“I speak to you today with feelings of profound sorrow. Throughout her life, Her Majesty The Queen — my beloved Mother — was an inspiration and example to me and to all my family, and we owe her the most heartfelt debt any family can owe to their mother; for her love, affection, guidance, understanding and example.

“今天，我怀着深切的悲痛在各位面前讲话。女王陛下-我亲爱的母亲--她的一生都是我和我所有家人的精神依托和榜样，我们对她的歉疚比任何一个其他家庭成员对母亲的歉疚要多得多；因为女王陛下给予了我们爱、付出、引导、理解和榜样的力量。

“Queen Elizabeth was a life well lived; a promise with destiny kept and she is mourned most deeply in her passing. That promise of lifelong service I renew to you all today.

“伊丽莎白女王经营过幸福的生活，她的生活遵守了对命运的承诺，她在去世时受到了人们最深切的哀悼。我今天再次向大家重申我会继承她的事业，兑现我为人民终身服务的承诺。

“Alongside the personal grief that all my family are feeling, we also share with so many of you in the United Kingdom, in all the countries where The Queen was Head of State, in the Commonwealth and across the world, a deep sense of gratitude for the more than 70 years in which my Mother, as Queen, served the people of so many nations.

“除了我的家人感到的悲痛之外，我们还与整个大不列颠联合王国、女王护佑荫蔽的所有国家、英联邦和全世界的许多人一样，对70多年来我的母亲作为女王为许多国家的人民服务深表感谢。

“In 1947, on her 21st birthday, she pledged in a broadcast from Cape Town to the Commonwealth to devote her life, whether it be short or long, to the service of her peoples.

1947年，在她21岁生日时，她在开普敦向英联邦的广播中承诺，无论是短暂的还是漫长的一生，她都将为她的人民服务。

“That was more than a promise: it was a profound personal commitment which defined her whole life. She made sacrifices for duty.

“这不仅仅是一个承诺：这是一个深刻的个人倾情付出，这完美地定义了她的一生。她为这个责任做出了牺牲。

“Her dedication and devotion as Sovereign never waivered, through times of change and progress, through times of joy and celebration, and through times of sadness and loss.

“在变革和进步的时代，在欢乐和庆祝的时代，以及在悲伤和失落的时代，她作为君主付出的一切和奉献精神从未放弃。

“In her life of service we saw that abiding love of tradition, together with that fearless embrace of progress, which make us great as Nations. The affection, admiration and respect she inspired became the hallmark of her reign.

“在她的服务生涯中，我们看到了她对传统的持久热爱以及对国家进步的无畏拥抱，这使我们成为伟大的民族。她所激发的爱、钦佩和尊重成为她对国家治理的标志。

“And, as every member of my family can testify, she combined these qualities with warmth, humor and an unerring ability always to see the best in people.

“而且，正如我们家的每一位成员都可以证明的那样，她将这些品质与热情、幽默和在她的子民身上反映出的准确无误的品质结合起来。

“I pay tribute to my Mother’s memory and I honor her life of service. I know that her death brings great sadness to so many of you and I share that sense of loss, beyond measure, with you all.

“我对我母亲的记忆表示敬意，并对她服务的一生表示敬意。我知道她的去世给你们中的许多人带来了巨大的悲伤，我与你们所有人都有着无法估量的失落感。

“When The Queen came to the throne, Britain and the world were still coping with the privations and aftermath of the Second World War, and still living by the conventions of earlier times.

“当女王登基时，英国和全世界仍在应对第二次世界大战结束后带来的贫困和冲击，而我的母亲仍然按照早期的惯例生活。

“In the course of the last 70 years we have seen our society become one of many cultures and many faiths.

“在过去70年中，我们看到我们的社会已经成为多种文化和多种信仰的一部分。

“The institutions of the State have changed in turn. But, through all changes and challenges, our nation and the wider family of Realms – of whose talents, traditions and achievements I am so inexpressibly proud – have prospered and flourished. Our values have remained, and must remain, constant.

“国家的制度也随之发生了变化。但是，通过所有的变化和挑战，我们的国家和更广泛的领域已经繁荣昌盛——我对国之栋梁、国家传统和成就感到无比自豪。我们的价值观固若磐石，而且必须源远流长。

“The role and the duties of Monarchy also remain, as does the Sovereign’s particular relationship and responsibility towards the Church of England – the Church in which my own faith is so deeply rooted.

