英国下议院向来有“相声茶馆”“ 德云社英国分社”的美称，而整得像高大上音乐厅的英国上议院却一直神秘兮兮。
英国上议院是英国议会的两院之一，议员包括王室后裔、世袭贵族、终身贵族、上诉法院法官和教会大主教及主教。
教会的大主教和主教即为“灵职议员”，王室后裔、世袭贵族、终身贵族、上诉法院法官即为“俗职议员”。
BBC纪录片《Meet The Lords》将首次为你揭秘上议院！
黑杖大人现场穿黑丝，勋爵毒舌吐槽: 上院就是个照看老人的日托所~
还有蠢萌的皇家仪式——国会开幕大典！女王华丽丽出场逼逼叨，一群bling bling穿得像"扑克牌上的小人"纷纷登场...

中英全文
One of the weird things about this place is...Only one? Again, my lord! When people come down, I'll say good morning to them even though now it's just after two o'clock. Because in the House here, it's morning until prayers are read.
这里有一件非常奇葩的事儿...就你一人啦？又只剩我了，勋爵大人。各位勋爵从里面出来，我得跟他们打招呼。早上好！尽管现在已经下午2点出头了。因为在咱们上议院这儿，只要祷文还没读，都算是早上。
Morning, my Lord!
早上好，勋爵大人！
Good afternoon.
下午好。
Still morning, my Lord. Till prayers are read. Morning! As political elites everywhere go up in flames, one place remains untouched.
勋爵大人，现在还是上午哦！祷文还没读呢。早上好！如今，世界各地掀起了反精英政治的浪潮，只有一个地方完全不受影响。
Welcome to the Lords! Mother always used to say...'It's ridiculous, the House of Lords. Never does anything!' Well, I mean...That isn't actually true.
欢迎来到英国上议院！我妈以前常说这句话..."简直太无语，你们上议院，整天啥事儿也不做！" 嗯，我觉得...其实她说的不对。
Fair exchange. An iPad for a sword.
公平交易，用iPad换一把剑。
In a TV first, we filmed behind the scenes in a turbulent years which has seen the nation in chaos...and the Lords on a war footing with the Government.
电视史上的首次揭秘英国上议院这一年的幕后故事。这是充满骚乱、动荡不安的一年。上议院与政府之间掐架互撕、矛盾激化。
Division!
有异议！
They want to cart us off lock us up, and tell us to shut up.
他们想把咱们赶走呢！最好是关进监狱，命令我们闭嘴。
Made my first vote.
投出了我的第一票。
At a time when the political rule book is being torn up is there still a place for this very British institution?
如今，各种政治规则章程都已形同虚设。这座典型的英式机构还能否夹缝存生呢？
Woe betide them if the Government should ever take the House of Lords for granted.
要是政府胆敢小瞧咱们上议院的话 那他们可就倒大霉了。
早上好，勋爵大人！
Hello.
你好。
Hello, my lord.
你好，勋爵大人。
Maybe then I should have told the Lord Bishop that it's still morning till prayers are read cuz he's one of the ones who does read the prayers...and he should really know that, but...
或许我该提醒一下主教大人的，现在还没读晨祷呢，所以算是上午。毕竟他是要宣读祷文的人啊！他应该很清楚这个的，还是算了。
We'll see if that comes back!
看他等下会不会回来吧！
Lord Palmer (Hereditary Peer): It's terribly like being at school! You get given a locker, and you get given a clothes peg and I'm always immensely proud.
帕尔默勋爵（世袭贵族）： 真的很像去学校上课哎！大家都有自己专属的储物柜，还有挂衣服的衣架，我对这点还蛮骄傲的。
I was able to keep my great-grandfather's sign which says L Palmer.
因为我能用我太爷爷留下的姓名标牌，上面写着：帕尔默勋爵。
And you can see that all the rest are sort of white, whereas mine dates from 1933.
