大家早上好
Good morning everyone,
英国刚刚举行了一场规模巨大的民主活动
the country has just taken part in a giant democratic exercise,

这些岛屿上人民 做出重大决策
we trust the people for these big decisions.
英国不仅拥有一个议会民主制
We not only have a parliamentary democracy,
而且 有关英国如何治理的问题

有的时候 就需要问问人民自己
there are times when it is right to ask the people themselves
这就是我们所做的

努力和激情表示祝贺

英国人民的意志 必须服从
The will of the British people is an instruction that must be delivered.
这并不是一个可以掉以轻心的决定
It was not a decision that was taken lightly,
原因不只是各种组织
not least because so many things were said
对其重要性 曾做出的那些解释
by so many different organisations about the significance of this decision.
所以 不能对结果 有任何的怀疑

我想向市场和投资者保证
I would reassure those markets and investors
英国的经济基本面是强劲的
that Britain's economy is fundamentally strong
对于住在欧盟各国的英国人
and I would also reassure Britons living in European countries
以及住在英国的欧盟公民
and European citizens living here
我向你们保证 你们的状况不会立即发生改变
that there will be no immediate changes in your circumstances.
在出行方面 暂时不会发生变化
There will be no initial change in the way our people can travel,
货物依然可以流通 服务依旧能够交易
in the way our goods can move or the way our services can be sold.
现在 我们必须做好与欧盟谈判的准备
We must now prepare for a negotiation with the European Union.
这需要苏格兰和
This will need to involve the full engagement of
北爱尔兰政府的全力配合
the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland governments
确保 捍卫 并增进
to ensure that the interests of all parts of our United Kingdom
英国国内各方的利益

But above all this will require strong, determined and committed leadership.
六年来 我任职这个国家的首相
