Wallis是什么意思lis在线翻译读音例句

你想当国王、想拥有荣华富贵、名闻天下吗？你希望无论走到哪

里都成为众人的中心吗？你希望自己每时每刻、每一天都是人们关注

的对象吗？

国王永远不会独自一人。每时每刻总有人注视着他——有时是他

的保镖，有时是街上成千的民众。他永远不会独自一人；每个人都认

识他的面孔。他做事必须检点，因为他的所做所为是无法保密的。

国王今天说了什么，明天全世界的人都会知道。他说话得谨慎；

因为总有人在听。

这可不像一般的工作那样，5点钟就可以下班。国王没有假期。

国王永远是国王——每时每刻都是国王。

国王永远不会独自一人，但他总是感到孤独。谁会是国王的朋友

呢？谁会与他共同分担那份孤独呢？

6国王逝世！国王万岁！

1936年1月，爱德华去温莎小住几个星期。他厌倦了城市生活，

只想侍弄侍弄自己的花园，骑骑马。

然而，一天下午，王后玛丽打来电话。“爱德华，”她说，“你

必须马上赶回来。你父亲病得很厉害，我想他快不行了。”

爱德华一赶到，便径直去了父亲的房间。他走到床边，吻了吻父

亲苍白的脸。国王睁开眼睛，微微一笑。他拉住儿子的手，说：“做

个出色的国王，爱德华。要好好待你的母亲。”

“是，父亲，我会的。”

国王闭上眼睛，再没说什么。午夜刚过，他就去世了。

玛丽王后握住爱德华的手，吻了吻。“我的孩子，现在你是国王

了。”她温柔地说，“愿上帝与你同在。”

他的3个弟弟先后走过来，吻了他的手。“国王逝世了，国王万

岁！”他们说。

1点钟，爱德华离开父亲的房间，去给沃利斯打电话。“我父亲

去世了。”他说。

“我很难过，殿下。”

“我必须在这儿待一段时间，”爱德华接着说，“但周末我会给

你打电话的。什么也不能改变你我之间的事。我比任何时候都更爱你，

你将成为我的王后。”

“现在我们还是不要谈这些，”沃利斯回答，“你必须回到你的

家庭里。”

“可你就是我的家庭啊，沃利斯。对我而言，你就是一切。晚安。

睡个好觉。”

那天晚上，沃利斯放下电话时，突然觉得很害怕。“爱德华现在

是国王了，”她想，“但我会怎样呢？”
