丘吉尔和女王

(2021-10-18 05:57:57) 下一个

偶然看到这些照片,发现里面有让人感动的地方。女王身后有个丘吉尔,真是满满的爱意。

再者,尼赫鲁的印度和英国的关系这么好,巴基斯坦和印度同为英联邦。也没有说一定要找英国报殖民的仇。反而是印度向英国学科学,英美到印度学习精神、修行。

这个老太太还是个人,可亲近的人。。。有意思。可见人不是必须要神秘才能获得尊重。

这一段讲话写得很好啊,收录一下。

That it is possible for some of you to see me today is just another example of the speed at which things are changing all around us. Because of these changes I am not surprised that many people feel lost and unable to decide what to hold on to and what to discard. How to take advantage of the new life without losing the best of the old.

But it is not the new inventions which are the difficulty. The trouble is caused by unthinking people who carelessly throw away ageless ideals as if they were old and outworn machinery.

They would have religion thrown aside, morality in personal and public life made meaningless, honesty counted as foolishness and self-interest set up in place of self-restraint.

At this critical moment in our history we will certainly lose the trust and respect of the world if we just abandon those fundamental principles which guided the men and women who built the greatness of this country and Commonwealth.

Today we need a special kind of courage, not the kind needed in battle but a kind which makes us stand up for everything that we know is right, everything that is true and honest. We need the kind of courage that can withstand the subtle corruption of the cynics so that we can show the world that we are not afraid of the future.

It has always been easy to hate and destroy. To build and to cherish is much more difficult. That is why we can take a pride in the new Commonwealth we are building.

欢迎!从她和他们身上,让人理解了一些老词的含义。
君君臣臣。知道自己的位子,就像球队各打各的位子。她和丘吉尔,人间自有真情。。。
