【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 piness into our own lives, and to look for ways of spreading that love to others, whenever and wherever we can.
盡管踐行不易，我們也不要灰心。這鼓勵著我們要加倍努力，感謝那些給我們生命帶來愛和幸福的人，并想方設(shè)法將那份愛傳遞給他人——無論何時，無論何地。
one of the joys of living a long life is watching one’s children, then grandchildren, then great grandchildren, help decorate the christmas tree. and this year my family has a new member to join in the fun!
長壽的喜悅之一是兒孫繞膝。先是兒女，然后是孫輩，現(xiàn)在有重孫輩幫我裝扮圣誕樹。今年，我家又有一位新成員共享天倫。
the customary decorations have changed little in the years since that picture of victoria and alberts tree first appeared, although of course electric lights have replaced the candles.
自維多利亞和阿爾伯特的圣誕樹出現(xiàn)以來，傳統(tǒng)的圣誕裝飾變化甚微，當(dāng)然，電燈取代了蠟燭。
there’s an old saying that “it is better to light a candle than curse the darkness”.
there are millions of people lighting candles of hope in our world ，“與其詛咒黑暗不如點(diǎn)燃蠟燭”。今天，我們的世界，成百上千萬的人點(diǎn)燃希望的燭火。
christmas is a good time to be thankful for them, and for all that brings light to our lives. 值此圣誕佳節(jié)，向他們表示感謝，感謝所有給我們生活帶來光明的人。 i wish you a very happy christmas. 我祝愿大家圣誕節(jié)快樂。篇二：英國女王2020圣誕致辭
英國女王2020圣誕致辭 queen’s christmas broadcast 2020
at this time of year, few sights evoke more feelings of cheer and goodwill than the twinkling lights of a christmas tree.
每年此時，沒有什么情景比一棵圣誕樹上閃爍的燈光更讓人感到歡樂祥和。
the popularity of a tree at christmas is due in part to my greatgreat grandparents, queen victoria and prince albert. after this touching picture was published, many families wanted a christmas tree of their own, and the custom soon spread.
人們對圣誕樹的喜愛要部分歸功于我的高祖父母——維多利亞女王和阿爾伯特親王。這張溫馨的圖片公布后，很多家庭都想要一棵自己的圣誕樹，這一習(xí)俗也很快普及開來。
1949年，初為軍嫂的我在馬耳他度過圣誕節(jié)。這此后多年，我們多次故地重游，上個月還在那里召開英聯(lián)邦領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人會議。今年我還會晤了另一批領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人，“女王青年領(lǐng)袖”，這是一個鼓舞人心的團(tuán)體，每個人都是各自英聯(lián)邦社區(qū)的希望。
gathering round the tree gives us a chance to think about the year ahead i am looking forward to a busy 2020, though i have been warned i may have happy birthday sung to me more than once or twice.
聚在圣誕樹旁，我開始展望來年。我盼望著2020年忙忙碌碌，盡管有人說，我可能不止一次兩次聽到生日歌。（2020年是伊麗莎白女王九十歲生日，屆時多場慶?；顒?。）
it also allows us to reflect on the year that has passed, as we think of those who are far away or no longer with us. many people say the first christmas after losing a loved one is particularly hard. but it’s also a time to remember all that we have to be thankful for.
圣誕樹讓我們回首過去的一年，于是我們想到了那些遠(yuǎn)離我們的人。很多人說失去平生所愛后的第一個圣誕節(jié)是最艱難的，可此時也該想想我們要感恩的人。
今年，我們確實(shí)面對了諸多黑暗時刻。可《約翰福音》有一句充滿希望的話這樣說，圣誕贊歌中常常朗誦，“光明照亮了黑暗，黑暗卻無法蒙蔽光明?！?br />one cause for thankfulness this summer was marking seventy years since the end of the second world war. on vj day, we honoured the remaining veterans of that terrible conflict in the far east, as well as remembering the thousands who never 。在對日作戰(zhàn)勝利日，我們給在遠(yuǎn)東作戰(zhàn)的在世老兵們授勛，同時也緬懷數(shù)千名沒有歸來的戰(zhàn)士。
the procession from horse guards parade to westminster abbey must have been one of the slowest ever, because so many people wanted to say thank you to ，太多的人想對他們說一聲“謝謝”。
at the end of that war, the people of oslo began sending an annual gift of a christmas tree for trafalgar square. it has five hundred lightbulbs and is enjoyed not just by christians but by people of all faiths, and of none. at the very top sits a bright
