禮物竟然是一隻假手？女王真是又驚又喜
When Meghan Markle undertakes her first extensive foreign tour alongside Prince Harry next month, she will be doing a lot of royal waving!
當梅根·馬克爾下個月與哈里王子一起進行她第一次外國訪問時，她將會做很多王室招手！
As it turns out, Queen Elizabeth has a handy gadget that the couple could pack along with them as they head to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga.
事實證明，伊麗莎白女王有一個方便的小工具，哈里王子夫婦在前往澳大利亞，新西蘭，斐濟和湯加時可以隨身攜帶。
When the monarch visited Australia years ago, a group of students gave her a waving machine as a gag gift — something she has treasured ever since.
當王室成員多年前訪問澳大利亞時，一羣學生給了她一個揮手手機器作爲時不時偷懶的禮物 - 從那以後她一直珍惜着這份禮物。
The Queen’s daughter, Princess Anne, 68, revealed the funny gift to Robert Hardman in his book, Queen of the World (which accompanies the upcoming HBO documentary of the same name).
女王的女兒，68歲的安妮公主，在羅伯特·哈德曼的書《世界女王》（伴隨着即將播出的同名HBO紀錄片）中透露了這份有趣的禮物。
“They gave her a stuffed glove on a wooden lever so that you could tweak the end of the lever and this hand went to and fro,” Anne said. “I think they thought it was rather cheeky but Her Majesty was thrilled.”
“他們在木製槓桿上給她製作了一個填充好的手套，這樣她就可以調整槓桿的末端來讓這隻手來回揮動，”安妮說。 “我認爲他們這樣這很不妥當，但女王陛下很中意這份禮物。”
The Queen has visited Australia on official business more than a dozen times since she ascended to the throne in 1952.
自1952年登上王位以來，女王已經公開訪問澳大利亞十多次。
It’s not known if the Queen ever used what Hardman calls the “inspired invention.” It was likely taken back to the Queen’s summer home, Balmoral, in Scotland, where it has continued to amuse the royal family.
目前我們尚不清楚女王是否曾使用過哈德曼所稱的“靈感小發明”。它很有可能被帶回女王在蘇格蘭的避暑別墅巴爾莫勒爾，在那裏繼續逗王室成員們開心。
Royal walkabouts also result in lots of hand-shaking. And no-nonsense Anne has her own way of dealing with it: She decided not to bother at all.
皇家出行會導致大量的握手。直率的安妮有自己的處理方式：她決定直接不握手。
“The theory was that you couldn’t shake hands with everybody, so don’t start. So I kind of stick with that, but I noticed others don’t,” she reveals in the documentary, which premieres on HBO on October 1.
“我的理論是你既然無法與所有人握手，就不要開始。所以我一直堅持這一點，但我注意到其他人沒有這樣做，“她在10月1日首映於HBO的紀錄片中透露。
