As a child, I never imagined that one day a man would walk on the moon. Yet this year we marked the 50th anniversary of the famous Apollo 11 mission. As those historic pictures were beamed (传递) back to Earth, millions of us sat transfixed (使…呆住) to our television screens, as we watched Neil Armstrong taking a small step for man and a giant leap for mankind---and, indeed, for womankind. It’s a reminder for us all that giant leaps often start with small steps.
This year we marked another important anniversary: D-Day. On 6th June 1944, some 156,000 British, Canadian and American forces landed in northern France. It was the largest ever seabourne invasion and was delayed due to bad weather. I well remember the look of concern on my father’s face. He knew the secret D-Day plans but could of course share that burden with no one.
For the 75th anniversary of that decisive battle, in a true spirit of reconciliation (和解), those who had formally been sworn enemies came together in friendly commemorations (纪念) either side of the Channel, putting past differences behind them. Such reconciliation seldom happens overnight. It takes patience and time to rebuild trust, and progress often comes through small steps
Since the end of the Second World War, many charities, groups and organisations have worked to promote peace and unity around the world, bringing together those who have been on opposing sides. By being willing to put past differences behind us and move forward together, we honour the freedom and democracy (民主) once won for us at so great a cost.
The path, of course, is not always smooth, and may at times this year have felt quite bumpy, but small steps can make a world of difference. And, as we all look forward to the start of a new decade, it’s worth remembering that it is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change.
And so, I wish you all a very happy Christmas.
作为一个孩子,我从未想过有一天一个人会在月球上行走。然而,今年我们纪念了著名的阿波罗11号任务50周年。当那些历史照片被播放时(传递) 回到地球,我们数百万人坐在那里目瞪口呆(使…呆住) 在我们的电视屏幕上,我们看到尼尔·阿姆斯特朗为男人迈出了一小步,为人类迈出了一大步——事实上,也为女性迈出了一步。这提醒我们所有人,巨大的飞跃往往始于小步。
今年,我们纪念了另一个重要的周年纪念日:诺曼底登陆日。1944年6月6日,约156000名英国、加拿大和美国军队在法国北部登陆。这是有史以来规模最大的一次海上入侵,由于天气恶劣而被推迟。我清楚地记得父亲脸上关切的表情。他知道诺曼底登陆日的秘密计划,但当然不能与任何人分担这个负担。
本着真正的和解精神,纪念这场决定性战斗75周年(和解), 那些正式成为死敌的人聚集在一起进行友好的纪念(纪念) 海峡两岸,把过去的分歧抛在脑后。这种和解很少在一夜之间发生。重建信任需要耐心和时间,而进步往往是通过一小步来实现的
自第二次世界大战结束以来,许多慈善机构、团体和组织致力于促进世界各地的和平与团结,将对立双方聚集在一起。我们愿意把过去的分歧抛在脑后,共同前进,以此尊重自由和民主(民主) 曾经为我们赢得了如此巨大的代价。
当然,这条路并不总是平坦的,今年有时可能会感到相当崎岖,但一小步就能改变世界。而且,当我们都期待着新的十年的开始时,值得记住的是,带来最持久变化的往往是小步,而不是大步。
