第一篇：1957年英國(guó)女王第一次電視圣誕祝辭

《英女王演說(shuō)集》試讀：1957年圣誕演講

Christmas Broadcast, 1957 Happy Christmas.Twenty-five years ago my grandfather broadcast the first of these Christmas messages.Today is another landmark because television has made it possible for many of you to see me in your homes on Christmas Day.My own family often gather round to watch television as they are this moment, and that is how I imagine you now.I very much hope that this new medium will make my Christmas message more personal and direct.It is inevitable that I should seem a rather remote figure to many of you.A successor to the Kings and Queens of history;someone whose face may be familiar in newspapers and films but who never really touches your personal lives.But now at least for a few minutes I welcome you to the peace of my own home.That it is possible for some of you to see me today is just another example of the speed at which things are changing all around us.Because of these changes I am not surprised that many people feel lost and unable to decide what to hold on to and what to discard.How to take advantage of the new life without losing the best of the old.But it is not the new inventions which are the difficulty.The trouble is caused by unthinking people who carelessly throw away ageless ideals as if they were old and outwornmachinery.They would have religion thrown aside, morality in personal and public life made meaningless, honestly counted as foolishness and self-interest set up in place of self-restraint.At this critical moment in our history we will certainly lose the trust and respect of the world if we just abandon those fundamental principles which guided the men and women who built the greatness of this country and Commonwealth.Today we need a special kind of courage, not the kind needed in battle but a kind which makes us stand up for everything that we know is right, everything that is true and honest.We need the kind of courage that can withstand the subtlecorruption of the cynics so that we can show the world that we are not afraid of the future.It has always been easy to hate and destroy.To build and to cherish is much more difficult.That is why we can take a pride in the new Commonwealth we are building.This year Ghana and Malaya joined our brotherhood.Both these countries are now entirely self-governing.Both achieved their new statusamicablyand peacefully.This advance is a wonderful tribute to the efforts of men of goodwill who have worked together as friends, and I welcome these two countries with all my heart.Last October I opened the new Canadian Parliament, and as you know this was the first time that any Sovereign had done so in Ottawa.Once again I was overwhelmed by the loyalty and enthusiasm of my Canadian people.Also during 1957 my husband and I paid visits to Portugal, France, Denmark and the United States of America.In each case the arrangements and formalities were managed with great skill but no one could have “managed” the welcome we received from the people.In each country I was welcomed as Head of the Commonwealth and as your representative.These nations are our friends largely because we have always tried to do our best to be honest and kindly and because we have tried to stand up for what we believe to be right.In the old days the monarch led his soldiers on the battlefield and his leadership at all times was close and personal.Today things are very different.I cannot lead you into battle, I do not give you laws or administer justice but I can do something else, I can give you my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations.I believe in our qualities and in our strength.I believe that together we can set an example to the world which will encourage upright people everywhere.I would like to read you a few lines fromPilgrim’s Progress, because I am sure we can say with Mr Valiant for Truth, these words: “Though with great difficulty I am got hither, yet now I do not repent me of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am.My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage and my courage and skill to him that can get it.My marks and scars I carry with me, to be a witness for me that I have fought his battles who now will be my rewarder.”

