These were days I will always treasure. It was as if we had been transported back to our childhood when we spent such an enormous amount of time together the two youngest in the family. Fundamentally she had not changed at all from the big sister who mothered me as a baby, fought with me at school and endured those long train journeys between our parents' homes with me at weekends. It is a tribute to her level-headedness and strength that despite the most bizarre-like life imaginable after her childhood, she remained intact, true to herself.
这些日子我会永远珍惜，我现在好像又回到了从前，我俩一起生活很多年的日子，我和她是家里最小的两个孩子。她基本上同小时候我心目中的姐姐一样，待我像母亲对待婴孩般慈爱。在学校里和我一起打架，忍受周末与我一同度过往返双亲各自家中的漫长的火车旅行。在童年以后，即便身处复杂奇怪的环境，她总保持完整和自己的真实，这要归功于她冷静的头脑和内心的力量。
There is no doubt that she was looking for a new direction in her life at this time. She talked endlessly of getting 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.
毫无疑问，她一直在找寻一个新生活方向。她不时说起要离开英国，主要是受不了报纸对她的围攻。我想她始终不明白为什么她的真诚善意会被传媒扭曲嘲弄，为什么周围总有一股永远要把她拉倒的代表传媒的势力，这些确实令人难以理解。
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 remember that of all the ironies about Diana, perhaps the greatest is this: a girl given the name of the ancient goddess of hunting was, in the end, the most hunted person of the modern age. She would want us today to pledge ourselves to protecting her beloved boys Williams 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 depair.
我自己唯一的解释，就是真正的善与美对那些位于道德光谱另一端的人来说，是一种威胁。但是，在一切有关戴安娜的嘲讽中，也许最大的讽刺是：一个女孩子，她的名字是古代狩猎女神（Diana），自己最后却成为现代社会最受围剿的一个人。她想要我们今天誓言保护她钟爱的孩子威廉和哈里，免遭相同的命运。戴安娜，我在这里代表你起拆誓，我们决不会让他们遭受那种常常把你逼到绝望落泪的苦难。