你看，其他人都是最普通的白色标牌，而我这个，可是从1933年流传下来的。
The Lords' day starts with a procession overseen by one of the House's senior officials known as Black Rod.
上议院的日常，由一项仪式开始。一位上议院的资深官员要全程监督执行，他被称为"黑杖"。
David Leakey: The daily rigmarole of getting dressed for the procession. I can do it in just five minutes, if I'm pressed and running late.
中将（自2010起担任黑杖传令官）： 每天都得为这么个仪式 费事儿换衣服，各种繁琐复杂。不过要是时间很赶的话，我也能在5分钟内搞定。
I never thought I'd get expert at putting stockings or tights on, once you've mastered the art, it's not difficult, but...
以前我哪想过，自己竟会成为穿长筒丝袜的专业人士啊！不过后来摸透了穿丝袜的套路，其实也不难嘛。
You just have to be careful, you don't push your foot carelessly through the sides. And I've now discovered what denier they are, when you go to replace them in the stores.
穿的时候得小心点儿。别随随便便的，使劲儿往里面一阵猛踹。而且我还搞懂了什么叫做"丹尼数" ，去店里买新丝袜的时候，都得用上。
注释： 丹尼数与袜子厚度呈正相关：D数越小，丝袜越薄越透；越厚越耐穿的袜子，D数越高。
Lords gather in the chamber, ready for business. Once, they were aristocrats who had a seat here because of their title. Now, just 92 hereditary peers remain among the more than 800 who have a seat here.
勋爵们聚集在议事厅内，等待议程开启。曾经的英国贵族单单因为身份，就能在上议院拥有一席之地。可如今，在超过800位的世袭勋爵中，却只有92人在此保有席位。
Many are ghosts from the House of Commons appointed by the Prime Minister of the day.
他们中的大多数人，都是下议院飘来的幽灵。他们是由当年的首相直接任命的。
There are three former Cabinet ministers over there.
比如那边坐着的三位，都是前内阁大臣。
Lord Foulkes: It's like. Thatcher's Cabinet suddenly all sitting together once again.
福克斯勋爵（工党成员）： 感觉像是，撒切尔夫人的内阁，恍惚之间就又重新出现了。
Lord Lawson: This is known as the Conservative Privy Counsellors' bench and it tends to be former Cabinet ministers, yes.
劳森勋爵（保守党成员）： 这里是枢密院顾问官的专属坐席，所以咱们以前都是内阁大臣，没错。
Lord Blunkett: You've got people who've got long-standing political experience, people who've got long-standing experience outside the political arena, you've got people who may well be part of the patronage of the government of the day.
布伦基特勋爵（工党成员）： 这里在座的各位，有些人拥有长期的从政经历；也有些人是在政坛以外，拥有长期的经历；还有些人呢，或许当年曾做过英国政府的赞助人士。
Rewarded for either keeping their mouth shut, or opening their mouth, or their purse at a particular moment in time.
有人获得授勋是因为想让他们闭嘴别废话；也有人因为发表高见而获授勋；还有人在特殊时期被授勋，这是希望他们慷慨解囊。
Lord Tebbit: Far too many people have been put in here as a sort of personal reward and you wouldn't have imagined Mrs Thatcher, wanting to give a peerage to Denis Thatcher's tailor, or something like that.
谭百德勋爵（保守党成 员）： 这里绝大多数的人都被授予了某种个人荣誉。想当年，咱们的撒切尔夫人，她绝对没可能给他丈夫的裁缝，授个勋、封个爵什么的。
But we've come pretty close to that in recent years
注释： 卡梅伦辞职后，媒体踢爆了一份"首相卸任授勋名单"。卡梅伦老婆的御用造型师的名字，竟赫然在列。
Good morning, my Lord.
早上好，勋爵大人。
Once peers have a seat, it's theirs for life, however long that life might be...
一旦拥有了上议院的席位，便可终生享有。无论此人的一生会有多长。
Lord Carrington just went in there. He is, I believe the eldest peer. 96, almost 97.
