我把这几次医院探望称之为“荣幸”，是因为我见到的那些伤者是我们所有人的榜样，他们展现出了非同凡响的勇敢和坚韧。事实也正是如此，因为不过几天之后，许多袭击中的幸存者就再次聚集到一起，参与了一场慈善演唱会。这是对我们共同信念的重申，也是对所有那些年轻人称之为“家”的城市的主权宣誓。
We expect our homes to be a place of safety - sanctuary, even - which makes it all the more shocking when the comfort they provide is shattered. A few weeks ago, the Prince of Wales visited the Caribbean in the aftermath of hurricanes that destroyed entire communities.
我们都希望我们的家是安全的地方，甚至是圣所一样的存在，但也正是如此，当家所提供的温暖舒适遭到破坏的时候，这一切才更令人震悚。就在几周前，威尔士王子（注：即查尔斯）也刚刚访问了遭遇飓风袭击后邻里街访遭遇破坏性打击的加勒比地区。
And here, in London, who can forget the sheer awfulness of the Grenfell Tower fire? Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who died and those who lost so much, and we are indebted to members of the emergency services who risked their own lives this past year, saving others.
而就在这里，在伦敦，谁能够忘怀那纯粹可怕的格伦费尔大厦火灾呢？我们的心绪和祈祷，都与受害者和那些失去太多的人们同在。而对那些在过去一年内冒着生命危险去援救他人的紧急救援队伍成员们，我们也十分感激。
Many of them, of course, will not be at home today, because they are working to protect us. Reflecting on these events makes me grateful for the blessings of home and family and, in particular, for 70 years of marriage. I don't know that anyone had invented the term 'platinum' for a 70th wedding anniversary. When I was born, you weren't expected to be around that long.
而他们中许多人，今天毫无疑问也无法回家团聚，因为他们为了保护我们而坚守在工作岗位上。回顾这些事件，让我对家和家庭所带来的美好深深感激，尤其是过去70年来的婚姻。我不知道是谁为70周年结婚纪念日发明了“铂金婚”这个说法，毕竟在我出生的时候，一般人是活不了这么长的。
Even Prince Philip has decided it's time to slow down a little, having, as he economically put it, done his bit. But I know his support and unique sense of humour will remain as strong as ever as we enjoy spending time this Christmas with our family, and look forward to welcoming new members into it next year.
就连菲利普亲王都决定，是时候放慢脚步了，正如他非常实在地说的那样，他已经履行了应尽的义务。但我知道，他的支持和独特的幽默感将一如既往地陪伴左右，尤其是我们一家人聚在一起欢度圣诞，并期待明年迎来新的家庭成员的时候（注：指威廉王子与凯特王妃的第三胎，以及即将嫁给哈里王子的梅根·马科尔）。
In 2018, I will open my home to a different type of family, the leaders of the 52 nations of the Commonwealth, as they gather in the UK for a summit.
2018年，我还将敞开我家大门欢迎另外一个类别的家人，那就是英联邦52国的领导人，他们将一起参加在英国举行的峰会。
The Commonwealth has an inspiring way of bringing people together, be it through the Commonwealth Games, which begin in a few months' time on Australia's Gold Coast, or through bodies like the Commonwealth Youth Orchestra and Choir - a reminder of how truly vibrant this international family is.
英联邦在凝聚人心方面有着充满启发性的方式，包括几个月后即将在澳大利亚黄金海岸拉开帷幕的英联邦运动会，以及英联邦青年管乐团和合唱团这样的团体。这些都时刻提醒着我们，我们的国际大家庭是多么的生机勃勃。
Today, we celebrate Christmas, which, itself, is sometimes described as a festival of the home. Families travel long distances to be together.
今天我们庆祝圣诞节，而它也有时被称为是属于家庭的节日，人们不远万里跋涉，只为了与家人团聚。
Volunteers and charities, as well as many churches, arrange meals for the homeless and those who would otherwise be alone on Christmas Day. We remember the birth of Jesus Christ, whose only sanctuary was a stable in Bethlehem. He knew rejection, hardship and persecution.
志愿者、慈善机构以及许多教堂，都为无家可归、以及独自度过圣诞节的人们安排了免费餐点。我们以此纪念耶稣基督的诞生，当时他的圣所不过是伯利恒的一处马厩，而他也深知拒绝、艰苦与迫害的涵义。
And, yet, it is Jesus Christ's generous love and example which has inspired me through good times and bad. Whatever your own experience is this year, wherever and however you are watching, I wish you a peaceful and very happy Christmas.
即便如此，耶稣基督宽容的大爱和榜样，无论在歌舞升平还是艰难困苦的时代，都始终启迪着我。无论你过去一年中有什么样的个人经历，无论你什么时候在什么地方观看这则视频，我都祝你度过一个祥和而快乐的圣诞节。
听完这场温情的演讲，你萌是不是也觉得心里暖暖的，想起了自己的家人呢？
而今年的这场演讲，也是女王奶奶自1952年登基以来，所做的第65场圣诞演讲。
在过去的65年间，女王圣诞演讲的形式随着时代发生了很大的变化，但不论形式几何，这些演讲都成为了经典，在历史上留下了浓墨重彩的一笔。
《Vogue》杂志今年还盘点了几场女王在位以来最经典的圣诞演讲↓↓↓
“女王的演讲：年复一年她的圣诞演讲发生了怎样的变化”
1952年：身为女王首次圣诞演讲
1952年，女王迎来了在位的首个圣诞节，这也是她第一个没有父亲在身边的圣诞节。从父亲的手中接下了家国重担，年轻的女王当时通过广播第一次做圣诞演讲：
在这场演讲中，她这样说道：
Each Christmas, at this time, my beloved father broadcast a message to his people in all parts of the world. Today I am doing this to you, who are now my people.
每年圣诞节的这个时候，我挚爱的父亲会向他身处全世界的子民发表演讲。如今，我接下了这份责任，而你们也成为了我的子民。
