凯特王妃演讲稿

Thank you Catherine for that kind introduction. I was delighted when I was asked to help open today's conference. 谢谢你，凯瑟琳。当我被要求参与今天的会议时，我很高兴。 I want to start by saying a big thank you to all of the head teachers here today. I know how much is asked of you. 我想先说一句，谢谢你对今天所有的校长。我知道你们被。 The fact that you are all committing your valuable time to support Place2Be, and prioritise the mental health of your students is something that all parents should be grateful for. 事实上，你们都在支持place2be你宝贵的时间，并将你的学生的心理健康是所有的父母都应该感谢。 I often get asked why I decided to spend time highlighting the mental health of children. I imagine my answer might be similar to many of yours. 我经常被问及为什么要这么强调儿童心理健康，我觉得我的答案跟你们的差不多。我很幸运，我的父母和老师为我营造了一个完美的、安全的童年，从小我就是在他们的宠爱、尊重、倾听下成长的。 I know that I was lucky. My parents and teachers provided me with a wonderful and secure childhood where I always knew I was loved, valued and listened to. 我知道我是幸运的。我的父母和老师为我提供了一个美好而安全的童年，我一直都知道我是被爱着，被重视和聆听的。 But of course many children are not so lucky. Since beginning my work in areas like addiction, for example, I have seen time and time again that the roots of poor mental health in adulthood are almost always present in unresolved childhood challenges. 当然许多小孩子并没有这么幸运。从我工作以来，拿上瘾这个例子来说，我一次又一次看到许多成年人心理问题的根源在于童年时期未曾解决的问题。 I am sure you will agree that all children deserve time, attention and love from the adults in their lives. These basic qualities are so much more valuable than the always changing material and social concerns that can seem so important to young people. 我相信你会同意所有的孩子都应该得到时间，他们的关注和对他们生活的爱。这些基本的品质是如此的宝贵，比总是不断变化的物质和社会问题，对年轻人看起来很重要。 As today's theme reminds us, many children – even those from stable, happy homes – are finding that their heads are just too full. It is our duty, as parents and as teachers, to give all children the space to build their emotional strength and provide a strong foundation for their future. 正如今天的主题提醒我们，许多孩子，甚至那些来自稳定、幸福的家庭，都发现他们的头都太满了。让所有的孩子为他们的情感力量建立他们的情感，为他们的未来提供一个强大的基础，这是我们的责任。 Of course, not all children have the anchor of a strong family. Many will arrive through your school gates feeling a real lack of love and devotion in their lives. This often leaves them feeling insecure and without confidence and trust in the world around them. That is why your wor
