在英国的传统里，每年有几百上千万的观众忠实地守候在电视前，看女王徐徐道来一年中的大事件，听她用睿智而坚定的话语鼓舞和安慰大家，让观众的心里充满了对新一年的希望。下面来说说英国女王圣诞节演讲稿中英对照版。

女王圣诞讲话的官方名称是“女王殿下最仁慈的演讲”(Her Majesty’s Most Gracious Speech)。

女王在讲话里提到了科技的进步，幽默地提到她随科技自己的进化，她尤其强调了60年来不变的东西--- 家给人带来的温暖和庇佑--- 不变的东西才更打动她的内心。

她在演讲中提到了家给她的支持，尤其是和菲利普亲王七十年的婚姻。她在讲话中，幽默地说到，不知是谁发明了七十年“白金婚”的说法，当她出生的时候，其实没人指望她能活这么久。她还尤其提到明年有一位新的家庭成员的加入，很明显，亨利王子明年将和梅根·马克尔大婚，作为王子的老奶奶，她给予了热情的欢迎和祝福。

Sixty years ago today, a young woman spoke about the speed of technological change as she presented the first television broadcast of its kind. She described the moment as

a landmark:

六十年的今天，一位年轻的女士(女王幽默地说她自己)，第一次通过电视，广播了她的讲话。她谈到了科技进化的速度，并把那个时刻称做是里程碑。

Television has made it possible for many of you to see me in your homes on Christmas Day. My own family often gather round to watch television, as they are at this moment. And that is how I imagine you now.

电视的出现，让大家过圣诞节的时候，坐在家里也能看到我。我的家里人也经常围坐在一起看电视，比如现在。我想，你们现在也是。

Six decades on, the presenter has evolved somewhat, as has the technology she described. Back then, who could have imagined that people would one day be watching this on laptops and mobile phones, as some of you are today?

六十年过去了，当年的通过电视广播演讲的女士自己，如她所描述的科技一样，也多少成长了一些。回到那个时候，谁能想到，你们今天会通过电脑或手机来观看我的圣诞演讲呢?

But I'm also struck by something that hasn't changed - that whatever the technology, many of you will be watching this at home.

但是，我也被那些不曾改变的东西所触动，比如，无论科技怎么进化，你们大多数人都会在家观看我的演讲。

We think of our homes as places of warmth, familiarity and love - of shared stories and memories - which is perhaps why, at this time of year, so many return to where they grew up. There is a timeless simplicity to the pull of home. For many, the idea of home reaches beyond a physical building, to a home town or city.

我们的家，充满了我们共同的故事和回忆，温暖、熟悉、以及爱。这也是为什么，每年这个时刻，我们都回到自己成长的地方。对我们来说，“家”，超越了城市里看得见、摸得着的房子，家对我们的吸引，简简单单，超越了时间。

This Christmas, I think of London and Manchester, whose powerful identities shone through over the past 12 months, in the face of appalling attacks. In Manchester, those targeted included children who had gone to see their favourite singer. A few days after the bombing, I had the privilege of meeting some of the young survivors and their parents.

这个圣诞节，我尤其对伦敦和曼彻斯特予以特别情感，因为它们在反抗恐袭中，展现出它们独有的性格，它们的个性让这两个城市在过去十二月烁烁放光。在曼彻斯特，恐袭的对象，甚至包括了一些孩子，他们只是去看看他们最喜爱的歌手。炸弹袭击几天后，我有幸去探望了一些年轻的幸存者和他们的父母。

I described that hospital visit as a privilege because the

patients I met were an example to us all, showing extraordinary bravery and resilience. Indeed, many of those who survived the attack came together just days later for a benefit concert. It was a powerful reclaiming of the ground and of the city those young people call home.

我十分“有幸地”进行了那次医院的探望。我所见到的受害者们堪称我们所有人的楷模，他们表现出超乎寻常的勇气和坚韧。事实上，炸弹袭击短短几天后，很多从袭击中幸存的人们重聚在公益演唱会上。这是那些年轻人称作“家”的土地和城市的强有力的声明。

We expect our homes to be a place of safety - sanctuary, even - which makes it all the more shocking when the comfort they provide is shattered. A few weeks ago, the Prince of Wales visited the Caribbean in the aftermath of hurricanes that destroyed entire communities.

我们期望家是一个安全的地方，甚至是一个“避难所”。所以当家所能提供的舒适被粉碎的时候我们会如此震惊。几周前，威尔士王子在飓风的余威中探望了被飓风严重摧毁的加勒比地区。

And here, in London, who can forget the sheer awfulness of the Grenfell Tower fire?Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who died and those who lost so much, and we are indebted to members of the emergency services who risked their own lives this past year, saving others. Many of them, of
