In the spring of 1911 King George called Edward into his room and said:
1911年春天，喬治國(guó)王把愛(ài)德華叫到自己的房間，說(shuō)：
'Next month I'll make you Prince of Wales and these are your clothes for the ceremony.'
“下個(gè)月我要封你為威爾士親王，這是你要在典禮上穿的衣服。”
The King opened a small cupboard and Edward started to cry.'But father，'he said, 'I'm sixteenyears old now. I can't wear soft shoes and a skirt. I'll look like a girl. Why can't I dress like otherpeople?'
國(guó)王打開(kāi)一個(gè)小柜子，愛(ài)德華哭了起來(lái)。“可是父親，”他說(shuō)，“我現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)16歲了。我不能穿軟鞋和裙子。那會(huì)使我看上去像個(gè)女孩子。為什么我不能穿得像其他人一樣?”
'Because you're different and special，'his father replied，'and one day you'll be King.'
“因?yàn)槟愫退麄儾灰粯?，你是特別的，”他的父親回答，“有朝一日你會(huì)成為國(guó)王。”
Edward cried for the next two days， but there was noth-ing he could do.
接下來(lái)的兩天，愛(ài)德華哭個(gè)不停，但他沒(méi)有辦法。
And so， on 10th June 1911， the family drove to Caernar-von Castle in North Wales and theceremony began.
就這樣，1911年6月10日，王室成員驅(qū)車前往北威爾士的卡那封城堡，典禮開(kāi)始了。
The King put a small gold crown on Edward's head.There was music and dancing and the crowdbegan to shout.
國(guó)王把一頂小號(hào)的金冠戴在愛(ài)德華的頭上。現(xiàn)場(chǎng)有音樂(lè)和舞蹈，人群歡呼起來(lái)。
The new Prince of Wales closed his eyes.'I feel terrible,' he said.'Can we go home now?'
而新封的威爾士親王卻閉上了眼睛。“我覺(jué)得很難受，”他說(shuō)，“現(xiàn)在我們可以回家了嗎?”
'Not yet,' the King replied.'The people want to see you.
“還不能，”國(guó)王回答，“人們想看看你。”
Edward walked to the front of the castle and looked down at the crowd.He was shaking and hisface was red.
愛(ài)德華走到城堡前部，俯視人群。他渾身顫抖，臉漲得通紅。
'Smile， Edward，'the King said.'You are happy!'
“笑一笑，愛(ài)德華，”國(guó)王說(shuō)，“你應(yīng)該高興!”
A few hours later the family were driving back to Windsor. 'Wasn't that a lovely day!'Queen Marysaid.
幾小時(shí)后，全家人驅(qū)車回到溫莎。“多么愉快的一天呀!”瑪麗王后說(shuō)。
Edward took off his shoes and looked out of the window. 'Never again,' he thought. 'Never again!'
愛(ài)德華脫下鞋子，向窗外望去。“我再也不要這樣了，”他想，“永遠(yuǎn)不!”
