禁庭春昼,莺羽披新绣。

Get Flash Player Text of the Queen's Christmas message Each year that passes seems to have its own character.Some leave us with a feeling of satisfaction, others are best forgotten.2009 was a difficult year for many, in particular those facing the continuing effects of the economic downturn.I am sure that we have all been affected by events in Afghanistan and saddened by the casualties suffered by our forces serving there.Our thoughts go out to their relations and friends who have shown immense dignity in the face of great personal loss.But, we can be proud of the positive contribution that our servicemen and women are making, in conjunction with our allies.Well over 13,000 soldiers from the United Kingdom, and across the Commonwealthare currently serving in Afghanistan.The debt of gratitude owed to these young men and women, and to their predecessors, is indeed profound.It is 60 years since the Commonwealth was created and today, with more than a billion of its members under the age of 25, the organisation remains a strong and practical force for good.Recently, I attended the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Trinidad and Tobago and heard how important the Commonwealth is to young people.New communication technologies allow them to reach out to the wider world and share their experiences and viewpoints.For many, the practical assistance and networks of the Commonwealth can give skills, lend advice and encourage enterprise.It is inspiring to learn of some of the work being done by these young people, who bring creativity and innovation to the challenges they face.It is important to keep discussing issues that concern us all-there can be no more valuable role for our family of nations.I have been closely associated with the Commonwealth through most of its existence.The personal and living bond I have enjoyed with leaders, and with people the world over, has always been more important in promoting our unity than symbolism alone.The Commonwealth is not an organisation with a mission.It is rather an opportunity for its people to work together to achieve practical solutions to problems.In many aspects of our lives, whether in sport, the environment, business or culture, the Commonwealth connection remains vivid and enriching.It is, in lots of ways, the face of the future.And with continuing support and dedication, I am confident that this perse Commonwealth of nations can strengthen the common bond that transcends politics, religion, race and economic circumstances.We know that Christmas is a time for celebration and family reunions;but it is also a time to reflect on what confronts those less fortunate than ourselves, at home and throughout the world.Christians are taught to love their neighbours, having compassion and concern, and being ready to undertake charity and voluntary work to ease the burden of deprivation and disadvantage.We may ourselves be confronted by a bewildering array of difficulties and challenges, but we must never cease to work for a better future for ourselves and for others.I wish you all, wherever you may be, a very happy Christmas.
第二篇:2016英国女王致辞
英国女王2016年圣诞致辞
There was a time when British Olympic medal winners became household names because there were so few of them.But the 67 medals at this year's Games in Rio and 147 at the Paralympics meant that the GB medallists' reception at Buckingham Palace was a crowded and happy event.Throughout the Commonwealth there were equally joyful celebrations.Grenada, the Bahamas, Jamaica and New Zealand won more medals per head of population than any other countries.Many of this year's winners spoke of being inspired by athletes of previous generations.Inspiration fed their aspiration;and having discovered abilities they scarcely knew they had, these athletes are now inspiring others.A few months ago, I saw inspiration of a different kind when I opened the new Cambridge base of the East Anglian Air Ambulance, where Prince William works as a helicopter pilot.It was not hard to be moved by the dedication of the highly skilled doctors, paramedics and crew, who are called out on average five times a day.But to be inspirational you don't have to save lives or win medals.I often draw strength from meeting ordinary people doing extraordinary things: volunteers, carers, community organisers and good neighbours;unsung heroes whose quiet dedication makes them special.They are an inspiration to those who know them, and their lives frequently embody a truth expressed by Mother Teresa, from this year Saint Teresa of Calcutta.She once said: 'Not all of us can do great things.But we can do small things with great love'.This has been the experience of two remarkable organisations, The Duke of Edinburgh's Award and The Prince's Trust, which are 60 and 40 years old this year.These started as small initiatives but have grown beyond any expectations, and continue to transform young people's lives.To mark my 90th birthday, volunteers and supporters of the six hundred charities of which I have been patron came to a lunch in The Mall.Many of these organisations are modest in size but inspire me with the work they do.From giving friendship and support to our veterans, the elderly or the bereaved;to championing music and dance;providing animal welfare;or protecting our fields and forests, their selfless devotion and generosity of spirit is an example to us all.When people face a challenge they sometimes talk about taking a deep breath to find courage or strength.In fact, the word 'inspire' literally means 'to breathe in.But even with the inspiration of others, it's understandable that we sometimes think the world's problems are so big that we can do little to help.On our own, we cannot end wars or wipe out injustice, but the cumulative impact of thousands of small acts of goodness can be bigger than we imagine.At Christmas, our attention is drawn to the birth of a baby some two thousand years ago.It was the humblest of beginnings, and his parents, Joseph and Mary, did not think they were important.Jesus Christ lived obscurely for most of his life, and never travelled far.He was maligned and rejected by many, though he had done no wrong.And yet, billions of people now follow his teaching and find in him the guiding light for their lives.I am one of them because Christ's example helps me see the value of doing small things with great love, whoever does them and whatever they themselves believe.'The message of Christmas reminds us that inspiration is a gift to be given as well as received, and that love begins small but always grows.I wish you all a very happy Christmas.

