An emotional day of events commemorating the success of the D-Day landings in northern France in 1944 has ended with a banquet for 19 visiting heads of state at the Elysee Palace in Paris. Queen Elizabeth said the deeds of the allied forces would be remembered for hundreds of years.
为纪念1944年在法国北部的诺曼底登陆成功，巴黎爱丽舍宫举行晚宴招待19位来访的国家元首。伊丽莎白女王称盟军的事迹将流传数百年。

The true measure of all our actions is how long the good in them lasts. Each year has compounded in the Europe for the benefits of our victory in the second world war since it enabled our subsequent successes and our achievements. Seeing in that light, those heroic deeds will stand out as much in 700 years as they do after 70. In an age of instant news and instantaneous judgment, it reminds us we should weigh our actions not by immediate acclaim but by the benefit for future generations.
衡量我们所有行动的标准是其中的善行能持续多久，自从诺曼底登陆让我们取得一个又一个成功和成就以来，每年在欧洲我们都能感受到胜利的益处。从这个角度来看，这些英勇事迹将像70年后的今年一样流传700年。在这个充斥着即时新闻和瞬时判断的时代，它提醒我们在衡量我们的行为时，不要凭其产生的即时益处，而是注重对后代人的利益。

Earlier, at a ceremony in Normandy, President Francois Hollande called for the beaches where the landings took place to be preserved as UNESCO world heritage site. Mr. Hollande paid tribute to the bravery and selflessness of those who fought to liberate France from Nazi occupation.
早些时候，在诺曼底举行的仪式上，总统弗朗索瓦•奥朗德提出将登陆发生地列入联合国教科文世界遗产地。奥朗德向那些将法国从纳粹占领下解放出来的英勇无私的战士们致敬。

These young men in the middle of this hell of fire and steel did not hesitate for a second. They move forward, move forward on French soil defying bullets and shells. They move forward risking their lives, to destroy a diabolical regime. They move forward to defend a noble course. They move forward, kept moving forward to free us to free us at last.
这些年轻的战士们在战火和铁蹄下没有丝毫的犹豫，他们奋勇向前，不顾子弹和炮火，奋勇向法国土壤迈进。他们冒着生命危险前进，去摧毁那个邪恶的政权。他们为了高贵的事业向前迈进，他们一直前进，直到最终将我们解放为止。

On the eve of his inauguration, the newly elected Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko has met President Putin during brief and formal talks on the sidelines of the D-Day commemorations. The Russian leader called for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine. This report from James Robins.
在乌克兰新当选总统佩特罗•波罗申科宣誓就职之前，他在诺曼底登陆日纪念仪式期间与普京总统进行了简短而正式的会谈。这位俄罗斯领袖呼吁乌克兰立即停火，詹姆斯•鲁本斯报道。

Chancellor Merkel shepherded the 2 leaders. They shook hands and talked for about a quarter of an hour just before the lunch for world leaders. French officials said a potential ceasefire between Ukrainian government forces and pro-Russian separatists were discussed. President Putin's spokesman said the two men had called for the earliest possible end to bloodshed and to military operations on both sides. Agreeing the terms could still be very hard, but the fact President Putin has all but accepted the legitimacy of Ukraine's new president by meeting him is seen by other leaders as highly significant. D-Day 2014 has certainly lodged a dialogue about ending present day efforts to redraw the map of Europe.
默克尔总理将这两位领导人拉在一起，在世界领导人午餐之前，他们握手并交谈了15分钟左右。法国官方称双方讨论了乌克兰政府军和亲俄分裂分子可能会进行的停火事宜。普京总统的发言人称两人都呼吁尽快停止血腥暴力和双方的军事行动。对这些都达成一致将会很难，但普京总统会见了乌克兰新总统，几乎算是承认了其合法性，这一点具有重大意义。诺曼底登陆2014提出结束目前的行动来重画欧洲地图的对话。
