Mary, Queen of Scots was the Queen of Scotland from 14th December 1542 until 24thJuly 1567.
玛丽，苏格兰女王从1542年12月14日到1567年7月24日是苏格兰的女王。
Mary was the only surviving legitimate child of King James V of Scotland.
玛丽是苏格兰詹姆斯五世国王唯一的合法幸存子女.
Mary was only 6 days old when her father died and she immediately became the Queen of Scotland.
玛丽才6天大就去世了她的父亲，她立刻成为了苏格兰女王。
She was obviously too young to rule the country so regents and her mother initially ruled Scotland on her behalf.
她显然太年轻了，无法统治国家，所以摄政和她的母亲最初代表她统治苏格兰。
Scotland was a weak country and it was afraid that England going to invade.
苏格兰是个弱国，它害怕英格兰会入侵。
Mary was therefore betrothed to the French Dauphin as part of a Scottish – French alliance when Mary was only 6 years old and she was sent to live in France.
于是玛丽在仅仅6岁的时候就被许配给法国王储，作为苏格兰和法国联盟的一部分，她被送到法国生活。
Mary eventually married the French Dauphin in 1558 who, at that time, had become the King of France.
玛丽最后在1558年嫁给了法国王储。
However, her husband died 2 years only after their marriage and so Mary returned to Scotland.
不过，她的丈夫在他们结婚仅两年后去世了，所以玛丽回到了苏格兰。
At that time, Scotland was in turmoil but Mary turned out to be a pragmatic and tolerant ruler.
那时，苏格兰正处于动荡中，但玛丽却是一位务实而宽容的统治者。
In 1565, Mary married her half-cousin, Lord Darnley, and they had a son together called James.
1565年，玛丽嫁了她的表亲达尔利勋爵，他们有了一个叫詹姆斯的儿子。
However, Mary’s marriage to Lord Darnley soured when she suspected him of organising the murder of one of her close friends.
然而，当玛丽怀疑达恩利勋爵策划谋杀她的一位密友时，她的婚姻变得不愉快。
Lord Darnley was later killed when a bomb exploded at a house where he was staying, and Mary was implicated in his murder.
达恩利勋爵后来在他住的房子里一枚炸弹爆炸时被杀，而玛丽也牵涉到他的谋杀案。
People’s suspicions grew stronger when Mary subsequently married the main suspect in Lord Darnley’s assassination.
人们的怀疑越来越强烈，因为玛丽随后嫁给了罗德·达恩利被刺杀的主要嫌疑犯。
This incident meant that she lost the support of the Scottish people and eventually she was forced to abdicate in favour of her 1 year old son, James.
这件事让她失去了苏格兰人民的支持，最后她不得不让位给她一岁的儿子詹姆斯。
After a failed attempt to seize back the throne, Mary fled to England to seek protection from Queen Elizabeth I of England.
在一次夺回王位的失败尝试后，玛丽逃往英格兰寻求伊丽莎白一世女王的保护。
Mary had previously claimed the English throne belonged to her, so Mary did not received a warm reception.

Mary was imprisoned in various castles and manor houses across England for more than 18 years.
玛丽在英格兰的各种城堡和庄园里被囚禁了超过18年。
Although she was a prisoner she nevertheless lived a life of luxury.
虽然她是囚犯，但她依然过着奢华的生活。
She had at least 16 servants and ate off silver plates.
她至少有16个仆人，吃的是银盘子。
Mary refused to recognise the legitimacy of Elizabeth I as the Queen of England so Elizabeth considered Mary a constant threat.

1586年，玛丽被指控策划刺杀伊丽莎白一世。
She was found guilty and was beheaded the following year.
她被判有罪，并在第二年处以斩首。
In a sense, Mary actually won, as her son James VI of Scotland eventually became James I of England after Elizabeth I’s death in 1603.
在某种意义上，玛丽实际上是赢了，因为她的儿子苏格兰的詹姆斯六世最终在伊丽莎白一世于1603年去世后成为了英格兰的詹姆斯一世。
