―Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world onfire.‖ So said St Catherine of Siena whose festival day it is today.Marriage is intended to be a way in which man and woman helpeach other to become what God meant each one to be, their deepest and truest selves.―成為遵循上帝旨意的人,你就會激勵這個世界。‖圣.凱瑟琳錫耶納說到。婚姻應該是男人和女人相互幫助成為遵循上帝旨意的人,回歸最深入、最真實的自我。
Many are full of fear for the future of the prospects of our world but the message of thecelebrations in this country and far beyond its shores is the right one – this is a joyful day!It isgood that people in every continent are able to share in these celebrations because this is, as everywedding day should be, a day of hope.很多人對我們這個世界未來的前景非常恐懼,但在這個國家以及那些遠遠超越其國界的地方傳遞出的這個慶賀的信息是正確的——這是一個令人歡欣的日子!在每一塊陸地上的人們都能夠一起慶賀,這很好,因為每一個婚禮的日子都應該是一個充滿希望的日子。
In a sense every wedding is a royal wedding with the bride and the groom as king and queenof creation, making a new life together so that life can flow through them into the future.從某種意義上說,每一個婚禮都是王室婚禮,作為造物主的國王和王后,新郎和新娘共同創造新的生活,讓生命通過他們延續到未來。
William and Catherine, you have chosen to be married in the sight of a generous God who soloved the world that he gave himself to us in the person of Jesus Christ.威廉和凱瑟琳,你們選擇了在仁慈的上帝面前結婚,他對這個世界是如此的慈愛,以至于通過耶穌.基督這個人把他自己給予了我們。
And in the Spirit of this generous God, husband and wife are to give themselves to eachanother.在這個仁慈上帝的精神下,夫妻將把自己奉獻給彼此。
A spiritual life grows as love finds its centre beyond ourselves.Faithful and committed relationships offer a door into themystery of spiritual life in which we discover this;the more wegive of self, the richer we become in soul;the more we gobeyond ourselves in love, the more we become our true selvesand our spiritual beauty is more fully revealed.In marriage weare seeking to bring one another into fuller life.當愛情在自我之外找到它的中心點時,精神生活才會成長。建立在忠實和承諾基礎上的關系為神秘的精神生活打開一一扇門,在其中我們會發現,我們越多的奉獻自我,在靈魂
上我們就越富有;在愛情上我們越多的超越自我,我們就會變得更接近真實的自我,我們的精神之美就會更多地顯現出來。在婚姻中,我們追求帶給彼此更完善的生活。
It is of course very hard to wean ourselves away from self-centredness.And people candream of doing such a thing but the hope should be fulfilled it is necessary a solemn decision that,whatever the difficulties, we are committed to the way of generous love.當然,一下子改變自我為中心是很難。人們可以夢想著這樣做,但應該履行這樣的希望生命是精神的成長,將會為人類帶來一個有創意的未來。
We stand looking forward to a century which is full of promise and full of peril.Human beingsare confronting the question of how to use wisely a power that has been given to us through thediscoveries of the last century.We shall not be converted to the promise of the future by moreknowledge, but rather by an increase of loving wisdom and reverence, for life, for the earth and forone another.我們共同期待著一個既充滿希望又充滿危險的世紀,通過上個世紀的發現,人類面臨著如何智慧的運用賦予我們手中權力的問題,我們不會靠更多的知識而轉變成未來的希望,而是通過對生命、大地、以及彼此的愛的智慧和崇敬。
Marriage should transform, as husband and wife make one another their work of art.It ispossible to transform as long as we do not harbour ambitions to reform our partner.There mustbe no coercion if the Spirit is to flow;each must give the other space and freedom.Chaucer, theLondon poet, sums it up in a pithy phrase:
