72. Tribute to Diana
72. 致戴安娜
There is no doubt that she was looking for a new direction in her life at this away from England, mainly because of the treatment that she received at the hands of the newspapers. I don't think she ever understood why her genuinely good intentions were sneered at by the media, why there appeared to be a permanent quest on their behalf to bring her down. It is baffling.
毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，她一直在尋找一個(gè)新的生活方向，她不時(shí)說(shuō)起要離開英國(guó)，主要是受不了報(bào)紙對(duì)她的圍攻。我想她始終不明白為什么她的真誠(chéng)善意會(huì)被媒體扭曲嘲弄，為什么周圍總有一股永遠(yuǎn)把她拉倒的代表媒體的勢(shì)力，這些確實(shí)令人難以理解。
My own and only explanation is that genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum. It is a point to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum. It is a point to remember that of all the ironies about Diana, perhaps the greatest was this a girl given the name of the ancient goddess of hunting was, in the end, the most hunted person of the modern age.
我自己唯一的解釋，就是真正的善與美對(duì)那些位于道德光譜另一端的人來(lái)說(shuō)，是一種威脅。但是，在一切有關(guān)黛安娜的嘲諷中，也許最大的諷刺是：一個(gè)女孩子，她的名字是古代擰獵女神(黛安娜)，自己最后卻成為現(xiàn)代社會(huì)最受圍剿的一個(gè)人。
She would want us today to pledge ourselves to protecting her beloved boys William and Harry from a similar fate and I do this here Diana on your behalf. We will not allow them to suffer the anguish that used regularly to drive you to tearful despair.
她會(huì)要我們今天誓言保護(hù)她鐘愛的孩子威廉和哈里，免遭相同的命運(yùn)。黛安娜，我在這里代表你起誓，我們決不會(huì)讓他們?cè)馐芘c你那種慣于把你逼到絕望落淚的苦難。
And beyond that, on behalf of your mother and sisters, I pledge that we, your blood family, will do all we can to continue the imaginative way in which you were steering these two exceptional young men so that their souls are not simply immersed by duty and tradition but can sing openly as you planned.
另外，我代表你母親和兩個(gè)姐姐起誓，我們，你的骨肉親人，將盡一切能力繼續(xù)走你那極富創(chuàng)意和深具愛心的道路，引導(dǎo)這兩個(gè)杰出孩子，讓他們的心靈不是束縛在職責(zé)的傳統(tǒng)中，而是能如你所期盼地自由地放聲歌唱。
