Among the many moving images from last weekend’s ceremonies marking the centenary of the end of the first world war was that of Frank-Walter Steinmeier laying a poppy wreath at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. It was the first time a German head of state had taken part in the annual commemoration and was a touching act of reconciliation, complementing the poignant embrace between Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel in Compiègne, where the Armistice was signed.
在上周末紀念一戰結束一百周年的儀式上有許多令人感動的畫面,弗蘭克-瓦爾特?施泰因邁爾(Frank-Walter Steinmeier)向白廳和平紀念碑敬獻罌粟花圈就是其中之一。這是德國國家元首第一次參加這個一年一度的紀念活動,也是一次觸動人心的和解之舉,是對埃馬紐埃爾?馬克龍(Emmanuel Macron)和安格拉?默克爾(Angela Merkel)在停戰協議簽署地貢比涅(Compiègne)相互擁抱的感人一幕的補充。