卡灵顿勋爵刚刚走了进去。据我所知，他是最年长的勋爵，今年96，马上97了。
Morning!
早上好！
早上好啊，勋爵大人。
Jim Bean: A lot of them, although they are old, they're still fantastic speakers. Their minds are great, they've got a wealth of knowledge and a lifetime of experience.
英国红衣军卫兵： 尽管年事已高，大多数勋爵的发言却依然犀利无比，脑袋瓜相当好使。他们拥有丰富的知识和毕生的经验。
But unfortunately their bodies are going before their minds, so they look a lot more frail than they actually are.
不过可惜的是，他们的身体却追不上他们的头脑。他们看起来羸弱不堪，实际上却强硬着呢。
You don't want to be on the wrong end of a tongue-lashing from some of them. That's for sure.
谁都不想跟他们的意见相左，然后被他们狠狠训斥一顿啊！对此我深有感触。
The majority of lords are over 70, and some are over 90.
大多数勋爵的年龄都超过70，还有不少超过90岁的。
Lord Tyler: It is the best day-care centre for the elderly in London. Families can drop in him or her, make sure that the staff look after them very well.
泰勒勋爵（自由民主党成员）： 这里绝对是全伦敦最棒的老年人看护中心，家人直接把他们丢这儿就行。这里的工作人员，会无微不至照料他们。
There'll be nice meals subsidised by the taxpayer, and they can have a snooze in the chamber in the afternoon, or in the library.
还能享用各种美餐，都是纳税人的钱支付的哦！累了的话，就在议会大厅或是图书馆里午休一下、打个盹儿。
I'll do you a fair exchange. An iPad for a sword.
开始公平交换啦！用iPad换一把利剑。
For five minutes each day, the 21st century is put on hold.
每天的这5分钟内，21世纪从你眼前消失。
Constantly asked whether I'd ever use it on anybody and the answer is... of course I'd think of using it, but only consistent with what the law allows.
一直有人问我，你会不会用这把剑跟人对决啊？我的回答是：我当然想啦！不过没办法，只能按照法律要求的来。
It is a very dangerous weapon. It's extremely sharp on the end of it, and I don't think I'd hesitate if there was some miscreant or delinquent.
这是非常危险的武器，尤其是剑的顶端锋利无比。如果真给我碰上了恶棍贼人，我决不会手下留情的。
Lord Speaker!
上议院议长！
The point of the procession, it marks a transition between the House being used as it was today, probably close to 1,000 tourists...
这项仪式的意义在于，它象征着一种过渡。上议院从一个旅游观光地，差不多要接待1千名游客呢！
My Lords, the Lord Speaker!
各位勋爵，有请上议院议长！
1,000 tourists coming through, and now we're going into serious legislation. The ceremony is just absolutely ridiculous. But having said that, it's like Britain is good at fancy dress. That's what we do!
从1千名游客进来参观。到现在，要进入严肃认真的立法模式。这种仪式也实在太可笑了吧！不过话说回来，咱英国人就喜欢搞这种花里胡哨的制服。就是英国人的日常嘛！
My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, please rise for the Lord Speaker. It should be a special place. It is the country's legislature.
各位勋爵，女士们先生们。请全体起立欢迎议长大人！这是个特别的地方，这里是英国的立法机构。
It's part of the distinctiveness, not just of Parliament, by the way, but of Britain. Part of our identity.
它体现了我们的独特之处。不仅仅是英国议会的独特，更是英国的独特，这就是我们英国人的特质。
It's seven o'clock, on Wednesday the 18th of May. The news headlines: The Queen will set out the government's programme this morning in the traditional speech to Parliament.
现在是2016年5月18日，周三早晨7点。今日的新闻头条：今天一早，女王将公布政府来年的施政纲领，按照传统向议院宣读御座致辞。
Far-reaching changes are proposed to the running of prisons in England. For many staff in the House of Lords, it's the busiest day of the year.
