Queen's Christmas message 英國女王圣誕致辭

Each year that passes seems to have its own character.Some leave us with a feeling of satisfaction, others are best forgotten.2009 was a difficult year for many, in particular those facing the continuing effects of the economic downturn.I am sure that we have all been affected by events in Afghanistan and saddened by the casualties suffered by our forces serving there.Our thoughts go out to their relations and friends who have shown immense dignity in the face of great personal loss.But, we can be proud of the positive contribution that our servicemen and women are making, in conjunction with our allies.Well over 13,000 soldiers from the United Kingdom, and across the Commonwealthare currently serving in Afghanistan.The debt of gratitude owed to these young men and women, and to their predecessors, is indeed profound.It is 60 years since the Commonwealth was created and today, with more than a billion of its members under the age of 25, the organization remains a strong and practical force for good.Recently, I attended the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Trinidad and Tobago and heard how important the Commonwealth is to young people.New communication technologies allow them to reach out to the wider world and share their experiences and viewpoints.For many, the practical assistance and networks of the Commonwealth can give skills, lend advice and encourage enterprise.It is inspiring to learn of some of the work being done by these young people, who bring creativity and innovation to the challenges they face.It is important to keep discussing issues that concern us allCanada, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore-are currently serving in Afghanistan.The debt of gratitude owed to these young men and women and to their predecessors is indeed profound."

她說：“我們對我們的男女軍人與盟友一起所做的積極貢獻感到自豪。目前，英國和加拿大、澳大利亞、新西蘭以及新加坡等英聯邦國家一共有1萬3千多名軍人駐扎在阿富汗。我們向這些年輕男女以及在他們之前派駐阿富汗的軍人表達深切的感激之情?！?/p>

More than 100 British soldiers have died this year in Afghanistan.That is the most since the lengthy deployment began back in 2001.Since then, a total of 243 have been killed.今年有100多名英國士兵在阿富汗死亡。這是自2001年英國向阿富汗派兵以來，傷亡人數最多的一年。自2001年以來，共有243人陣亡。

Polls here repeatedly show that average British citizens want to see the troops brought back home as soon as possible.多次民意調查顯示，英國公民普遍希望英國部隊盡快回家。

第二篇：女王2017圣誕致辭

女王2017圣誕致辭 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.QUEEN(in archival footage): 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.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?But I'm also struck by something that hasn't changedof shared stories and memoriessanctuary, evena reminder of how truly vibrant this international family is.Today, we celebrate Christmas, which, itself, is sometimes described as a festival of the home.Families travel long distances to be together.Volunteers and charities, as well as many churches, arrange meals for the homeless and those who would otherwise be alone on Christmas Day.We remember the birth of Jesus Christ, whose only sanctuary was a stable in Bethlehem.He knew rejection, hardship and persecution.And, yet, it is Jesus Christ's generous love and example which has inspired me through good times and bad.Whatever your own experience is this year, wherever and however you are watching, I wish you a peaceful and very happy Christmas.

第四篇：女王圣誕致辭（共）

2016女王圣誕致辭

2016年12月25日下午3點，英國女王伊麗莎白二世發表了每年一度的圣誕致辭。她在致辭中提倡普通人“懷大愛做小事”（Do small things with great love）。以下為致辭視頻和雙語文字：

There was a time when British Olympic medal winners became household names because there were so few of them.英國奧運獎牌獲得者的名字曾經家喻戶曉，因為他們人數寥寥。

But the 67 medals at this year's Games in Rio and 147 at the Paralympics meant that the GB medallists' reception at Buckingham Palace was a crowded and happy event.但今年里約奧運的67位獎牌獲得者和147位殘奧會獎牌獲得者讓白金漢宮的慶祝儀式變得擁擠而幸福。

Throughout the Commonwealth there were equally joyful celebrations.Grenada, the Bahamas, Jamaica and New Zealand won more medals per head of population than any other countries.在英聯邦國家中也有同樣充滿喜悅的慶典——格林納達，巴哈馬，牙買加和新西蘭獲得的獎牌人均世界最多。

Many of this year's winners spoke of being inspired by athletes of previous generations.今年的獲勝者們都提到，他們曾受到前輩運動員的啟迪。

Inspiration fed their aspiration;and having discovered abilities they scarcely knew they had, these athletes are now inspiring others.這種啟迪讓他們充滿雄心壯志，也讓他們發現了自己不曾知道的能力?，F在，他們成為了其他運動員的啟迪。

A few months ago, I saw inspiration of a different kind when I opened the new Cambridge base of the East Anglian Air Ambulance, where Prince William works as a helicopter pilot.幾個月前，我在為東英格蘭空中救援劍橋基地成立剪彩時，發現了另一種啟迪。這里也是威廉王子作為直升機飛行員工作的地方。

