明年“最大牌”服装展：庆女王90岁寿辰 英将举办女王服装展

Born into the age of the flapper, growing up with the frugality of wartime and witnessing the advent of the miniskirt, the Queen has lived through ten different decades of fashion.
生于女性追求无拘无束的上世纪20年代，成长于节俭朴素的二战时期，还见证了超短裙的诞生，英国女王伊丽莎白二世经历了十个各不相同的时代潮流。

For her own part, Elizabeth II is estimated to have worn well over 10,000 outfits to official engagements over her lifetime, created by a series of dedicated designers.
据估计，伊丽莎白二世一生中出席官方场合穿过的礼服超过一万套。这些服装皆由女王御用的设计师设计而成。

The three displays will each have a distinct theme. The fancy dress costumes worn by the young Princess Elizabeth at wartime family pantomimes will be on show at Windsor Castle from September 2016 alongside dazzling evening gowns and smart official clothes.
三场展览都主题鲜明。温莎城堡（Windsor Castle）的展览将于2016年9月举办，展出二战时期伊丽莎白公主出演家庭童话剧时所穿的剧服。此次展览还会展出女王令人炫目的晚礼服和干练的正装。

It is not known yet which pantomime costumes will be included, but the Queen and her younger sister, the late Princess Margaret, appeared on stage in their youth in a number of shows including Aladdin and Cinderella, where Elizabeth played the role of Prince Florizel.
展览将展出哪些童话剧服装还尚未可知，但伊丽莎白二世和她的妹妹玛格丽特公主（已过世）幼时曾出演多部童话剧，包括《阿拉丁》和《灰姑娘》。在《灰姑娘》中女王扮演的是弗罗利泽王子。

She was once again given the male part in a performance of Sleeping Beauty in 1942, where Margaret was Fairy Thistledown and her elder sister Prince Salvador.

Known for her brightly coloured outfits, the Queen once remarked, "I can never wear beige because nobody will know who I am".
女王以着装颜色鲜艳而闻名，她曾说道：“我绝对不能穿淡棕色的衣服，那样可没人能认出我是谁了”。
