Even Prince Philip has decided it’s time to slow down a little – having, as he economically put it, ‘done his bit’.
回想这些事情让我感谢家庭和家人的祝福，特别是70年的婚姻。我不知道在我出生的时候，有没有人为70周年结婚纪念日发明了白金这个词。没想到你会活那么久。就连菲利普亲王也决定是时候放慢脚步了——用他用经济学上的话来说说，他已经完成了他该做的事。

We should take comfort that, while we may have more still to endure, better days will return: we will be with our friends again; we will be with our families again; we will meet again. - Televised address on April 5, 2020, after outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic.

As we mark this anniversary, it gives me pleasure to renew to you the pledge I gave in 1947, that my life will always be devoted to your service. And so, as I look forward to continuing to serve you with all my heart, I hope this jubilee will bring together families and friends, neighbours and communities – after some difficult times for so many of us – in order to enjoy the celebrations and to reflect on the positive developments in our day-to-day lives that have so happily coincided with my reign.
在我们纪念这一周年之际，我很高兴再次向你们重申我在1947年作出的承诺，我将永远致力于为你们服务。因此，当我期待着继续全心全意为你们服务时，我希望这个禧年能让我们的家人、朋友、邻居和社区聚在一起——在我们许多人经历了一段艰难的时期之后——来享受庆祝活动，并反思在我执政期间我们日常生活中如此幸福的积极发展。
