英國(guó)最有名的國(guó)王和女王是誰(shuí)？講講有關(guān)戴安娜王妃的事
 
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
 
A: And this is Buckingham Palace, home of the Queen of England.
 
這里是白金漢宮，英國(guó)女王的家。
 
B:How long h.as England had a monarchy?
 
英國(guó)君主立憲制的歷史有多長(zhǎng)？
 
B:G For well over a thousand years.
 
有一千多年了。
 
B:Who was the most famous king of England?
 
英國(guó)最有名的國(guó)王是誰(shuí)？
 
A: Perhaps it was Henry VIII who had six wives.
 
也許是那位有6個(gè)妻子的亨利八世
 
B: Why did he have so many wives?
 
他怎么有這么多妻子呢？
 
A:He wanted a son and when none of his wives gave him one he would either divorce them or have them beheaded.
 
他想要個(gè)兒子，當(dāng)沒(méi)有一個(gè)妻子能給他生兒子時(shí)，他要么離婚要么就把她們殺頭。
 
B: Who was the most famous Queen of England?
 
英國(guó)最有名的女王是誰(shuí)？
 
A: I think there are two contenders for that tide. Queen Elizabeth I who never married and was known as the Virgin Queen and Queen Victoria. Both lived for a long time and expanded Britain's trade and colonies overseas.
 
對(duì)于這個(gè)名號(hào)，我想有兩位女王不相上下。一個(gè)是終生未婚被稱為“童貞女王”的伊麗莎白一世另一個(gè)是維多利亞女王，她們兩個(gè)都活了很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，而且還向海外擴(kuò)大了英國(guó)的貿(mào)易和殖民地。
 
B: Is the monarchy popular in England?
 
君主立憲制在英國(guó)受歡迎嗎？
 
A: Yes, I think so. Queen Elizabeth II has ruled for over 50 years and is very popular with her subjects just like her mother who lived to be 101 years old.
 
我認(rèn)為是受歡迎的。伊麗莎白二世統(tǒng)治了50多年，和她那位活了101歲的母親一樣，受到臣民們的擁戴。
 
B: Who win succeed her?
 
將來(lái)誰(shuí)會(huì)繼承她的王位？
 
A: Her eldest son, Prince Charles, who recently married Camilla. His eldest son, Prince William will then succeed him.
 
她的大兒子查爾斯工子，最近娶了卡米拉的那個(gè)。查爾斯王子的人兒子，威廉王子以后也會(huì)繼承他的王位。
 
B: So it's always the eldest son who succeeds?
 
也就是說(shuō)，一直都是長(zhǎng)子繼承王位了？
 
A: Yes, but if there are no sons then it passes to the eldest daughter which is what happened in Queen Elizabeth's case.
 
是的。但如果沒(méi)有兒子，就會(huì)傳位給長(zhǎng)女，伊麗莎白女王就是這樣繼承王位的。
 
B: Can you tell me something about Princess Diana.
 
你可以跟我講講有關(guān)戴安娜王妃的事嗎？
 
A: Well she was certainly the most popular of the royal family in recent years.
 
哦，她的確是近幾年來(lái)王室成員中最受歡迎的人，
 
B: I know she did a lot of charitable work but it was really tragic that she died to young.
 
我知道她做了很多慈善工作，但她那么年輕就去世的確是個(gè)悲劇。
 
A: Yes. I remember that day and the national outpouring of grief that followed. I think everyone in the UK was glued to their seats watching the funeral on TV and there wasn't a dry eye in the whole of the country.
 
是的。我記得，那天全國(guó)上下部沉浸在悲痛之中。我想所有的英國(guó)人都端坐在椅子上一刻不離地觀看電視上直播的葬禮，沒(méi)有一個(gè)不落淚的。
 
B: I think that Prince William is very handsome and I would love him to be king one day.I think he would make a better king than his father.
 
我認(rèn)為威廉王子長(zhǎng)得很英俊，我希望他將來(lái)某一天能夠做國(guó)王。我想他會(huì)成為一個(gè)比他父親更好的國(guó)王。
 
A:I think most people think that but he will have to wait until his father dies just as Charles has to wait until his mother dies.
 
我想大多數(shù)人也是這樣認(rèn)為的。不過(guò)他得等到他的父親去世后才能繼承王位，就像他父親也得等到他的母親去世后一樣。
