【跟着英剧练发音】The Queens Palaces E01-3

（单词翻译）

 文本：

If you had to pick just one room which encapsulates what Buckingham Palace represents, it's this one. The Throne Room. And you're in no doubt where the seat of power lies. The two chairs on a raised dais, one for Queen Elizabeth the Second, one for her consort¹, Prince Philip. And you might pick that the Queen has sat on that seat many times during her reign² and received dozens of heads of state here. But you'd be wrong. This room is purely³ symbolic⁴, and she's only sat on that chair the once, at her coronation in 1953.

翻译：

如果要挑选一个房间作为白金汉宫的代表，那么非这间莫属。宝座室，宝座所代表的权力毋庸置疑，高台上的两张椅子，一张是伊丽莎白二世女王的，一张是她丈夫菲利普亲王的。你可能会挑选在女王统治期间，她经常坐在那张椅子上接见各国元首。事实上不是这样，这个房间纯粹是个象征，她只在那张椅子上坐过一次，就是在1953年加冕的时候。
