威尔士王妃在公开癌症诊断后首次亮相,与她的三个孩子——乔治王子、夏洛特公主和路易王子——一起在一名少将的办公室窗口观看了色彩队列阅兵仪式的盛况。

凯瑟琳王妃身着带有海军蓝细节的白色服装,早些时候被看到在马车内微笑并与穿着海军蓝和白色衣服的孩子们交谈。他们抵达位于白厅的骑兵卫队阅兵场之前,王妃一直陪伴在孩子们身边。作为爱尔兰卫队的上校,威尔士王妃还佩戴了爱尔兰卫队的团徽。离开白金汉宫时,马路上的人群向他们欢呼致意。

查尔斯国王和卡米拉王后在威尔士王妃之前,乘坐皇家马车在队列中前行。

在阅兵开始前,威尔士王妃被拍到乘车抵达白金汉宫。

词汇解释:

"Spectacle" 在这里指的是一场引人注目的、壮观的、值得观看的场面或仪式。在文章中,指的是阅兵仪式的盛大场面和整体的壮观氛围。这个词强调了活动的隆重和引人注目的特性,通常用于形容大型庆典、仪式或活动。



Ahead of the event, Kate said in a statement: “I’m looking forward to attending the King’s birthday parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet.

在活动前,凯特通过声明表示:“我期待本周末与家人一起参加国王的生日阅兵,希望在夏季参加一些公开活动,但同时也知道我还没有完全脱离困境。”

词汇解释:

"Out of the woods" 是一个习语,意思是摆脱困境、安全、脱离危险或问题的范围。在这里,凯特王妃使用这个习语来表达她希望能够参加一些公开活动,但同时她也清楚自己的情况还没有完全摆脱病痛或困境的意思。


“I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal.”

“我正在学会如何耐心面对不确定性。我每天都在根据自己的感觉行事,允许自己花这些非常必要的时间来康复。”

The Princess of Wales said she was making “good progress” but “there are good days and bad days”. “On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.” She added that her treatment will continue “for a few more months”.

威尔士王妃表示她正在“取得良好进展”,但“有好有坏”。“在那些糟糕的日子里,你会感觉虚弱、疲惫,必须顺应身体的需要休息。但在好日子里,当你感觉更强壮时,你会想充分利用身体状态良好的时光。”她补充说,她的治疗将继续“几个月”。

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: “His Majesty is delighted that the princess is able to attend tomorrow’s events and is much looking forward to all elements of the day.”

白金汉宫一位发言人说:“国王陛下很高兴王妃能够参加明天的活动,并非常期待这一天的所有活动。”


The celebration has been held on the sovereign’s birthday for more than 260 years. At the event, Number 9 Company, Irish guards, a regiment Kate represents as colonel, will be trooping the king’s colour.

这庆典已经连续在君主的生日上举行超过260年。在这次活动中,凯特担任上校的爱尔兰卫队第9连将进行阅兵仪式,展示国王的军旗。

In a letter read to the regiment last week, the Princess of Wales, who is undergoing chemotherapy, wrote to the Irish guards to apologise for being unable to take the salute and wished them luck. Lt Gen Sir James Bucknall will take the salute on her behalf.

在上周致信该团时,正在接受化疗的威尔士王妃表示无法亲自接受阅兵,向爱尔兰卫队表示歉意并祝愿他们好运。詹姆斯·巴克纳尔上将将代表她接受阅兵致敬。

正在接受癌症治疗的国王将不会骑马参加仪式,而是将乘坐阿斯科特兰道马车审阅阅兵。他三岁时曾与祖母、伊丽莎白王太后一起乘坐马车参加了他的第一次阅兵式。
