英國(guó)王室公布了2016年收到的禮物清單，從腌香腸、辣椒、石榴到杯子、靠墊套、襪子，可謂五花八門、應(yīng)有盡有。給王室送禮的確是件難辦的事兒，送的太貴重或者太廉價(jià)都不太合適，似乎也只能想一些“另類”的招數(shù)了。下面來看看去年英國(guó)王室都收哪些令人啼笑皆非的禮物吧。

The weird, wonderful, and occasionally mundane gifts showered upon the Royal Family have been revealed in an official list published today - and Prince Charles and Camilla received their fair share as they undertook three official tours in 2016.
英國(guó)王室收到的官方禮物清單今日被公之于眾，這些禮物有的奇葩、有的精美，還有個(gè)別平淡無奇。查爾斯王子和卡米拉王妃去年進(jìn)行了三次正式訪問，因此收到了不少禮物。

Some of the most unusual presents they received included cushion covers, swords, socks, goblets, cured sausage meats, and even ergonomic crayons.
他們收到的最不尋常的禮物包括墊子套、劍、襪子、酒杯、腌香腸，甚至還有人體工程學(xué)蠟筆。

However, among the gifts most likely to raise eyebrows are those from the Bahraini royal family, which they received during their visit to the country in November.
然而，其中可能讓人最驚訝的禮物來自巴林王室，是查爾斯王子和卡米拉王妃去年11月訪問該國(guó)時(shí)收到的。

Official gifts, declared annually in a list, can be worn and used, but are not considered the royals' personal property and they do not pay tax on them.
官方禮品清單每年都會(huì)公之于眾，這些禮品可以佩戴和使用，但不能視為王室的私人財(cái)產(chǎn)而王室不需要為此納稅。