I hope that 1958 may bring you God’s blessing and all the things you long for.And so I wish you all, young and old, wherever you may be, all the fun and enjoyment, and the peace of a very happy Christmas.圣誕演講，1957年圣誕快樂(lè)！25年前，我的祖父第一次發(fā)表了這樣的圣誕演說(shuō)。今天又是一個(gè)具有里程碑意義的時(shí)刻，電視的普及，使得你們可以在圣誕這一天，在自己的家中看到我。我和我的家人也常常圍坐在一起看電視，他們此刻也正坐在電視機(jī)前。我想象中的你們，此刻便是如此。我衷心希望這一新媒體能讓我的圣誕演說(shuō)以一種更親近、更直接的方式呈現(xiàn)在你們面前。在你們中的許多人看來(lái)，我是個(gè)遙不可及的人物，這也許是不可避免的。對(duì)于你們來(lái)說(shuō)，我也許只是歷史上那些國(guó)王和女王的繼承人，一個(gè)在報(bào)紙和紀(jì)錄片里十分熟悉，卻從未走進(jìn)你們個(gè)人生活的人物。但現(xiàn)在，至少在這幾分鐘內(nèi)，歡迎你們來(lái)到我的家中，與我共享這里的寧謐。你們中的一些人今天可能看到我，這又一次表明我們周遭的事物變化有多快速。因?yàn)檫@些變化，很多人感到無(wú)所適從，不知道該堅(jiān)持什么，又該放棄什么，不知道該如何利用新生活的便利，同時(shí)又不忘記傳統(tǒng)事物的好處。對(duì)此，我毫不驚訝。但我們面臨的難題并非是這些新鮮的發(fā)明。真正的問(wèn)題來(lái)自缺乏思考能力的人們，他們將經(jīng)久不衰的美好信念像破舊過(guò)時(shí)的機(jī)器一般棄置一旁。他們拋棄了宗教信仰，在個(gè)人和公眾生活中無(wú)視道德的意義，將誠(chéng)實(shí)視作愚蠢，用自私代替了自制。在這個(gè)我國(guó)歷史的關(guān)鍵時(shí)期，如果不堅(jiān)持我們的基本信條，我們就會(huì)失去世界的信任和尊重。正是這些信條曾引領(lǐng)我們的人民，鑄就了英國(guó)和英聯(lián)邦的輝煌。今日，我們需要一種異乎尋常的勇氣，這種勇氣不是用在戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上，而是要讓我們站起來(lái)維護(hù)自己所認(rèn)定為正確的一切，我們所認(rèn)定為真實(shí)和真誠(chéng)的一切。我們需要這樣的勇氣來(lái)抵御犬儒主義者不易覺(jué)察的腐蝕，這樣我們才能告訴世界：面對(duì)未來(lái)，我們不會(huì)畏懼。仇恨和毀滅一向都來(lái)得容易，而營(yíng)建和珍惜卻伴隨著重重困難。正因?yàn)槿绱?，我們可以為我們正在營(yíng)建的這個(gè)嶄新的英聯(lián)邦而自豪。今年，加納和馬來(lái)亞加入了我們的同盟。兩國(guó)如今都是完全自治的國(guó)家，也都是以友好和平的方式步入這一新的歷史階段的。這一進(jìn)程是善良的人們團(tuán)結(jié)一致、共同合作所取得的非凡成就，我發(fā)自內(nèi)心地對(duì)這兩個(gè)國(guó)家伸出歡迎之手。去年10月，我宣布了加拿大議會(huì)的開幕。正如你們所知悉的，這是第一次由國(guó)家元首在渥太華宣布議會(huì)開幕。我也再一次因我的加拿大子民的忠誠(chéng)和熱情而受寵若驚。同樣是在1957年，我的丈夫和我訪問(wèn)了葡萄牙、法國(guó)、丹麥和美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)。每次的日程和事務(wù)都有著周密細(xì)致的安排，但無(wú)法事先“安排”的，是民眾對(duì)我們的熱忱歡迎。在每個(gè)國(guó)度，我都以英聯(lián)邦國(guó)家元首以及你們的代表人的身份而受到禮遇。這些國(guó)家之所以成為我們的朋友，是因?yàn)槲覀円恢睉汛д\(chéng)信和友善，也因?yàn)槲覀円恢眻?jiān)定維護(hù)著自己關(guān)于正義的信念。在過(guò)去的年代，國(guó)王引領(lǐng)士兵走上戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)，其統(tǒng)治方式一直是直接而個(gè)人化的。今天的一切卻已大不相同。我不會(huì)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)你們走上戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)，也不會(huì)給你們制定法律、裁定正義。但我可以做其他事，我可以將我的真心和奉獻(xiàn)，給予這幾座歷史悠久的島嶼，以及我們兄弟國(guó)家的所有子民們。我相信我們的品質(zhì)和力量。我相信我們能夠共同為這個(gè)世界樹立一個(gè)榜樣，給世界各地正直的人們以鼓舞。我想將《天路歷程》中的幾行文章讀與諸位，因?yàn)槲蚁嘈盼覀兛梢韵駮锏摹皥?jiān)忍勇士”一樣，說(shuō)出以下這些話：“雖然我一路上經(jīng)歷千辛萬(wàn)苦，我并不后悔。我的劍留給繼承我走天路的人。我的勇敢和武藝，留給那配得上的人。我的傷痕，我要帶去，作為我曾為主作戰(zhàn)的證據(jù)。必要報(bào)賞我?！蔽蚁Ｍ?958年，主將賜福予你們，也賜予你們所希望的一切。所以我祝愿你們，無(wú)論年齡長(zhǎng)幼，身在何方，皆擁有意趣和歡樂(lè)，在安寧中度過(guò)一個(gè)非常愉快的圣誕。

