3. Keep me updated
这并不是一个习语，却是一个很有趣的表达法，当你要求某人把某事发展的最新情况告诉你时，就可以说"Keep me updated"。
大家记不记得当你在网上购买一个软件，或是安装一些免费软件的时候，安装的过程中常会有这样的提示：If you would like us to keep you updated on our latest News and Offers, please complete the form below. 这里的keep you updated 也是同样的用法。
4. Kick the bucket
这个俚语应该大家都不陌生，就是"死"的意思，大概相当于我们汉语中的"翘辫子"，例如：His children were greedily waiting for him to kick the bucket.
5. HRH
Her (or His) Royal Highness 的缩写，这是对皇家成员的专属称谓。

The Queen: story behind the movie

Elizabeth II

The British prime minister and the Royal Family find themselves quietly at odds in the wake of a national tragedy in this drama from director Stephen Frears. On August 31, 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales died in an auto accident in Paris; despite the controversial breakup of her marriage to Prince Charles, she was still one of the most famous and best-loved women in the world, and the public outpouring of emotion over her passing was immediate and intense. However, given the messy circumstances of Diana's breakup with Charles, official spokespeople for the Royal Family were uncertain about how to publicly address her passing. It didn't take long for the media to pick up on the hesitation of Buckingham Palace to pay homage to Diana, and many saw this as a sign of the cool emotional distance so often attributed to the royals, which in this case was widely seen as an insult against Diana and the many people who loved her. Prime Minister Tony Blair (played by Michael Sheen) saw a potential public-relations disaster in the making, and took it upon himself to persuade Queen Elizabeth II (played by Helen Mirren) to make a statement in tribute to the fallen Diana -- an action that went against the taciturn queen's usual nature. The Queen was released the same year that Helen Mirren played Queen Elizabeth I in an acclaimed miniseries for British television; The Queen also gave Michael Sheen his second opportunity to play Tony Blair after portraying the prime minister in the television film The Deal.
