当地时间20日晚，英国女王伊丽莎白二世在白金汉宫宴会厅举行盛大的国宴，欢迎对英国进行国事访问的习近平主席和夫人彭丽媛女士。
作为国宴的最重要的一个环节，英国女王在国宴开始后，发表了致辞，欢迎到访的习近平主席夫妇。
那么女王在致辞里都说了啥事情，我们一起来看一看。
在例行的问候之后，女王首先回忆了自己和菲利普亲王1986年访华时的美好经历，那一次女王夫妇登上了长城，去陕西西安参观了秦始皇陵和兵马俑。据说，女王对于兵马俑是赞不绝口，当时女王还收到了时任陕西省省长李庆伟赠送给女王的一尊单膝跪地的秦俑复制品。而这尊秦俑也出现在了女王向习近平主席介绍白金汉宫收藏展品里。
女王还回忆了她与已故中国领导人邓小平交往的经历，表达了她对邓小平开创中国改革开放的伟大事业的钦佩，中英两国也由此顺利解决香港问题，给中英关系发展带来新的机遇。
当然，女王也提到了作为其代表的英国王位第二顺位继承人、剑桥公爵威廉王子今年对中国的访问。在访华过程中，威廉王子不仅访问了北京、上海，还前往云南探访大象保护区，推动公众对野生动物的保护。
一起来看看女王致辞吧~

Mr. President, Prince Philip and I are delighted to welcome you and Madame
Peng to BuckinghamPalace this evening.
主席先生，菲利普亲王和我本人非常高兴地欢迎您和您的夫人彭丽媛女士今晚来做客白金汉宫。
Your visit to the United Kingdom marks a milestone in this unprecedented
year of co-operationand friendship between the United Kingdom and China, as we
celebrate the ties between our twocountries and prepare to take them to
ambitious new heights.
您对英国的访问，对于今年这一英中两国合作和友谊的前所未有的年份来说，是一个重要的里程碑。我们要庆祝两国之间的友好关系，并要将其推向雄心勃勃的新高度。
The United Kingdom and China have a warm and longstanding friendship.
Prince Philip and I recallwith great fondness our visit to China almost thirty
years ago, where we were privileged toexperience your country’s rich history and
culture, including the Great Wall, the Forbidden Cityand the Terracotta
Warriors: all unforgettable memories of China’s ancient civilisation.
我和菲利普亲王经常会重温将近三十年前我们那次访问中国的美好回忆。我们很荣幸能够体验贵国的丰富历史和文化，长城、故宫和兵马俑，中国的这些古代文明都给我们留下了难忘的回忆。
Yet it was China’s desire to shape a new future which captivated us the
most. We were struck bythe energy and enthusiasm with which China’s leaders were
forging ahead with a new andambitious future for the Chinese people; and I well
recall our discussions with the late paramountleader Mr. Deng Xiaoping, who was
foremost among these leaders in setting a clear direction forChina with his
policy of reform. It was also Mr. Deng’s visionary concept of One Country
TwoSystems which opened the way for the return of Hong Kong to Chinese
sovereignty under theSino-British Joint Declaration.
中国塑造崭新未来的愿望，留给我们的印象最为深刻。中国领导人为带领中国人民走向一个雄心勃勃的新未来所展现的能量和热情，对我们产生了极大的震动。我清楚地记得我与已故最高领导人邓小平先生的会晤，邓先生高瞻远瞩地为中国的改革政策指明了方向。也正是由于邓小平先生一国两制的远见卓识，为在《中英联合声明》下的香港回归中国主权开辟了道路。
Almost thirty years later, Mr. Deng’s vision has borne remarkable fruit.
Rapid economic growthand development has transformed the lives of people across
China and lifted hundreds of millionsout of poverty: a huge and historic
achievement with far reaching positive effects on people’s lives.
将近三十年后，邓先生的愿景已取得了丰硕的成果。中国快速的经济增长和发展，改变了全体中国人民的生活，使数亿人民摆脱了贫困。这是一个巨大的历史性成就，对人们的生活产生了深远的积极影响。
I was delighted that my grandson Prince William was able to witness these
changes during his firstvisit to China earlier this year. Like myself and Prince
Philip, he visited not only your great cities ofBeijing and Shanghai but also
the beautiful province of Yunnan, and saw at first-hand the strongconnections
which bind our two countries together, be they in culture, education or
business.
我很高兴的是，今年早些时候，我的孙儿——威廉王子——他在第一次访问中国期间能够目睹这些变化。与我和菲利普亲王一样，他不仅访问了中国的伟大城市北京和上海，而且还去了美丽的云南，亲身体验了促进我们两国关系紧密发展的诸多领域，无论是文化、教育，还是商业领域。
Mr. President, the relationship between the United Kingdom and China is now
truly a globalpartnership. We have much reason to celebrate the dynamic, growing
economic relationshipbetween our countries as well as our success in working
together to address pressing internationalchallenges.
主席先生，英国和中国之间的关系现在是一个真正的全球伙伴关系。我们有充分的理由来庆祝两国之间的活跃和不断增长的经济关系，以及我们在共同应对紧迫的国际性挑战方面所取得的成功。
