今天主推裡的女王演講
除了美麗的辭藻
動人的故事和優雅的發音
還有一句特別溫暖人心：
to be thankful for the people who bring love and happiness into our own lives, and to look for ways of spreading that love to others, whenever, wherever we can.
本來給大家準備了其他的分享
無奈女王的演講太深得我心
而且肯定有很多朋友
只是聽聽看看這個視頻
不會深究演講內容
所以決定帶大家來看看

今天的學習可能有點多噢
（嚴肅正經臉）
At this time of year, few sights evoke more feelings of cheer and goodwill than the twinkling lights of a Christmas tree.
evoke 喚起...
feelings of cheer and goodwill 歡樂美好的感受
.Gathering round the tree gives us a chance to think about the year ahead - I am looking forward to a busy 2016, though I have been warned I may have Happy Birthday sung to me more than once or twice.
Gathering round 相聚在.
think about the year ahead 展望新的一年
...It is true that the world has had to confront moments of darkness this year, but the Gospel of John contains a verse of great hope, often read at Christmas carol services: 'The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it'.
confront 面對、遭遇
.The custom of topping a tree also goes back to Prince Albert's time
topping a tree這裡的top是非常形象作動詞
.Despite being displaced and persecuted throughout his short life, Christ's unchanging message was not one of revenge or violence but simply that we should love one another.
being displaced and persecuted 流離失所、遭到迫害
simply在這裡是傳達、說明的意思
Although it is not an easy message to follow, we shouldn't be discouraged; rather, it inspires us to try harder: to be thankful for the people who bring love and happiness into our own lives, and to look for ways of spreading that love to others, whenever and wherever we can.
rather 在這個地方是「反而」的意思
.There's an old saying that 'it is better to light a candle than curse the darkness'.
這句話的意思是：與其詛咒黑暗，不如用蠟燭去照亮他。