第五篇:2015英国女王圣诞致辞
2015英国女王圣诞致辞
At this time of year, few sights evoke① more feelings of cheer and goodwill② than the twinkling lights③ of a Christmas tree.每年的这个时候,没有什么风景能比圣诞树上闪烁的灯光更能勾起我愉快和美好的感觉。
The popularity of a tree at Christmas is due④ in part⑤ to my great-great grandparents, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.After this touching⑥ picture was published, many families wanted a Christmas tree of their own, and the custom soon spread⑦.圣诞树的流行源于我的曾曾祖父母:维多利亚女王和阿尔伯塔亲王。当这幅触动人心的画公布之后,很多家庭都想要个自己的圣诞树,从此,圣诞树的风俗渐渐扩散开来。
In 1949, I spent Christmas in Malta as a newly-married⑧ naval wife.We have returned to that island over the years, including last month for a meeting of
⑨Commonwealth leaders⑩;and this year I met another group of leaders: The Queen's Young Leaders, an inspirational⑪ group, each of them a symbol of hope⑫ in their own Commonwealth communities.1949年,作为一个海军军人的新婚妻子,我在“马耳他”度过了圣诞节1。后来,我曾多次回到那个岛上,上个月,在2015英联邦领袖的峰会上,我还刚去过。今年,我还见到了另一群领袖:女王的青年领袖,他们是一群朝气蓬勃鼓舞人心的群体,每个人都代表他们各【注】自领域的希望2。
【注】____________
注1:当年女王还是伊丽莎白公主,丈夫菲利普亲王服役英国皇家海军,部队当时驻扎在马耳他。注2:今年6月,女王在白金汉宫接见了英国各届的青年领袖代表。

Despite being displaced① and persecuted② throughout his short life, Christ's unchanging message③ was not one of revenge or violence but simply that we should love one another.Although it is not an easy message to follow, we shouldn't be discouraged;rather, it inspires us to try harder: to be thankful for the people who bring love and happiness into our own lives, and to look for ways of④ spreading that love to others, whenever and wherever we can.尽管曾经流离失所,并在他短短的一生中惨遭迫害,基督一直向人们传达的信息绝对与复仇或暴力无关,他只想告诉人们要相互关爱。尽管这并非易事,但我们不应该就此灰心。相反,他们鼓舞我们更加努力,让我们感恩那些给我们生命中带来爱与欢乐的人,也让我们想方设法把这些爱传递给他人,无论何时何地。
One of the joys of living a long life is watching one's children, then grandchildren, then great grandchildren, help⑥ decorate the Christmas tree.And this year my family has a new member to join in the fun!拥有一段漫长人生的乐趣之一就是能看到自己的儿女、孙辈和重孙辈一起来帮忙装饰圣诞
【注】树,而今年我的家族又迎来了一个新成员,一起来享受这样的欢乐时光!⑤The customary decorations have changed little in the years since that picture of Victoria and Albert's tree first appeared, although of course electric lights have replaced the candles.⑦

There's an old saying that① 'it is better to light a candle than curse the darkness'.古语云,“与其诅咒黑暗,不如点亮明烛。”
There are millions of people lighting candles of hope② in our world today.Christmas is a good time to③ be thankful for④ them, and for all that brings light to our lives.如今,在我们生活的这个世界,有数百万人点亮了希望的蜡烛。圣诞节是一个感谢他们的绝佳机会,同时也感谢那些照亮我们生命的人们。
