Although it's a time of great happiness and good cheer for many, Christmas can be hard for those who have lost loved ones. This year, especially, I understand why.
雖然對于許多人來說，這是一個充滿幸福和歡樂的時刻，但是對于那些失去摯愛的人來說，圣誕節(jié)可能會很難熬。特別是今年，我非常理解這一點。
But for me, in the months since the death of my beloved Philip, I have drawn great comfort from the warmth and affection of the many tributes to his life and work – from around the country, the Commonwealth and the world.
但是對于我來說，在我至愛的菲利普去世后的幾個月里，我從來自全英各地、英聯(lián)邦和全世界對他生活和工作的眾多贊美中得到了極大的安慰。
His sense of service, intellectual curiosity and capacity to squeeze fun out of any situation – were all irrepressible. That mischievous, enquiring twinkle was as bright at the end as when I first set eyes on him.
他的服務(wù)意識、求知欲和從任何處境中激發(fā)樂趣的能力，都是由衷而發(fā)的。他那調(diào)皮、好奇的眼神，無論是在他生命的最后時刻，還是我們第一次相見時一樣明亮。
But life, of course, consists of final partings as well as first meetings; and as much as I and my family miss him, I know he would want us to enjoy Christmas.
但是，生命當(dāng)然包括最初的相遇和最后的離別——盡管我和我的家人們無比想念他，我知道他希望我們享受圣誕節(jié)。
