2013英语口语：英国女王伊丽莎白2012年圣诞致辞
This past year has been one of great celebration
for many. The enthusiasm which greeted the Diamond
Jubilee was, of course, especially memorable for me and
my family.
过去的一年对很多人来说都是值得庆祝的 一年。当
然，对于我和我的家人来说，登基60周年钻石纪念日的热
情庆祝尤其值得纪念。
It was humbling that so many chose to mark the
anniversary of a duty which passed to me 60 years ago.
People of all ages took the trouble to take part in
various ways and in many nations. But perhaps most
striking of all was to witness the strength of
fellowship and friendship among those who had gathered
together on these occasions.
如此多的人选择庆祝我继 承女王使命六十周年，我感
到十分惶恐。各个国家，各个年龄段的人不辞烦劳，以各种
形式参与 庆祝。然而，最让人印象深刻的，是看到在这些场
合聚集在一起的人身上友谊的力量。
Prince Philip and I were joined by our family on
the River Thames as we paid tribute to those who have
shaped the United Kingdom’s past and future as a
maritime nation, and welcomed a wonderful array of
craft, large and small, from across the Commonwealth.
我和菲利普王子，同我们的家人 一道，在泰晤士河上
向那些塑造了大不列颠王国的历史和未来、让这个国家成为
海上大国的人致 敬，也欢迎了从英联邦各地驶来的优秀的大
小船队。
On the barges and the bridges and the banks of
the river there were people who had taken their places
to cheer through the mist, undaunted by the rain. That
day there was a tremendous sense of common
determination to celebrate, triumphing over the
elements.
在船上、在桥上、在河的两岸，人们不顾下雨天 气，
在薄雾中欢呼。那一天，人们怀着共同的、强烈的庆祝的的
决心，这一决心战胜了其他阻碍 的因素。
That same spirit was also in evidence from the
moment the Olympic flame arrived on these shores. The
flame itself drew hundreds and thousands of people on
its journey around the British Isles, and was carried
by every kind of deserving individual, many nominated
for their own extraordinary service.
同样的 精神也在奥运圣火到达英国各地时显露出来。
传递的圣火吸引了大不列颠群岛各地成百上千的人们，各行
各业各种配得上当火炬手的人手持奥运火种，他们中的很多
人都因杰出的奉献而获得提名。
As London hosted a splendid summer of sport, all
those who saw the achievement and courage at the Olympic
and Paralympic Games were further inspired by the skill,
dedication, training and teamwork of our athletes. In
pursuing their own sporting goals, they gave the rest
of us the opportunity to share something of the
excitement and drama.
今 年夏天，伦敦主办了空前的体育盛事。看到了在奥
运会、残奥会比赛上健儿们的成就和勇气，人们也都为 我们
健儿们的运动技 巧、献身精神、刻苦训练和团队精神所感
动。运动员们在追求自己在体育 上的目标的同时，也给了我
们这些不在场上的人分享激动，以及分享跌宕起伏的比赛的
机会。
We were reminded, too, that the success of these
