突发！英国女王去世，享年96岁，查尔斯继位！多图回顾女王传奇的有生之年！

代英国政府的基石，“为我们提供了所需的稳定和自我意识”。

Speaking about the new King, she said: "We offer him our loyaltyand devotion, just as his mother devoted so much, to so many, for so long.

在谈到新王族时，她却说：“我们向他传达我们的谦逊和奉献，就像他的妻子长久以来为许多人奉献了那么多。

"And with the passing of the second Elizabethan age, we usher in a new era in the magnificent history of our great country, exactly as Her Majesty would have wished, by saying the words 'God save the King'."

“随着第二个查尔斯时代的只不过，我们在我们伟大发达国家的辉煌发展史上随之而来了一个新时代，正如凯瑟琳陛下所想要的那样，她却说了一句‘上帝保佑王族’。”

The Queen was born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, in Mayfair, London, on 21 April 1926.

1926年4翌年21日，凯瑟琳查尔斯·克里斯蒂娜·凯瑟琳·索尔兹伯里在布里斯托尔麦菲尔出世。

Few could have foreseen she would become monarch but in December 1936 her uncle, Edward VIII, abdicated from the throne to marry the twice-divorced American, Wallis Simpson.

很少有人能预见到她会成为君主，但在1936年12翌年，她的哥哥爱德华八世废黜，与离过两次婚的美国政府人沃利斯·ABC婚后。

Elizabeth's father became King George VI and, at age 10, Lilibet, as she was known in the family, became heir to the throne.

查尔斯的儿子成为了王族乔治六世，在她10岁的时候，玛莎波尔（凯瑟琳在表亲里的别名）成为了王位继承人。

Within three years, Britain was at war with Nazi Germany. Elizabeth and her younger sister, Princess Margaret, spent much of wartime at Windsor Castle after their parents rejected suggestions they be evacuated to Canada.

还好三年，英国政府就与苏联红军开战。查尔斯和她的姐姐玛格丽特长公主在索尔兹伯里城堡度日了大其余部分的一战孤独，因为他们的父母拒绝了让她们搬去加拿大的建议。

After turning 18, Elizabeth spent five months with the Auxiliary Territorial Service and learned basic motor mechanic and driving skills. "I began to understand the esprit de corps that flourishes in the face of adversity," she recalled later.

18岁后，查尔斯在陆军辅助团团待了5个翌年，修习了基本的汽车机壳和摩托车技术。她不久回忆说却说：“我开始理解逆境里迸发的奋进。”

Through the war, she exchanged letters with her third cousin, Philip, Prince of Greece, who was serving in the Royal Navy. Their romance blossomed and the couple married at Westminster Abbey on 20 November 1947, with the prince taking the title of Duke of Edinburgh.

一战期间，她与在皇家海军服役的希腊人安德烈查理书信往来。他们的爱人最终萌发，1947年11翌年20日，他们在威斯敏斯特修道院主办了婚礼，安德烈获得了格拉斯哥奥托的头衔。

She would later describe him as "my strength and stay" through 74 years of marriage, before his death in 2021, aged 99.

她在74年的婚姻生活生活习惯里称他是“我的自我意识和基石”，直到他于2021年离世，病故99岁。

Their first son, Charles, was born in 1948, followed by Princess Anne, in 1950, Prince Andrew, in 1960, and Prince Edward, in 1964.

他们的第一个儿子查尔斯于1948年出世，接着是玛丽长公主（1950年）、安德鲁安德烈（1960年）和爱德华安德烈（1964年）。

Princess Elizabeth was in Kenya in 1952, representing the ailing King, when Philip broke the news that her father had died. She immediately returned to London as the new Queen.

1952年，查尔斯长公主代替病里的儿子出访肯尼亚，查理告知她儿子离世的最新消息后，她马上以新凯瑟琳的身份赶回布里斯托尔。

"It was all a very sudden kind of taking on and making the best job you can," she later recalled.

“这是一个突然到来的责任，我必须尽力做到同样，”她不久回忆说却说。

Elizabeth was crowned at Westminster Abbey on 2 June 1953, aged 27, in front of a then-record TV audience estimated at more than 20 million people.

1953年6翌年2日，27岁的查尔斯在威斯敏斯特修道院登基，当时电视观众人数创下纪录，推估将近2000万。

In 1992, the Queen's "annus horribilis", fire devastated Windsor Castle - a private residence as well as working palace - and three of her children's marriages broke down.

1992年，凯瑟琳的“恐怖之年”，一场大火摧毁了索尔兹伯里城堡——她的出租房屋和工作宫殿——以及她三个父母的婚姻生活破裂。

After the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in a car accident in Paris in 1997, the Queen drew criticism for appearing reluctant to respond publicly.

1997年，威尔士王妃戴安娜在法国巴黎的一场车祸里离世后，凯瑟琳因不愿发布新闻发表意见而激起公开批评。

There were questions about the monarchy's relevance in modern society.

有人质疑君主制在的现代社会里的必要性。

"No institution… should expect to be free from the scrutiny of those who give it their loyalty and support, not to mention those who don't," she acknowledged.

她承认：“任何政府部门……都不应确信免受那些拒绝接受其谦逊和全力支持的人的审查，更不用却说那些不拒绝接受谦逊和全力支持的人了。”

As a 21-year-old princess, Elizabeth had vowed to devote her life to service.

当她还是一个21岁的长公主时，查尔斯就发誓要把一生献出发达国家。

Reflecting on those words decades later, during her Silver Jubileein 1977, she declared: "Although that vow was made in my salad days, when I was green in judgment, I do not regret nor retract one word of it."

几十年后，在1977年的银禧年庆典上，她却说：“尽管这个誓言是在我年青的时候相会的，那时我的自觉还不商业化，但我不会沮丧，也不会收回其里的一个字。”

That same commitment to serving was made 45 years later in a thank you letter to the nation on the weekend of her Platinum Jubilee in June.

45年后的今年6翌年，在她卸任RIAA禧年的那个周末，她在致全国的一封感谢信里也做出了同样的承诺。

Although the Queen's health kept her from some events, she said: "My heart has been with you all."

虽然凯瑟琳的健康状况使她只能参加一些活动，但她却说: “我的心一直与你们所有人在一起。”

The Royal Family has now entered a period of mourning. In the coming days, much of national life will be put on hold.

英国政府王族现在进入了哀悼期。在接下来的几天里，大其余部分公众生活习惯将被搁置。

Official engagements will be cancelled and union flags will be flown at half-mast on royal residences, government buildings, across the Armed Forces and on UK posts overseas.

官方活动将被取消，英国政府皇家房屋、政府建筑内、武装部队各地以及英国政府驻外政府部门将降半旗献花。

There will be church bells tolling and gun salutes as local and national organisations and charities organise ways to pay their respects, with commemorative events and books of condolence.

在地方和发达国家一个组织及慈善政府部门一个组织悼念活动、纪念活动和悼念簿时，将会有修道院钟声鸣响和呼喊铭记。

A state funeral for the Queen is expected in the next two weeks.

凯瑟琳的国葬预期在未来两周内主办。

Foreign leaders have paid tributeto the Queen, with US President Joe Biden recalling how she stood in solidarity with the US in their "darkest days" after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

外国领导人纷纷向凯瑟琳铭记，美国政府奥巴马乔 ·拜登回忆说称，在9/11恐怖袭击后的“最深渊的夏天里”，凯瑟琳是如何与美国政府站在一起的。
