今天,久未露面的凯特王妃在一则长达三分钟的视频中,向英国公众传达了一个温馨的消息:她已阶段性战胜癌症,化疗疗程已圆满完成。
此视频一经发布,便迅速占据了英国各大媒体的头条位置。
在这段感人的视频里,42岁的凯特回顾了自确诊癌症以来九个月的经历,用了“扑朔迷离”与“异常艰辛”来形容。可喜的是:她计划在未来数月内,开启王室公务活动。
凯特王妃的视频同时也记录了自己与威廉王子在诺福克与乔治王子、夏洛特公主以及路易王子在乡下度假的情景——一家人或在海滩,或在树林间度过了欢愉的夏日时光。
在视频讲话中,凯特王妃深情地说,
“随着夏日渐行渐远,我深感欣慰地向大家宣布,我的化疗疗程已然圆满结束。对于英国王室而言,过去的九个月无疑充满了严峻考验。As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment. The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family.
众所周知,生活的变故往往在一瞬间,我们不得不学会如何在惊涛骇浪中航行,在未知的道路上探索前行。癌症的征途对于每一位患者及其至亲而言,都是一段充满挑战、令人畏惧且难以预料的旅程。Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown. The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you.
谈及未来几个月的打算,凯特王妃说:“目前,我首要的任务是尽可能地维持无癌状态。尽管化疗已经结束,但康复之路依旧漫长,我仍需日复一日地坚持治疗。尽管如此,我对未来数月内恢复工作及参与更多公共活动抱有期待。” Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes. I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.
凯特王妃在视频的尾声,向那些勇敢面对癌症挑战的患者及其亲属传达了一份真挚的情感讯息,她温情地说道:“向每一位坚守在抗癌旅途中的朋友们——我坚定地与你们并行,我们手挽手。正如光明能驱散黑暗,让我们共同点燃希望之光。” To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright.
在这段精致且充满情感色彩的视频画面中,凯特抬眸凝视着威廉,缓缓将头部轻靠在他的肩头。
王子和王妃相视而笑,互诉衷情,并以温柔的亲吻表达着彼此的爱意。
接下来,威尔士王妃计划参与小部分王室公开活动,其中可能有在白厅举行的年度纪念典礼。然而,据英媒体报道,她将不会随同威廉王子参加11月在开普敦举行的Earthshot奖颁奖盛典,凯特王妃强调了自己希望留在英国,全力以赴地照顾家庭。是啊,2024这一年对威尔士一家来说充满了居多挑战。
