Britain’s 101-year-old Queen Mother,who died on March 30,was famous for never giving interviews.However,her few publicized comments showed humor,a strong will and love for life.In the 1920s,many men wanted to marry lady Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon.She only agreed to marry the future King George Ⅵ when he got down on bended knee for a third time to ask her.But she never forgave her brother Edward Ⅷ for stepping down from the throne (王位) in 1936 to marry divorced (离婚) woman Wallis Simpson.This meant that her shy husband became king.“Those last few days were like sitting on the edge of a volcano,”she said of the crisis.The Queen Mother’s most famous role in British life was to try to boost Londoners’ morale.(鼓舞士气) during the World War Ⅱbombing (轰炸),especially in the hardest-hit East End of London.When Buckingham Palace (白金汉宫) was hit by a bomb in 1940,she said,“I am glad we have been bombed.It makes me feel I can look the East End (people) in the face.”Famously,she refused suggestions that she and her children,the princesses Elizabeth and Margaret,should seek refuge (寻求避难)in Canada until the end of the war.“The children won’t go without me,I won’t leave the king and the king will never go,”she declared.“I should die if I had to leave.”After better times returned,her love of expensive parties and high life continued,well into her old age.Her bank overdraft (透支) reached 4 million pounds.She enjoyed fishing until well into her 80s but once choked (噎住) on a fishbone.After doctors removed the bone,she joked,“After all these years of fishing,the fish are having their revenge (报复).”In the end,she outlived the 20th century with energy and enthusiasm.“I love life,that’s my secret,”she told a friend when she was in her 80s.In a television interview last week,her grandson Prince Charles said,“She saw the funny side of life and we laughed until we cried.”Hundreds of people have signed books of condolence (哀悼) across the country,including former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.“She loved her country and in return her country loved her.”said Prime Minister Tony Blair.
