英女王2016圣诞致辞中英双语演讲稿
英女王2016圣诞致辞
There was a time when British Olympic medal winners became household names because there were so few of them.
曾几何时，英国奥运奖牌获得者家喻户晓，因为他们凤毛麟角。
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.
而在今年的里约奥运会上，我们斩获67枚奖牌，残奥会147枚，这让白金汉宫款待大不列颠奖牌得主们的招待宴变得拥挤而欢乐。
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.
英联邦各处亦欢欣庆祝，格林纳达、巴哈马群岛、牙买加、新西兰比其他任何国家的人均奖牌数都多。
Many of this year's winners spoke of being inspired by athletes of previous generations.
今年许多胜利者谈到，自己受到前辈的鼓舞。
Inspiration fed their aspiration; and having discovered abilities they scarcely knew they had, these athletes are now inspiring others.
心受鼓舞令人志存高远，这些运动员发现了自己都难以置信的能力，现在他们正鼓舞着他人。
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.
几个月前，我受到另一种鼓舞，我为东盎格鲁救援飞行队在剑桥的新基地剪彩，威廉王子是那里的直升机飞行员。
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.
训练有素的医生、医疗护理人员和机组成员，他们平均每天出勤五次，人们很容易就被他们的奉献精神感召。
But to be inspirational you don't have to save lives or win medals.
但要鼓舞他人，你并不非定要救死扶伤或赢取奖牌。
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.
我常常从普通人身上汲取力量，他们平凡却做着不平凡的事：志愿者、老人看护、社区组织者和友善的邻居，他们是无名的英雄，默默无闻的奉献让他们与众不同。
unsung：未被赞颂的
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.
他们鼓舞着认识他们的人，他们的生活每每体现着特雷莎修女表达的真理，今年特雷莎封圣为“加尔各答的圣特雷莎”。
She once said: 'Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love'.
她曾说：“并非每个人都能做出伟大的事情，但我们可以带着伟大的爱做一些小事。”
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.
有两个出色的组织正是如此，它们是今年六十周年的爱丁堡公爵奖和四十周年的王子信托基金。它们从小做起，如今却超乎预料，并继续改变着年轻人的生活。
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.
为纪念我九十岁生日，来自600个慈善团体的志愿者和支持者来林荫大道参加午宴，我一直以来资助这些团体。
patron：赞助人
Many of these organisations are modest in size but inspire me with the work they do.
许多机构并不大，它们做的事却鼓舞着我。
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. 它们把友谊和支持给予退伍老兵、老年人和丧亲之人；它们赞助音乐和舞蹈；它们提供动物福利；它们保护我们的土地和森林；它们无私的奉献和慷慨的精神堪为典范。
veterans：老兵
bereaved：失去亲人的人
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'. 遭遇挑战的人们有时会说，深吸一口气，拿出勇气和力量。事实上，“鼓舞”的字面意思就是“吸气”。
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.
可即便受到他人鼓舞，我们有时还是发现，这个世界的问题太大，我们所做的不过杯水车薪，这是可以理解的。
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.
就我们自己而言，我们无法结束战争，扫除不公，可成千上万微不足道的善行累加起来，能产生我们想象不到的巨大影响。
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. 圣诞之际，我们又想起两千年前诞生的一个婴儿。他出生极为卑微，父母约瑟和玛丽并不觉得自己有多重要。
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.
耶稣基督一生大部分时光都籍籍无名，未能行走天下。尽管他并没无过错，但还是屡遭诋毁和排挤。
malign [m?'lain]：诽谤、污蔑
And yet, billions of people now follow his teaching and find in him the guiding light for their lives.
而如今，数十亿人追随他的教诲，从他身上发现生命中引路的明灯。
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. 我就是其中一员，因为基督之范让我看到以大爱行小善的价值，无论是谁，无论他信仰什么。
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.
圣诞传达的精神就是让我们记住，对心的启迪和鼓舞是一个礼物，既可接纳也可赠予，而爱起于微末，却总能茁壮成长。
I wish you all a very happy Christmas.
