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.
我正在演讲的此刻，我知道是一个日渐艰难的时刻。一个我们国家正在受到挑战和破坏的时刻：这种破坏使一些人感到悲伤，给我们很多人带来经济困难，并给我们所有人的日常生活都带来巨大的变化。 I want to thank everyone on the NHS frontline, 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'm sure the nation will join me in assuring you that what you do is appreciated every hour of your hard work brings us closer to a return to more normal times. 我要感谢在前线的NHS(英国国民医疗体系)的每个人，以及护理人员和那些肩负重任的人，他们日复一日无私地坚守工作岗位来支撑着我们所有人。我和我们国家的所有人一起向您们保证，您们所做的一切都受到赞赏，您们每时每刻的辛勤工作都令我们离回到正常生活更进一步。
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. 我还要感谢那些留在家里的人，从而帮助保护弱势群体，同时也为很多已经失去至亲的人减轻痛苦。我们将共同努力应对这一疾病，我想向您们保证，如果我们保持团结和坚定，我们一定会战胜这个疾病。
I hope in the years to come, everyone will be 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，当我们回首，每个人都能为自己在这场挑战中所作出的贡献而自豪。我们的后代将会说，这一代的英国一如既往地坚定和强大。自律，从容，幽默，和同情心仍然是这个国家人民的特征，英国人的自豪不在过去，它决定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. 当英国人团结起来为我们的医护人员鼓掌的瞬间，将会被铭记为国家民族精神的表达，它的象征将会是由孩子们绘画出的彩虹。 Across the Commonwealth and around the world, we have seen heartwarming stories of coming together to help others, be it through delivering food parcels and medicines; checking on neighbours; or converting businesses to help the relief effort.在英联邦以及世界各地，我们看到了暖心的故事，人们共同伸出援手帮助他人，为他人提供食物和药品，关照邻居，或者改建企业模式来救济他人。 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 meditaion. It reminds me of the very first broadcast I made, in 1940, helped by my sister.尽管有的时候自我隔离会很艰难，但许多不同信仰的人，甚至过去没有信仰的人，都在隔离中发现，这是给我们放慢脚步，在祈祷和冥想的过程中暂停和反思的机会。这让我想起来在1940年，我在姐姐的帮助下第一次广播。 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, onece again, many will feel a painful sense of separation from their loved ones. But now as then, we know deep down, that is the right thing to do.我们当时也是孩子， 在温莎城堡与那些为了自身安全而撤离和被送走的孩子交谈。今天，再一次的，许多人会感受到与亲人分离的痛苦。但是现在，和当年一样，我们内心相信，这是正确的做法。 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 everyone of us.
尽管我们之前曾面临挑战，但这一挑战却有所不同。这次，我们与全球所有国家共同努力，运用科学的巨大进步和我们内心的同理心去治愈。我们将取得成功-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. But for now, I send my thanks and warmest good wishes to you all.我们应该感到欣慰，尽管我们可能还要忍受更多苦难，但美好的日子终将回来，我们会再次和朋友们团聚在一起，我们会再和家人团聚在一起，我们会再见面。
