Chapter 1: The Values and Principles of the UK
第一章：英国的价值观和原则
British society is founded on fundamental values and principles which all those living in the UK should respect and support. These values are reflected in the responsibilities, rights and privileges of being a British citizen or permanent resident of the UK. They are based on history and traditions and are protected by law, customs and expectations. There is no place in British society for extremism or intolerance.
英国社会建立在所有生活在英国的人都应尊重和支持的基本价值观和原则之上。这些价值观体现在英国公民或英国永久居民的责任、权利和特权中。这些价值观以历史和传统为基础，并受到法律、习俗和期望的保护。英国社会不容忍极端主义或排他主义。
The fundamental principles of British life include:

As part of the citizenship ceremony, new citizens pledge to uphold these values. The pledge is:
