万花筒 2010-11-14&11-15 英国纪念一战停战日

For another year, our nation stopped to fell silent at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. At the Senate¹ in London, they were remembered. At the National Memorial Arboretum², they were remembered. They were remembered too in Edinburgh. And it would ** of the dead of the World War share the thoughts of those who mourn the death of soldiers, sailors, marines, man and woman, who fall in memorial services.
Employees of Britain stop and observe 2 minutes of silence.
And in Candahiring, southern Afghanistan, where the fighting goes on, they too, stopped to remember those who will fight no more. Wherever they were, whatever they were doing, at 11 o’clock, millions of people put their lives on hold just for 2 minutes to reflect. **Veterans of those who still live.
I think it is necessary for us not to forget that a lot of people died for us, so we could have our freedom.
At the National Arboretum, where the dead were remembered every day, 11th November is special. To stand here and join those two minutes surrounded by all these names of people who gave their lives for our country, is deeply moving. And the most moving thing of all is that, it was so designed that on the 11th of the 11, the sun came out with shine directly to the center. It did, and that was deeply moving.
Being here I have a lot of memory to make, because I have friends and family that are serving in the army. I have known the people who had been lost in army. It is extremely the emotional³ thing for me today.
There is something that would never, ever allow our country, all the world to forget.
Next year, they will remember again. As the country still at war with Afghanistan, there will inevitably⁴ be more dead service men and women in our thoughts.
