生活中的英國女王是什麼樣

一說到英國女王，就會有種萬人之上、端莊、嚴厲的感覺，常常讓人遇到她格外的緊張。就像女王的紀錄片裏哈里王子所說的那樣，有的人民看到她直接暈了過去。其實現實生活中的她也充滿了幽默感。非常的和藹甚至有些可愛!下面是小編爲您收集整理的生活中的英國女王是什麼樣，供大家參考!

I once had lunch with The Queen (OK, along with about 100 other people in a large room). There’s an etiquette that people should stop eating when The Queen stops. She is known to take care that she keeps the food going round on her plate until everyone’s had a proper opportunity to eat. After lunch, she made a point to meet up with and thank all of the waiting staff and those who had cooked the lunch. So, from that experience, she does seem mindful of others and appreciative of those who work hard at such events.

我曾經和女王一起用過餐(好吧，其實是和100人左右在一個大房間裏一起用餐)。有一條規矩就是女王停下的時候所有人都得停下。衆所周知女王很照顧別人，菜會在桌上轉一圈確保大家都能吃到。吃完午飯她提出要見見並感謝所有服務人員和後廚人員。所以從這次經歷中就能看出她心裏惦記着別人，還會對在這種場合辛苦工作的人表達感激。

I live not far from Balmoral Castle, which is the Queen’s private residence in the Scottish Highlands.

我住的地方離巴爾莫拉城堡不遠，那裏是女王在蘇格蘭高地的私人府邸。

What we find is that the Queen is a courteous, hard working “wee wifie” who is a good neighbour and treats others with decency. She uses local suppliers, she always supports the Braemar Highland Gathering, attends the local “Kirk” (Church of Scotland), and she lets young people go for “Duke of Edinburgh” expeditions on the estate. That makes her part of the local community, which is quite protective of her and respects her privacy.

我們發現女王是一個彬彬有禮而且很勤勞的“小女人”，她是一個很好的鄰居，待人和氣。她用的是當地的供貨商，很支持蘇格蘭高地運動會，還會去當地的蘇格蘭教堂，她讓年輕人參加莊園的“愛丁堡公爵獎”的遠足活動。這些使她融入了當地的社會，給了她很好的保護，同時還很尊重她的隱私。

However, my favourite tale is this. The Royals sometimes travel about the local area with minimal fuss. She stopped her Landrover for a picnic on a track some distance from the road. There isn’t a lot of passing traffic, but on this occasion a family of walkers came upon but didn’t recognise her. On a “day off”, she looks much the same as the other local elderly ladies in her tweeds and waxed jackets.

然而我最喜歡的是這個故事，皇室在當地出行總是很低調，她會在離大路有一段距離的小路停下路虎野餐。周圍沒有什麼車經過，但那次有一家人出來散步遇到她了但沒認出來。休息日的時候，她的裝扮也和其他當地老婦人差不多，穿着花呢衣服和上蠟的短風衣。

“Goodness!”, said the mother, “you look just like that lady on the stamps”.

那家人裏的媽媽說：“天啊!你長得真像郵票上的女王。”

“So I’ve been told”, said the Queen with a kindly smile as she continued to sip tea from her Thermos flask.

女王帶着溫和的微笑抿一口保溫瓶裏的茶說：“別人也都這樣說。”

There was a nice little story which emerged some years ago, when Prince William was a very little boy, I think about two or three years old. He had apparently been playing in Buckingham Palace, had fallen down and hurt himself, and was crying inconsolably. He was immediately surrounded by concerned maids and other household staff trying to comfort him, but he didn’t want any of them, only Gary.

有一個發生在幾年前的很暖心的小故事，當時威廉王子還很小，我想也就兩三歲吧，他當時似乎正在白金漢宮裏玩，突然摔倒受傷了，嚎啕大哭起來。憂心忡忡的侍女和其他家人馬上圍過來努力地安慰他，但他誰都不要，只要Gary。

Nobody was sure who Gary was - possibly one of the footmen? - but then a voice was heard, saying, “Let me through, please. I’m Gary.” And they made way for the Queen, because ‘Granny’ can be quite hard for a little boy to say!

誰都不知道Gary是誰，大家猜測可能是個男僕，但突然有個聲音傳來：“請讓我過去，我就是Gary。”大家都給女王讓路，原來是小孩子太小，說不清楚“Granny(奶奶)”這個詞。

　“我朝她微笑，她卻給我一個白眼” 這怎麼回事

相信大家在出國旅行、留學或者生活的時候，或多或少會感受到一個詞：

Culture shock(文化衝擊)。

這個詞的意思是，一個人或者一個組織身處不同國家的文化或不一樣的環境中而經受的一種困惑、焦慮的狀況。

在文化差距比較大的時候，文化衝擊現象更容易出現。

國外的網友們都經歷過什麼文化衝擊呢?

