凯特王妃送女王什么圣诞礼物？竟是自制酸辣酱！

Kate Middleton Gave the Best Homemade Gift to the Queen During Their First Christmas.

凯特·米德尔顿在与女王共度的第一个圣诞节时，给了她一份最好的手工制作的礼物

Picture this: You're spending Christmas at the Queen's house (sorry, castle) and suddenly it's time to exchange presents. WHAT DO YOU DO?

画面是这样：你在女王的家里（不好意思，是城堡）过圣诞节，然后突然到了交换礼物的时刻。你会做些什么呢？

If you're Kate Middleton, you whip up a quick "marrow chutney." Which, apparently, took hours to make, and is what the Duchess gave her grandmother-in-law during their first holiday together.

如果你是凯特·米德尔顿，你就会打开通过好几个小时烹制而成的精品速食酸辣酱。这还是公爵夫人在与她的祖婆婆一起度过的第一个节日时做的。

"She really cares," Kate told ITV last year. "I can remember being at Sandringham, for the first time, at Christmas. And I was worried what to give the Queen as her Christmas present.

去年凯特接受ITV的采访时说，“她真的很在意，我还能记得在桑德灵厄姆度过的第一个圣诞节。那时，我很忧愁我该送给女王什么样的圣诞礼物。”

I was thinking, 'Gosh, what should I give her?' I thought back to what I would give my own grandparents. And I thought, 'I'll make her something.' Which could have gone horribly wrong. But I decided to make my granny's recipe of chutney."

“我正思考着，‘天啊，我应该给她什么呢？’我回想起我给我自己的爷爷奶奶送的礼物。然后，我想到了，‘我可以给她亲手做一些什么。’这可能不是很正确的选择。但是我还是决定做我奶奶特制的酸辣酱。”

She continued, "I was slightly worried about it, but I noticed the next day that it was on the table. I think such a simple gesture went such a long way for me and I've noticed since she's done that on lots of occasions and I think it just shows her thoughtfulness, really, and her care in looking after everybody."

她继续说，“我还是有点担心，但是第二天我注意到酸辣酱放在了桌子上，这样一个简单的举动让我长舒了一口气。接着，我注意到在很多场合她都拿出了酸辣酱，我想这是她在向我表示她的感谢，真的，她在照顾着每一个人。”

Meghan Markle should probably keep this in mind, given that her first Christmas with the Queen is right around the corner

梅根·马克尔可能应该把这个记在心里，这样才能在即将到来的圣诞节上给女王送好第一个圣诞节礼物。
