Long Live Love! 愛(ài)情萬(wàn)歲!
In 1970, two years before his death, Edward said:
1970年,即愛(ài)德華去世前兩年,他曾說(shuō)過(guò):
There are some people who think that I was wrong to give away my crown. But they don'tunderstand true love.
有些人認(rèn)為我放棄王位是錯(cuò)誤的。但他們不懂得真正的愛(ài)情。
When I was young,I lived in Buckingham Palace. I could have anything that I wanted. But I wasn'thappy be-cause my heart was empty.
我年輕的時(shí)候住在白金漢宮。我想要的東西都能得到。但我并不快樂(lè),因?yàn)槲业膬?nèi)心是空虛的。
Then I met Wallis and everything changed. For half of my life I have lived here with the mostbeautiful woman in the world. And she is everything to me.
后來(lái)我遇到了沃利斯,一切都變了。我的后半生都和這位世界上最美麗的女人在這里一起度過(guò)。她就是我的一切。
When I sit in my garden with the Duchess by my side, I sometimes think about my early life. Iremember the days alone in my bedroom. I remember the teacher who hit me with a stick. Iremember the war and my travels around the world. And then I remember the crowds of peoplebelow my window,who shouted: "Long live love!"
我和公爵夫人一起坐在花園里時(shí),有時(shí)會(huì)想起自己早年的生活。我想起自己孤零零待在臥室里的那些日子。我想起那個(gè)用棍子打我的老師。我想起戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)和周游世界的旅行。我想起那些聚集在我窗下的人群,他們高呼著:“愛(ài)情萬(wàn)歲!”
On my last night in London I spoke with Winston Churchill. In the middle of our conversation hesaid: "I think, Sir, that the best things in life are free." I have nev-er forgotten those words. Andnow, many years later, I un-derstand what they mean. You cannot buy happiness. And you cannotbuy love.
我離開(kāi)倫敦前的最后一個(gè)晚上和溫斯頓·邱吉爾做過(guò)一次長(zhǎng)談。談話中,他說(shuō):“陛下,我認(rèn)為生活中最好的事情是無(wú)償?shù)摹?rdquo;我從未忘記這句話?,F(xiàn)在,許多年之后,我才理解了它的涵義。幸福是買不到的。愛(ài)情也是買不到的。
To be happy deep inside your heart is the most wonderful thing in the world. I have been a luckyman. And so I say:
內(nèi)心深處的幸福是世界上最美妙的。我是一個(gè)幸運(yùn)的人。所以,我要說(shuō):
"Thank God for Wallis,and LONG LIVE LOVE!"
“感謝上帝給了我沃利斯,愛(ài)情萬(wàn)歲!”
