前段时间英国女王伊丽莎白二世发表了一段鼓舞人心的演讲，着实刮起一波热潮。今晚昕妈就带你一起欣赏女王的英伦风，学一学地道的表达。演讲中女王感谢了医务工作者，坚守岗位的人们，专门感谢了待在家的人，说他们的做法保护了其他人。她还提到了人们在疫情中面临的财务和情感困难，并回忆了英国二战时的险境，希望民众团结一致，自律、坚强战胜疫情。 最感人的则是女王的最后一句话，她说成功将属于我们每一个人，一切终归恢复平静与美好。美好的日子会回来的，我们终会重逢！（Success will belong to every one of us. Better days will return. we will meet again.） 演讲稿通篇没有什么生词，不过我们还是可以从中学到一些高级词汇和句式，用于自己的口语表达和习作中。先听第一句，I am speaking to you at what I know is an increasingly challenging time. 这里用 increasingly加强语气，表示越来越多的意思，替代最为常用的more and more 。第二句里的片段:a disruption that has brought grief to some, financial difficulties to many, and enormous changes to the daily lives of us all. 注意句中that 引导的名词性从句修饰disruption, 还有要学会用 grief 、enormous 分别替代平常用的sadness和big等词汇。第三句话:I want to thank everyone on the NHS frontline, as well as care workers and those carrying out essential roles, who selflessly continue their day-to-day duties outside the home in support of us all. 这句有点长，亮点是连接代词who引导的名词性从句，大可以借鉴在自己的习作中。不过如果英文功底不够扎实的最好不要用，写不好反而会弄巧成拙。话说句中表达并列意思的词组as well as倒是容易学习借鉴的，比起你用and一词可是高级许多。接下来一句: I am sure the nation will join me in assuring you that what you do is appreciated and every hour of your hard work brings us closer to are turn to more normal times. 亮点依然是从句，且that引导的名词性从句里又套了个what引导的从句。 值得学习的词汇是closer to ，显然比near 要高级些。继续往下听: I also want to thank those of you who are staying at home, thereby helping to protect the vulnerable and sparing many families the pain already felt by those who have lost loved ones. 该句开头用了再简单不过的单词also做了一个很自然的衔接，句中依然是由who 引导的从句，分别精准地修饰表明待在家里的人们以及失去亲人的那些人。值得一提的是句中sparing一词,最常知道的是“空余的，节约的”等意思，而在这里则是“使不受伤害”的意思，与该句前面的protect一词意思相近，同时使用这两个单词既避免重复又起到词汇多样化的作用，可谓是相得益彰。再往下听一直到最后，像those who come after us will…，The pride in who we are …，The moments when the United Kingdom has come together to applaud…等句型，女王将各类从句的作用发挥得淋漓尽致，值得去借鉴。综上所述，短短四分钟多一点时间的女王演讲还是有许多值得学习借鉴之处。所以学习并不是要狠背多少个单词亦或是狂刷多少道题，关键还是要像我说的这样浸润原汁原味英文，用心揣摩，并加以融会贯通，如此才能全面掌握好所学的知识，考试时也才能如“庖丁解牛”般应答如流，考出好成绩。 最后，借女王的话向大家致以最诚挚的感谢和祝福。I send my thanks and warmest good wishes to you all.