婚姻是應該令人改變的,只要這種改變是建立在夫妻將對方成為自己的藝術作品。婚姻是可以改變的人的,只要我們不要有去改造對方的雄心。精神的成長絕對不是靠強制,每個人必須給予對方空間和自由。倫敦的詩人喬叟,在詩中寫道:
―Whan maistrie [mastery] comth, the God of Love anon,Beteth his wynges, and farewell, he is gon.‖
As the reality of God has faded from so many lives in the West, there has been acorresponding inflation of expectations that personal relations alone will supply meaning andhappiness in life.This is to load our partner with too great a burden.We are all incomplete: we allneed the love which is secure, rather than oppressive, we need mutual forgiveness, to thrive.由于在西方很多人淡忘了上帝這樣的現實,從而產生了對兩性關系相應膨脹的期望,希望兩性關系能提供生活的意義與幸福。這會給我們的伴侶帶來巨大的負擔。我們都不完整:我們都需要安全而不是壓抑的愛,我們需要相互寬恕,共同成長。
As we move towards our partner in love, following the exampleof Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit is quickened within us and canincreasingly fill our lives with light.This leads to a family life whichoffers the best conditions in which the next generation canpractise and exchange those gifts which can overcome fear anddivision and incubate the coming world of the Spirit, whose fruitsare love and joy and peace.遵循著耶穌.基督的榜樣,當我們心懷仁慈走向我們的伴侶時,圣靈在我們之中增長,我們的生活會越來越充滿光明。這會為下一代提供最佳的家庭生活條件,在這種條件下,下一代能夠訓練和交換那些能夠克服恐懼和分裂才能,并培養未來世界的精神,這精神成果是愛、歡樂與和平。
I pray that all of us present and the many millions watching this ceremony and sharing in yourjoy today, will do everything in our power to support and uphold you in your new life.And I praythat God will bless you in the way of life that you have chosen, that way which is expressed in theprayer that you have composed together in preparation for this day:
我祈禱今天所有在場的以及觀看今天儀式并分享歡樂的億萬人民,都能盡其所能支持你們的新生活。我也祈禱上帝能夠保佑你們,使你們所選擇的生活正如你們之前寫下的祈禱一樣美滿:
God our Father, we thank you for our families;for the love that we share and for the joy ofour marriage.我們的天父,我們感謝您賜予我們彼此的家庭,相互的愛情以及幸福的婚姻。
In the busyness of each day keep our eyes fixed on what is real and important in life and helpus to be generous with our time and love and energy.讓我們在忙碌的每一天中,將目光放在生命里真實而重要的事情上,指引我們奉獻我們的時間、愛與能量。
Strengthened by our union help us to serve and comfort those who suffer.We ask this in theSpirit of Jesus Christ.Amen.讓我們結合并增強力量,指引我們去服務與安慰那些受苦的人。我們以耶穌基督的精神祈禱。阿門。

第五篇:如何讓看待威廉王子訪華
《如何看待威廉王子訪華》
威廉王子是應中國外交學會的邀請對中國進行訪問的,本次威廉王子訪華將會對中國的北京,上海,云南三地進行訪問,期間受到習近平主席等有關領導的接見。
英國威廉王子王子訪華被視為是為習近平主席訪英做準備工作,同時修補和改善本已受傷的中英關系,英國和法國,德國被譽為歐洲三駕馬車,對整個歐洲經濟,安全和國際事態都有著舉足輕重的地位,尤其是金融危機和歐洲債務危機接連爆發后,英國的經濟一蹶不振,甚至面臨著經濟崩盤的危險,而中國作為世界上經濟發展速度最快的國家之一,被稱贊為世界經濟發展的引擎,同時也是聯合國常任理事國,在國際社會和許多發展中國家里擁有重要的地位和影響力,所以本次威廉王子訪華是想借訪問之際和中國談合作和資本投入。起到一個和事老和中介的作用
威廉王子作為英國王室對中國進行訪問,而不是代表英國政府,英國王室是整個大英帝國和英聯邦的名義上所效忠的對象,擁有非常大的國際影響力,但是英國王室和女王本人都不能過度的沾染政治,這也是英國王室能存在至今的重要原因,所以本次威廉王子訪華,應該不會過多的涉及政治,經貿和軍事合作,更多的談及的是文化,教育,衛生,慈善等方面的問題,這類問題雖不是對兩國關系產生重大影響的關系,但卻對如今的中英關系十分重要,如今的英國再不復當年大英帝國的雄風,而中國也不是當年的清政府,如今的英國對中國更多的只能是談合作而不是侵略,但是許多英國政客卻仍然把今天的中國當成昔日的清政府來對待,英國首相曾接見**和反華分子,甚至一直在涉藏和涉港問題上與中國政府背道而馳,是本來就很脆弱的中英關系雪上加霜,所以本次威廉王子訪華是想通過對中國進行軟外交達到改善中英關系的目的。
其次威廉王子訪問的北京,上海,云南是他的祖母曾經訪問過中國的地方,他同時也想借此次訪問讓中國人民重新記得在世界的東方還有一個英國王室,從而加深中國人民對英王室的感情以及重視。(此評論完全由本人撰寫,部分意見參考了其他有關資料)