提出各项意义深远的变革，例如英格兰的监狱整改。对于上议院的工作人员来说，这是一整年中最忙碌的一天。
Hopefully, there'll be no parking problems 'cuz nobody should be coming in here to park. I'm saying that now, we've got a police convoy coming in. A bit hectic at the moment.
希望不要出现停车难的问题啊！大家可不是专程赶来这里找停车位的，我正讲着话呢，一支警方护卫车队开过来了。有点儿忙不过来啊！
This is the point where everyone just starts to panic. And phone calls start to come in.
到了这个节骨眼上，所有人都开始慌乱，电话也开始响个不停。
Good morning! Right! Here we are again.
早上好！我们又来啦
Hello, hello, hello.
哈喽~哈喽~
Upstairs, the Lords library has been commandeered as a changing room. You'll have a lot waiting here soon, won't you?
楼上的上议院图书馆被改成了临时更衣室。待会儿你得一直在这里等着，对吧？
Yeah, there'll be a rush. You need to put them on correctly because obviously you want them to go through, and present themselves in the best way possible.
嗯，到时肯定手忙脚乱。你得用正确的方法穿这件长袍。当然啦，毕竟咱们都想穿上它，华丽丽地展现最好的状态。
They're excited and they want the day to be a great success. It's like a sort of prize-giving with knobs on!
大家都超兴奋的，都希望今天大典能圆满成功。有点像参加颁奖典礼啦~ 但比颁奖典礼还夸张！
Hello. Good morning to you.
哈喽~ 早上好啊！
An officer on the active list, you have to wear your number one uniform, a ceremonial day coat, which is all this stuff underneath here, with medals and goodness knows what~ So, lots of bling~ More bling than my wife.
作为活动名单上的议员，我必须穿上这身牛B哄哄的制服，一件长礼服外套，底下还藏了一大堆东西。一堆勋章什么的~ 鬼知道都是些啥。我很bling~bling，比我老婆还bling~bling。
I think the public like to keep some traditions, I think we have to watch them that we don't have too many and they're not those which are so out of date, that the young say, 'for goodness' sake!' or something, probably... slightly less polite.
我感觉英国民众都希望我们保留传统。但我们可得长个心眼儿，也别搞太多传统了。把过于老掉牙的传统，全给淘汰掉。省的被年轻人吐槽：有木有搞错啊？！或者他们会用一些，更污更没礼貌的词。
I am going to get out of my trainers, actually. Just for the day!
我终于要脱掉运动鞋了，只在今天而已！
It's my concession for Her Majesty, you know~
我为了女王陛下而做出的让步，你懂的~
Millions across the country will watch the Queen give her speech from the throne. Scandals may excite the newspapers, but a more fundamental problem lies behind the headlines.
全国各地的数百万人，都将观看女王在御座上发表讲话。报纸媒体最爱各种丑闻爆料了。但在报纸头条的背后，还藏着一个更重大的隐患。
Keith Phipps: We've just had nearly 50 new peers introduced to the House in a very short period. Things are getting tight for seats in the Chamber. So the House now is, it's getting to near bursting point.
门卫长： 最近，咱们上议院在短时间内迎来了50位新议员。议事厅的座位变得越来越拥挤，现在上议院已经临近爆炸状态了。
The more Lords a Prime Minister appoints, the more control they can have. There are now over 800 members.
首相任命的上议院议员人数越多，首相就能拥有更多的控制权。目前，上议院议员已超过800位。
Baroness Boothroys: The government have been very lethargic about the size of the House and reducing it. It's far too large and we've said, we've had many debates, we've had lots of Parliamentary questions about it, and they've simply sat on their hands.
布斯罗德女男爵（中立议员）： 对于上议院人数过于庞大的问题，政府那边一直消极应对、敷衍了事。我们提意见说，这里真的太多人了，也讨论过很多次，还针对这个问题展开过很多议会辩论。但政府的人就坐那儿，完全置之不理。
When the Queen comes to Parliament, it's a scrum. If you tried to organise chaos, you couldn't do it any better than what will actually happen.