第二篇：圣誕祝辭

音樂(lè)響起來(lái)了，愿祥和的旋律伴隨大家歡度今宵，再次祝大家圣誕快樂(lè)！永遠(yuǎn)快樂(lè)！

第三篇：2015英國(guó)女王圣誕致辭

2015英國(guó)女王圣誕致辭

At this time of year, few sights evoke① more feelings of cheer and goodwill② than the twinkling lights③ of a Christmas tree.每年的這個(gè)時(shí)候，沒(méi)有什么風(fēng)景能比圣誕樹上閃爍的燈光更能勾起我愉快和美好的感覺(jué)。

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.圣誕樹的流行源于我的曾曾祖父母：維多利亞女王和阿爾伯塔親王。當(dāng)這幅觸動(dòng)人心的畫公布之后，很多家庭都想要個(gè)自己的圣誕樹，從此，圣誕樹的風(fēng)俗漸漸擴(kuò)散開來(lái)。

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 inspirational? group, each of them a symbol of hope? in their own Commonwealth communities.1949年，作為一個(gè)海軍軍人的新婚妻子，我在“馬耳他”度過(guò)了圣誕節(jié)1。后來(lái)，我曾多次回到那個(gè)島上，上個(gè)月，在2015英聯(lián)邦領(lǐng)袖的峰會(huì)上，我還剛?cè)ミ^(guò)。今年，我還見到了另一群領(lǐng)袖：女王的青年領(lǐng)袖，他們是一群朝氣蓬勃鼓舞人心的群體，每個(gè)人都代表他們各【注】自領(lǐng)域的希望2。

【注】____________

注1：當(dāng)年女王還是伊麗莎白公主，丈夫菲利普親王服役英國(guó)皇家海軍，部隊(duì)當(dāng)時(shí)駐扎在馬耳他。注2：今年6月，女王在白金漢宮接見了英國(guó)各屆的青年領(lǐng)袖代表。

?it's no surprise that...：...一點(diǎn)都不令人意外

?capture our imagination：抓住我們的想象（文中翻譯的很好：令我們浮想聯(lián)翩）inspire all of us who are Christians, the world over.對(duì)約瑟夫和圣母瑪麗亞來(lái)說(shuō)，耶穌在馬廄里出生時(shí)的環(huán)境格外嚴(yán)酷，但比那更糟的是這一家人要被迫背井離鄉(xiāng)。這個(gè)人性化的故事至今仍然能讓我們浮想聯(lián)翩，它依然在啟迪著全世界的基督教徒們，一點(diǎn)都不令人意外。

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.盡管曾經(jīng)流離失所，并在他短短的一生中慘遭迫害，基督一直向人們傳達(dá)的信息絕對(duì)與復(fù)仇或暴力無(wú)關(guān)，他只想告訴人們要相互關(guān)愛(ài)。盡管這并非易事，但我們不應(yīng)該就此灰心。相反，他們鼓舞我們更加努力，讓我們感恩那些給我們生命中帶來(lái)愛(ài)與歡樂(lè)的人，也讓我們想方設(shè)法把這些愛(ài)傳遞給他人，無(wú)論何時(shí)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!擁有一段漫長(zhǎng)人生的樂(lè)趣之一就是能看到自己的兒女、孫輩和重孫輩一起來(lái)幫忙裝飾圣誕

②being persecuted：被迫害（指耶穌被處以十字架的極刑）

③unchanging message：矢志不渝的信息

④look for ways of：尋找...的道路

There's an old saying that① 'it is better to light a candle than curse the darkness'.古語(yǔ)云，“與其詛咒黑暗，不如點(diǎn)亮明燭?！?/p>

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，在我們生活的這個(gè)世界，有數(shù)百萬(wàn)人點(diǎn)亮了希望的蠟燭。圣誕節(jié)是一個(gè)感謝他們的絕佳機(jī)會(huì)，同時(shí)也感謝那些照亮我們生命的人們。

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 diverse 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.
