英國伊麗莎白二世女王登基60週年“鑽石慶典”紀念日！
As Queen Elizabeth marks her Diamond Jubilee anniversary, she dedicated herself anew to continuing to serve fellow Britons and those around the world who count her as head of state.
今天是英國伊麗莎白女王登基60週年紀念日，伊麗莎白女王在聲明中再次表示，將繼續爲英國民衆和英聯邦所屬成員國人民服務，奉獻一生。
In a statement to mark the start of her diamond jubilee year, the Queen – only the second monarch after her great great grandmother Queen Victoria to celebrate 60 years on the British throne – vows once again to serve her people for the rest of her life.
伊麗莎白女王的聲明標誌着鑽石慶典紀念活動拉開帷幕。伊麗莎白女王是英國史上繼曾祖母維多利亞女王之後，第二位慶祝在位60年的君主。女王在聲明中再次宣誓，會窮盡一生爲人民服務。
Releasing a special set of portraits, taken by John Swannell in the Centre Room at Buckingham Palace in December 2011, Elizabeth, 85, sent a message indicating that while she has seen "great advances" since she took over at her father George VI's death on Feb. 6, 1952, she is looking forward to the future with a "clear head and warm heart."
英國皇室發佈了一系列特別照片，這是英國著名攝影師John Swannell於2011年12月在白金漢宮中心會客廳拍攝而成。現年85歲高齡的伊麗莎白女王表示，自1952年2月6日因父親喬治六世病逝接任以來，她看到英國“取得了重大的進步”。同時，女王也將帶着“清醒的頭腦和溫暖的內心”期待未來的發展。
The comments came after a day in which she and husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, 90, attended a church service John Swannell on her private Sandringham estate in Norfolk – to the delight of flower-clasping well-wishers who came out despite the snow to greet the couple.
女王是在與丈夫菲利普親王參加教堂的禮拜活動後第二天發表的聲明。週日，女王與90歲高齡的菲利普親王在諾福克郡桑德靈厄姆皇家莊園的小教堂參加禮拜活動。熱情的英國民衆不懼寒風，爲皇室夫婦獻花祝福。
In her message, which was released by Buckingham Palace, Elizabeth said, "I hope that we will all be reminded of the power of togetherness and the convening strength of family, friendship and good neighborliness, examples of which I have been fortunate to see throughout my reign."
在白金漢宮發佈的這項聲明中，女王表示：“我希望可以提醒所有人情感凝聚力和感召力的力量，親情、友情和睦鄰友好，我很榮幸可以在我的任期看到這些良好的榜樣”。
