　　阴云密布：由英国女王伊丽莎白二世领队，英国皇室家族成员日前搭乘奢华游轮外出度假。英女王伊丽莎白二世头戴爱马仕丝巾，脚蹬轻盈鞋子走在队伍的最前端。从左边数起：查尔斯王子、Eugenie公主、小公主Beatrice、安德鲁、菲利普、公主Anne的老公Tim Laurence。

　　Do they really have to look quite so glum, with the men formally buttoned up and wearing ties? All they were going on to do was have lunch with Charles — who wasn’t on the cruise — at the Castle of Mey.

　　有人质疑，这些皇室成员好不容易以一个庞大家族的“幌子”旅游一次，有必要一个个脸上都那么“沮丧”吗？瞧，男士们都西装革履、领带不离身，有必要旅游的时候也那么庄重么？

　　Which brings us to the fascinating picture taken this week of the Royals being met by Prince Charles as they disembarked from the five-star cruise ship Hebridean Princess, chartered by the Queen for a family jaunt that took them round the Western Isles for ten days.

　　据说，皇室成员们这回外出搭乘五星级奢华游轮“Hebridean Princess”环游英国西部群岛（斯堪的纳维亚半岛地区），旅游行程耗时10天呢。

　　瞧这些王子们携家带口的样子，大家还是很珍惜这次旅游机会的吧。
