英国财政大臣奥斯本在长官邸年度银行家宴会英语演讲稿

　　My Lord Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is again an honour to attend this wonderful dinner and to speak to you as Chancellor for the fifth time.

　　Lord Mayor, I remember coming here to Mansion House, just weeks after the government wasformed in 2010 – with Britain on the brink of an economic crisis – to give my first major speechon the task ahead.

　　I set out for you the economic plan we would follow, and I drew on the words Winston Churchillhad uttered in this very hall, to say that while Britain could not pretend our travails were at anend, we were at least at the end of the beginning.

　　In the four years since, supported by the resolution and sacrifice of the British people, wehave worked through that plan.

　　Now we are starting to see the results:

　　Britain growing faster than any advanced economy in the world.

　　A record number of people in work.

　　Now strong business investment on the back of low business taxes.

　　And a budget deficit this year set to be half what it was.

　　Last week, the IMF said that our resolute fiscal policy had been in their words an ‘anchor forthe British economy’ that had maintained confidence and stability in the face of the storm.

　　And I want to say to the business and financial community: you did not waver; you stuck withus and I thank you.

　　But the task is far from complete; and there are many risks to the progress we have made.

　　Abroad, the risks stem from the weak eurozone, unpredictable geopolitics and the slowdownin some emerging markets.

　　At home, our economy is still too unbalanced, so I am the first to say we need to continue ourefforts to boost business investment, exports and housing supply.

　　But the biggest risk comes from the tendency in parts of our body politics – the left and nowtoo the populist right – to wage a war on enterprise, regulate prices, propose penal taxes,close Britain to business and return to the old ways of borrow and spend.

　　We must win this battle.
