There is no greater honour for me, as Prime Minister, than to work with so many of you: the extraordinary men and women who make up the armed forces of our United Kingdom.
So as our thoughts turn to Christmas, I want to send you this personal message, to thank you on behalf of the whole country for everything you do for us; and to tell you just how much we appreciate the extraordinary sacrifices that you and all your families make, especially at this time of year.
Earlier this month I was on board HMS Ocean[海洋号] in Bahrain[巴林], meeting sailors, marines and pilots whose service is helping to bring stability to the Gulf[波斯湾]. We talked about the challenges of being away from home – separated and at such a distance from loved ones this Christmas.
Over this holiday period, there will be around 5,000 members of our Armed Forces deployed on operations – in the desert, at sea, even under the sea operating our continuous nuclear deterrent[核威慑力量].
While even those who are able to be here in the UK will, in many cases, be on standby to deal with domestic incidents like the flood relief that so many of you helped with during your Christmas breaks last year.
Just as your commitment to our country is unfaltering[1] – so in return we owe you the same deep commitment and unflinching[2] support. So as I made clear when I met some of your families on Salisbury Plain[索尔兹伯里平原] earlier this year, we will honour the commitments we have made to you, including helping you to buy your own home and providing support for your children in school.
[1]unfaltering：never stopping or losing strength; not faltering 不摇晃的；坚定的；不动摇的
unfaltering commitment/support/belief
不变的诺言；坚定的支持；坚持的信仰
[2]unflinching：not frightened of or not trying to avoid something dangerous or unpleasant 不畏缩的；坚定无畏的；不屈不挠的
It is a brave and unflinching account of prison life.
这是一篇对狱中生活大胆泼辣的报道。
And as we go into 2017, I know there is more we can do to help and I am determined that we should do so. Because I want you – and all your families - to know that this government is on your side.
Day in and day out, you put yourselves on the line to keep us safe and to protect our interests around the world. You are the finest in the world, and your service is an inspiration to us all.
So on behalf of our whole country, let me say a huge thank you once again – and let me wish you all a peaceful Christmas and a very happy New Year.
