英國王室又出大事了!
繼上次外媒報道,英國國王查爾斯三世和兒媳凱特王妃雙雙入院之後,缺課的同學請戳:
這次白金漢宮釋出訊息稱,查爾斯確診患癌!查爾斯於2022年9月登基,迄今在位不到2年。
BBC在報道中這樣寫道:
King Charles hasbeen diagnosed witha form of cancer, says Buckingham Palace.The type of cancer has not been revealed - it is not prostate cancer, but was discovered during his recent treatment for an enlarged prostate.
白金漢宮釋出訊息稱,查爾斯國王被確診患有癌症。癌症型別尚未公佈,但並非前列腺癌,而是在他最近治療前列腺肥大時發現的。
The King began "regular treatments" on Monday and will postpone public duties during it, the Palace said.
白金漢宮表示,國王從週一(2月5日)開始接受“定期治療”,在此期間將推遲公開活動。
be diagnosed with:被診斷出患有
Although he will pause his public events, the King will continue with hisconstitutionalrole as head of state, including paperwork and private meetings.
雖然國王將暫停公開活動,但他將繼續履行憲法規定的國家元首職責,包括文書工作和私人會議。
It is understood his weekly audiences with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will continue and will be in person, unless doctors advise that he limits such contact.
據瞭解,他將繼續每週親自與首相里希·蘇納克會面,醫生建議他儘量減少與外界接觸。
constitutional:adj.憲法的;憲法規定的,合乎憲法的
如果之後國王暫時無法履行公務,則可以指定王室成員作為國務顧問(counsellors of state)代行國王職責。
一旦國王完全無法履行憲法規定的職責、國家無法正常運轉,那麼國王的權力可以收回,由攝政王接管。根據《1937年攝政法案》,攝政王將是王位繼承人,即威廉王子。
不過目前的威廉王子,或者我們也可以叫他威爾士親王,也是分身乏術。因為前段時間凱特王妃的重病,他曾暫停公務活動。
Prince William had also temporarily withdrawn from public engagements while he helped his wife Catherine, the Princess of Wales, as she recovered from abdominal surgery she had last month.
近日,威廉王子也暫停了部分公開活動,以幫助他的妻子威爾士王妃凱特康復。她剛在上個月接受了腹部手術。
But it was announced earlier on Monday that he would return to public duties later this week.
但週一早些時候有訊息稱,他將於本週晚些時候重返公職。
abdominal:adj.腹部的
而關於凱特王妃的病情,現在也是越傳越邪乎。
西班牙知名記者卡萊哈爆料,凱特在住院期間一度陷入昏迷,被醫生從生死線上救了回來。雖然王室內部的訊息人士駁斥了這一報道,但據凱特王妃身邊的知情人士介紹,她的病情確實“相當嚴重”,但沒有到致命的地步。
"It’s total nonsense," a palace source told The Times. "No attempt was made by that journalist to fact-check anything that she said with anyone in the household. It’s fundamentally, totally made-up, and I’ll use polite English here: it’s absolutely not the case."
"完全胡說八道!"一位王室訊息人士告訴《泰晤士報》。"那位記者根本沒有嘗試與王室任何人核實她所說的話。這完全是捏造的,我儘量用禮貌的英文來說:根本不是那麼回事。"
The palace added that the surgery was "successful," but her recovery would require her to stay at the hospital for up to two weeks. After 13 days at The London Clinic, Princess Kate returned home to Windsor on Monday, where she will continue her recovery. She is not expected to return to royal duty until after Easter, the palace said.
王室還補充說,手術"很成功",但康復需要住院長達兩週。凱特王妃在倫敦診所住了13天后,已經於週一回到溫莎家中,並在那裡繼續休養。王室表示,她預計要到復活節之後才會重新履行王室職責。
made-up:adj.捏造的,虛構的
而凱特王妃一倒下,家裡的三個熊孩子,10歲的喬治,8歲的夏洛特,5歲的路易,就全靠威廉和保姆照料。
Prince William is looking after the children alongside Borrallo, helping with school pickups and drop-offs. A close family friend says the Prince and Princess of Wales don’t have “a huge private staff,” and “as a result, William is reallyhands-on.”
威廉王子正在與保姆波拉羅一起照顧孩子們,接送他們上下學。一位與王室關係密切的朋友表示,威爾士親王和王妃並沒有很多僱傭太多私人助理,所以“威廉真的非常親力親為”。
“He doesn’t want any mistakes made with the next generation. He wants to give them a proper upbringing and lots of love. That is foremost in his mind,” the friend says.
這位朋友說,“他不想在下一代教育上犯任何錯誤。他想給他們一個良好的成長環境和很多的關愛。這是他最關心的問題。”
hands-on:adj.事事過問的,事必躬親的
王室主力們都病倒了,現在撐起英國王室公務的,是兩位70多的老太太,一位是英國王后卡米拉,76歲,一位是國王的妹妹安妮公主,73歲。
自從女王去世後,她們兩位可以說是查爾斯生命中最重要的兩個女人。
這一家子老的老,小的小,病的病,忙的忙,情況真是不樂觀。
而據英媒報道,在2020年正式退出英國王室公職,定居美國的哈里王子(薩塞克斯公爵),即將飛回倫敦探望父親。
A spokesperson for Prince Harry said he had spoken to his father about the diagnosis.The duke moved to the US with his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, after they stepped back as senior royals in 2020.
哈里王子的發言人表示,他已經和父親談過診斷結果。2020年,哈里王子和妻子梅根(薩塞克斯公爵夫人)從王室高階成員的位置退下來後,搬到了美國。
Since then, his relationship with some other royals has beenstrained.The spokesperson said Meghan would remain in the US with their two children.
從那時起,他與其他王室成員的關係就變得緊張起來。這位發言人說,梅根將帶著他們的兩個孩子留在美國。
strained:adj.(關係) 緊張的
有人問,哈里有可能和哥哥搶王位,成為英國國王嗎?
首先,王位繼承權和繼承順序無法更改,只有排名靠前的成員主動放棄王位或死亡,才能由後面的人繼承王位。
也就是說,除非威廉王子、喬治王子、夏洛特公主以及路易王子,4人全部放棄王位或死亡,哈里才有成為國王的可能。那你覺得有可能嗎?
