英女王亲民访闹市 小伙“胆肥”欲自拍

 　　It is not every day you get a chance to see the Queen of England so when you do, the pressure is on to find a way to remember it forever.

　　For a 14-year-old quick-thinking boy in Belfast, Ireland, that way was to snap¹ a selfie with the very unsuspecting Queen Elizabeth II.

　　The boy, identified by ITV as Jack² Surgenor, was in the crowd while the queen and her husband, Prince Philip, were visiting St. George’s Market in Belfast Tuesday, part of their three-day tour of Northern Ireland.

　　Jack was one of hundreds in the crowd surrounding the queen as she made her way through the market when he got close enough to hold his iPhone in front of the queen. He then quickly turned around to include himself in the shot, too.

　　The ITV reporter who captured³ the moment, royal editor Tim Ewart, described the 88-year-old monarch⁴ as appearing “bemused” at the antics of her 14-year-old fan.

　　The selfie photo was the queen’s second run-in with pop culture that day. Earlier, she and Philip visited the Belfast set where the HBO hit series “Game of Thrones” is filmed.

　　日前，88岁的英国女王伊丽莎白二世和其丈夫菲利普亲王共同出访北爱尔兰，进行为期三天的短期访问。当女王在人群簇拥下亮相位于贝尔法斯特的圣乔治市场时，一名大胆的小伙竟试图举起手机与女王自拍。

　　据报道，在北爱尔兰访问的第二天，英国女王伊丽莎白二世一袭柠檬黄长外套搭配一顶礼帽，饶有兴致地逛起了圣乔治市场，不时与摊主亲切攀谈。令人意外的是，人群中一名年轻男子竟大胆举起手机试图与女王合影留念，在被安保人员喝令走开后，仍镇定地尝试第二次自拍。实在是“胆肥”！从照片可以看出，女王对该少年此举表现得十分困惑不解。
