英国女王2015圣诞致辞演讲原文 一年一度的圣诞节又来了！根据往年传统，英国女王的圣诞演讲也是如约而至~ 每年讲话里女王都会用最适中的语速，最皇室范的英音对全世界就讲到自己对今年世界大事的见解。 女王圣诞致辞的特别之处就在于，一般皇室讲话的讲稿都要都要腐国政府审查通过，但是唯独女王的圣诞讲话是不用经过政府审查的，都是女王亲自动笔写，这才是最真实的女王讲话！ 今年的讲话里，女王提到了小公主，提到了法国的恐怖袭击，提到了二战胜利70周年，也提到了她对来年的祝福。 这就是全世界最美的英音教材了~ * At this time of year, few sights evoke more feelings of cheer and goodwill than the twinkling lights of a Christmas tree.

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. 相聚在圣诞树下，让我们不禁展望接下来的一年——期待丰饶的2016，尽管我已被提醒自己可能还会多听到一两次大家为我唱起“生日快乐”之歌。这亦让我们感怀即将过去的一年，与此同时，我们也惦念那些不在身边或已离世的人。 Many people say the first Christmas after losing a loved one is particularly hard.
