据英国广播公司(BBC)11月1日报道,当地时间1日,英国女王伊丽莎白二世在第26届联合国气候变化大会的欢迎晚宴上以视频方式致辞,敦促各国领导人着眼于子孙后代的福祉,立即采取行动应对气候危机。
现年95岁的伊丽莎白二世表示,没人会长生不老,我们这样做不是为了自己,而是为了我们的子孙后代。这也是她10月20日入院以来首次以视频形式露面。
此前,英国女王伊丽莎白二世曾按照医生建议到医院接受检查,度过一夜后出院返回温莎城堡。白金汉宫没有说明伊丽莎白二世接受检查的原因和结果。英国媒体报道说,伊丽莎白二世是在伦敦一家私人医院接受检查,入院原因与新冠疫情无关。

在致辞中,英国女王希望这次会议将是少有的机会之一,每位领导人都有机会超越当前的政治,实现真正的政治家风范。
“I, for one, hope that this conference will be one of those rare occasions where everyone will have the chance to rise above the politics of the moment, and achieve true statesmanship.”
伊丽莎白二世表示:“许多人希望,这次峰会留下的遗产将记载在尚未出版的历史书中,将你们描述为没有放弃这个机会的领导人;你们响应了后代的号召;你们作为国家共同体,带着应对气候变化影响的决心、愿望和计划离开这次会议。并且认识到现在已经是采取行动而非纸上谈兵的时刻了。”
“It is the hope of many that the legacy of this summit - written in history books yet to be printed – will describe you as the leaders who did not pass up the opportunity; and that you answered the call of those future generations. That you left this conference as a community of nations with a determination, a desire, and a plan, to address the impact of climate change; and to recognise that the time for words has now moved to the time for action.”
“当然,并非我们中的所有人都能享受到这些行动的成果,我们中没人会长生不老。但我们这样做不是为了我们自己,而是为了我们的孩子,我们孩子的孩子,以及那些将追随它们脚步的人。所以我祝愿你们在这一重要努力中取得成功。”
“Of course, the benefits of such actions will not be there to enjoy for all of us here today: we none of us will live forever. But we are doing this not for ourselves but for our children and our children’s children, and those who will follow in their footsteps. And so, I wish you every good fortune in this significant endeavour.”
