Today's key word is Tiara
Tiara T-i-a-r-a
皇冠 头冠
It is a crown-like jewelled(珠宝装饰的) headdress worn by women on formal occasions.
Here is an example
The bride wore a diamond tiara in the wedding like a princess.
新娘在她婚礼的时候带了一顶钻石皇冠,像个公主一样。
说到皇冠tiara,
几乎每个女孩多梦想过自己带着美丽的皇冠
成为某个人的公主。
But 全球看一遍,皇冠带的最多的人应该就是英国女王了。
Her Majesty's tiaras are at the heart of her jewellerycollection珠宝收藏.
She has so many tiaras, they have to be stored in a room the size of an ice rink溜冰场.
女王的皇冠们就静静的躺在伯明翰宫地下12米的储藏间里,等着哪天女王来翻牌子。
辣么,女王到底有哪些皇冠呢,
我们一起来羡慕一下。

First of all, a ruby tiara from Queen mother.
这个红宝石皇冠是女王的妈妈留下的。
The Queen has worn this tiara only once, on a state visit to Malta in 2005.
It was designed by Prince Albert for his new wife Queen Victoria. The tiara is huge, containing more than 2,600 diamonds and 11 rubies.
价值大概75万人民币。
这还不算贵的呢。
女王结婚的时候,印度的一位君主送给她一个镶有1033颗钻石的皇冠,别看钻石数量不如第一个多,但是质量好啊。
The tiara, which cost £5,000 in 1947 (equivalent to £189,000 today)。
折合人民币大概190万左右。
而且,这位印度土豪was not invited to the wedding.
婚礼都没邀请他,还这么大方。
有钱,任性啊。
据说,这个皇冠后来坏掉了,上面的钻石被用来做新的皇冠了。
除了单个皇冠之外,
女王还有几个首饰套装。
For example, this sapphire collection.
蓝宝石首饰套装
The Queen's sapphire collection is one of her most glittering闪闪发光的, containing seven priceless pieces, including a necklace, bracelet, earrings and three rings.
这个也是人家祖上留下来的。
数来数去,女王大部分珠宝都是祖上传下来的,她自己买的不多。
但这一件是她自己买哒。
It's one of only a few pieces of jewellery she hasn't inherited, so the tiara is thought to reflect her personal style.
96 颗来自缅甸的红宝石加上之前印度人送的皇冠上的钻石。红色的宝石聚在一起,像开在星星里的玫瑰花。女王的品味还不错。
除了我们提到的这几个之外,女王还有好多好多皇冠。带了这么多年皇冠,别人都要小心翼翼。
可是女王is the only person who can put on a tiara with one hand, while walking down stairs.'
每个女孩都有公主梦,有没有想过给自己也买一顶tiara呢?男童鞋们有没有送过tiara给女孩呢?
