在英国的传统里，每年有几百上千万的观众忠实地守候在电视前，看女王徐徐道来一年中的大事件，听她用睿智而坚定的话语鼓舞和安慰大家，让观众的心里充满了对新一年的希望。下面出国留学网来说说英国女王圣诞节演讲稿中英对照版。
女王圣诞讲话的官方名称是 “女王殿下最仁慈的演讲”(Her Majesty’s Most Gracious Speech)。
女王在讲话里提到了科技的进步，幽默地提到她随科技自己的进化，她尤其强调了60年来不变的东西 --- 家给人带来的温暖和庇佑 --- 不变的东西才更打动她的内心。
她在演讲中提到了家给她的支持，尤其是和菲利普亲王七十年的婚姻。她在讲话中，幽默地说到，不知是谁发明了七十年“白金婚”的说法，当她出生的时候，其实没人指望她能活这么久。她还尤其提到明年有一位新的家庭成员的加入，很明显，亨利王子明年将和梅根·马克尔大婚，作为王子的老奶奶，她给予了热情的欢迎和祝福。

Sixty years ago today, a young woman spoke about the speed of technological change as she presented the first television broadcast of its kind. She described the moment as a landmark:
六十年的今天，一位年轻的女士(女王幽默地说她自己)，第一次通过电视，广播了她的讲话。她谈到了科技进化的速度，并把那个时刻称做是里程碑。
Television has made it possible for many of you to see me in your homes on Christmas Day. My own family often gather round to watch television, as they are at this moment. And that is how I imagine you now.
电视的出现，让大家过圣诞节的时候，坐在家里也能看到我。我的家里人也经常围坐在一起看电视，比如现在。我想，你们现在也是。
Six decades on, the presenter has evolved somewhat, as has the technology she described. Back then, who could have imagined that people would one day be watching this on laptops and mobile phones, as some of you are today?
六十年过去了，当年的通过电视广播演讲的女士自己，如她所描述的科技一样，也多少成长了一些。回到那个时候，谁能想到，你们今天会通过电脑或手机来观看我的圣诞演讲呢?
But I'm also struck by something that hasn't changed - that whatever the technology, many of you will be watching this at home.
但是...
