David Cameron will urge households today to pay off their personal debts to help Britain recover from what is “no normal recession”
卡梅倫會今天將會敦促家庭還清他們的個人債務，以幫助英國從“不是正常的衰退”恢復。

The country is not emerging from the economic turmoil as quickly as expected because of the “uncomfortable” international situation, the Prime Minister will say.
國家並未如預期般快擺脫經濟風暴，由於“不舒適”的國際形勢，首相說。
Amid growing pressure from rising household bills, voters are beginning to question why the “good times are so long coming”, Mr Cameron will tell delegates at the Conservative Party conference.
適值來自上升的家庭支出的增加壓力，選民開始質疑為什麼“好時光那麼跚跚來遲”，卡梅倫將會在保守黨大會告訴代表。
But he will call on the public, as well as governments and banks, to take responsibility for repairing the economy. He will urge people to pay off their credit and store card bills and “deal with your debts”.
但他將會呼籲公眾，以及政府和銀行，要負修復經濟的責任。他將敦促人們還清他們的信用卡和存儲卡帳單，及“處理你們的債務”。
In what is likely to be seen as a direct appeal to women, Mr Cameron will admit that it is “an anxious time” due to the rising cost of petrol, gas and electricity and food.
在可能被視為是對婦女的直接訴求，卡梅倫先生將承認它是“焦慮時刻”，由於汽油、天然氣、電力和食品不斷上升的成本。
He will say: “The only way out of a debt crisis is to deal with your debts. That means households – all of us – paying off the credit card and store card bills. It means banks getting their books in order.”
他會說：“走出債務危機的唯一途徑是處理你們的債務，那意味家庭 - 我們所有人 - 還清信用卡和存儲卡帳單，即是銀行獲得它們的賬簿有序。“
Downing Street aides said last night that it was clear that the economic situation was worse than had been predicted when Mr Cameron became Prime Minister and that he wanted to be honest about the country’s predicament with the public.

He will say that people want to know why the good times are so long coming. “The answer is straightforward, but uncomfortable. This was no normal recession, we’re in a debt crisis.”

However, while admitting there are no short cuts to recovery, Mr Cameron will issue a rallying call to the public to do more to help.

Mr Cameron will plead for people not to be “paralysed by gloom and fear” as he talks of his optimism and the country’s “can-do” attitude. “Right now we need to be energised, not paralysed by gloom and fear,” the Prime Minister will say.

He will add: “You hear pessimism about our economic future, our social problems, our political system. That our best days are behind us. That we’re on a path of certain decline. Well I’m here to tell you that it isn’t true.”

And the Prime Minister will go on: “So let’s reject the pessimism. Let’s bring on the can-do optimism. Let’s summon the energy and the appetite to fight for a better future for our country – Great Britain.”

He will tell Tory supporters that his leadership is about “unleashing” the leadership of others and will attempt to invoke a wartime spirit.

He will say Britain is a “hard-working, pioneering, independent, creative, adaptable, optimistic, can-do” country and that spirit “has made this United Kingdom what it is – a small country that does great things, one of the most incredible success stories in the history of the world”.

The Prime Minister will pledge to confront “vested interests” and “take on the failed ideas of the past”. These are thought to include the trade unions, employee rights and companies who fail to train young staff.

Mr Cameron will again reject any suggestion that the Coalition should think again about its economic plans, arguing that “our plan is the right one and our plan will work”.

He will tell the party’s rank-and-file, many of whom are demanding tax cuts which are now unlikely to be delivered for several years: “Slowly, but surely, we’re laying the foundations for a better future. But this is the crucial point: it will only work if we stick with it.”

Last night Mr Cameron appeared to indicate that the wealthy must pay more taxes, as he endorsed calls for the rich to do more.

He told Channel 4: “That is why we are taxing the banks, that is why non-doms – people who live here but pay their taxes overseas – that is why we are taxing them more.”
