Reflecting on these events makes me grateful for the blessings of home and family, and in particular for 70 years of marriage. I don’t know that anyone had invented the term ‘platinum’ for a 70th wedding anniversary when I was born. You weren’t expected to be around that long. Even Prince Philip has decided it’s time to slow down a little – having, as he economically put it, ‘done his bit’.

回想这些事情让我感谢家庭和家人的祝福，特别是70年的婚姻。我不知道在我出生的时候，有没有人为70周年结婚纪念日发明了白金这个词。没想到你会活那么久。就连菲利普亲王也决定是时候放慢脚步了——用他用经济学上的话来说说，他已经完成了他该做的事。

2017年，圣诞致辞

We think of our homes as places of warmth, familiarity, and love; of shared stories and memories, which is perhaps why, at this time of year, so many return to where they grew up. There is a timeless simplicity to the pull of home.

2020年4月5日，新冠肺炎疫情爆发后的电视讲话

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 every one of us.

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. - Televised address on April 5, 2020, after outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic.

虽然我们以前也面临过挑战，但这次不同。这一次，我们与全球所有国家共同努力，利用科学的巨大进步和我们本能的同情心来治愈疾病。我们将会成功——而这种成功将属于我们每一个人。

我们应该感到欣慰的是，虽然我们可能还有更多的事情要忍受，但更好的日子总会回来的；我们将再次与朋友们在一起；我们将再次与家人团聚;我们会再见面的。

2021年，圣诞致辞

In the months since the death of my beloved Philip, I have drawn great comfort from the warmth and affection of the many tributes to his life and work – from around the country, the Commonwealth, and the world. His sense of service, intellectual curiosity, and capacity to squeeze fun out of any situation – were all irrepressible. That mischievous, enquiring twinkle was as bright at the end as when I first set eyes on him. - Christmas broadcast, 2021.

在我深爱的菲利普去世后的几个月里，来自全国、英联邦和世界各地的人们对他的生活和工作表达了热烈的敬意，我从中得到了极大的安慰。他的服务意识，求知欲，以及在任何情况下都能找到乐趣的能力——这些都是无法抑制的。他那调皮的、探询的闪光在最后还是像我第一次看到他时一样明亮。

2022年2月6日，纪念她的铂金周年

As we mark this anniversary, it gives me pleasure to renew to you the pledge I gave in 1947, that my life will always be devoted to your service. And so, as I look forward to continuing to serve you with all my heart, I hope this jubilee will bring together families and friends, neighbours and communities – after some difficult times for so many of us – in order to enjoy the celebrations and to reflect on the positive developments in our day-to-day lives that have so happily coincided with my reign.

在我们纪念这一周年之际，我很高兴再次向你们重申我在1947年作出的承诺，我将永远致力于为你们服务。因此，当我期待着继续全心全意为你们服务时，我希望这个禧年能让我们的家人、朋友、邻居和社区聚在一起——在我们许多人经历了一段艰难的时期之后——来享受庆祝活动，并反思在我执政期间我们日常生活中如此幸福的积极发展。
