英女王走了，她的柯基怎么办？葬礼上这一幕让人看破防了...

The Queen also loved her beloved dogs, too, and corgisSandy and Muick were pictured in attendance outside at Windsor.

女王也很喜欢她的爱犬，照片中的柯基犬桑迪和穆克被拍到在温莎城堡外出席女王葬礼。

The young dogs - one on a red lead and one on a blue lead - were broughtout into the quadrangle by two pages in red tailcoats for the arrival of the coffin.

这两只小狗狗——一只用红色的绳子牵着，一只用蓝色的绳子牵着——被两个穿着红色燕尾服的工作人员带到了庭院，以迎接灵柩的到来。

有外媒拍下这一幕，柯基卧在城堡外，目送送葬队伍面露悲伤。

很多人都知道，女王以爱狗而闻名，一生一共养过30多只柯基犬。无论她走到哪里，总有一群狗在她前面小跑，戴安娜王妃曾称它们是“移动的地毯”。

如今女王走了，柯基犬再也等不到女王牵着它们散步了，今后会有谁来照顾，成了不少人关心的问题。

对于女王来说，她对柯基犬的热情可以追溯到她的童年。

At a very young age, she and her sister Princess Margaret fell in love with the corgis owned by the children of the Marquess of Bath.

在她很小的时候，她和她的姐姐玛格丽特公主就爱上了巴斯侯爵夫人的孩子们拥有的柯基犬。

In 1933, when Her Majesty was seven years old, her father King George VI brought home Dookie, a Pembrokeshire Welsh corgi.

1933年，当女王陛下7岁的时候，她的父亲乔治六世国王把一条彭布罗克郡的威尔士柯基犬杜基带回家。

Legend has it The Queen and Princess Margaret chose Dookie from a litter of three, remarking that his long tail would help them see whether he was pleased or not.

传说中，女王和玛格丽特公主从一窝三只中选择了杜基，说它的长尾巴可以让他们看到它是否高兴。

Dookie’s unusual name came from the original owner, Thelma Gray, who took to calling the pup ‘the Duke’ once he had been selected to join theRoyal Family.

杜基这个不寻常的名字来自于它的原主人塞尔玛·格雷，它被选中加入皇室之后，她就开始叫它“公爵”。

On her 18th birthday in 1944, the queen was given a Pembroke Welsh corgi puppy named Susan, who would become the royal’s faithful companion through some of her life’s biggest milestones.

1944年女王18岁生日时，她得到了一只名叫苏珊的彭布罗克威尔士柯基犬，那时的它将成为女王的忠实伴侣，经历她生命中的一些重要里程碑。

Susan accompanied the royal for her coronation, wedding and even on her honeymoon with Prince Philip.

苏珊陪伴着女王参加了她的加冕仪式、婚礼，甚至和她与菲利普亲王一起度了蜜月。

The queen went on to breed Susan with a dog called Rozavel Lucky Strike, delivering her first litter in 1949.

女王后来将苏珊与一只叫Rozavel Lucky Strike的狗进行了配种，苏珊在1949年产下了第一胎。

Her offspringbegan the royal family’s “dog dynasty” — most of the dogs the royal has owned since are descendants of her beloved Susan, who died in 1959 at almost 15.

她的后代开始了皇室的“狗狗王朝”——皇室此后拥有的大多数狗都是女王心爱的苏珊的后代，苏珊在1959年去世时年近15岁。

女王究竟有多爱她的柯基宝贝们呢？

In a 2013 book called “Royal Pets by Appointment” by Brian Hoey, it was revealed the queen’s corgis were treated just as preciously as you’d expect.

在2013年布莱恩·霍伊写的一本名为《王室宠物》的书中，披露了女王的柯基犬受到的珍视，正如你所想到的那样。

Hoey wrote the dogs were served dinner at 5 p.m. every night, dining on chef-made meals, such as filet steak and chicken breast, that were fit for a king or queen.

