英國皇家宮殿最華麗的4張照片

We all know Queen Elizabeth ii and her royal family are one of the wealthiest royalties the world has ever seen. These men and women of the crown ooze power and smell money. They live in expansive and magnificent palaces that only the genius of architects can conceive. Let's have a look at the golden concrete maze royals call home.

衆所周知，英國女王伊麗莎白二世和她的皇室家族是世界上最富裕的皇室。戴着皇冠的男人和女人擁有權力和金錢，住在只有天才建築家才能設計出的奢偉宮殿裏。讓我們來看看這個被稱爲"家"的金碧輝煌的宮殿吧。

de the Royal Ballroom, Buckingham Palace

1.白金漢宮內宴會廳

Have you ever seen the ballroom? Well, unless you strike friendship with the royal household, you will never set foot inside the ballroom. Designed as state of art dining area, the Ballroom has hosted a number of state banquets hosted by the queen herself. During dinners, the room as usual teems with servants and food of your choice, along with some of the most expensive wines and champagne you will ever think about.

你曾經見過宴會廳嗎？好吧，除非你與皇室家族有深厚的友誼，否則你不能踏足皇室宴會廳。這個宴會廳擁有藝術性餐廳的設計，女王在此舉辦了多場國家宴會。晚餐期間，這個房間通常有許多爲你服務的僕人和供你選擇的食物，還提供最昂貴的葡萄酒和香檳。

Crimson Drawing Room (Windsor Castle)

2.深紅色的客廳（溫莎城堡）

On 20 Nov 1992, at around 11 AM, fire ripped through the queen's private chapel in Windsor Castle and spread undetected by the workers until smoke alarm went off. The fire, that rages for several hours destroyed priceless artifacts, paintings and drawings. By the time it was controlled, nine hours later, huge sections of the castle had been destroyed.

1992年11月20日上午11點左右，火勢包圍了溫莎城堡內的小教堂，並蔓延到毫無察覺的工人附近，直到火警響起。火勢持續了幾個小時，毀壞了無價的藝術品、油畫和素描，當火勢得到控制時，已是九個小時以後，城堡損毀嚴重。

Days later, restoration of the landmark began in earnest with the Queen donating two million pounds. After the restoration, the destroyed Crimson room had a new face altogether. A clear memo fire has no authority over the monarchy.

幾天後，地標性建築物的修復工程在女王捐贈的2百萬英鎊下又如火如荼地開始了，修復後，被毀壞的深紅色的客廳有了全新的面貌。在強大的君主制下，一場火算不了什麼。

State Dining Room

3.國宴廳

The state dining room features expensive and rare gallery. Equipped with the State Of Art furniture, the room is often used as a retreat for dignitaries after banquet from the Ballroom. It has also been used by the queen to record her Christmas messages. Currently, the state room is closed following fears the ceiling would collapse as a result of neglect.

國宴廳以奢華和珍稀的畫廊爲特色，配有藝術性強的傢俱，這個房間用來款待從宴會廳離開的政要。它也被女王用來記錄她的聖誕講話。如今，國宴廳已經關閉--因爲擔心天花板由於常年失修而意外坍塌。

State Couch

4.皇家馬車

The royal state couch is often used but the royal family member on ceremonial occasions such as coronations or royal weddings. Built in 1762 by Samuel Butler, the carriage has seen less of action and reduced popularity among the royals today. Known for its cumbersome weight of 4 tons, she requires a pair of four horses to pull and it doesn't come cheap. At a price tag of 28M pounds, I bet she is one of themost expensive gold laden horse drawn carriages out there.

皇室家族成員通常在重要的場合乘坐皇家馬車，例如加冕禮和皇室婚禮。皇家馬車由塞繆爾o巴特勒在1762年建成，如今因爲不經常使用，也不那麼著名了。它重達4噸，需要四匹馬來拉動，而且造價不菲，高達2800萬英鎊。我敢打賭，它是最昂貴的黃金馬車之一。
