伦敦塔上的陶瓷罂粟吸引了数百万人,沉默是人们看到这场景并从中穿过时的唯一反应。每一朵罂粟象征着一个生命,让人们想起失去至爱后的悲痛。
No one who fought in that war is still alive, but we remember their sacrifice and indeed the sacrifice of all those in the armed forces who serve and protect us today.
也不能忘记那些依然在服务和保卫着我们的军中将士做出的奉献。
In 1914, many people thought the war would be over by Christmas, but sadly by then the trenches were dug and the future shape of the war in Europe was set.
1914年,很多人认为战争会在圣诞节结束,但遗憾的是那时战壕已经挖好,欧洲战场上未来的战争形态也已经确定。
But, as we know, something remarkable did happen that Christmas, exactly a hundred years ago today.
不过,正如我们知道的那样,一百年前的今天,也就是圣诞节当天,的确发生了一件意义非凡的事情。
Without any instruction or command, the shooting stopped and German and British soldiers met in No Man's Land. Photographs were taken and gifts exchanged. It was a Christmas truce.
没有指示,没有命令,射击停止了,德国士兵和英国士兵相聚在无人地带。士兵们拍照留念并互赠礼物。这就是圣诞节休战协定。
Truces are not a new idea. In the ancient world a truce was declared for the duration of the Olympic Games and wars and battles were put on hold.