霍伊写道，这些狗每天下午5点都会被送上晚餐，吃的是厨师做的饭菜，如菲力牛排和鸡胸肉，这些都是国王或女王的御用食物。

The queen reportedly fed the dogs herself on occasion, with the book’s author saying she sometimes lovingly drizzled gravy over their food for them.

据报道，女王有时会亲自喂狗，书中的作者说她有时会充满爱心地把肉汁淋在狗的食物上。

1991年，为了劝阻自己的6只柯基犬不要与王太后的2只柯基犬打架，女王的左手被咬伤，缝了3针。

但王室的其他成员对这些闹腾的小家伙颇有微词。比如，威廉王子和哈里王子曾先后在采访中抱怨：“他们总是没完没了地叫！”

菲利普亲王有时候也会发脾气抱怨：“该死的狗！你为什么要养这么多？”

世上狗狗千千万，为什么女王独宠柯基？

According to royal confidantes, the queen preferred corgis to other dog breeds because of their energy and untamed spirit.

据王室亲信透露，女王喜欢柯基犬胜过其他品种的狗，因为它们精力充沛，性情倔强。

欲戴王冠，必承其重。从女王26岁即位那一刻起，她成了全英国最尊贵的人，但也是最孤独的人。在某些场合，柯基们的陪伴让她更加放松。

According tothe Express, when feeling overwhelmed, the queen coped by reaching down to feed her corgis under the table.They were also seen as a way for her to break the ice when she met new people.

据《快报》报道，当感到不知所措时，女王通过伸手在桌下喂她的柯基犬来应对。它们也被视为她遇到新朋友时打破僵局的一种方式。

女王宠爱柯基的形象也是深入人心，甚至还成为在影视剧中。

比如，2003年，憨豆先生主演的喜剧电影《凸捶特派员》（Johnny English）中就有这样一幕：恐怖分子用枪要胁女王签字放弃王位，女王一口回绝：“休想！”但是当他们把枪指向女王的爱犬时，女王立即乖乖妥协签字！

还有一部动画片叫做：《女王的柯基》（The Queen's Corgi），大家感兴趣的可以去看看。

电影的主角是一只叫 雷克斯的柯基犬，它因备受女王宠爱而成为“首席狗狗”，在白金汉宫享受着无忧无虑的奢侈生活。然而有一次，在不小心大闹女王与特朗普的国宴后，雷克斯生平第一次被女王狠狠训斥，而后又遭遇同伴的背叛不慎“流落民间”，在重返皇宫的过程中，与同伴展开了一场超越自我的大冒险。

2015年，苏珊的最后一代柯基犬离世。也是从这一年开始，女王宣布将不再饲养其他的柯基。也是担心万一自己哪天不在了，柯基们没有主人照顾。

The queen stopped breeding dogs as she reached her 90s,but 14 generations of Susan’s descendantslived with the queen until her last corgi Willow died in 2015.

女王在90多岁时停止了养狗，但苏珊的14代后裔与女王生活在一起，直到她的最后一只柯基犬威洛在2015年去世。

According to reports, thequeen was hit particularly hard by Willow’s death, as it was the end of Susan’s lineage.

据报道，威洛的死亡对女王打击特别大，因为这是苏珊血统的结束。

柯基也为女王的晚年生活带来很多快乐和温暖，尤其是菲利普亲王于2021年逝世后，是柯基们帮助她度过丧夫之痛。

When Prince Philip died in April 2021, she reportedly turned to her faithful companions for comfort and was even given two new corgi pups to help her grieve.

据报道，当菲利普亲王于2021年4月去世时，她向她忠实的伙伴们寻求安慰，甚至得到了两只新的柯基犬幼崽来帮助她走出悲伤的情绪。

现在女王也走了，留下了两只柯基犬、一只多吉犬和一只可卡犬。

据了解，安德鲁王子和他的前妻会照顾这两只柯基，另外两只狗的归宿目前还不是很清楚。

No doubt the pups are grieving her loss too. As Her Royal Highness once said: “My corgis are family.”

毫无疑问，小狗们也在为她的离去感到悲痛。正如女王殿下曾经说过的那样：“我的柯基犬是家人。”
