女王讲话全文如下：

I speak to you today at the same hour as myfather did exactly 75 years ago.

His message then was a salute to the menand women at home and abroad who had sacrificed so much in pursuit of what herightly called a 'great deliverance'.

今天，我在75年前我父亲发表演讲的同一时间跟各位讲话。

当时，他的演讲是为了向追求他所称的“伟大拯救”而付出巨大代价的全民，在英国内外的男女老少们致敬。

The war had been a total war; it hadaffected everyone and no one was immune from its impact.

Whether it be the men and women called upto serve; families separated from each other; or people asked to take up newroles and skills to support the war effort all had a part to play.

那是一场全面的战争，影响了所有的人，没人能够幸免。

无论是响应招募服役的男女军人们，彼此分离的家庭，或被要求担任新角色或技能，以支持战争的人们，人人有份。

At the start the outlook seemed bleak theend distant the outcome uncertain. But we kept faith that the cause was right- and this belief as my father noted in his broadcast carried us through.

战争之初，前景似乎黯淡，尽头遥远，结果未定。但我们坚信目标是正确的。正如我父亲在当时的演讲中指出的那样，这种信念让我们得以坚持。

Never give up never despair - that was themessage of VE Day.

I vividly remember the jubilant scenes mysister and I witnessed with our parents and Winston Churchill from the balconyof Buckingham Palace.

永不放弃，永不绝望，这就是VE Day的精神。

我清楚地记得，我妹妹和我、我们的父母以及温斯顿·丘吉尔一起在白金汉宫阳台上目睹的欢乐场面。

The sense of joy in the crowds who gatheredoutside and across the country was profound though while we celebrated thevictory in Europe we knew there would be further sacrifice.

It was not until August that fighting inthe Far East ceased and the war finally ended.

英国内外各地聚集的人群中充满了喜悦，尽管在我们庆祝欧洲战场的胜利的同时，我们知道还会有更多牺牲。直到8月底远东战场才得以停息，战争终于结束。

Many people laid down their lives in thatterrible conflict.

They fought so we could live in peace athome and abroad.

They died so we could live as free peoplein a world of free nations.

They risked all so our families andneighbourhoods could be safe.

We should and will remember them.

许多人在那场可怕的冲突中失去生命。

他们在前线战斗，使我们能够在家中平安地生活。

他们捐躯牺牲了，使我们可以在自由的国度里自由生活。

他们冒着巨大风险，使我们在家庭和社区中得享安宁。

我们都应该也一定会铭记他们。

As I now reflect on my father's words andthe joyous celebrations which some of us experienced first-hand I am thankfulfor the strength and courage that the United Kingdom the Commonwealth and allour allies displayed.

现在，当我回顾父亲的话语，和我们亲历的那些欢乐的庆祝活动时，我要感谢全英国、英联邦国家，以及我们所有的盟友们表现出的勇气和力量。

The wartime generation knew that the bestway to honour those who did not come back from the war was to ensure that itdidn't happen again.

The greatest tribute to their sacrifice isthat countries who were once sworn enemies are now friends working side byside for the peace health and prosperity of us all.

战争年代的人知道，向未能从战场返回的人们致敬的最好方式，就是确保战争不再发生。

对牺牲最高的致敬，是使曾经为敌的国家成为朋友！为了我们所有人的和平、健康和繁荣齐心协力。

Today it may seem hard that we cannot markthis special anniversary as we would wish.

Instead we remember from our homes and ourdoorsteps.

But our streets are not empty; they arefilled with the love and the care that we have for each other.

今天，我们似乎无法像希望的那样欢聚起来庆祝这个特殊的纪念日。

取而代之的是，我们在自己的家中、门口进行纪念。

但我们的街道并不空荡，她们充满了我们彼此间的爱与关怀。

And when I look at our country today andsee what we are willing to do to protect and support one another I say withpride that we are still a nation those brave soldiers sailors and airmen wouldrecognise and admire.

I send my warmest good wishes to you all.

当我今天看到我们的国家，看到我们愿意为保护和支持彼此所做的事，我可以自豪地说，我们仍是一个被勇敢的士兵、水手和飞行员认可并欣赏的国家。

在此，我向大家致以最美好的祝愿！