It was not hard to be moved by the dedication of the highly skilled doctors, paramedics and crew, who are called out on average five times a day.被平均每天緊急出勤的醫生、傘兵軍醫和空乘人員的奉獻感動不是一件難事。

But to be inspirational you don't have to save lives or win medals.但你不需要通過拯救生命或贏得獎牌而啟發別人。

I often draw strength from meeting ordinary people doing extraordinary things: volunteers, carers, community organisers and good neighbours;unsung heroes whose quiet dedication makes them special.我經常在面對從事普通崗位的普通人時獲得力量：志愿者、護工、社區組織者和友好的鄰里——不被歌頌的英雄因沉默奉獻而與眾不同。

They are an inspiration to those who know them, and their lives frequently embody a truth expressed by Mother Teresa, from this year Saint Teresa of Calcutta.他們是周圍人的榜樣，而他們的人生也不斷具象地表達著特蕾莎修女——從今年起她就是加爾各答的圣特蕾莎了——所體現的真理。

She once said: 'Not all of us can do great things.But we can do small things with great love'.特蕾莎修女曾說：“不是每個人都能成大事。但我們可以做充滿大愛的小事。”

This has been the experience of two remarkable organisations, The Duke of Edinburgh's Award and The Prince's Trust, which are 60 and 40 years old this year.These started as small initiatives but have grown beyond any expectations, and continue to transform young people's lives.這也是兩個偉大的慈善組織——成立60年的“愛丁堡公爵獎”和成立40年的“王子基金會”一直以來的經驗。他們從自發的小型慈善開始，逐漸成長為出人意料、能夠一直改善年輕人生活的慈善組織。

To mark my 90th birthday, volunteers andsupporters of the six hundred charities of which I have been patron came to alunch in The Mall.為了慶祝我的90歲生日，來自由我贊助的600個慈善機構的志愿者和支持者們齊聚白金漢宮前林蔭道，共進午餐。

Many of these organisations are modest insize but inspire me with the work they do.很多這樣的機構規模有限，但它們的工作依然令我備受啟迪。

From giving friendship and support to ourveterans, the elderly or the bereaved;to championing music and dance;providing animal welfare;or protecting our fields and forests, theirselfless devotion and generosity of spirit is an example to us all.從為我們的老兵提供陪伴與幫助，無論他們年歲已暮還是孑然一身，到在音樂舞蹈領域大放異彩；從為動物權益奔走奮斗，到保護我們的田野與森林，他們的無私投入和奉獻精神是我們所有人共同的榜樣。

When people face a challenge they sometimestalk about taking a deep breath to find courage or strength.In fact, the word 'inspire' literally means 'to breathe in'.當人們面臨挑戰，有時他們會告訴自己深呼吸來尋求勇氣和力量。其實，“鼓舞”這個詞本身字面上就是“吸氣”的意思。

But even with the inspiration of others, it's understandable that we sometimes think the world's problems are so big that we can do little to help.但即使懷抱著他人帶來的啟迪，這個世界上存在的問題確實太大，我們很難從實質上改變它，這種想法是可以理解的。

On our own, we cannot end wars or wipe outinjustice, but the cumulative impact of thousands of small acts of goodness canbe bigger than we imagine.作為個體，我們無法平息戰亂或是消滅不公，但千千萬萬的小小善舉匯聚到一起所帶來的影響，遠比我們想象中要大。

At Christmas, our attention is drawn to thebirth of a baby some two thousand years ago.It was the humblest of beginnings, and his parents, Joseph and Mary, did not think they were important.在圣誕佳節之際，我們的注意力都集中到了一個大概2000年前出生的嬰兒身上。那是人生多么平凡的一種開始，而他的父母約瑟和馬利亞也不曾意識到自己有多么重要。

Jesus Christ lived obscurely for most ofhis life, and never travelled far.He was maligned and rejected by many, thoughhe had done no wrong.耶穌基督人生的大部分時候都過得謙遜低調，甚至不曾遠行。即便他未曾行差踏錯，也被許多人毀謗厭棄。

And yet, billions of people now follow histeaching and find in him the guiding light for their lives.即便如此，如今有數十億記的人跟隨他的教誨，把他視作人生的領航燈。

I am one of them because Christ's examplehelps me see the value of doing small things with great love, whoever does themand whatever they themselves believe.我也是其中之一，因為基督的榜樣，我看到了以大愛行小善的意義所在。無論行此善舉的人究竟是誰，也無論他們究竟有何信仰。

The message of Christmas reminds us thatinspiration is a gift to be given as well as received, and that love beginssmall but always grows.圣誕節的到來，提醒我們啟迪與鼓舞是彼此能夠傳遞的禮物，而愛即使生為星火，也可以長而燎原。

I wish you all a very happy Christmas.祝愿各位圣誕快樂！
