She can imitate the sound of a Concorde jet landing.

女王殿下的幽默感和模仿天赋似乎不错。据美联社报道，女王的牧师迈克尔•曼主教曾说：“女王模仿协和式客机降落是你能看到的最有趣的事情之一。”

She once trolled a group of tourists who didn't recognize her.
女王曾戏弄一群没认出她的游客。

Maybe she's stony-faced in most photos, but the queen really does have a fun side. One of the queen's former security guards recalled a time when a group of tourists at Balmoral Estate didn't recognize the monarch, who was wearing a head scarf at the time.
也许在大多数照片中女王都板着一副面孔，但她确实也有风趣的一面。据女王的前任安保人员回忆，有一次巴尔莫勒尔庄园的游客没有认出戴着头巾的女王。

The queen's official title is "Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and of her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith." No last name needed.

She has a poet who's paid in alcohol.
女王有一位诗人，她支付的报酬是酒。

Elizabeth gets to appoint the UK's poet laureate, and in 2009, she tapped Scottish poet Carol Ann Duffy for the position. She's the first woman to get to honor since it was created 350 years ago. The poet laureate is traditionally paid with a yearly salary of £5,750 (about $7,000) plus an entire barrel of sherry.
女王2009年提名苏格兰诗人罗尔•安•达菲成为英国桂冠诗人。达菲是自这项荣誉诞生350年以来第一个获此殊荣的女性。桂冠诗人一般年薪为5750英镑再加满满一桶雪莉酒。

Hey, being the queen has to come with some perks.

女王似乎并没有滥用过这项权力。但是，英国王室网站上的一份声明写道，“虽然不能对女王提起民事和刑事诉讼……但女王以个人身份进行任何活动时都非常注意确保严格遵守法律。”
