If you're from an ordinary working-class family, life is much harder than many people in Westminster realize. You have the job, but you don't always have the job security.
如果你来自普通工人阶级家庭，生活比政府里许多人知道的更艰难。你有工作，可往往并不稳定。

You have your own home, but you worry about paying the mortgage. You can just about manage, but you worry about the cost of living and getting your kids into a good school.
你有房子，可担心付不起月供。你还能凑合活，却担心生活费增加，没法把孩子送进好学校。

If you're one of those families. If you're just managing. I want to address you directly. I know you're working around the clock, I know you're doing your best, and I know that sometimes, life can be a struggle. The government I lead will be driven not by the interests of a privileged few, but by yours.
如果你来自这些家庭，如果你也凑合活着，我想要直接和你说：我知道你起早贪黑，我知道你竭尽全力，我知道生活有时是一种挣扎。我领导的政府不会被一小撮特权群体的利益驱使，而会因你的利益而奔走。

We will do everything we can to give you more control over your lives. When we take the big calls, we'll think not of the powerful but you. When we pass new laws, we'll listen not to the mighty, but you. When it comes to taxes we'll prioritize not the wealthy, but you. When it comes to opportunity, we won't entrench the advantages of the fortunate few.
我们将尽一切所能让你更好掌控自己的生活。我们做重大决定时，我们想的不是那些有权之人，而是你们。我们通过新法时，我们不听那些有势之人，而是你们。当收税时，我们不会优先考虑那些有钱之人，而是你们。当提供机会时，我们不会只给予那些少数幸运之人。

We will do everything we can to help anybody, whatever your background, to go as far as your talents will take you.
我们将尽一切所能帮助所有人，不论你背景如何，都让你能发挥所长。

We are living through an important moment in our country's history. Following the referendum we face a time of great national change. And I know because we're Great Britain, we will rise to the challenge.
我们经历着国家历史上一个重要时刻。公投后我们面临着国家重大变革的时代。我知道因为我们是大不列颠，我们将迎接挑战。

As we leave the European Union, we will forge a bold, new positive role for ourselves in the world. And we will make Britain a country that works not for a privileged few, but for every one of us.
我们离开了欧盟，我们会在世界上打造一个勇敢、积极的新角色。我们要让英国成为不为少数特权阶级服务的国家，一个为每个人服务的国家。

That will be the mission of the government I lead, and together, we will build a better Britain.
这是我领导政府的使命，我们一起努力，就会建成一个更美好的英国。
