以下是文章全文和翻譯,與大家分享。
Today, the door swings shut on the Elizabethan era
伊麗莎白時代之門,今日關閉
By Jonny Dymond
For two minutes today the drumming will cease, the pipers will fall silent, the march of boots on procession routes will still.
今天,有兩分鍾的時間,鼓聲將停止,風笛將沉寂,葬禮路線上的儀仗隊也將停下腳步。
For two minutes today, at the end of the funeral service in Westminster Abbey, before the national anthem is heard, before the coffin is taken away for committal and burial at Windsor, there will be silence.
威斯敏斯特教堂的葬禮結束前,在國歌響起之前,在靈柩送往溫莎城堡安葬之前,將有兩分鍾的默哀。
And a door will swing shut.
之後,壹扇門將猛然合上。
A reign of seven decades will come to a close. For 10 rather bewildering days we have spoken of the Queen and the new king as if they could somehow both be with us.
70年的統治,即將告壹段落。在這令人困惑的10天裡,我們壹直在談論女王和新國王,仿佛他們贰人都能與我們同在。
Today that long week of transition comes to an end.
今天,這壹周漫長的過渡即將結束。
In the earliest years of her reign, a new Elizabethan Age was proclaimed by some. Such was the excitement over the young queen, the marvels of technology and the new prosperity, after the grinding grey of the depression years, the sacrifice of World War Two and the hard road of recovery after it.
在她統治的最初幾年,曾有人宣告,壹個新的伊麗莎白時代即將來臨。經歷了陰暗難熬的蕭條歲月,贰戰的犧牲,和戰後艱難的復蘇之路之後,人們的興奮情緒,與年輕的女王有關,也與科技奇跡和新興繁榮有關。
She - wise in her earliest decades to fickle fashion - dismissed all that talk. But if this was not an age - and who are we to contradict her? - then it was an era, the Elizabethan Era.- 新聞來源於其它媒體,內容不代表本站立場!