等女王抵达国会时才开始真正的大混乱。我也想试着稍微管理一下，最后倒不如随它去了，越管越乱啊~
I was in Prince's Chamber and a peer came up to me with his wife, who had a lovely gown on, a lovely tiara and said: 'Mr Phipps, you'll find my wife a seat, won't you?'
我当时在王子厅里，有个议员带着他老婆跑来找我。他老婆穿一身超美的晚装，戴着皇冠头饰。他对我说："费普斯先生，你给我老婆找个座位吧？"
And just walked away and left Her Ladyship with me. We managed to find her a seat, you know. So things like that happen, yep. But it's fantastic. It's tradition. And umm... Long may it continue.
然后就径直走开了！丢下他的夫人跟我一起！最后，我只能想方设法帮他老婆找到座位。这种情况经常发生。但也挺不错的，毕竟是传统嘛。祝愿传统永存~
I find the Queen's Speech a complete distraction and a complete irrelevance. One person won't be getting dressed up for Her Majesty. Labour peer Lord Foulkes.
在我看来，女王致辞完全是个大干扰，跟咱一点儿关系也没有。这位议员，拒绝为女王陛下盛装打扮，他是工党的福克斯勋爵。
It's a waste of time, a waste of money. Good morning, I take people round and they say: 'What a wonderful place!' And I say, 'It's not a good place to work in!' It's a royal palace. It's not a real parliament, and the worst time of all is when we get to the Queen's Speech!
这就是浪费时间，浪费金钱。早上好！我带人过来参观，他们都惊叹："这也实在太美了吧！"我回答："这可不是个好的工作场所啊！"这就是一座皇宫嘛，根本不是真正的国会大楼。而最糟糕、最可怕的就是，每年的女王致辞时间！
Everything takes over for the State Opening. We have canopies outside, the lampposts get taken away, the crossing that I came across disappears, so that the Queen's carriage can arrive, and everything is under control of the, of Black Rod and his men.
一切都得为国会大典开道，大厦外围安装了遮篷、街灯一个个被移走。我常走的那条人行横道，莫名其妙消失，都是在给女王的马车开道啊！一切全都在掌控在黑杖和他的部下手中。
Got to clean these shoes up. The Queen would notice immediately if they were grubby. Just a bit of ordinary household polish and it works marvellously on these shoes, brings them up.
得把我的皮鞋给擦亮了，如果它们脏脏的 ，女王一眼就能发现。来个普通居家式的抛光，我这手法太适合擦这双鞋了，擦完亮闪闪~
Not all men are keen on wearing diamante buckles on their slippers. You'd... I've spoken to some chaps who think it's a bit feminine. But it's just a uniform, so you don't notice. There we are. Wonderful.
不是所有男人都喜欢穿这种镶水钻搭扣的皮鞋啦！我跟一些小伙伴们聊起过。他们都说这有点娘炮，这不过是制服而已啦，所以无所谓的。搞定~棒棒哒！
It's not the normal uniform day, no. It's one of those days where it's full uniform, so medals and decorations, if you've got any.
今天不是一个普通的制服日，而是必须穿上完完整整的全套制服，获得的所有荣誉勋章，也都必须戴上。
And the Black Rod chain of office, which is there. A ceremonial sword today, so one up from the ordinary sword. And, obviously, you have to carry the Black Rod. If I turn up at the House of Commons without the Black Rod, I don't go with the sovereign's authority and they'll send me away.
黑杖任职金链~在这儿呢。今天大典要用的礼仪剑，比普通剑高了一个档次。当然啦！还必须随身带我的黑檀木杖。如果我忘记带黑杖，就跑去了下议院...那我就没有女王授予的权力。下议院那帮人就会把我赶走。
It's happened before. 1624, I think it was. In a couple of hours, the Queen will be here. Right, we need to get on.
