英國王室寶寶誕生 全世界瘋狂猜名

James, George or Alexander: Potential royal baby names for Prince of Cambridge.
皇室寶寶劍橋王子最有可能的三個名字：詹姆斯、喬治、亞歷山大。

Speculation has been swirling about the name, though many agree it will be a traditional or family name. Topping the list of rumored boy names have been James, George or Alexander.
儘管許多人都同意寶寶的名字會遵循傳統或來源於家人，但仍然還有很多關於它的推測。現在看來，三大最有可能的名字是詹姆斯、喬治和亞歷山大。

According to , the name James means “supplanter,” or one who takes the place of, or removes through force or strategy. Since the baby will be taking Prince Harry’s spot as third in line, and will subsequently bump the whole succession down, the definition would be fitting in a literal sense. It conjures the memory of James I of Scotland, who was known as a patron of the arts and a poet.
據網站，“詹姆斯”的意思是“取代者”，或是通過武力、計策等代替他人地位的人。皇室寶寶出生後不但獲得原屬哈里王子王位第三順位繼承人的席位，還會最終將這一席位傳到下一代。從這個角度看，“詹姆斯”的含義的確很符合實際情況。而且還會使人想起蘇格蘭詹姆斯一世，他不僅是一名國王，還是一位藝術贊助者、一位詩人。

Catherine’s brother’s name is also James William Middleton.
凱特王妃的弟弟也叫做詹姆斯·威廉·米德爾頓。

George, on the other hand, means “farmer,” or “earth worker,” from Old French and Latin words of “work” and “earth.” St. George is known as the patron saint of England. He was thought to have been born into a Christian family and became an early martyr when the Emperor Diocletian ordered the persecution of Christians. The name became popular as King George I ascended the throne in 1714.
而“喬治”則有“農夫”、“土地工人”的含義，這個詞來源於古代法語和拉丁語，意思是“工作”和“大地”。聖喬治是英格蘭的保護神，人們認爲他出生於基督教家庭，在戴克裏先大帝下令迫害基督教徒後，他成爲英年早逝的勇士。1714年喬治一世加冕稱王后，這個名字漸漸流行起來。

Alexander is perhaps the boldest choice of the three, meaning “to defend” or “warrior.” The name is most often linked to Alexander the Great. Alexander II and his son, Alexander III, were both powerful kings of Scottland in the thirteen century.
“亞歷山大”是三個名字中最有攻擊性的，意思是“保衛”或“鬥士”。這個名字讓人聯想起亞歷山大大帝。亞歷山大二世和他的兒子亞歷山大三世都是十三世紀蘇格蘭最強大的國王。

As royal baby mania grips the world, bookies have been going into overdrive with punters desperately guessing the new heir's name.
皇室寶寶的出生讓全世界都爲之瘋狂。還有很多賭徒都開始爲猜測寶寶的名字而設下賭局。
