解說詞:She was, remember, just 14, but there was already the fortitude, the clarity and the courage,
記得她當時只有十四歲,卻已經展現出了這樣的剛毅勇敢,行文有條有理。
just as well, because she would need these qualities five years later, when facing the most traumatic and dangerous crisis of her entire life.
不過,她在五年后經歷她一生中最慘痛,最險惡的一次危機時便需要用到這些品質了。
When her Catholic half-sister, Mary, came to the throne, Elizabeth found herself in even deeper trouble.
當她同父異母的姐姐——天主教徒瑪麗登基時,伊麗莎白陷入了更深的危機之中。
In fact, she found herself in the Tower when a Protestant plot to get rid of Mary backfired.
清教徒謀逆之事被鎮壓之后,她便被關進了倫敦塔。
Elizabeth managed to talk herself out of being charged with treason, but she remained under close surveillance.
伊麗莎白設法游說逃脫了叛國罪的指控,但她仍被高度監控著。
Danger only turned to deliverance five years later when Queen Mary died, childless.
這種僵局一直持續了五年,直到瑪麗女王去世,并無子嗣繼位,
So here she was, Elizabeth, under the oak, about to be the Protestant queen.
于是便成就了伊麗莎白坐在橡樹下即將成為推行新教的女王,當時的她剛擺脫了人身威脅。
