tribute to diana
致戴安娜——查尔斯·斯宾塞
在全世界，戴安娜是同情心、责任心、风度和美丽的化身，是无私和人道的象征，是维
护真正被践踏的权益的旗手，是一个超越国界的英国女孩，是一个带有自然的高贵气质的人，
是一个不分阶层的人。
this is the text of earl spencers tribute to his sister at her funeral. there is some
very deep, powerful and heartfelt sentiment. would that those at whom it is aimed
would take heed. the versions posted on several news services had minor errors.
this is precisely as it was deliverd.
i stand before you today the representative of a family in grief, in a country in
mourning before a world in shock.
we are all united not only in our desire to pay our respects to diana but rather
in our need to do so.
for such was her extraordinary appeal that the tens of millions of people taking
part in this service all over the world via television and radio who never actually met
her, feel that they, too, lost someone close to them in the early hours of sunday
morning. it is a more remarkable tribute to diana than i can ever hope to offer her
today.
today is our chance to say thank you for the way you brightened our lives, even
though god granted you but half a life. we will all feel cheated, always, that you
were taken from us so young and yet we must learn to be grateful that you came
along at all.
only now you are gone do we truly appreciate what we are now without and we
want you to know that life without you is very, very difficult.
we have all despaired at our loss over the past week and only the strength of
the message you gave us through your years of giving has afforded us the strength
to move forward.
there is a temptation to rush to canonize your memory. there is no need to do
so. you stand tall enough as a human being of unique qualities not to need to be
seen as a saint. indeed to sanctify your memory would be to miss out on the very
core of your being, your wonderfully mischievous sense of humor with the laugh
that bent you double, your joy for life transmitted wherever you took your smile,
and the sparkle in those unforgettable eyes, your boundless energy which you
could barely contain.
but your greatest gift was your intuition, and it was a gift you used wisely. this
is what underpinned all your wonderful attributes. and if we look to analyze what it
was about you that had such a wide appeal, we find it in your instinctive feel for
what was really important in all our lives.
without your god-given sensitivity, we would be immersed in greater
ignorance at the anguish of aids and hiv sufferers, the plight of the homeless, the
isolation of lepers, the random destruction of land mines. diana explained to me
once that it was her innermost feelings of suffering that made it possible for her to
connect with her constituency of the rejected.
the world sensed this part of her character and cherished her for her
vulnerability, whilst admiring her for her honesty. the last time i saw diana was on
july the first, her birthday, in london, when typically she was not taking time to
celebrate her special day with friends but was guest of honor at a fund-raising
charity evening.
she sparkled of course, but i would rather cherish the days i spent with her in
march when she came to visit me and my children in our home in south africa. i am
proud of the fact that apart from when she was on public display meeting president
mandela, we managed to contrive to stop the ever-present paparazzi from getting
a single picture of her.
that meant a lot to her.
these were days i will always treasure. it was as if wed been transported back to
our childhood, when we spent such an enormous amount of time together, the two
youngest in the family.
fundamentally she hadnt changed at all from the big sister who mothered me
as a baby, fought with me at school and endured those long train journeys between
our parents homes with me at weekends. it is a tribute to her level-headedness and
strength that despite the most bizarre life imaginable after her childhood, she
remained intact, true to herself.
there is no doubt that she was looking for a new direction in her life at this time.
she talked
endlessly of getting away from england, mainly because of the treatment she
received at the hands of the newspapers.
i dont think she ever understood why her genuinely good intentions were
sneered at by the media, why there appeared to be a permanent quest on their
behalf to bring her down. it is baffling. my own, and only, explanation is that
genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral
spectrum.
it is a point to remember that of all the ironies about diana, perhaps the
greatest was this; that a girl given the name of the ancient goddess of hunting was,
in the end, the most hunted person of the modern age.
she would want us today to pledge ourselves to protecting her beloved boys
william and harry from a similar fate. and i do this here, diana, on your behalf. we
will not allow them to suffer the anguish that used regularly to drive you to tearful
despair.
beyond that, on behalf of your mother and sisters, i pledge that we, your blood
family, will do all we can to continue the imaginative and loving way in which you
were steering these two exceptional young men, so that their souls are not simply
immersed by duty and tradition but can sing openly as you planned.
we fully respect the heritage into which they have both been born, and will
always respect and encourage them in their royal role. but we, like you, recognize
the need for them to experience as many different aspects of life as possible, to arm
them spiritually and emotionally for the years ahead. i know you would have
expected nothing less from us.
