【资讯】英国女王圣诞致辞：岁月流逝，爱永存-新东方前途出国

　　临近年末，回首一年来的时光，疫情是个避不开的话题。对于英国来说也是如此，尤其是这一个多月以来，病毒变异导致伦敦等地紧急“封城”，原定可以短暂相聚的圣诞计划也被迫改变。 

　　今年已经94岁的伊丽莎白女王30多年来首次与家人分开过圣诞节。不过跟往年一样，女王如期发表了2020年度圣诞致辞，主题为“你并不孤单（You are not alone）”。 、

2020女王演讲内容节选 

　　Every year we herald the coming of Christmas by turning on the lights. And light does more than create a festive mood – light brings hope.

　　每年我们都会开灯预告圣诞节的到来。光不仅仅创造了一种节日气氛——光带来了希望。

　　In the United Kingdom and around the world, people have risen magnificently to the challenges of the year, and I am so proud and moved by this quiet, indomitable spirit. To our young people in particular I say thank you for the part you have played.

　　英国和世界各地的人们都勇敢地面对了这一年的挑战，我为这种沉着、不屈不挠的精神感到骄傲和感动。在这里，我特别要感谢我们的年轻人，感谢你们所发挥的作用。

　　Today, our front-line services still shine that lamp for us – supported by the amazing achievements of modern science – and we owe them a debt of gratitude. We continue to be inspired by the kindness of strangers and draw comfort that – even on the darkest nights – there is hope in the new dawn.

　　在现代科学的惊人成就的支持下，我们的一线医护服务为我们照亮了这盏明灯。我对他们的感谢之情无以言表。我们继续被陌生人的善意所鼓舞，并从中得到安慰——即使在最黑暗的夜晚，新的黎明也将充满希望。

　　Of course, for many, this time of year will be tinged with sadness: some mourning the loss of those dear to them, and others missing friends and family-members distanced for safety, when all they’d really want for Christmas is a simple hug or a squeeze of the hand. If you are among them, you are not alone.

　　当然，对很多人来说，每年的这个时候都会掺杂着悲伤：有人哀悼逝去的挚爱，有人思念无法相见的亲友;为了安全起见，一个简单的拥抱和牵手也无法实现。如果你正在经历这些，请记住你并不孤单。

　　The Bible tells how a star appeared in the sky, its light guiding the shepherds and wise men to the scene of Jesus’s birth. Let the light of Christmas – the spirit of selflessness, love and above all hope – guide us in the times ahead.

　　《圣经》讲述过星星指引牧羊人与三位智者前往耶稣诞生地的故事。让圣诞之光——无私、爱与希望引导我们继续前进。

　　自1953年正式登基加冕以来，英国女王在60多年中见证了无数历史大事的发生，不过无论有多云波诡谲，每年的圣诞致辞都是充满爱、和平、感恩与希望。