祝各位圣诞快乐。
枯藤老树昏鸦，小桥流水人家，古道西风瘦马。夕阳西下，断肠人在天涯。
圣诞致辞-最新范文
圣诞致辞 原来圣诞节已经到了,从来我都不会对它有任何期盼,也只是个普通的日子而已,那就普通过。不过,我也不会放弃任何一个会让自己开心的机会。昨天已经给昔日好友发了短信,不算过节,只是借个机会送去祝福,希望他们快乐,是他们让我知道,朋友,是一辈子的事。 送出祝福,也是件幸福的事。 平安夜,怎样过的呢？普通。费了好大的劲把衣服给洗了,然后还能干吗,看电影呗。途中班主任勇哥还买了苹果让人送来,又大又红,赚了。快关灯时小船才玩够了回来,带了好些好吃的,好像平静的寝室热闹起来了。她去教堂了,与一帮好友,在她身上我看到了快乐,能与好友一起是件哈恩幸福的事。教堂应该很多人吧,长这么大了都还没去过,一定很热闹。 记得郭敬民写过一句话,“热闹是他们的,我什么也没有”,不知他在写下这句话时是何种心情,我只知道,我想起这句话时,心中无限凄凉,同时,也许有一丝孤寂吧。很奇怪,总会在热闹或该热闹的时候突然沉默,然后看着周围,想着自己是多余的,热闹是他们的。就这样,又一次远离人群,或人,或心。 我是个很少追忆从前的人,所以一但陷入回忆,便难以自拔。躺在床上,眼睛瞪得老大,即使闭上了也很清醒,脑中飘过的是过往,好友们的笑脸,甚至是些微不足道的小事,更多的好像是些沉重的东西。缅怀过去？似乎又是在感慨现在。
昨天已经过去,今天必然到来。 起床后就不停地唱歌,都是周杰伦的,很久以前的,会让我有种回到当初的感觉。苦了瑶瑶和玲玲,好些年没听了,严重走调,难得她们没有把我杀了。 太多的时候,我,或者我们,总会挂念、想起远在他方的朋友,怀念我们的曾经,但似乎忽略了身边的,我们的现在,这是怎样的一个大错。上自习,看着正认真看书的瑶瑶和玲玲,想起还在九教值班的小船、在风雨中测量的娟子,我很感激,感谢老天让我身边总有很多善良的人、美好的事,是他们总陪伴在我身边,温暖而甜蜜。一条条短信发出去之后,一种名叫幸福的感觉荡漾开来。 已不能坚持看书了,收拾好东西,回到寝室,坐到电脑前…… 很多时候会有些感触,可总来不及写下来,或者是不想写。快乐的事吗？本想与众人分享,但他们似乎也只是一旁观者的身份路过,他们的快乐并没有增添一分。伤心难过的事吗？那只会引起读者的哀思,每看一次便沉重一分,这不是我想要的。只记下来自己看吗？如韩寒所说,有发表了文章却没有稿费的感觉,还真不爽。但这次,我必须记下来,挨个发出去。没有稿费？不,它已尽在我囊中。
英国女王伊丽莎白2009年圣诞致辞
英国女王伊丽莎白2009年圣诞致辞 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. 过去每年似乎都各具特点。一些年份让我们心满意足，一些年份则最好忘却。2009年对很多人来说都不好过，尤其是那些深受经济衰退之苦的人们。 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. 我相信，我们所有人都受到阿富汗战事影响，为英军士兵伤亡感到悲伤。我们向这些士兵的家人和朋友表示慰问，他们面对巨大个人损失表现得无比高尚。 But, we can be proud of the positive contribution that our servicemen and women are making, in conjunction with our allies. 但我们应该为我们的士兵与盟友作出的积极贡献而感到骄傲。 Well over 13,000 soldiers from the United Kingdom, and across the Commonwealth - Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore - are currently serving in Afghanistan. 英国和包括加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰和新加坡在内的英联邦国家眼下共有超过1.3万名士兵在阿富汗服役。 The debt of gratitude owed to these young men and women, and to their predecessors, is indeed profound.我们对这些年轻士兵以及先前在阿富汗服役过的士兵表示深深感激。 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. 今年是英联邦成立60周年，今天其成员国25岁以下人口超过10亿，为它保持长久的强大和实用提供了力量源泉。 Recently I attended the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Trinidad and Tobago and heard how important the Commonwealth is to young people. 最近我刚刚参加了在特立尼达和多巴哥举行的英联邦政府首脑会议，听到联邦对年轻人是多么重要。 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. 新的通信技术使他们能够接触到更广阔的世界，分享他们的经验和观点。对于许多人来说，英联邦的实际援助与网络可以提供技能，给予意见和鼓励进取。 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.

