他的首场公务活动是在位于克利福德公园举行的青年集会。1973年,他以威尔士亲王身份曾出席该岛的独立庆典。

His first engagement is at a youth rally at Clifford Park where the King attended the island's independence celebrations as Prince of Wales in 1973.

白金汉宫表示,国王在访问期间不会回避“殖民遗产”及奴隶贸易的影响,但将遵循英国政府立场,不对英国在奴隶贸易中的角色道歉。他也不会提出赔偿——即参与奴隶贸易的国家支付的补偿金。

Buckingham Palace says the King will not shy away from "colonial legacy" and the impact of the slave trade during the visit but, in line with the UK government position, he will not apologise for Britain's role in the slave trade. Nor will he offer reparations - compensation from countries that took part in the slave trade.

国王还预计将阐述他长达50年致力于应对气候变化的承诺,强调低洼加勒比岛国面临的挑战,并表示“我们的世界在呼唤治愈”。

The King is also expected to address his 50-year-long commitment to fighting climate change, highlighting the challenges faced by low-lying Caribbean islands, saying that "our world cries out for healing".

他将号召集会上的青年“承担起神圣的任务,发挥你们的作用”,因为“在未来的岁月里,这必将成为衡量每一个人的标准——他们如何回应照顾地球这颗生命、繁荣与安全之源的召唤。”

And he will call on the young people at the rally to "take up the sacred task to play your part" as "in years to come, this will be surely be the measure of every person - how they answered the call to care for planet earth - the source of our life, our prosperity and our security."

白金汉宫表示,国王行程中将在三国安排参观纪念碑及其他反思和纪念场所,以便他有机会反思奴隶贸易的遗产。

Buckingham Palace says opportunities for the King to reflect on the legacy of the slave trade will be built into his schedule in all three countries with visits planned to memorials and other places of reflection and remembrance.

一位宫殿发言人告诉BBC,国王此次访问的行程“将主要聚焦于聚光灯照亮该地区众多现代伙伴关系及未来机遇”,特别是那些“对该地区产生变革性影响”的伙伴关系与机遇。

A spokesperson for the palace tells the BBC that the King's programme on the tour "will primarily focus on shining a light on the many modern partnerships and opportunities for the future", specifically those which are "having a transformative effect on the region".

发言人补充说,对国王而言,此次“访问既是一次新的旅程,也是一生旅程的延续,他在此过程中致力于接触、理解并教育人们关于我们过去最可耻的方面”。白金汉宫表示,这些主题将通过国王为期九天的访问得到体现。

For the King, the spokesperson added, the "tour is both a new journey but also the continuance of a lifelong one, in which he has sought to engage, understand and educate about the most shameful aspects of our past". Those themes will be reflected by the King through the nine-day visit, the palace said.

此次访问是与巴哈马、圭亚那和安提瓜和巴布达政府共同规划的,重点在于缅怀过去,同时也着眼于未来几代人的雄心与可能性。

The visit has been planned alongside the governments of the Bahamas, Guyana and Antigua and Barbuda with an emphasis on honouring the past but also looking forward to the ambition and possibility for future generations.

国王本周晚些时候将前往圭亚那,届时他的活动将聚焦环境与生物多样性。

The King will move to Guyana later this week where his engagements will focus on the environment and biodiversity.

随后他将访问安提瓜和巴布达,届时卡米拉王后将陪同出席英联邦政府首脑会议(CHOGM),并发表作为英联邦领袖的主旨演讲。

He will then visit Antigua and Barbuda, where he will be joined by Queen Camilla, for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) and his keynote speech as leader of the Commonwealth.

英联邦政府首脑会议是一项双年峰会,汇聚56个英联邦国家领导人,旨在应对共同挑战、推进合作。

CHOGM is a biennial summit which brings together leaders of 56 Commonwealth countries to address shared challenges and advance cooperation.