这事以前还真发生过，我记得是在1624年吧。几个小时以内，女王陛下就会驾到。好了，得把事情处理完。
Black Rod and his sidekick, the Yeoman Usher make a last-minute tour of the building. The key thing about this walk round this morning...of course it's looking to make sure that everything's in order, but it's more to thank people for the efforts that they've made.
黑杖大人和他的小助手，黑杖礼仪士进行最后一次国会大楼的巡视。今早咱俩四处走动，最主要的目的，当然就是为了确保一切顺利进行啦。不过更重要的，也是感谢大家付出的努力。
Are you responsible for this?
这归你管嘛？
I'm not responsible for the gantry...But I... I can get in touch with somebody.
这些架子不归我管的，但是我能联系到管理员。
And say they can't have it there, it's in the way of the troops.
那你跟他说，这不能出现在这儿，挡着皇家军队的路了。
Right.
好的。
It's got to be on the pavement, on the corner of the pavement. And if so, we need to move the barriers back but it's got to be, it's got to be on the pavement.
只能放到人行道的角落里去，那么咱们还得把路障弄回来，但这个放在人行道上。
OK.
好的。
Thanks.
谢谢。
He's known as 'His Darkness' and the Yeoman Usher is known as the 'Semi Darkness'
他就是著名的"黑暗大人"啊。而他那位小助理，江湖人称"半黑暗大人"。
Does he know that?
他知道这些称呼嘛？
Probably not, but he probably will do now. On Queen's Speech Day, it's just an hour before she arrives.
应该不知道，但播出后估计就知道了。今天是女王致辞日，在短短1小时内，女王便将抵达。
The Queen's bodyguard will turn to the left in five! Left! Turn! Slow... march!
女王陛下的众卫兵听令！5秒后向左转！向左~转！缓慢...前进！
The Yeoman of the Guard are about to check the palace cellars for gunpowder.
皇室卫队将对宫殿地窖展开巡视，检查有无火药残留。
注释： 1605年，一群天主教极端分子企图在地窖放置炸药，密谋杀害信奉新教的英皇詹姆士一世。阴谋最终被及时捣毁，从此以后，巡察地窖成了每届大典前的象征性工作。
It's a tradition that dates back to 1605 when Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the House of Lords. They have made their report to Black Rod that the basements are now clear for Her Majesty to attend.
这项传统，最早可追溯到1605年。当年，盖伊·福克斯企图炸掉国会大厦。皇家卫队向黑杖大人做了汇报，地下室现已安全，女王陛下可放心参加典礼。
Then it is on with part two of the State Opening of Parliament. It's just an ordinary day...unfortunately interrupted by this procession and panoply and ceremony, which makes it a little bit more difficult, but it doesn't stop us getting on with the normal business.
此时，国会开幕大典的第二部分正式开启，这只是普通的一天。不幸的是，却被这种仪式给搅乱了。盛装打扮，壮观隆重。确实是挺麻烦的，不过这可阻止不了咱几位，继续过平常的日子。
A proud Scot, Lord Foulkes is upset that the Lords doesn't fairly represent the country as a whole. I'm tabling a question about the imbalance of membership of the House of Lords, with nearly half of them coming from London.
作为骄傲的苏格兰人，福克斯勋爵有些黯然神伤。上议院议员无法公平地代表整个国家，我起草了一个关于上议院成员不均衡分配的问题。其中近一半人都是来自伦敦。
So I've got a question to ask Her Majesty's Government, what plans they have to make the composition of the House of Lords, more representative of the nations and regions of the United Kingdom?
因此，我要问问女王陛下的政府，他们究竟打算如何做，才能让上议院的议员构成变得更具代表性？更能代表英国各大构成国和各地区？
Once we've finished here, I'm going to go upstairs and use a bit of the library that isn't being used as a changing room today, and catch up with my e-mail. But he will have to bide his time.
等我这里结束后，我就会上楼，找个没被改造成更衣室的图书馆，查收一下电子邮件。然而他只能耐心等待一下啦。
The Queen has now entered the building and the whole palace is in lock-down. Some people come out of the woodwork wearing these great outfits looking like playing cards, carrying swords.
