I fought this campaign in the only way I know how – which is to say directly and passionately what I think and feel – head, heart and soul.
我以自己知道的唯一方法進行著這個過程，那就是直接、用心地表達我內心的想法和感受。
I held nothing back. I was absolutely clear about my belief that Britain is stronger, safer and better off inside the European Union, and I made clear the referendum was about this and this alone – not the future of any single politician, including myself.
我沒有任何保留，我的立場很明確，英國在歐盟內將會更加強大、安全和繁榮。我也強調了這次公投跟任何政客的前途，包括我自己，沒有任何關系。
But the British people have made a very clear decision to take a different path, and as such I think the country requires fresh leadership to take it in this direction.
但是英國民眾已經做出了明確且不同的選擇，因此我認為英國需要新的領導人來帶領我們的國家向前。
