Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales Remarks at the Service of Thanksgiving for Princess Diana 哈里王子致戴安娜王妃的讲话 William and I can separate life into two parts. There were those years when we were blessed with the physical presence beside us of both our mother and father. And then there are the 10 years since our mother’s death. When she was alive we completely took for granted her unrivalled love of life, laughter, fun and folly. She was our guardian, friend, and protector. She never once allowed her unfaltering love for us to go unspoken or undemonstrated. She will always be remembered for her amazing public work. But behind the media glare, to us, just two loving children, she was quite simply the best mother in the world. We would say that, wouldn’t we? But we miss her. She kissed us last thing at night. Her beaming smile greeted us from school. She laughed hysterically and uncontrollably when sharing something silly she might have said or done that day. She encouraged us when we were nervous or unsure. She—like our father—was determined to provide us with a stable and secure childhood. To lose a parent so suddenly at such a young age—as others have experienced—is indescribably shocking and sad. It was an event which changed our lives forever, as it must have done for everyone who lost someone that night. But what is far more important to us now, and into the future, is that we remember our mother as she would have wished to be remembered—as she was: fun-loving, generous, down-to-earth, and entirely genuine. We both think of her every day. We speak about her and laugh together at all the memories. But put simply, she made us, and so many other people, happy. May this be the way that she is remembered. 威廉和我的生命可以划分成两个阶段。其中一个阶段就是我们俩有父亲和母亲陪伴身边的那些幸福岁月。 现在母亲已经离开我们十年了。当她还在世的时候,她对生命充满了热爱,她笑对生活,享受生活中的趣事乐事,而我们也对这一切都习以为常。她是我们的守护天使,更是我们的朋友。 母亲决不会仅仅把她对我们兄弟俩的爱放在心中,而是用语言、用行动来证明她对我们的爱。 人们都会记住母亲在公共活动中的出色形象。可是在聚光灯之外,她就是她所挚爱的两个孩子的母亲,而且简直是世界上最好的母亲。 我们会这么说,对吗?但是我们的确很想念她。 过去母亲每天晚上做的最后一件事情就是亲吻我们。从学校回来,我们都会看到母亲脸上灿烂的笑容。她会一边跟我们分享当天她所遇到的有趣事情,一边在那里忍不住快乐地大声笑。 每当我们紧张或者摇摆不定的时候,母亲总会鼓励我们。 母亲和父亲都努力地为我们营造一个安稳和无忧无虑的童年。 在童年时期就失去了母亲,正如其他人所经历的一样,对我们来说是一个难以形容的打击。这场变故永远地改变了我们的生活,对于任何在那天晚上失去一个亲人或朋友的人来说,情况也必定如此。 但是无论是现在还是将来,对我们来说更重要的是按照我们的母亲希望被记住的方式来记住她,记住她的喜欢开玩笑,记住她的待人宽容,记住她的脚踏实地,记住她的无限真诚。 我们无时无刻不在思念她。 每当我们兄弟俩说起母亲,脑中忆起母亲的音容笑貌时,我们都会会心一笑。 简而言之,母亲给我们,同时也给许许多多其他人带来过快乐。希望这会是她为人们所铭记的形象。
