It reminds me of the very first broadcast I made, in 1940, helped by my sister.

But now, as then, we know, deep down, that it is the right thing to do. 这让我想起了1940年的情景，我在妹妹的帮助下第一次通过广播进行了演讲。那时，我们还是孩子，就在温莎城堡这里，对那些迫于安全而从家园撤离的儿童们讲话。今天，许多人将再一次感受到与挚爱之人分离的痛苦。但是此刻，与那时是一样的，我们深知，这样做是正确的。⑨evacuate [ɪˈvækjueɪt] v.(把人从危险的地方)疏散，转移，撤离;(从危险的地方)撤出，搬出，撤空;排空(胃肠);排泄(粪便)
