英國女王伊莉莎白二世Queen Elizabeth II, 趣聞等 a queen without compare. The funeral of Queen Elizabeth II




關於女王的一個有趣而真實的故事:
大約在2005年,女王和她的私人護衛官迪克·格里芬在一個下午獨自在蘇格蘭皇家城堡巴爾莫勒爾附近的山上散步。
兩位遊客走近他們,並與他們攀談。格里芬回憶道:“有兩個徒步旅行者朝我們走來,女王總是會停下來打招呼。”
“他們是兩個來徒步旅行度假的美國人。”
“從我們停下來的那一刻起,就很明顯他們沒有認出女王,這很正常。”
“那位美國紳士正在告訴女王他們來自哪裡,接下來要去哪裡,以及他們在英國的哪些地方。”
「我預料到了,果然,他問女王陛下:『您住在哪裡?’
“她回答說:’我住在倫敦,但我在山的另一邊有一棟度假屋。’
“他問:’您來這裡多久了?’
“她回答說:’我從小就來這裡,所以有80多年了。’
「你看得出他心跳加速,於是他說:『好吧,如果你來這裡80多年了,你肯定見過女王。’
“她迅速回答說:’我沒有,但這位迪克經常和她見面。’
徒步旅行者隨後問格里芬女王本人怎麼樣。
「因為我和她在一起很久了,我知道我可以開她的玩笑,所以我說:『哦,她有時脾氣很暴躁,但她的幽默感很有意思。’
“接下來,我知道,一個傢伙走過來,摟著我的肩膀,我還來不及看清發生了什麼,他就拿出相機遞給女王,說:‘你能給我們倆拍張照嗎?’
「然後我們交換了位置,我和女王一起拍了一張合照。
「我們毫不掩飾,揮手告別。
“之後,女王陛下對我說:‘當他把這些照片展示給他在美國的朋友們看的時候,我希望我能偷偷地看到,希望有人能告訴他我是誰。’”



A funny and true story about the Queen:
Around 2005, the Queen and her Personal Protection Officer, Dick Griffin, were walking alone one afternoon in the hills near the Scottish royal castle, Balmoral.
Two tourists approached them, and engaged in conversation. Griffin recalls:
"There were two hikers coming towards us, and the Queen would always stop and say hello.
"They were two Americans on a walking holiday.
"It was clear from the moment we stopped that they hadn't recognised the Queen, which was fine.
"The American gentleman was telling the Queen where they came from, where they were going next, and where they'd been in Britain.
"I could see it coming, and sure enough, he said to Her Majesty: 'And where do you live?'
"She replied: 'Well I live in London, but I've got a holiday home just the other side of the hills.'
"He said: 'How long have you been coming up here?'
"She replied: 'I've been coming up here ever since I was a little girl, so over 80 years.'
"You could see the cogs whirring, so he said: 'Well, if you've been coming up here for over 80 years, you must have met the Queen.'
"Quick as a flash, she said: 'I haven't, but Dick here meets her regularly.'
The hiker then asked Griffin what the monarch was like in person.
"Because I was with her a long time, and I knew I could pull her leg, I said: 'Oh, she can be very cantankerous at times, but she's got a lovely sense of humour.'
"The next thing I knew, this guy comes round, puts his arm around my shoulder, and before I could see what was happening, he gets his camera, GIVES IT TO THE QUEEN, and says: 'Can you take a picture of the two of us?'
"Then we swapped places, and I TOOK A PICTURE OF THEM WITH THE QUEEN.
"And we never let on, and we waved goodbye.
"Afterwards, Her Majesty said to me: 'I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he shows those photographs to his friends in America, and hopefully someone tells him who I am'."

我沒空想中國、台灣,畢竟,讚嘆都來不及。
此生但願台灣「小而美好」,再見「泱泱大國」.......
我們了解英國太淺薄了,它們或許是另外一等級的時空。他們 (強共同體)和我們 (弱共同體)各有自己的特色與問題:政治、經濟危機;多元宗教為社會問題之一.....




Queen Elizabeth’s faith was deep and well-known. King Charles’s faith is less evident.⁠
Questions have been raised about whether the union of church and state can continue under him, especially as the country becomes more religiously diverse.⁠
In 1994 Prince Charles caused a minor storm by suggesting that he might become “defender of faith” (instead of “defender of the faith”) to reflect Britain’s growing diversity. ⁠
But in his accession speech, King Charles stuck with the definite Protestant article, delighting traditionalists.⁠

昨天看了,心中只想到「泱泱大國」,這是一種累積數百年的風範,與國土面積、軍力強弱沒有絕對關係。
至於中國,最愛把「泱泱大國」「歷史悠久」掛在嘴邊。中國當然有成為「泱泱大國」的條件,少數人也很有風範,但經過共產黨文革和種種政治運動一搞,影響少說及於五代人,離「泱泱大國」還很遠。只要看看現在中國在國力上站起來,但是從鴉片戰爭以來的屈辱感未消,也還在操作這種民族情緒,就知道中國還沒走出來。沒走出來,也就不會是泱泱大國。
然後,我覺得很多東西國情不同,但人心的想法與感受是接近的。葬禮先是在西敏寺,只有少數家人參加,然後移靈溫莎城堡。前者像是家祭,後者是公祭。路上風笛隊伴隨,那聲音讓我想到臺灣送葬行列的嗩吶喧天。
女王國葬禮轉播把英國國力展現無遺。數以萬計的御林軍及倫敦警方展現的精準、紀律、協調、美感,舉世無雙。BBC的取鏡、剪接、攝影,拿下奧斯卡獎完全夠格。教會儀典的莊重、肅穆、嚴整及合乎信仰要求,令人欽羨。王室藉此激勵英國人,有自信及勇氣面對未來。

伊麗莎白二世女王的逝世,讓英國在國家認同感上苦苦掙扎

女王代表英國的人物,她投下了長長的身影。 留下了一個國家,飽受危機並對其在世界上的地位感到不安。
