第一篇：女王2017圣诞致辞
女王2017圣诞致辞 Sixty years ago today, a young woman spoke about the speed of technological change as she presented the first television broadcast of its kind.She described the moment as a landmark.QUEEN(in archival footage): 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 at this moment.And that is how I imagine you now.Six decades on, the presenter has evolved somewhat, as has the technology she described.Back then, who could have imagined that people would one day be watching this on laptops and mobile phones, as some of you are today?But I'm also struck by something that hasn't changedof shared stories and memoriessanctuary, evena reminder of how truly vibrant this international family is.Today, we celebrate Christmas, which, itself, is sometimes described as a festival of the home.Families travel long distances to be together.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.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.

Queen's Christmas message 英国女王圣诞致辞
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.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 organization 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 allCanada, 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."
她说：“我们对我们的男女军人与盟友一起所做的积极贡献感到自豪。目前，英国和加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰以及新加坡等英联邦国家一共有1万3千多名军人驻扎在阿富汗。我们向这些年轻男女以及在他们之前派驻阿富汗的军人表达深切的感激之情。”
More than 100 British soldiers have died this year in Afghanistan.That is the most since the lengthy deployment began back in 2001.Since then, a total of 243 have been killed.今年有100多名英国士兵在阿富汗死亡。这是自2001年英国向阿富汗派兵以来，伤亡人数最多的一年。自2001年以来，共有243人阵亡。
Polls here repeatedly show that average British citizens want to see the troops brought back home as soon as possible.多次民意调查显示，英国公民普遍希望英国部队尽快回家。

2016女王圣诞致辞
2016年12月25日下午3点，英国女王伊丽莎白二世发表了每年一度的圣诞致辞。她在致辞中提倡普通人“怀大爱做小事”（Do small things with great love）。以下为致辞视频和双语文字：
There was a time when British Olympic medal winners became household names because there were so few of them.英国奥运奖牌获得者的名字曾经家喻户晓，因为他们人数寥寥。
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.但今年里约奥运的67位奖牌获得者和147位残奥会奖牌获得者让白金汉宫的庆祝仪式变得拥挤而幸福。
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.在英联邦国家中也有同样充满喜悦的庆典——格林纳达，巴哈马，牙买加和新西兰获得的奖牌人均世界最多。
Many of this year's winners spoke of being inspired by athletes of previous generations.今年的获胜者们都提到，他们曾受到前辈运动员的启迪。
Inspiration fed their aspiration;and having discovered abilities they scarcely knew they had, these athletes are now inspiring others.这种启迪让他们充满雄心壮志，也让他们发现了自己不曾知道的能力。现在，他们成为了其他运动员的启迪。
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，我在为东英格兰空中救援剑桥基地成立剪彩时，发现了另一种启迪。这里也是威廉王子作为直升机飞行员工作的地方。
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.被平均每天紧急出勤的医生、伞兵军医和空乘人员的奉献感动不是一件难事。
But to be inspirational you don't have to save lives or win medals.但你不需要通过拯救生命或赢得奖牌而启发别人。
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.我经常在面对从事普通岗位的普通人时获得力量：志愿者、护工、社区组织者和友好的邻里——不被歌颂的英雄因沉默奉献而与众不同。
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.他们是周围人的榜样，而他们的人生也不断具象地表达着特蕾莎修女——从今年起她就是加尔各答的圣特蕾莎了——所体现的真理。
She once said: 'Not all of us can do great things.But we can do small things with great love'.特蕾莎修女曾说：“不是每个人都能成大事。但我们可以做充满大爱的小事。”
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.这也是两个伟大的慈善组织——成立60年的“爱丁堡公爵奖”和成立40年的“王子基金会”一直以来的经验。他们从自发的小型慈善开始，逐渐成长为出人意料、能够一直改善年轻人生活的慈善组织。
To mark my 90th birthday, volunteers andsupporters of the six hundred charities of which I have been patron came to alunch in The Mall.为了庆祝我的90岁生日，来自由我赞助的600个慈善机构的志愿者和支持者们齐聚白金汉宫前林荫道，共进午餐。
Many of these organisations are modest insize but inspire me with the work they do.很多这样的机构规模有限，但它们的工作依然令我备受启迪。
From giving friendship and support to ourveterans, the elderly or the bereaved;to championing music and dance;providing animal welfare;or protecting our fields and forests, theirselfless devotion and generosity of spirit is an example to us all.从为我们的老兵提供陪伴与帮助，无论他们年岁已暮还是孑然一身，到在音乐舞蹈领域大放异彩；从为动物权益奔走奋斗，到保护我们的田野与森林，他们的无私投入和奉献精神是我们所有人共同的榜样。
When people face a challenge they sometimestalk about taking a deep breath to find courage or strength.In fact, the word 'inspire' literally means 'to breathe in'.当人们面临挑战，有时他们会告诉自己深呼吸来寻求勇气和力量。其实，“鼓舞”这个词本身字面上就是“吸气”的意思。
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.但即使怀抱着他人带来的启迪，这个世界上存在的问题确实太大，我们很难从实质上改变它，这种想法是可以理解的。
On our own, we cannot end wars or wipe outinjustice, but the cumulative impact of thousands of small acts of goodness canbe bigger than we imagine.作为个体，我们无法平息战乱或是消灭不公，但千千万万的小小善举汇聚到一起所带来的影响，远比我们想象中要大。