在Quora上有這樣一個問題：

What was your biggest culture shock while traveling?

你旅行時感受到最大的文化衝擊是什麼?

下面我們節選了三位網友的回答，一起來看看吧!

Some of my family lives in Poland. I was visiting my aunt there and out shopping at Tesco. We went to the checkout line and I smiled widely at the cashier.

我家有些人住在波蘭。當時我去拜訪我的姨媽，然後一起去樂購買東西。當我們走到收銀臺的時候，我對着收銀員露出了燦爛的微笑。

She gave me a dirty look and then started yelling at me. My Polish language skills aren't the best and I looked at my aunt in confusion.

她輕蔑地看了我一眼，然後開始對我嚷嚷。我的波蘭語不是很好，所以我就一臉疑惑地看着我姨媽。

She responded to the cashier, “Relax, she is just an American. They are a lot less miserable than us Poles.”

她對那個收銀員說：“放輕鬆，她是個美國人。她們的日子沒我們這麼慘。”

The cashier was not used to smiles and pleasantries and just assumed that my smile was because I was making fun of her.

那個收銀員並不習慣微笑和幽默，她以爲我對她笑是在取笑她。

I'm American, and used to work in SE Asia for a company headquartered in London.

我是個美國人，以前在一家總部位於倫敦的公司工作，工作地點是東南亞。

On one summer trip to the London HQ I was staying in a nice hotel that included a traditional British breakfast. One morning I was seated near an American family, and thought my goodness they are so loud! I noticed others sometimes glancing at them.

有一年夏天，我出差去倫敦的總部，當時住在一家很不錯的酒店裏，酒店附送傳統的英式早餐。一天早上，我坐在了一個美國家庭的旁邊，當時覺得“我的天啊，他們真夠吵的!”

The children were all very well behaved but obviously very excited anticipating their first full day exploring London (I eavesdropped a little).

孩子們都挺有禮貌，不過顯然對他們第一天的倫敦探險感到非常興奮。(這是我不小心聽到的)

I realized if this had been a restaurant in the USA their speech volume would have been quite normal and acceptable, and I wouldn't have noticed. As I had not been around Americans for several months, I had become used to a lower decibel level while dining without realizing it. This was kind of a re-entry culture shock.

我當時發現，如果這是一家美國餐廳，他們講話的音量其實挺正常的，完全可以接受，而我也應該不會注意到他們。但由於我已經幾個月沒有在美國呆過了，我已經習慣了分貝更低的就餐環境，而我自己還沒意識到。

I made it a point to introduce myself, that it was refreshing to hear other Americans after so long away, and with a bit of a twinkle said it was very nice to clearly hear how excited they are about the day ahead. The parents picked right up on it, and I later heard them nicely and quietly telling their children they could still hear them even if they spoke more softly...

我試圖去介紹了我自己，說很高興在離開了這麼久之後能再次聽到其他美國人講話，然後帶着點暗示對他們說“能清楚地聽到他們對這一天有多興奮，真是太好了。”家長們馬上就會過意了，後來我聽到他們和藹地對自家孩子說：即使他們小聲說話，爸爸媽媽也是聽得到的。

I wasn’t traveling but had moved to the UK from Canada.

我並不是在旅行，不過我從加拿大搬到英國來了。

I was standing at the bus stop with a few other people.

我當時正和其他一些人一起站在一個公交站。

When the bus pulled up, it stopped right in front of me.

當巴士停下來的時候，正好停在了我面前。

The doors opened and I go to step on the bus, then I feel a thud on my shoulder.

門打開之後，我馬上就上去了，結果感到有什麼東西戳了我的肩膀一下。

I turn around and an elderly lady was hitting me with her umbrella.

我轉過身來發現一位老太太正在用她的雨傘戳我。

When I looked at her she said something about not pushing in line.

當我看着她的時候，她告訴我不要插隊。

I apologized and explained that I had just moved from Canada and there we just get on the bus from where it stopped.

我道歉了，然後解釋說我剛剛從加拿大搬過來，而我們那都是巴士停在哪就在哪上。

She replied, “In England we respect the queue!” I didn’t even know what the word queue meant, but I soon learned that they do indeed line up for everything and they board the bus in the order they arrived at the bus stop.

她回答道：“我們英國有排隊的規矩!”我當時還不知道“隊”是個什麼意思，後來才知道，他們基本真的幹什麼都排隊，而且他們上巴士的時候，是按到達車站的順序來排的。
