英國女王發(fā)表二戰(zhàn)勝利75周年講話 附演講雙語全文

　　除了父親的照片，女王在發(fā)表講話時(shí)還在桌上擺了一頂自己曾經(jīng)戴過的帽子。

　　英女王發(fā)表講話這頂帽子上的縮寫ATS，代表的是Auxiliary Territorial Service(英國女子輔助軍團(tuán))，是英國在二戰(zhàn)時(shí)期由女性組成的軍事力量。

　　1945年，18歲的女王加入軍團(tuán)接受訓(xùn)練，成為了一名汽車兵。

　　如今，女王已經(jīng)是唯一在世的曾在二戰(zhàn)中服役的國家(Head of State)。

　　她的講話，不僅是歷史的沉淀，更閃爍著智慧的光芒。

　　演講雙語全文

　　I speak to you today at the same hour as my father did exactly 75 years ago.

　　我今天的講話時(shí)間與我父親75年前向全國發(fā)表講話的時(shí)間完全一樣。

　　His message then was a salute to the men and women at home and abroad, who have sacrificed so much in pursuit of what he rightly called "a great deliverance".

　　當(dāng)時(shí)他的講話是向英國海內(nèi)外人民致敬，他們?yōu)榱藢?shí)現(xiàn)我父親稱之為“偉大的拯救”戰(zhàn)斗的勝利而鞠躬盡瘁。

　　The war had been a total war. It had affected everyone, and no one was immune from its impact.

　　那是一場(chǎng)全面戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，它影響了所有人，無人能置身事外。

　　Whether it be the men and women called up to serve, families separated from each other, or people asked to take up new roles and skills to support the war effort. All had a part to play.

　　無論是被征召服役的戰(zhàn)士們、被迫分離的家人，還是被要求從事新職業(yè)、學(xué)習(xí)新技術(shù)以支援戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的人們，每個(gè)人都有自己的職責(zé)。

　　At the start, the outlook seemed bleak, the end distant, the outcome uncertain.

　　最初，前景看似黯淡，終結(jié)之日遙不可及，最終結(jié)局懸而未決。

　　But we kept faith that the cause was right, and this belief, as my father noted in his broadcast, carried us through. "Never give up, never despair."

　　但我們堅(jiān)信是在為正義而戰(zhàn)，正如我父親在廣播中所說，這種信念讓我們堅(jiān)持了下去，“永不言棄，永不絕望。”

　　That was the message of VE-Day.

　　這就是“歐洲勝利日”所傳達(dá)的信息。

　　I vividly remember the jubilant scenes my sister and I witnessed with our parents and Winston Churchill from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

　　我清楚地記得，當(dāng)時(shí)和妹妹在白金漢宮陽臺(tái)上與父母及丘吉爾首相一起目睹的歡慶場(chǎng)面。