At Christmas, our attention is drawn to thebirth 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.在圣诞佳节之际，我们的注意力都集中到了一个大概2000年前出生的婴儿身上。那是人生多么平凡的一种开始，而他的父母约瑟和马利亚也不曾意识到自己有多么重要。
Jesus Christ lived obscurely for most ofhis life, and never travelled far.He was maligned and rejected by many, thoughhe had done no wrong.耶稣基督人生的大部分时候都过得谦逊低调，甚至不曾远行。即便他未曾行差踏错，也被许多人毁谤厌弃。
And yet, billions of people now follow histeaching and find in him the guiding light for their lives.即便如此，如今有数十亿记的人跟随他的教诲，把他视作人生的领航灯。
I am one of them because Christ's examplehelps me see the value of doing small things with great love, whoever does themand whatever they themselves believe.我也是其中之一，因为基督的榜样，我看到了以大爱行小善的意义所在。无论行此善举的人究竟是谁，也无论他们究竟有何信仰。
The message of Christmas reminds us thatinspiration is a gift to be given as well as received, and that love beginssmall but always grows.圣诞节的到来，提醒我们启迪与鼓舞是彼此能够传递的礼物，而爱即使生为星火，也可以长而燎原。
I wish you all a very happy Christmas.祝愿各位圣诞快乐！
第五篇：2012女王圣诞演讲
The Queen’s Christmas speech in 2012 This past year has been one of great celebration for many.The enthusiasm which greeted the Diamond Jubilee was, of course, especially memorable for me and my family.“It was humbling that so many chose to mark the anniversary of a duty which passed to me 60 years ago.People of all ages took the trouble to take part in various ways and in many nations.But perhaps most striking of all was to witness the strength of fellowship and friendship among those who had gathered together on these occasions.”Prince Philip and I were joined by our family on the River Thames as we paid tribute to those who have shaped the United Kingdom's past and future as a maritime nation, and welcomed a wonderful array of craft, large and small, from across the Commonwealth.“On the barges and the bridges and the banks of the river there were people who had taken their places to cheer through the mist, undaunted by the rain.That day there was a tremendous sense of common determination to celebrate, triumphing over the elements.”That same spirit was also in evidence from the moment the Olympic flame arrived on these shores.The flame itself drew hundreds and thousands of people on its journey around the British Isles, and was carried by every kind of deserving individual, many nominated for their own extraordinary service.“As London hosted a splendid summer of sport, all those who saw the achievement and courage at the Olympic and Paralympic Games were further inspired by the skill, dedication, training and teamwork of our athletes.In pursuing their own sporting goals, they gave the rest of us the opportunity to share something of the excitement and drama.”We were reminded, too, that the success of these great festivals depended to an enormous degree upon the dedication and effort of an army of volunteers.Those public-spirited people came forward in the great tradition of all those who devote themselves to keeping others safe, supported and comforted.“For many, Christmas is also a time for coming together.But for others, service will come first.Those serving in our armed forces, in our emergency services and in our hospitals, whose sense of duty takes them away from family and friends, will be missing those they love.”And those who have lost loved ones may find this day especially full of memories.That's why it's important at this time of year to reach out beyond our familiar relationships to think of those who are on their own.“At Christmas I am always struck by how the spirit of togetherness lies also at the heart of the Christmas story.A young mother and a dutiful father with their baby were joined by poor shepherds and visitors from afar.They came with their gifts to worship the Christ child.From that day on he has inspired people to commit themselves to the best interests of others.”This is the time of year when we remember that God sent his only son 'to serve, not to be served'.He restored love and service to the centre of our lives in the person of Jesus Christ.“It is my prayer this Christmas Day that his example and teaching will continue to bring people together to give the best of themselves in the service of others.”The carol, In The Bleak Midwinter, ends by asking a question of all of us who know the Christmas story, of how God gave himself to us in humble service: 'What can I give him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;if I were a wise man, I would do my part'.The carol gives the answer 'Yet what I can I give him-give my heart'.“I wish you all a very happy Christmas.”