At this time of year, few sights evoke more feelings of cheer and goodwill than the twinkling lights of a Christmas tree. 每年此时，没有什么情景比一棵圣诞树上闪烁的灯光更让人感到欢乐祥和。 The popularity of a tree at Christmas is due in part to my great-great 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. 人们对圣诞树的喜爱要部分归功于我的曾曾曾祖父母——维多利亚女王和阿尔伯特亲王。这张温馨的图片公布后，很多家庭都想要一棵自己的圣诞树，这一习俗也很快普及开来。 一年一度最美英音：英女王2015圣诞致辞 In 1949, I spent Christmas in Malta as a newly-married naval wife.

After this touching picture was published, many families wanted a Christmas tree of their own, and the custom soon spread. 人们对圣诞树的喜爱要部分归功于我的高祖父母——维多利亚女王和阿尔伯特亲王。这张温馨的图片公布后，很多家庭都想要一棵自己的圣诞树，这一习俗也很快普及开来。 In 1949, I spent Christmas in Malta as a newly-married naval wife. We have returned to that island over the years, including last month for a meeting of Commonwealth leaders; and this year I met another group of leaders: The Queen's Young Leaders, an inspirational group, each of them a symbol of hope in their own Commonwealth communities. 1949年，初为军嫂的我在马耳他度过圣诞节。这此后多年，我们多次故地重游，上个月还在那里召开英联邦领导人会议。今年我还会晤了另一批领导人，“女王青年领袖”，这是一个鼓舞人心的团体，每个人都是各自英联邦社区的希望。 Gathering round the tree gives us a chance to think about the year ahead -- I am looking forward to a busy 2016, though I have been warned I may have Happy Birthday sung to me more than once or twice. 聚在圣诞树旁，我开始展望来年。我盼望着2016年忙忙碌碌，尽管有人说，我可能不止一次两次听到生日歌。（2016年是伊丽莎白女王九十岁生日，届时多场庆祝活动。） 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. 圣诞树让我们回首过去的一年，于是我们想到了那些远离我们的人。很多人说失去平生所爱后的第一个圣诞节是最艰难的，可此时也该想想我们要感恩的人。 It is true that the world has had to confront moments of darkness this year, but the Gospel of John contains a verse of great hope, often read at Christmas carol services: "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." 今年，我们确实面对了诸多黑暗时刻。可《约翰福音》有一句充满希望的话这样说，圣诞赞歌中常常朗诵，“光明照亮了黑暗，黑暗却无法蒙蔽光明。” 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 returned. 我们心怀感恩的一件事是今年夏天是二战结束七十周年纪念。在对日作战胜利日，我们给在远东作战的在世老兵们授勋，同时也缅怀数千名没有归来的战士。 The procession from Horse Guards Parade to Westminster Abbey must have been one of the

圣诞致辞英文版 XX Christmas Message from Saskatchewan’s Premier Brad Wall December 11, XX In summer of XX, public officials in our province of Saskatchewan issued a decree: that all affected people leave their homes and in mass exodus, travel to places of refuge where they could be safe and accounted for. They were escaping blazing forest fires of epic proportions. It was the largest evacuation in Saskatchewan history. Thousands of people were on the move, all of them in uncertain circumstances, not knowing how quickly they would return home. For a few young women, these circumstances had an added dimension of uncertainty. They were in the late stages of pregnancy. These young women were living as displaced persons far from home, without the supplies they had gathered for their new baby.

英国女王09年圣诞演讲词
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 Commonwealth - Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore - are 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.
