Royal Childhood

Taken from reels of never seen before home movie footage, it offers a rare glimpse of the Queen and her family in relaxed ‘off duty’ mode.
這組畫面取自英國皇室一段從未面世的家庭錄像,展現(xiàn)了女王和她的家人在履行皇室責(zé)任之外難得一見的輕松家庭生活。

Now it is among the highlights of a new exhibition at Buckingham Palace – Royal Childhood – which opens to the public on 26 July 2014.
這些影像將可以在白金漢宮最新展出的“皇室童年展”中覓得,該展覽于2014年7月26日面向大眾開放。

The treasured family film, much of which was shot by the Queen and Prince Philip themselves and comes from their personal collection, is incredibly touching.
這些珍貴的家庭錄像大多由女王和菲利普親王親手錄制,為他們的個人私藏,畫面溫馨感人。

Dancing

One of the most charming segments, however, sees Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret, aged around ten and six, on board a royal yacht, showing off their new-found dancing skills for the camera.
其中最可愛的一個片段中,年僅10歲還是公主的伊麗莎白與6歲的瑪格麗特公主在皇室游艇上翩翩起舞,向鏡頭展示她們新學(xué)到的舞步。

They are subsequently joined by their mother – then Queen Elizabeth - and governess, Marion ‘Crawfie’ Crawford.
接著,她們的母親伊麗莎白皇太后以及保姆馬里恩·“克勞菲”·克勞福德也加入了。

See-saw

As a carefree young girl Queen Elizabeth can be seen playing on a see-saw with her younger sister, Princess Margaret, throwing her head back in laughter.
一個片段里,伊麗莎白女王還是一個無憂無慮的少女,與妹妹瑪格麗特公主在玩蹺蹺板,她的頭向后仰著,笑得十分歡快。

Mount a horse

A young Queen Elizabeth mounts a horse in one segment of footage which will go on display together with more than 150 treasured toys, outfits and nursery items belonging to nine generations of children who have called the grand royal residence home.
年輕時的伊麗莎白女王騎上了馬。展覽中還將展出屬于皇室九代成員的童年珍藏,包括150多件玩具、服裝和兒童用品。

Princess Anne

Princess Anne, who features as a toddler in much of the footage, appears happy and content as she plays with a toy in the treasured family video.
在這些珍藏的影片中,安妮公主大多還只是一個嬰兒。片段中,她拿著一個玩具在玩,看上去開心又滿足。

Poses for a photograph

In another clip, Her Majesty The Queen poses for a photograph while a very young Princess Anne appears distracted with the object in her right hand.
另一個片段中,女王做好了拍照的準備,但年幼的安妮公主卻似乎因為右手里的一個物件而顯得心不在焉。

Toy xylophone

Other clips of footage - which will go on display as part of the exhibition - show the Queen affectionately offering a toy xylophone to her then toddler son, Prince Charles.
展覽中的其他幾段影像里有這樣一幕,女王慈愛地將一個玩具木琴遞給了還是嬰兒的查爾斯王子。

Prince Charles

The footage also reveals a very young Prince Charles, dressed in shorts and a t-shirt, proudly showing sticks to the camera as he plays in front of Buckingham Palace.
還有一個畫面里,年幼的查爾斯王子穿著短褲和T恤在白金漢宮前玩耍,驕傲地向鏡頭展示手中的棒子。

Tricycle playing

In one clip, the Duke of Edinburgh can be seen on a child's tricycle leading Prince Charles around on toy tractor while playing. Prince Philip (centre) and Prince Charles (left) appear to be following Princess Anne (right) as they all play on children's tricycles in the royal grounds.
其中的一幕可以看見騎著兒童三輪車的菲利普親王,他領(lǐng)著坐在玩具拖拉車上的查爾斯王子在院子中兜圈玩耍。菲利普親王(中)和查爾斯王子(左)似乎是在追安妮公主(右),三人在院子里騎著兒童三輪車玩得不亦樂乎。

King George VI

One piece of footage is particularly poignant and shows the Queen's adored but frail father, King George V1, sitting on a sun lounger and fondly placing his arms around his grandson, Prince Charles's waist.
有一段影像特別讓人心酸,畫面中深受女王敬愛卻身體羸弱的父親喬治六世坐在躺椅上,溫柔地用胳膊托著孫子查爾斯王子的腰。