女王陛下已经抵达国会大楼，整座大厦都被封锁。某些人突然就冒出来了，身穿华丽丽的制服。搞得跟扑克牌里的小人似的，还揣着宝剑。
I feel sorry for the Queen! With that crown which must be heavy on her head.
真替女王感到难过呢！毕竟欲戴王冠，必承其重嘛~
My Lords, pray be seated.
诸卿，就坐如次。
That one day a year, where we put on the red robes, we are part of that 800-year tradition and it gives us that perspective back in history.
每年这一天，我们都得穿上红色长袍，成为800年传统的一部分。这也带领我们一起回看历史。
We're here in the Central Lobby. Quick march! Make way for Black Rod!
这里是中央大厅。快步前进！为黑杖大人让道！
Some people don't like the robe. I think that's pathetic and silly.
有些人不喜欢这种长袍，觉得实在太可笑，愚蠢到不行。
Lock the doors!
关闭大门！
The most important bit of the ceremony, the bit that would take 10,000 words to write is Black Rod hammering on the door of the Commons.
典礼中最为寓意深远的一幕，用1万字写长篇大论都不为过的一幕便是黑杖以其权杖，用力敲打下议院的大门。
Black Rod, open the door!
黑杖~ 打开大门！
The symbolism of him tapping on the door and them slamming it in his face is what our Constitution is all about. The supremacy of the Commons not having to obey the sovereign, or the Lords.
用象征皇权的黑杖敲打大门。因为他被下议院重重摔门，关在门外。这就是我们英国宪法精神的所在，下议院的至高无上。下议院议事，绝不允许皇室和上议院干预。
But at the end of the day, out of courtesy coming along to hear what is said.
不过到头来，为了表现咱们有礼貌，就还是过去一下，听听你们要说啥吧。
Black Rod, open the doors! Black Rod! The Queen commands this Honourable House to attend Her Majesty immediately in the House of Peers.
黑杖~ 打开大门！黑杖大人！女王现谕示本院众位议员阁下，即刻前往上议院觐见！
MPs are summoned to the Lords to hear the Government's plans for the coming year. A standout moment will be the promised Brexit referendum：My Lords and members of the House of Commons, my government will hold a referendum on membership of the European Union.
接到指示的众议员前往上议院，听取政府来年的施政大纲。其中最为醒目的便是政府承诺的脱欧公投。各位上下议院的议员们，我的政府将就欧盟成员国的问题，举行全民公投。
Proposals will be brought forward for a British bill of rights. My ministers will uphold the sovereignty of Parliament and the primacy of the House of Commons.
我们将会提出英国人权法案，我的大臣们将竭力维护议会主权以及至高无上的下议院权力。
We'll wait for the Queen to get back onto the carriage again and drop-off at the palace. This is the best job! We get tea and biscuits.
我们在等女王出来，重新坐进她的马车，再把她送回白金汉宫。这是全天下最棒的工作！有免费的茶喝，还有小饼干。
He's quite young. He's seven. And she's very old, so she's looking after him. She's very, very good, she is. We just keep him occupied with lots of mints.
它的年纪很小，才7岁。这匹马年纪很大，一直是它照看同伴。它特别特别好，真的~为了不让它闲着无聊。得给它吃很多薄荷糖。
David Watkinson: I haven't been anywhere else. I've stayed here and watched the whole thing. It's very impressive to watch the coaches and the horses and the people. The Queen's coming out in a moment.
维修人员： 我没去其他地方，就一直在这待着没走，从头到尾看完整场。光看着这些马匹、驯马师和来来往往的人，就已经很震撼了。女王一会儿也要出来了。
They think she's coming out now. She was in very good spirits. She was chuckling, I would say. I'm going to go and have some refreshments and then lunch.
据说，她马上就要出来了。女王大人精神矍铄，我感觉她一直在笑。现在我要去享受一些小茶点了，然后吃午餐。
