Sir Nicholas Winton, a British man who saved 669 children from the Nazis, was awarded the highest civilian honour in the Czech Republic on Tuesday.
尼古拉斯·温顿爵士是一位英国人,他曾从纳粹手里救出669名犹太儿童。他在本周二被捷克共和国授予了最高的平民荣誉。
Winton, now 105, was presented with the Order of the White Lion by the Czech president in a special ceremony at Prague Castle.
在布拉格城堡的特殊典礼上,105岁高龄的温顿被捷克总统颁发了最高荣誉奖章——白狮勋章。
Winton, who has often been nicknamed “the British Schindler”, organised the transportation and settlement of 669 children over nine months before the second world war broke out in September 1939. Most of those he saved were Jewish children living in then-German-occupied Czechoslovakia whose families were later imprisoned or murdered in concentration camps.
温顿常被人称为“英国辛德勒”。在1939年九月爆发的第二次世界大战之前的九个多月里,他为669名犹太儿童安排了运输工具和栖息之所。他所救的大部分是犹太人的小孩,他们住在被德军占领的捷克斯洛伐克。这些孩子的家人之后都在集中营里被囚禁或被杀害。
Winton gave a speech during the ceremony. He said: “I want to thank you all for this enormous expression of thanks for something which happened to me a heck of a long time ago. I am delighted that so many of the children are still about and are here to thank me.
