英國王室公布了2016年收到的禮物清單，從腌香腸、辣椒、石榴到杯子、靠墊套、襪子，可謂五花八門、應有盡有。給王室送禮的確是件難辦的事兒，送的太貴重或者太廉價都不太合適，似乎也只能想一些「另類」的招數了。下面來看看去年英國王室都收哪些令人啼笑皆非的禮物吧。
The weird, wonderful, and occasionally mundane gifts showered upon the Royal Family have been revealed in an official list published today - and Prince Charles and Camilla received their fair share as they undertook three official tours in 2016.英國王室收到的官方禮物清單今日被公之於眾，這些禮物有的奇葩、有的精美，還有個別平淡無奇。查爾斯王子和卡米拉王妃去年進行了三次正式訪問，因此收到了不少禮物。
Some of the most unusual presents they received included cushion covers, swords, socks, goblets, cured sausage meats, and even ergonomic crayons.他們收到的最不尋常的禮物包括墊子套、劍、襪子、酒杯、腌香腸，甚至還有人體工程學蠟筆。
King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and his family are far from strangers to the British royals.巴林國王哈馬德及其家人和英國王室相熟已久。
In 2012, critics denounced Sophie Wessex, Prince Andrew's wife, for accepting two sets of jewels from the Arabian royals.2012年，批評人士譴責安德烈王子的妻子蘇菲•威塞克斯接受了巴林王室贈予的兩套珠寶。
The Bahraini government has strongly denied these claims but controversy continues to surround the royals' relationship.巴林政府強烈否認這些說法，但圍繞王室關係的爭議仍在繼續。
Official gifts, declared annually in a list, can be worn and used, but are not considered the royals' personal property and they do not pay tax on them.官方禮品清單每年都會公之於眾，這些禮品可以佩戴和使用，但不能視為王室的私人財產而王室不需要為此納稅。
They cannot be sold or exchanged and eventually become part of the Royal Collection, which is held in trust by the Queen for her successors and the nation.王室不能出售或交換禮物，最終將成為皇家藏品的一部分。皇家藏品是女王為其繼承者和國家所託管的藏品。
