Hollywood star Nicole Kidman was presented with Australia's top civil honor on Friday for her work on the big screen, as well as her efforts to promote women's health. 好莱坞影星妮可·基德曼因为电影业和女性健康运动所做的贡献，于周五（13日）获得了澳大利亚政府授予平民的最高荣誉勋衔。
She was awarded the Companion of the Order of Australia at Government House in Canberra, the country's highest honor, which is given to citizens for their 'eminent achievement and merit of the highest degree in service to Australia or humanity at large.' 她在堪培拉政府办公厅接受了“澳大利亚勋章”，这也是该国的最高荣誉勋衔，以表彰对澳大利亚和国际人道主义事业有着杰出成就和贡献的公民。
Kidman was presented the honor - the equivalent to an English knighthood - in her homeland by Governor-General Michael Jeffrey, who praised her promotion of women and children's health and cancer research. She gushes, \"It's a pat on the back, which as a little girl is something you dream of.\" 基德曼在本国接受了澳大利亚总督迈克·杰弗里授予的这项荣誉（相当与英国骑士的荣誉），他称赞了她在妇女儿童健康和癌症研究方面的贡献。妮可激动地说“这个勋衔是极大的鼓励及赞赏，就像是小女孩梦寐以求的东西。”

eminent: a. 显赫的,杰出的,有名的
