In this year's Queen's Speech at the state opening of the Westminster Parliament in June, Her Majesty said her government would proceed with plans to enhance the financial powers of the Scottish Parliament and would continue to "make the case for Scotland to remain a part of the United Kingdom". 今年6月，女王参加国会开幕大典时表示她的政府将计划加强苏格兰议会的财政权利，并将继续支持“苏格兰留在联合王国内”。 Though the speech is delivered by the Queen, the content is written by the UK government of the day. 尽管此次讲话由女王宣读，但讲话内容是由当时的英国政府起草的。 However, there is a precedent for the Queen commenting on a major issue that has constitutional implications. 尽管如此，女王在对涉及英国政体的主要问题上发表意见，并非毫无先例。 In 1977, on the occasion of her Silver Jubilee, she informed both Houses of Parliament: "I cannot forget that I was crowned Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland." 1977年，女王在自己的银婚庆典上告诉两院议员：“我不会忘记，我所加冕的称号是大不列颠和北爱尔兰联合王国女王。” The comments were widely interpreted as a royal rebuff to proposals for devolution to Scotland which foundered in 1979. 这被广泛认为是皇室对苏格兰分权提案的断然拒绝。该提案于1979年被否决。 |
