鉴于英国国内新冠肺炎疫情的艰难境况,94岁高龄的英国女王伊丽莎白二世发表了特别电视讲话,呼吁英国民众团结抗疫,共克时艰。女王在讲话中说道,这一充满挑战的时期为许多人的生活带来了巨大变化,感谢奋战在一线的医护人员、重要岗位的工作者和所有坚持待在家中的人们,希望英国民众共同努力取得抗击疫情的成功。

I am speaking to you at what I know is an increasingly challenging time.

A time of disruption in the life of our country: a disruption that has brought grief to some, financial difficulties to many, and enormous changes to the daily lives of us all.

I want to thank everyone on the NHS front line, as well as care workers and those carrying out essential roles, who selflessly continue their day-to-day duties outside the home in support of us all.

I am sure the nation will join me in assuring you that what you do is appreciated and every hour of your hard work brings us closer to a return to more normal times.

I also want to thank those of you who are staying at home, thereby helping to protect the vulnerable and sparing many families the pain already felt by those who have lost loved ones.

Together we are tackling this disease, and I want to reassure you that if we remain united and resolute, then we will overcome it.

I hope in the years to come everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge.

And those who come after us will say the Britons of this generation were as strong as any.

That the attributes of self-discipline, of quiet good-humoured resolve and of fellow-feeling still characterise this country.

The pride in who we are is not a part of our past, it defines our present and our future.
