家对内更加开放，对外更加富有同情心，我们都应该为此感到高兴。我谨代表这个国家，对长期致力于公共服务的前任首相深表赞扬。
In terms of the future, our country has a hung parliament where no party has an overall majority and we have some deep and pressing problems—a huge deficit, deep social problems, a political system in need of reform.
就未来而言，我们的议会无任何党派占明显多数，我们面临着一些深刻而紧迫的问题庞大的赤字、深刻的社会问题以及需要改革政治制度。
For those reasons I aim to form a proper and full coalition between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats.
基于这些房、囚，我计划在保守党和自由民主党之间组建适合的联盟。
I believe that is the right way to provide this country with the strong, the stable, the good and decent government that I think we need So badly.
我相信，这是实现为国家组建一个我们非常需要的强大、稳定、良好政府的正确途径。
Nick Clegg and I are both political leaders that want to put aside party differences and work hard for the common good and for the national interest.
尼克·克莱格和我都是希望撇开党派差异、为公益事业、为国家利益而努力的领导人。
I believe that is the best way to get the strong government that we need, decisive government that we need today.
我认为，这是打造我们所需要的强大而采断的政府的最佳方式。
I came into politics because I love this country. I think its best days still lie ahead and I believe deeply in public service.
我之所以从政，是因为我热爱这个国家，我相信最好的日子还在前面，我深信公共服务。
And I think the service our country needs right now is to face up to our really big challenges, to confront our problems, to take difficult decisions, to lead people through those difficult decisions, so that together we can reach better times ahead.
我认为，服务国家最重要的是直面我们真正的大挑战，直面我们的问题，做出艰难的决定，并领导人民克服这些困难，这样我们就能够一起迈向更美好的明天。
One of the tasks that we clearly have is to rebuild trust in our political system. Yes that’s about cleaning up expenses, yes that is about reforming parliament, and yes it is about making sure people are in control-and that the politicians are always their servant and never their masters.
很明显，我们的任务之一就是重建对政治体系的信任。是的，这就要求我们清理开支、改革议会、保证对人民的管理并确保政治家始终是人们的公仆，而非主人。
