A Lonely Child
一個孤獨的孩子
Prince Edward was born in 1894.His father,King George V, was a tall, cold man who did not likechil-dren.'Why does Edward talk all the time?'he once said.'He's a very noisy child!'
愛德華王子出生於1894年。他的父親喬治五世國王身材高大,性情冷漠。他不喜歡孩子。“愛德華為什麼總是說個不停?”有一次,他說,“這孩子真鬧人!”
His mother,Queen Mary, agreed.'It doesn't matter if Edward is happy or unhappy,' shesaid.'A child must be silent and strong.'
他的母親瑪麗王后也這麼想。“愛德華高興與否並不重要,”她說,“小孩子一定要沉靜而堅強。”
The family lived in Buckingham Palace,which had 600 rooms.There were 8 kitchens,19bathrooms,24 toilets, 11 dining rooms, 17 bedrooms and 21 sitting rooms.
他們一家住在白金漢宮。這座宮殿有600個房間。其中有8個廚房,19間浴室,24個衛生間,11個餐廳,17間臥室和21間起居室。
Edward once told a story about the house :Buckingham Palace was very big, and peoplesometimes got lost.One night my mother,my father and I were sitting in the dining room.Wewere waiting for our dinner.We wait-ed and waited, but the food did not come.After twentyminutes my father was very angry. He stood up and went to the kitchen.'Where is thecook?'he shouted,and where is my food?'
有一次,愛德華講了一個關於這座房子的故事:白金漢宮非常大,人們有時會迷路。一天晚上,我和我的父母親坐在餐廳裡等著吃晚飯。我們等呀等呀,但飯菜遲遲沒有送上來。等了20分鐘,我父親火了。他起身去廚房。“廚師呢?”他喊道,“我的晚餐在哪兒?”
'But, Sir,' the cook replied,'your dinner left the kitchen fifteen minutes ago.Hasn't it arrivedyet?'
“可是,陛下,”廚師說,“您的晚餐15分鐘之前就送走了。難道還沒有送到嗎?”
'No,it hasn't,'my father shouted, 'and I'm hungry.'
“沒有,”我父親高聲叫道,“我餓壞了。”
The King left the kitchen and began to look for the food.Ten minutes later he saw a woman whowas carrying three plates of meat and potatoes.'What happened to you?'my father said.'Whydidn't you bring us our dinner?'
國王離開廚房,開始去找晚餐。10分鐘後,他看見一個女傭正端著3盤子肉和土豆。“你是怎麼回事?”我父親問,“你為什麼不把晚餐給我們端來?”
“I' m sorry, Sir,”the woman replied.“There are a lot of dining rooms. I couldn't rememberwhere to go.But if you return to the table, Sir, this time I can follow you to the right room.”
“對不起,陛下,”女傭回答道,“這兒有很多餐廳。我記不起應該進哪一間。但要是您能回到餐桌旁去,陛下,這次我會跟著您找到該去的餐廳。”
Edward did not go to school with other children. He stayed in Buckingham Palace where he had aspecial classroom just for him.
愛德華沒有和其他孩子一起去學校上學。他待在白金漢宮,那兒有他的專用教室。
