Prince Philip’s nickname for wife Queen Elizabeth is actually baffling
分享到
你猜菲利普親王怎么稱呼伊麗莎白女王?居然是“卷心菜”cabbage!原來(lái)蔬菜名可以聽起來(lái)這么可愛。為什么菲利普親王叫女王“卷心菜”?女王又有什么別的昵稱?一起來(lái)看看。
Undoubtedly one of the cutest couples on the planet, Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth have been married for nearly 70 years.
已經(jīng)結(jié)婚近70年的菲利普親王和伊麗莎白女王無(wú)疑是世界上最可愛的夫婦。
Through thick and thin, the royal pair have stuck by each other's sides. While the two are notoriously private about their life behind closed doors -- they rarely show displays of affection in public -- one adorable detail about their relationship will melt your heart.
無(wú)論風(fēng)霜雨雪,這對(duì)王室夫婦始終站在彼此身邊。雖然兩個(gè)人對(duì)私生活一向是守口如瓶,也鮮少在公眾面前流露感情,但有個(gè)和兩人感情有關(guān)的可愛細(xì)節(jié)會(huì)融化你的心。
Just like any couple, the Duke of Edinburgh and Her Majesty have cute nicknames for each other. In the 2006 film "The Queen," the actor who plays Prince Philip calls his wife Queen Elizabeth "cabbage." Yes, cabbage. Who knew vegetables could be so endearing?
和其他夫妻一樣,菲利普親王(愛丁堡公爵)和英國(guó)女王彼此都有可愛的昵稱。2006年的電影《女王》中,飾演菲利普親王的演員稱呼自己的妻子伊麗莎白女王為“卷心菜”。沒(méi)錯(cuò),卷心菜。誰(shuí)能想到蔬菜名還可以這么討人喜歡呢?
“I inquired in royal circles and was told on very good authority that that is what the duke sometimes calls the Queen,” the film’s screenwriter Peter Morgan tells The Times. The Queen’s biographer, Robert Lacey, confirmed.
該電影的編劇皮特?摩根告訴《泰晤士報(bào)》說(shuō):“我在王室圈里問(wèn)過(guò)了,權(quán)威人士告訴我,愛丁堡公爵有時(shí)候就是這么稱呼女王的?!迸醯膫饔涀髡吡_伯特?萊西也證實(shí)了這一點(diǎn)。
Many believe that his term of endearment comes from mon petit chou, a French way of saying “my darling.” In English, the term translates literally to "my little cabbage."
許多人認(rèn)為這一昵稱來(lái)自法語(yǔ)mon petit chou,是法國(guó)人說(shuō)“親愛的”的一種表達(dá)方式。這一短語(yǔ)翻譯成英語(yǔ)的字面意思是“我的小白菜”。
But that isn't the only nickname Queen Elizabeth has. Her great grandson, Prince George, calls her "Gan-Gan" while her family called her "Lilibet" when she was younger to poke fun at the fact that the then-princess couldn't properly pronounce her name.
但這并不是英國(guó)女王唯一的昵稱。她的曾孫喬治小王子稱呼女王為“甘甘”,而她的家人在她小時(shí)候叫她Lilibet,取笑當(dāng)時(shí)的伊麗莎白公主念自己的名字發(fā)音不準(zhǔn)確。
上面這些女王昵稱,你覺得哪個(gè)最可愛?
其實(shí),不光英國(guó)女王有這么多好玩的昵稱,很多名人也有妙趣橫生的昵稱。廣為人知的一般是粉絲給他們?nèi)〉?,比如詹妮?勞倫斯被叫作大表姐,本尼迪克特?康伯巴奇被叫作卷福,湯姆?希德勒斯頓被叫作抖森,邁克爾?法斯賓德被叫作法鯊,泰勒?斯威夫特被叫作霉霉,詹姆斯?麥卡沃伊被叫作一美,凱蒂?佩里被叫作水果姐,這些都是中國(guó)粉絲給他們?nèi)〉模@些昵稱都是怎么來(lái)的呢?感興趣的可以看這里:為什么中國(guó)人叫凱蒂?佩里“水果姐”?
今天我們要說(shuō)的是一些你很可能不知道的名人昵稱。
