影片对白

The Queen《女王》(精讲之二)Tony: Good morning, Your Majesty.

Elizabeth: Prime Minister.

Tony: May I say, by the way, how very sorry I am. The thoughts and prayers of my family are with you at this terrible time, and with the Princess in particular.

Elizabeth: Thank you.

Tony: Is it your intention to make some kind of appearance or statement?

Elizabeth: No. No, certainly not. No member in the royal family will speak publicly about this. This is a private matter. We would all appreciate it if it could be respected as such.

Tony: I see. I don't suppose anyone has had time to think about the funeral yet?

Elizabeth: Well. We've spoken with the Spencer family, and it is their wish, it is their express wish that this should be a private funeral with a memorial service to follow in a month.

Tony: Right.

Elizabeth: Given that Diana was no longer a member of the royal family, we have no other choice but to respect their wishes.

Tony: I see. You, you don't feel thatin view ofher high profile and popularity, it might be an idea topay tribute toher life and achievements, or even just to her as a mother?

Elizabeth: Well, as I said, it's her family's wish.

Tony: And the public, ma'am, the British people? You don't think a private funeral might be denying them a chance...

Elizabeth: A chance to what?

Tony: To share in the grief?

Elizabeth: This is a family funeral, Mr Blair, not a fairground attraction. I think the Princess has already paid a high enough price for exposure to the press, don't you? Now, if there's nothing else, I have to get on. The children have to be looked after.

Tony: Of course. Well. Goodbye, Your Maj...

Anchorperson: And we're going, we're going in fact, I believe, to Sedgefield, the Prime Minister's constituency, where he is about to make a statement. Yes, the Prime Minister coming now with his wife, Cherie.

Man: Yeah, well, apart from that?

Woman: He's on. Alastair, he's on! Come on!

Tony: Though her own life was often sadly touched by tragedy, she touched the lives of so many others in Britain and throughout the world with joy and with comfort. The people everywhere, not just here in Britain, everywhere, theykept faith withPrincess Diana. They liked her. They loved her. They regarded her as one of the people. She was the people's princess and that's how she will... stay, how she will remain... in our hearts and in our memories... forever.

Man: A bitover the top, don't you think?

Anchorperson: The Prime Minister, paying his own tribute to the Princess of Wales. The people of Britain, he said, kept faith with Princess Diana. They loved her. She was the people's princess.
