文化面面觀 伊莉莎白女王和首相布萊爾在黛安娜王妃葬禮上的致辭 On the Death of Princess Dianaby Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Queen of the United Kingdom
The Queen spoke to the nation live at 6.00 p.m. on Friday,5Septr, from the Chinese Dining Room at Buckingham Palace, 1997
Since last Sunday"s dreadful news we have seen, throughoutBritainand around the world, an overwhelming expression of sadnessatDiana"s death.
We have all been trying in our different ways to cope. It isnoteasy to express a sense of loss, since the initial shock isoftensucceeded by a mixture of other feelings:disbelief,incomprehension, anger -- and concern for those whoremain.
We have all felt those emotions in these last few days. So whatIsay to you now, as your queen and as a grandmother, I say frommyheart.
First, I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. She wasanexceptional and gifted human being. In good times and bad,shenever lost her capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspireotherswith her warmth and kindness.
I admired and respected her -- for her energy and commitmenttoothers, and especially for her devotion to her two boys.
This week at Balmoral, we have all been trying to help WilliamandHarry come to terms with the devastating loss that they and therestof us have suffered.
No one who knew Diana will ever forget her. Millions of otherswhonever met her, but felt they knew her, will remr her.
I for one believe that there are lessons to be drawn from herlifeand from the extraordinary and moving reaction to herdeath.
I share in your determination to cherish her memory.
This is also an opportunity for me, on behalf of my family,andespecially Prince Charles and William and Harry, to thank allofyou who have brought flowers, sent messages, and paid yourrespectsin so many ways to a remarkable person.
These acts of kindness have been a huge source of helpandcomfort.
Our thoughts are also with Diana"s family and the familiesofthose who died with her. I know that they too have drawnstrengthfrom what has happened since last weekend, as they seek tohealtheir sorrow and then to face the future without a lovedone.
I hope that tomorrow we can all, wherever we are, joininexpressing our grief at Diana"s loss, and gratitude forherall-too-short life.
It is a chance to show to the whole world the Britishnationunited in grief and respect.
May those who died rest in peace and may we, each and every oneofus, thank God for someone who made many, many people happy.

文化面面觀 伊莉莎白女王和首相布萊爾在黛安娜王妃葬禮上的致辭 Funeral of Diana, Princess of Walesby Tony Blair
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and havenotlove, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.Andthough I have the gift of prophecy and understand allmysteries,and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that Icouldremove mountains, and have not love, I arn nothing. And thoughIbestow all my goods to feed the poor. and though I give my bodytobe burned. And have not love, it profiteth me nothing.Lovesuffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vauntethnotitself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly.seekethnot her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;rejoicethnot in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth allthings,believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth allthings.
Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, theyshallfail; whether there be tongues. they shall cease; whethertliere beknowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part. Andweprophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, thenthatwhich is in part shall be done away.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child,Ithought as a child: hut when I became a man. I put awaychildishthings. For now we see through a glass darkly but then facetoface: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also Iamknown And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; butthegreatest of these is love.
思想火花對於這部影片的拍攝，工作人員自然是做了大量細緻的考據工作，力求每個細節都能符合當時的情況，不會被王室和政府提出非議。女王和首相的胸懷也著實可嘉，允許這樣一部電影的拍攝。海倫·米倫在奧斯卡頒獎典禮上向女王表示了敬意："AndIsalute her courage and her consistency, and I thank her becauseifit wasn"t for her, I most certainly would not be here. Ladiesandgentlemen, I give you the Queen!"
「這部電影在時間的跨度上就是布萊爾和女王的兩次見面以及這之間的一段時間。第一次見面是布萊爾接受首相認命，第二次見面是二者在黛安娜死亡事件之後的再次會面，這中間自然就是共同面對黛安娜死亡事件的時間。在第一次會面女王還是有足夠的傲慢的，她自然也知道她面對的是所謂的激進改革派的工黨首相，在第二次會面的時候，布萊爾有足夠的資本希望這次女王給他足夠的禮遇，因為在黛安娜死亡事件的處理上，他給女王和王室足夠的支持了，當然，女王也給了她相應的回報，最終，兩者像朋友一樣可以在倫敦伯金漢宮的草坪上漫步。黛安娜這位布萊爾稱作"人民王妃"的死亡帶給改革派的首領和必須面對現代社會變遷的女王帶來了如此好的潤滑作用。對於這個作用的詼諧、調侃和感傷的複雜情愫就是這部作品的微言大義。」（網易）