william and harry, we all care desperately for you today. we are all chewed up
with sadness at the loss of a woman who wasnt even our mother. how great your
suffering is we cannot even imagine.
i would like to end by thanking god for the small mercies he has shown us at
this dreadful time; for taking diana at her most beautiful and radiant and when she
had joy in her private life.
hello,every body !thank you .thank you ,every body!all right,every body go
ahead and have a is everybody doing today?i am here with students at
wakefield higt we have students tuning in from all across america,from
kindergraten through 12th i am just so glad that all could join us
today .and i want to thank wakefield for being such an outstanding host .give
yourselves a big round of appluse.
i know that for many of you ,today is the first day of for thoses of
you in kindengraten ,or starting middle or high school ,is you first day in a new
school,so is understandable if you are a little nervous.i imagine there are some
seniors out there who are felling pretty good right now,with just one more year to
go .and no matter grade you are in,some of you are probably wishing it were still
sumer and you could have stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.
i know that felling ,when i was young,my family lived oversea.i lived in
indonesia for a few my mothor,she didn’t have the money to send me
where all the american kids went to school ,but she thought it was important for
me to keep up with an american education,so she decided to teach me extra
lessons herself ,monday though firday ,but she had to go to only time she
could do it was at 4:30 in the morning .
mr. president, ladies and gentlemen,good afternoon!
主席先生，各位来宾，大家午安！ before i introduce our cultural programs, only tell
you one thing first about 2008. youre going tohave a great time in beijing.
在我介绍我们的文化项目之前，首先我要告诉你们一件有关于2008的事情，那就是你
们将在北京度过一段美好的时光。 many people are fascinated by chinss sport legends
in the history. for example, back to songdynasty, which was the 11th century,
people in our country started to play a game called cuju,which is regarded as the
origin of ancient football. the game was so popular that women were
alsoparticipating. now, you would probably understand why our womens football
team does so welltoday.
很多人都对中国历史上的体育传奇感兴趣。例如，早在宋代，大约11世纪，人们开始
玩一个叫蹴鞠的游戏，这被看作是足球古老的起源。这个游戏很受欢迎，妇女也来参加。现
在，你就会明白，为什么我们的女子足球队这么厉害了。 there are a lot more wonderful
and exciting events waiting for you in the new beijing, a modernmetropolis with
3,000 years of cultural treasures woven into the urban tapestry. along with theiconic
imagery of the forbidden city, the temple of heaven and the great wall, the city also
offersan endless mixture of theatres, museums, discos, all kinds of restaurants and
shopping malls whichwill amaze and delight you.
volve youngpeople from around the world. during the olympics, these activites
will also be held in the olympicvillage and in the city for the benefit of the athletes.
基于丝绸之路带来的灵感，我们的火炬接力将有新的突破，从奥林匹亚开始，穿越一些
最古老的国家文明古国——希腊、罗马、埃及、拜占庭、美索不达米亚、波斯、阿拉伯、
印度和中国。携带的信息“分享和平，分享奥运”永恒的火焰将达到新的高峰，因为它将穿
越喜马拉雅山在世界的最高峰——珠穆朗玛峰。在中国，圣火还将穿过西藏，穿越长江与
黄河，游历长城，并拜访香港，澳门，台湾和56个民族的人们，在这一历程之中，圣火的
观看人数将超越所有之前的传递，儿它也将被激励更多的人参与到奥林匹克的大家庭中。 i
am afraid i can not give you the full picture of our cultural programs within such a
short period oftime. before i end, let me share with you one story. seven hundred
years ago, amazed by hisincredible description of a far away land of great beauty,
people asked marco polo whether hisstories about china were true. and marco
answered: what i have told you was not even half ofwhat i saw. actually, what we
have shown you here today is only a fraction of the beijing thatawaits you.
在这么短的时间里，我恐怕不能介绍现在的中华全貌与我们的文化，在我结束前，让我
跟大家分享这样一个故事，七百年前，马可波罗来到中国，马可波罗曾对中国的美丽有过惊
奇的描述，人们对他描述感到十分惊讶，人们问马可波罗他的故事是不是真的，他回答道：
我告诉你的连我看到的一半都没有达到。其实,我们已经介绍的只是一小部分，北京正在等
待着你！
ladies and gentlemen，
我相信北京将向你们所有人证明它是一片神奇的土地, 不论是运动员，观众，还是全世
界的电视观众。来吧，和我们一起来吧！谢谢主席先生。谢谢大家。 现在再次由请何振梁
先生讲话。
