英国女王伊丽莎白二世在德国总统府欢迎国宴上英语演讲稿
Since 1945 the United Kingdom has determined to number among Germany's very strongestfriends in Europe. In the intervening decades, Britain and Germany have achieved so much byworking together. I have every confidence that we will continue to do so in the years ahead.
Since Berlin and Germany were reunited there has been much to celebrate. Today I cruisedwith you, Mr President, along the Spree. I saw fewer cranes than when I was last here in 2004.But still the most magnificent element of Berlin's skyline is the Reichstag dome, an enduringreminder of our cultural cooperation. Our work together includes every part of life, frompolitics to commerce, from industry to every aspect of the arts, in particular, music,museums and education.
We also saw a wonderful example of partnership in education and science during our visit to theTechnical University this afternoon. The enthusiasm and interest our students and youngpeople have for each other's ideas and work is our greatest asset: the next generation is at easewith itself and with contemporaries across Europe in a way that was never the case before.
The United Kingdom has always been closely involved in its continent. Even when our mainfocus was elsewhere in the world, our people played a key part in Europe. In the nineteenthcentury in the Russian Empire a Welsh engineer called John Hughes founded a mining townwhich is now Donetsk in Ukraine. And in the seventeenth century a Scottish publican calledRichard Cant moved his family to Pomerania; his son moved further East to Memel and hisgrandson then moved South to K?nigsberg, where Richard's great-grandson, Immanuel Kant,was born.
In our lives, Mr President, we have seen the worst but also the best of our continent. We havewitnessed how quickly things can change for the better. But we know that we must work hardto maintain the benefits of the post-war world. We know that division in Europe is dangerousand that we must guard against it in the West as well as in the East of our continent. Thatremains a common endeavour.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I ask you to rise and drink a toast to the President and the people ofGermany.
