Margaret Thatcher: 'Against European Unity' (1)
Nor is the European idea the property of any group or institution.We British are as much heirs to the legacy of European culture as any other nation.Our links to the rest of Europe, the continent of Europe, have been the dominant factor in our history.For 300 years we were part of the Roman Empire and our maps still trace the straight lines of the roads the Romans built.Our ancestors - Celts, Saxons and Danes - came from the continent.Our nation was - in that favorite Community word - 'restructured' under Norman and Angevin rule in the eleventh and twelfth centuries.This year we celebrate the three-hundredth anniversary of the Glorious Revolution in which the British crown passed to Prince William of Orange and Queen Mary.Visit the great churches and cathedrals of Britain, read our literature and listen to our language: all bear witness to the cultural riches which we have drawn from Europe - and other Europeans from us.We in Britain are rightly proud of the way in which, since Magna Carta in 1215, we have pioneered and developed representative institutions to stand as bastions of freedom.And proud too of the way in which for centuries Britain was a home for people from the rest of Europe who sought sanctuary from tyranny.But we know that without the European legacy of political ideas we could not have achieved as much as we did.From classical and medieval thought we have borrowed that concept of the rule of law which marks out a civilized society from barbarism.And on that idea of Christendom -for long synonymous with Europe - with its recognition of the unique and spiritual nature of the individual, we still base our belief in personal liberty and other human rights.Too often the history of Europe is described as a series of interminable wars and quarrels.Yet from our perspective today surely what strikes us most is our common experience.For instance, the story of how Europeans explored and colonized and - yes, without apology - civilized much of the world is an extraordinary tale of talent, skill and courage.We British have in a special way contributed to Europe.Over the centuries we have fought to prevent Europe from falling under the dominance of a single power.We have fought and we have died for her freedom.Only miles from here in Belgium lie the bodies of 120,000 British soldiers who died in the First World War.Had it not been for that willingness to fight and to die, Europe would have been united long before now - but not in liberty, not in justice.It was British support to resistance movements throughout the last war that helped to keep alive the flame of liberty in so many countries until the day of liberation.

翻译
玛格丽特·撒切尔:“反对欧洲统一”(1)

欧洲理念也不是任何团体或机构的财产。
我们英国人和其他国家一样，都是欧洲文化遗产的继承者。
我们与欧洲其他国家、欧洲大陆的联系，一直是我们历史上的主导因素。
300年来，我们一直是罗马帝国的一部分，我们的地图上仍然可以看到罗马人修建的直线道路。
我们的祖先——凯尔特人、撒克逊人和丹麦人——来自欧洲大陆。
我们的国家——用那个最受欢迎的共同体词汇来说——在11世纪和12世纪诺曼和安吉文的统治下“重建”了。
今年，我们庆祝光荣革命300周年，在这场革命中，英国王位传给了奥兰治的威廉王子和玛丽女王。
参观英国的伟大教堂和大教堂，阅读我们的文学作品，聆听我们的语言:所有这些都见证了我们从欧洲汲取的文化财富，以及其他欧洲人从我们这里汲取的文化财富。
自1215年签订《大宪章》以来，我们英国人开创并发展了代表自由的机构，我们理应为此感到自豪。
几个世纪以来，英国一直是欧洲其他地区寻求暴政庇护的人们的家园，我为此感到自豪。
但我们知道，如果没有欧洲政治理念的遗产，我们不可能取得今天的成就。
我们从古典和中世纪的思想中借用了区分文明社会和野蛮社会的法治概念。
长期以来，基督教世界一直是欧洲的代名词，它承认个人的独特性和精神本质，基于这种理念，我们仍然相信个人自由和其他人权。
欧洲的历史常常被描述为一系列无休止的战争和争吵。
然而，从我们今天的角度来看，最让我们震惊的肯定是我们的共同经历。
例如，关于欧洲人如何探索和殖民，以及——是的，毫无疑问——使世界大部分地区变得文明的故事，就是一个才华、技巧和勇气的非凡故事。
我们英国人以一种特殊的方式为欧洲做出了贡献。
几个世纪以来，我们一直在为防止欧洲落入单一大国的统治而斗争。
我们为她的自由而战，为她的自由而死。
在离这里几英里远的比利时，埋葬着12万死于一战的英国士兵的尸体。
如果不是因为这种战斗和牺牲的意愿，欧洲早就团结起来了——但不是在自由，不是在正义。
正是英国在上一场战争中对抵抗运动的支持，才使自由的火焰在许多国家熊熊燃烧，直到解放的那一天。

故事一:天方夜谭

《天方夜谭》是一部故事集，也被称为《一千零一夜》。
国王不信任他的前妻，因为他被她背叛了。
她和一个厨房佣人有染。
从那以后，国王开始每天晚上和一个女孩睡觉，然后杀了她们。
为了制止这种暴行，瓦齐尔的女儿自愿嫁给他。
她成了舍赫拉扎德王后。
她每天晚上给国王沙·沙赫拉尔讲一个故事。
这些精巧的故事不会在同一个晚上结束。
为了活下去，她在第二天晚上结束了这个故事，并且开始了一个新的故事。
国王很高兴，没有杀她。
三年后，她的故事说完了，但他们结婚三年了，他们有了孩子，所以国王没有杀她。

故事二:以慈悲的真主之名

很久以前，有两个皇室兄弟，沙赫里亚尔和沙赫扎曼。
他们统治着各自的土地。沙赫里亚尔统治印度/印度支那，沙赫扎曼统治撒马尔罕。
他们是非常亲密的兄弟，但由于某些法律的原因，他们不能一起统治。
在分开20年后，沙赫里亚尔向他的兄弟沙赫扎曼发出了一个请求，让他来见一面。
在离开去看兄弟之前，沙赫里亚尔发现他的妻子背着他和厨师在一起。
他非常沮丧。
他吃不下也睡不着。
沙赫里亚尔国王下令杀死他的王后，并发誓每天晚上娶一个年轻女孩。
他和她们上床后，第二天早上杀了她们。
他想确保新婚妻子不会有不忠的机会。
他说:“从来没有，将来也不会有忠实的女人!”

故事三:驼子的故事

很久以前，在中国的一个城市里，一个裁缝和他的妻子邀请了一个驼背的人到他们家吃饭。
他们想要娱乐放松一下。
驼背人在吃东西和开玩笑的时候，被一根锋利的鱼刺噎住了。
两人用床单把死者包起来，半夜带他去看医生。
他们不想让任何人看到他们，所以他们把驼子留在医生的房子里跑了。
医生急于看他的病人，结果被尸体绊倒了。
驼背的尸体从楼梯上摔了下来。
医生相信病人是他杀的，就把尸体放在邻居的院子里。
邻居以为他是小偷，打了他一顿。
他以为他杀了他。
邻居把尸体带到一条小巷，在那里他再次遭到殴打。
就这样，驼背的尸体被四处传递，直到国王的掮客和尸体一起被发现。
就在掮客即将被处决的时候，所有被认为是凶手的人都一个接一个地招供了。
他根本就没有死。
国王询问了所有相关人员。
结果发现，理发师已经把鱼刺从驼子喉咙里取出来了，这个驼子已经好了。
国王笑了，他喜欢听这些疯狂的事情。
他对在场的每一个人说:“你们听过比我的驼子故事更奇妙的故事吗?”
