Scotland has a special place at the heart of our precious union of nations. And today, on St Andrew’s Day, it is right that we should come together to celebrate everything that Scotland stands for, and all that Scotland contributes to our United Kingdom and to the whole world. For that is the breadth of Scotland’s influence.

在我们极为宝贵的国家联盟中，苏格兰一直处于特殊的核心地位。今天是圣安德鲁日，我们应共同携手，同心协力，弘扬苏格兰所代表的一切，称颂苏格兰为我们联合王国以及世界所做的全部贡献，这就是苏格兰影响之深远程度。

From the creativity and ingenuity of Edinburgh’s Festivals, three of which celebrated their 70th anniversary this year as some of the world’s greatest arts events to Dr Richard Henderson, who has become the 14th Scot to be awarded the Nobel Prize. From the UK’s life-saving humanitarian efforts co-ordinated from East Kilbride to the factory in Falkirk making iconic double-decker buses that are sold to Mexico City. From Scotland’s defence industry, making world-leading warships on the Clyde to Scottish food and drink enjoyed the world over. And I am proud that as Prime Minister of our United Kingdom.

从爱丁堡艺术节独有的创新精神，其中三大艺术节恰逢今年喜迎70周年纪念，也是世界范围内最了不起的艺术活动之一到理查德·亨德森博士成为第14位诺贝尔奖的苏格兰人；从打击东基布赖德人口贩卖问题，为挽救生命所做出的付出和努力，到法尔科克的工厂制造出英国标志性的双层巴士甚至远售到墨西哥城；从苏格兰的国防工业，在克莱德海军基地成功制造出全世界最领先的军舰，再到备受世界人民喜欢的苏格兰食物和饮品，身为我们联合王国的首相，我倍感自豪。

The government I lead is committed to doing everything possible to support Scotland’s continued success. That includes investing 1 billion pounds in City Deals that have backed projects from five new technology innovation hubs and the new concert venue in Edinburgh, to the V&A opening in Dundee next year. And it is that partnership between all the nations of the United Kingdom that makes us even stronger.

我领导的政府致力于竭尽一切所能继续支持苏格兰，为其成功搭桥铺路。其中举措包括为苏格兰提供超10亿英镑的投资；对5个新兴技术创新中心项目的研究给予资金支持；新型音乐会场馆将落户于爱丁堡；维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆明年也将在邓迪市开幕。正是我们联合王国中每一个构成国之间的合作伙伴关系才让我们变得更加强大。

So today, let us take confidence from the contribution that Scotland will make in helping the United Kingdom to secure a bold, confident and prosperous future as a truly global nation. And to all Scots, wherever you are in the world today, I wish you all a very happy St Andrew’s Day.

因此今天让我们坚信苏格兰所作出的贡献将帮助我们整个联合王国成为一个大胆，自信，繁荣的全球性大国。也祝愿所有苏格兰人民，无论今天你们身处世界哪个角落，我祝你们所有人度过一个幸福快乐的圣安德鲁日！
