[ti:苏格兰女王chaper2] [ar:] [al:] [00:17.16]chapter 2 Franch [00:23.03]Dear James. Very soon I am going to die, and meet my God. [00:32.86]Before I die,I want to write the true story of my life for you. [00:41.54]Everything that I writehere is true—I cannot lie to you,or to God. [00:52.40]Please believe that, James.It'important to me. [00:58.97]My father died when I was one week old, so I was the Queen of Scots when I was a baby. [01:10.69]At first I lived with my mother in Scotland,and then,when I was five,I went to France. [01:21.40]My mother was French,but she stayed in Scotland,and died there. [01:30.98]I went to France to marry the King of France's son. [01:36.63]His name was Francis, and he was one year younger than me. [01:44.22]In 1559,his father died, so Francis was King. [01:54.00]Then I was Queen of France,and Queen of Scotland too. [02:00.45]I was very happy in France.Francis,my husband,was like a little brother to me. [02:10.30]I think he loved me,bur he was very young,and he was often ill. [02:18.43]And then,in 1560,he died.He was sixteen years old. [02:27.10]When he died I was very unhappy,and my life was very different. [02:35.54]There was a new King and Queen,and I wasn't important in France,any more. [02:43.20]But I was still Queen of Scots,so I came back to Scotland. [02:52.20]When I arrived in Scotland, I was a young girl of eighteen. [02:59.50]My mother was dead, and there was no one there to meet me. [03:05.92]I walked off the ship,and I slept in alittle house near the sea. [03:14.40]Next day,the Scotslords came from Edinburgh. [03:20.00]They were pleased to see me,and for a week everyone was happy. [03:26.70]People smiled at meand sang in the streets.I think everyone liked me. [03:35.54]Then,that Sunday,I went to church. [03:41.05]James, my son,you are a Protestant and I am a Catholic. [03:51.36]You are a good man,and you love God,but your church and my church are enemies. [04:00.80]I was born a Catholic,and I am going to die a Catholic. [04:07.40]I love God,too—I hope you understand that. I'm not going to change now. [04:16.00]That Sunday, people shouted angrily in the streets. [04:21.30]‘Your Majesty,'said the Scots lords‘Scotlandis a Protestant country. [04:28.20]You can't go to a Catholic church here. The Scottish people don't like Catholics.' [04:36.57]‘I'm sorry, my lords,'I said.‘But I am your Queen—no one tells me what to do. [04:46.31]I don't hate Protestants,and I'm not going to kill them. [04:52.15]The people can go to their Protestant churches,and pray to God there. [04:58.42]But I'm going to pray with Catholics, in my church.'   [05:05.10]People were angry because of that.A man called John Knox came to see me. [05:14.21]He was a famous Protestant church man,but I didn't like him. [05:21.61]He was a big,angry man with black clothes. [05:27.10]He hated the Catholic church,and wanted all Catholics to leave Scotland. [05:35.63]To him,the Protestant church was the only true church of God. [05:42.61]He said:‘Your Majesty, you're a young woman,like my daughter. [05:49.40]Women can't understand difficult things like God or the church. [05:55.50]Finda good Protestant husband,girl.Let him rule this country for you.' [06:04.00]I was very angry with this man Knox.I was a Queen,but I was only eighteen. [06:12.40]He didn't talk quietly—he shouted at me. [06:17.18]I cried because of his angry words. [06:21.00]I could not understand him—he talked so much,and he knew so many books. [06:29.10]But I did not go to his church. [06:34.80]He was right about one thing. [06:37.91]Perhaps I could rule Scotland without a man,but I could not have a child without one. [06:46.81]And every Queen needs a son or daughter to come after her. [06:54.00]So I began to look for a husband.
