喜大普奔，武漢已于4月8日解封，我國的疫情防控工作可以說是取得了階段性的巨大勝利。但是其他國家的疫情卻在持續(xù)升溫，英國首相鮑里斯·約翰遜在確診新冠肺炎之后甚至還因病情惡化住進(jìn)了ICU。英女王伊麗莎白二世在當(dāng)?shù)貢r間4月5日晚8點(diǎn)發(fā)表全國電視講話，鼓勵英國人民團(tuán)結(jié)抗疫，共度時艱。

要知道女王繼位68年以來，這是第五次在圣誕節(jié)以外的時間發(fā)表全國電視講話。前四次分別是第一次海灣戰(zhàn)爭、戴安娜王妃逝世、女王母親逝世和女王繼位60周年?？梢姶舜我咔榈膰?yán)重程度非同一般?？戳伺躏柡钋榈难葜v，隔著屏幕都深受鼓舞。那純正優(yōu)雅的倫敦音，那恰到好處的遣詞造句，都是咱小烤鴨們最好的口語和寫作范本啊，而且是9分??！9分??！畢竟也沒有考官敢不給女王9分吧…小本本拿出來，邊看視頻邊跟女王一起學(xué)純正英語表達(dá)，跟Chinglish say goodbye.

It reminds me of the very first broadcast I made, in 1940, helped by my sister. We, as children, spoke from here at Windsor to children who had been evacuated from their homes and sent away for their own safety.
