King Harald V of Norway, who has died aged 89, Europe’s oldest serving(在任的，现役的) monarch, was the country’s third king since it regained independence in 1905 following the dissolution(解散，解除) of its union with Sweden. Although he ceased to be head of the Lutheran state church in 2012 and subsequently lost his constitutional status as “holy” six years later, he did exhibit the Scandinavian moderation, stoicism and genial approachability that led a newspaper to name him Norway’s person of the year in 2017.(尽管他不再担任教会领袖并失去“神圣”地位，但他确实展现了斯堪的纳维亚式的品质，因此被报纸评为年度人物。)
挪威国王哈拉尔五世去世，享年89岁，他是欧洲在位时间最长的君主，也是挪威自1905年脱离与瑞典的联盟、重新获得独立以来的第三位国王。尽管他于2012年不再担任路德宗国教会的领袖，并在六年后失去了宪法赋予的“神圣”地位，但他确实展现了斯堪的纳维亚式的节制、坚忍和亲切平易，这促使一家报纸在2017年将他评为挪威年度人物。
The first Norwegian king to be born in the country since 1370, Harald was also related to both the Swedish and the British royal families.(哈拉尔是自1370年以来首位在挪威出生的国王，也与瑞典和英国王室有亲属关系。) His parents were Crown Prince Olav, who was king as Olav V between 1957 and 1991, and his wife, Princess Märtha, a member of the Swedish royal dynasty(王朝，朝代). His grandparents were King Haakon VII, the first king of the independent country, who reigned(统治，在位) for 52 years from 1905, and his wife, Queen Maud, daughter of Britain’s Edward VII. The family roots are Danish – from the Glücksburg dynasty(格吕克斯堡王朝，欧洲王室家族) – as were those of the Duke of Edinburgh and the former Greek royal family. The mixed heritage made him sympathetic to refugees: “It is not easy to say where we come from. Home is where the heart is(家是心之所在),” he said.
哈拉尔是自1370年以来首位在挪威本土出生的挪威国王，他与瑞典和英国王室都有亲属关系。他的父母是王储奥拉夫（1957年至1991年间以奥拉夫五世的身份在位）及其妻子玛莎公主，玛莎是瑞典王室成员。他的祖父母是哈康七世国王（独立国家的首位国王，自1905年起在位52年）及其妻子莫德王后，莫德是英国爱德华七世的女儿。家族根源是丹麦的格吕克斯堡王朝，爱丁堡公爵和前希腊王室也是如此。这种混合血统使他同情难民：“很难说我们来自哪里。家是心之所在，”他说。
He was Queen Elizabeth II’s second cousin and a knight(骑士，爵士) of the garter. At the time of his birth, Harald was 16th in line to the British throne, though he had fallen in the rankings to around 80th in more recent years. Confusingly, he was not the fifth Harald to rule his country, but the sixth – the 10th-century Harald Bluetooth(哈拉尔蓝牙，10世纪丹麦国王) generally not being assigned a number in the list of Norwegian kings. The king never attracted a picturesque title as did some of his Viking predecessors – such as Bluetooth, Harald Fairhair and Harald Hardrada, who tried to seize the English throne a few weeks before the Norman invasion in 1066 and was killed at the battle of Stamford Bridge.(这位国王从未像他的一些维京前辈那样获得生动的称号，例如蓝牙、金发哈拉尔和无情者哈拉尔，后者曾试图夺取英国王位但被杀。)
他是英国女王伊丽莎白二世的远房表亲，也是嘉德骑士。在他出生时，哈拉尔是英国王位的第16顺位继承人，尽管近年来他的排名已降至约第80位。令人困惑的是，他并非统治该国的第五位哈拉尔，而是第六位——10世纪的哈拉尔蓝牙通常不被计入挪威国王的编号。这位国王从未像他的一些维京前辈那样获得如“蓝牙”、“金发哈拉尔”和“无情者哈拉尔”等富有诗意的称号，后者曾试图在1066年诺曼入侵前几周夺取英国王位，并在斯坦福桥战役中被杀。
