NBC晚间新闻 英国百岁老兵获封爵士（在线收听）

Captain Thomas Moore had to walk a long way, 100 laps to be exact, to finally meet the Queen. And today this national hero and world war II veteran became a knight in a private socially distant ceremony at Windsor Castle. The Queen could be heard congratulating the captain, even commenting on his age. The Queen herself 94 years old seemed to have left captain Moore starstruck. I never ever did i imagine that i should get so close to the Queen and have such a kind message from her.

That was really outstanding. It all started with a modest goal, raise a thousand pounds to help britain's health system fight coronavirus by doing a hundred laps around his back garden before his hundredth birthday in april. Captain Moore raising a staggering 40 million dollars to fight a disease that's already taken more than 45 thousand lives in the UK. But from now on Captain Tom will be Sir Tom. No one could ever believe that in that time this will come to me.

托马斯·摩尔上校要走很长一段路，准确地说要走100圈才能见到女王。今天，这位民族英雄和二战老兵在温莎城堡的一个保持社交距离的私人仪式上成为了一名骑士。可以听到女王恭喜了这位上校，她甚至还评论了他的年龄。94岁的女王似乎让摩尔上校成了追星族。我从来没有想过我会如此接近女王，并从她那里收到如此友好的消息。那真的很棒。这一切始于一个小目标，即在四月份他一百岁生日之前，通过绕自己的后花园走一百圈，来筹集1000英镑帮助英国卫生系统抗击冠状病毒。摩尔上校筹集了惊人的4000万美元来对抗一种已经夺去了英国4.5万多人生命的疾病。但从现在起，汤姆上校将成为汤姆爵士。那个时候没有人相信，这件事会发生在我身上。
