英国女王2021圣诞致辞

Although it's a time of great happiness and good cheer for many, Christmas can be hard for those who have lost loved ones. This year, especially, I understand why.

虽然对于许多人来说，这是一个充满幸福和欢乐的时刻，但是对于那些失去挚爱的人来说，圣诞节可能会很难熬。特别是今年，我非常理解这一点。

But for me, in the months since the death of my beloved Philip, I have drawn great comfort from the warmth and affection of the many tributes to his life and work – from around the country, the Commonwealth and the world. 

但是对于我来说，在我至爱的菲利普去世后的几个月里，我从来自全英各地、英联邦和全世界对他生活和工作的众多赞美中得到了极大的安慰。

His sense of service, intellectual curiosity and capacity to squeeze fun out of any situation – were all irrepressible. That mischievous, enquiring twinkle was as bright at the end as when I first set eyes on him.

他的服务意识、求知欲和从任何处境中激发乐趣的能力，都是由衷而发的。他那调皮、好奇的眼神，无论是在他生命的最后时刻，还是我们第一次相见时一样明亮。

But life, of course, consists of final partings as well as first meetings; and as much as I and my family miss him, I know he would want us to enjoy Christmas.

但是，生命当然包括最初的相遇和最后的离别——尽管我和我的家人们无比想念他，我知道他希望我们享受圣诞节。
