小时候我从未想过，有一天人类可以在月球上行走。然而今年，我们纪念了著名的阿波罗11号登月50周年。

As a child, I never imagined that one day a man would walk on the moon. Yet this year we marked the fiftieth anniversary of the famous Apollo 11 mission.

当这些具有历史意义的照片传回地球时，数百万民众守在电视机前目不转睛观看，宇航员尼尔·阿姆斯特朗迈出的一小步，成为了全人类历史上的一大步，无论对男性还是女性都是如此。这时刻提醒我们所有人：千里之行，始于足下。

As those historic pictures were beamed backed to earth, millions of us sat transfixed to our television screens, as we watched Neil Armstrong taking a small step for man and a giant leap for mankind and, indeed, for womankind. It's a reminder for us all that giant leaps often start with small steps.

今年，我们还迎来了另一个重要事件的周年纪念：诺曼底登陆。1944年6月6日，来自英国、加拿大和美国的15.6万名战士登陆法国北部海岸。那是有史以来规模最大的海上突击行动，我清楚记得父亲脸上担忧的表情。他知道诺曼底登陆的秘密计划，但是不能与任何人分享，压力无从分担。

This year we marked another important anniversary: D-Day. On 6th June 1944, some one hundred and fifty-six thousand British, Canadian and American forces landed in Northern France. It was the largest ever seaborne invasion and was delayed due to bad weather. I well remember the look of concern on my father's face. He knew the secret D-Day plans but could of course share that burden with no-one.

在那场决定性战役的75周年纪念日，海峡两岸曾经不共戴天的敌人们，本着真正的和解精神聚集在一起，冰释前嫌，共同纪念。这样的和解并非发生在一夜之间。重建信任需要耐心和时间，一小步一小步的积累，才能从量变到质变。

For the Seventy-Fifth Anniversary of that decisive battle, in a true spirit of reconciliation, those who had formerly been sworn enemies came together in friendly commemorations either side of the Channel, putting past differences behind them.Such reconciliation seldom happens overnight. It takes patience and time to rebuild trust, and progress often comes through small steps.

二战结束以来，众多慈善机构和公益组织致力于促进世界和平与团结，促成敌对双方握手言和。我们愿意放下过去的分歧携手并进，我们也尊重曾经以巨大代价赢来的自由和民主。

Since the end of the Second World War, many charities, groups and organisations have worked to promote peace and unity around the world, bringing together those who have been on opposing sides. By being willing to put past differences behind us and move forward together, we honour the freedom and democracy once won for us at so great a cost.

当代人面临的挑战也许与我这一代人当年所面临的不同，但我有被新一代人迎接挑战时的表现震慑到，比如他们在保护环境和气候问题上表现出的与我们当年相似的使命感。

The challenges many people face today may be different to those once faced by my generation, but I have been struck by how new generations have brought a similar sense of purpose to issues such as protecting our environment and our climate.

我和我的家人也因紧急救援部门和武装部队的男女官兵而深受鼓舞。在圣诞节这天，让我们铭记所有那些在国内外值守的人员，是他们在帮助那些需要帮助的人，并确保我们与家人安全无虞。

My family and I are also inspired by the men and women of our emergency services and Armed Forces; and at Christmas we remember all those on duty at home and abroad, who are helping those in need and keeping us and our families safe and secure.

200年前，我的曾曾祖母、维多利亚女王出生。时光变迁，如今菲利普和我非常高兴迎来了我们的第八位曾孙。

Two hundred years on from the birth of my great, great grandmother, Queen Victoria, Prince Philip and I have been delighted to welcome our eighth great grandchild into our family.

正如圣诞节故事起源的核心也关于一个孩子的诞生：这看似无足轻重的一小步，当时却被伯利恒（耶稣出生地）的人们所忽视。

Of course, at the heart of the Christmas story lies the birth of a child: a seemingly small and insignificant step overlooked by many in Bethlehem.

但随着时间的推移，通过他的教导与以身作则，耶稣基督会向世界展示，朝着信念和希望迈出一小步，便可战胜长久以来的分歧与根深蒂固的矛盾，迎来和谐与理解。

But in time, through his teaching and by his example, Jesus Christ would show the world how small
