Pictures released of Prince George at Eton College

In the past hour, Prince George has arrived at Eton College to begin his first year at the school.

在過去一小時內，喬治王子已抵達伊頓公學，展開他在該校的第一學年。

Here he is arriving at college in the past hour with his mother and father alongside him.

這就是他過去一小時內抵達學院的畫面，身旁有父母陪同。

He is, of course, following in the very footsteps of Prince William, his father, who attended the historic school in Berkshire, also his uncle too, Prince Harry.

他當然是追隨父親威廉王子的腳步，威廉王子曾就讀這所位於伯克郡的歷史名校，他的叔叔哈利王子也曾在此就讀。

Let's bring in our royal correspondent, Laura Bundock. Laura, just tell us more.

讓我們連線王室記者蘿拉·班鐸克。蘿拉，請告訴我們更多細節。

Yeah, that's right. Prince George within the last hour arrived here at Eton College with his parents at his side,

沒錯。喬治王子在過去一小時內，在父母陪同下抵達了伊頓公學，

his mum, Kate, Princess of Wales, holding up the umbrella as they walked across that rather rainy court, courtyard

他的母親威爾斯王妃凱特撐著傘，他們穿過下著雨的庭院，

to meet and be greeted by both the provost of the college and the headmaster as well.

會見並接受學院理事長與校長的迎接。

A short time they stood outside, braving what is absolutely filthy weather today, frankly,

老實說，他們在外面站了一小段時間，頂著今天極其惡劣的天氣，

before the five of them went, went inside the college.

隨後五人便步入了學院內部。

What will start George's life as a boarder here at Eton College,

這將開啟喬治在伊頓公學的寄宿生活，

this famous, exclusive, very privileged school where the fees every year are £65,000.

這所享譽盛名、門檻極高且備受推崇的名校，每年的學費高達 65,000 英鎊。

It was decided this was the place, having looked around a number of schools,

在參觀了幾所學校之後，最終選定這裡，

that both George and his parents felt was the best fit for him.

喬治與父母都認為這裡最適合他。

It wasn't a given, even though his father and his uncle came here.

儘管他的父親和叔叔都曾就讀於此，這也並非順理成章的事。

It wasn't a given that George would come. They looked round several schools, plumped on Eton.

喬治會來並不是板上釘釘。他們看了好幾所學校，最終選擇了伊頓。

It is a very different school experience though here to the average, the average teenage boy growing up.

然而，這裡的校園體驗與一般成長中的青少年男孩大相徑庭。

I mean, you know, the different language here at Eton for starters. He'll be joining F Block, not Year 9.

我是說，首先在伊頓就有完全不同的專用詞彙。他將加入「F Block」，而非一般稱的九年級。

He'll be taught by "beaks", not teachers. He'll be going through "halves", not terms.

教導他的老師被稱為「beaks」而非 teachers。他度過的學期叫「halves」而非 terms。

And that's just the start of the strange vernacular they have here,

這還只是這裡奇特專用用語的冰山一角，

let alone the the uniform he will be putting on once his school career starts,

更不用說他求學生涯展開後將換上的制服，

that very distinct uniform of the tailcoat, those pinstripe trousers and a shirt with a detachable collar fastened with studs.

那套極具特色的燕尾服制服、細條紋長褲，以及用領釦固定的可拆卸式衣領襯衫。

Anyway, lots for George to be getting on with. We don't see Prince George out and about that much.

無論如何，喬治有很多新事物要適應。我們平常很少看到喬治王子公開露面。

We get select photos shared by the family certainly on his birthday. We see him at Christmas Day at Sandringham,

我們會在他的生日時看到王室分享精選照片，或在聖誕節看到他現身桑德令罕府，

and we will see him, and we do see him at Trooping the Colour on the Buckingham Palace balcony.

我們也會在皇家軍旗敬禮分列式時，看到他出現在白金漢宮的陽台上。

But I think the family have always been very, very fiercely guarded of their privacy and the privacy of their three children.

但我認為威廉一家一直極力維護自身及三個孩子的隱私。

So a rare outing for George as he, as he starts here at Eton today.

因此對喬治而言，今天來到伊頓展開新生活是一次難得的公開亮相。
