Kendi Kendine İngilizce (Learn English On Your Own), The Crown Episode 7 Part 10

587

Prime Minister.

588

Please.

589

The Prime Minister, Your Majesty.

590

Your Majesty.

591

Winston.

592

I am just a young woman,

starting out [A1] in public service.

593

And I would never presume[A2] 

to give a man, so much my senior,

594

and who has given this country so much,

a lecture.

595

However...

596

you were at my Coronation.

597

I was.

598

And you therefore heard for yourself

as I took the solemn oath[A3] 

599

to govern the people of my realms

600

according to their respective[A4]  laws

and customs[A5] 

601

Now, one of those customs

is that their elected Prime Minister

602

should be of reasonably[A6]  sound

body and mind[A7] .

603

Not an outrageous [A8] expectation,

one would've thought.

604

No.

605

But it seems that you have not

606

been of sound body and mind

these past weeks.

607

And that you chose to withhold[A9] 

that information from me.

608

A decision which feels like a betrayal,

not just of the covenant[A10]  of trust

609

between us and the institutions

that we both represent,

610

but of our own personal relationship.

611

In 1867, Walter Bagehot [A11] wrote:

612

"There are two elements

of the Constitution:

613

the efficient[A12]  and the dignified[A13] ."

614

The monarch is the dignified

and the government, the efficient.

615

These two institutions only work

616

when they support each other,

617

when they trust one another.

618

Your actions, your breaking of that trust

619

was irresponsible and it might have had

serious ramifications[A14] 

620

for the security of this country.

621

Is your health better now?

622

-It is.

-Good.

623

But is it sufficiently better?

624

Fit[A15]  for office better?

625

I would ask you to consider your response

626

in light of the respect

that my rank[A16]  and my office deserve,

627

not that which my age and gender

might suggest.

628

Ma'am...

629

I look at you now and I realize

630

that the time is fast approaching

for me to step down.

631

Not because I am unwell[A17] 

or unfit for office,

632

but because you are ready.

633

And therefore

I have discharge[A18] d my duty to your father.

634

With your blessing and your forgiveness,

635

I shall continue to serve as the leader

of Your Majesty's government.

636

Your Majesty.

637

 [Philip singing indistinctly]

638

Hello?

639

Hello.

640

Where have you been?

641

Oh, charity[A19]  cricket match for

the National Playing Fields Association.

642

Spent some time at the airfield,

doing some rolls.

643

No cabinet approval. Don't tell anyone.

644

What are you dressed for?

645

Haven't you heard?

We've a State banquet this evening.

646

Haven't you heard? It's been cancelled.

647

Oh, Christ,

why doesn't anybody tell me anything?

648

Well, perhaps if you were here more.

649

I've read two books on Eisenhower

especially.

650

-Have you really?

-No.

651

You look nice.

652

-Do I?

-Something's different.

653

-What?

-I don't know. You seem...

654

I advise you to choose your next words

very carefully.

655

Taller, somehow.

Or is it just that I've shrunk[A20] ?

656

There's nothing shrunken[A21]  about you,

dearest.

657

Where are you going?

658
I've got an appointment

with my new Private Secretary.

659

-Oh, God. Tell him to bugger off.

-I can't do that.

660

And do what instead?

661

Two options:

662

either I get some stilt[A22] s so I can reach

the heights of my new, tall woman...

663

Or?

664

Or...

665

she could get on her knees[A23] .

666

Major Adeane, Her Majesty requests

that your appointment might wait.

667

-I see.

-Until tomorrow.
