【原编】英首相入院，女王发表紧急讲话！至暗时刻，是祈祷时刻......

I am speaking to you at what I know is an increasingly challenging time. A time of disruption in the life of our country: a disruption that has brought grief to some, financial difficulties to many, and enormous changes to the daily lives of us all.

我在这一个前所未有的挑战时刻跟你们讲话。我知道疫情给英国带来了前所未有的混乱：这种混乱给一些人带来了悲痛，给许多人带来了经济困难，给我们所有人的日常生活带来了巨大的变化。

I want to thank everyone on the NHS front line, as well as care workers and those carrying out essential roles, who selflessly continue their day-to-day duties outside the home in support of us all. I am sure the nation will join me in assuring you that what you do is appreciated and every hour of your hard work brings us closer to a return to more normal times.

我要感谢奋战在NHS第一线的每一个人，以及护理人员和那些关键岗位的工作人员。你们无私地离家外出继续他们的日常工作，以支持我们所有人。我深信全国人民将会和我一起向你们保证，你们所做的一切都值得我们的感激，你们每一个小时的辛勤工作都使我们朝着回归更正常的生活秩序更近一步。

I also want to thank those of you who are staying at home, thereby helping to protect the vulnerable and sparing many families the pain already felt by those who have lost loved ones. Together we are tackling this disease, and I want to reassure you that if we remain united and resolute, then we will overcome it.

我还要感谢那些待在家里的人，你们帮助保护了易受感染的弱势群体，让许多家庭免遭失去亲人的痛苦。我们正在共同应对这次疫情，我想向你们保证，如果我们保持团结、坚定，我们就能战胜它。

I hope in the years to come everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge. And those who come after us will say the Britons of this generation were as strong as any. That the attributes of self-discipline, of quiet good-humoured resolve and of fellow-feeling still characterise this country. The pride in who we are is not a part of our past, it defines our present and our future.  

我希望在未来的岁月里，每个人都能为自己应对疫情挑战时候的表现感到自豪。我们的后代会说，这一代英国人和任何一代人一样坚强，他们自律、充满决心并且饱含深情。“我们是这样的人”的骄傲不仅仅是我们过去一部分，也定义了我们的现在和未来。

The moments when the United Kingdom has come together to applaud its care and essential workers will be remembered as an expression of our national spirit; and its symbol will be the rainbows drawn by children. 

英国人民站在一起为我们的医护人员和关键岗位工作人员鼓掌的时刻将作为我们民族精神的表现而被铭记;它的象征将是那些孩子们所画的彩虹。

Across the Commonwealth and around the world, we have seen heart-warming stories of people coming together to help others, be it through delivering food parcels and medicines, checking on neighbours, or converting businesses to help the relief effort.  

在英联邦和世界各地，我们看到了人们团结一致帮助他人的感人故事，无论是通过分发食品包裹和药品、检查邻居情况，还是通过改造企业生产来为救援工作尽一份力。

And though self-isolating may at times be hard, many people of all faiths, and of none, are discovering that it presents an opportunity to slow down, pause and reflect, in prayer or meditation.

尽管自我隔离有时很难做到，但许多有着各种信仰和无信仰的人却发现，在祈祷或冥想中，自我隔离为他们提供了一个放慢时间、停顿和反思的机会。

It reminds me of the very first broadcast I made, in 1940, helped by my sister. We, as children, spoke from here at Windsor to children who had been evacuated from their homes and sent away for their own safety. Today, once again, many will feel a painful sense of separation from their loved ones. But now, as then, we know, deep down, that it is the right thing to do. 

这让我想起了在1940年，我和我的妹妹完成第一次公开讲话的情景：我们，作为孩子，在温莎城堡对那些因战争而流离失所的孩子们发表讲话。今天，许多人会再次感受到与所爱之人分离的痛苦。但我们从内心深处知道，我们在做正确的事情，就像当时一样。

While we have faced challenges before, this one is different. This time we join with all nations across the globe in a common endeavour, using the great advances of science and our instinctive compassion to heal. We will succeed - and that success will belong to every one of us. 

以前虽然我们也面临过挑战，但这一次不同。这一次，我们与全球所有国家一同努力，利用科学的巨大进步和我们发自本能的同情心去战胜疫情。我们将取得成功，而成功将属于我们每一个人。

We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return: we will be with our friends again; we will be with our families again; we will meet again.

我们应该感到安慰的是，虽然我们还要忍受许多的痛苦，但美好的日子将会归来: 我们还会和朋友相聚；还将再次与家人团圆；等我们再相见。

But for now, I send my thanks and warmest good wishes to you all.  

而现在，我要向你们所有人表达我的感谢以及最温暖的祝愿。