“君主制的角色和职责历历在目，君主对英国国家教义的特殊关系和责任也是如此——我自己的信仰深深扎根于英国国家教义。

“In that faith, and the values it inspires, I have been brought up to cherish a sense of duty to others, and to hold in the greatest respect the precious traditions, freedoms and responsibilities of our unique history and our system of parliamentary government.

“本着这一信念和它所激发的价值观，我从小就得到母亲言传身教：必须对他人充满责任感，必须尊重我们独特历史和议会政府制度的宝贵传统以及它们赋予我们自由权力

“As The Queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, I too now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time God grants me, to uphold the Constitutional principles at the heart of our nation.

“正如女王本人以如此坚定的忠诚所做的那样，我现在也郑重宣誓，在上帝赐予我的剩余时间里，维护我们国家核心的宪法原则。

“And wherever you may live in the United Kingdom, or in the Realms and territories across the world, and whatever may be your background or beliefs, I shall endeavor to serve you with loyalty, respect and love, as I have throughout my life.

“无论你们生活在英国的任何地方，或世界各地的任何领域，无论你们的背景或信仰如何，我都将努力以忠诚、尊重和爱为你们服务，就像我一生所做的那样。

“My life will of course change as I take up my new responsibilities.

“当我承担新的责任时，我的生活当然会改变。

“It will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues for which I care so deeply. But I know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others.

“我再也不可能抽出更多的时间和精力投入到我深为关心的慈善事业和问题上。但我知道，这项重要的工作将会让我值得信任的人接管。

“This is also a time of change for my family. I count on the loving help of my darling wife, Camilla.

“对我的家人来说，这也是一个变革的时刻。我依靠我亲爱的妻子卡米拉的爱心帮助。

“In recognition of her own loyal public service since our marriage 17 years ago, she becomes my Queen Consort.

“自从17年前我们结婚以来，为了表彰她对公共服务的忠诚，她成为了我的王后。

“I know she will bring to the demands of her new role the steadfast devotion to duty on which I have come to rely so much.

“我知道，她将为她的新角色带来牢不可摧的献身精神，这是我非常依赖的。

“As my Heir, William now assumes the Scottish titles which have meant so much to me.

“作为我的继承人，威廉现在继承了对我意义重大的苏格兰亲王头衔。

“He succeeds me as Duke of Cornwall and takes on the responsibilities for the Duchy of Cornwall which I have undertaken for more than five decades.

“他接替我成为康沃尔公爵，并承担了康沃尔公国的责任，为这个责任我奉献了50多年。

“Today, I am proud to create him Prince of Wales, Tywysog Cymru, the country whose title I have been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty.

“今天，我很自豪地为泰维索格·辛姆鲁授予了威尔士亲王，在我的一生和应尽职责中，我非常荣幸地为这个国家分担责任。

“With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the center ground where vital help can be given.

“我知道，有凯瑟琳在他身边，我们的新威尔士亲王和王妃将继续激励和领导我们的子民顺畅沟通，帮助将边缘地带带到中心地带，在那里可以提供至关重要的帮助。

“I want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas.

“我还想表达我对哈里和梅根的爱，因为他们继续在海外经营自己的生活。

“In a little over a week’s time we will come together as a nation, as a Commonwealth and indeed a global community, to lay my beloved mother to rest.

“在一周多一点的时间里，我们将团结一心，以一个国家、一个联邦，甚至是同一个联盟，凝聚起来，让我亲爱的母亲安息。

“In our sorrow, let us remember and draw strength from the light of her example.

“我们的心情沉痛，对她永志不忘。我们要从她榜样的光辉中聚集力量。

“On behalf of all my family, I can only offer the most sincere and heartfelt thanks for your condolences and support.

“我谨代表我的家人，对你们的慰问和支持表示最诚挚和衷心的感谢。

“They mean more to me than I can ever possibly express.

“他们对我的意义是我无法表达的。

“And to my darling Mama, as you begin your last great journey to join my dear late Papa, I want simply to say this: thank you.

“亲爱的妈妈，当你开始你又一次伟大的旅程，同我我亲爱的已故爸爸汇合时，对您，我只想说一句：谢谢您。

“Thank you for your love and devotion to our family and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years.

“感谢您多年来对我们大家庭和国际社会的爱和奉献，感谢你如此勤勉的付出。

“May ‘flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest.’”

“愿天使的飞翔为你歌唱”
