Undoubtedly one of the cutest couples on the planet, Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth have been married for nearly 70 years.
已經結婚近70年的菲利普親王和伊麗莎白女王無疑是世界上最可愛的夫婦。

Through thick and thin, the royal pair have stuck by each other's sides. While the two are notoriously private about their life behind closed doors -- they rarely show displays of affection in public -- one adorable detail about their relationship will melt your heart.
無論風霜雨雪,這對王室夫婦始終站在彼此身邊。雖然兩個人對私生活一向是守口如瓶,也鮮少在公衆面前流露感情,但有個和兩人感情有關的可愛細節會融化你的心。

女王的暱稱是捲心菜?說說名人們的有趣暱稱

Just like any couple, the Duke of Edinburgh and Her Majesty have cute nicknames for each other. In the 2006 film "The Queen," the actor who plays Prince Philip calls his wife Queen Elizabeth "cabbage." Yes, cabbage. Who knew vegetables could be so endearing?
和其他夫妻一樣,菲利普親王(愛丁堡公爵)和英國女王彼此都有可愛的暱稱。2006年的電影《女王》中,飾演菲利普親王的演員稱呼自己的妻子伊麗莎白女王爲“捲心菜”。沒錯,捲心菜。誰能想到蔬菜名還可以這麼討人喜歡呢?

“I inquired in royal circles and was told on very good authority that that is what the duke sometimes calls the Queen,” the film’s screenwriter Peter Morgan tells The Times. The Queen’s biographer, Robert Lacey, confirmed.
該電影的編劇皮特•摩根告訴《泰晤士報》說:“我在王室圈裏問過了,權威人士告訴我,愛丁堡公爵有時候就是這麼稱呼女王的。”女王的傳記作者羅伯特•萊西也證實了這一點。

Many believe that his term of endearment comes from mon petit chou, a French way of saying “my darling.” In English, the term translates literally to "my little cabbage."
許多人認爲這一暱稱來自法語mon petit chou,是法國人說“親愛的”的一種表達方式。這一短語翻譯成英語的字面意思是“我的小白菜”。

But that isn't the only nickname Queen Elizabeth has. Her great grandson, Prince George, calls her "Gan-Gan" while her family called her "Lilibet" when she was younger to poke fun at the fact that the then-princess couldn't properly pronounce her name.
但這並不是英國女王唯一的暱稱。她的曾孫喬治小王子稱呼女王爲“甘甘”,而她的家人在她小時候叫她Lilibet,取笑當時的伊麗莎白公主念自己的名字發音不準確。

上面這些女王暱稱,你覺得哪個最可愛?

其實,不光英國女王有這麼多好玩的暱稱,很多名人也有妙趣橫生的暱稱。廣爲人知的一般是粉絲給他們取的,比如詹妮弗•勞倫斯被叫作大表姐,本尼迪克特•康伯巴奇被叫作卷福,湯姆•希德勒斯頓被叫作抖森,邁克爾•法斯賓德被叫作法鯊,泰勒•斯威夫特被叫作黴黴,詹姆斯•麥卡沃伊被叫作一美,凱蒂•佩裏被叫作水果姐,這些都是中國粉絲給他們取的,這些暱稱都是怎麼來的呢?感興趣的可以看這裏:爲什麼中國人叫凱蒂•佩裏“水果姐”?

今天我們要說的是一些你很可能不知道的名人暱稱。

Jennifer Lawrence: J-Law / Nitro
詹妮弗•勞倫斯:J-Law / Nitro

Jennifer Lawrence's biggest nickname now is J-Law, but she used to go by "Nitro" when she was a kid, explaining to Conan O'Brien that she earned the moniker because she was "unstoppably and uncontrollably hyper."
詹妮弗•勞倫斯現在的主要暱稱是J-Law,不過她小時候的暱稱是Nitro。勞倫斯和脫口秀主持人柯南•奧布萊恩解釋說,她得此暱稱是因爲她總是“停不下來、控制不住地亢奮”。

Liam Payne: Cheesy Head
利亞姆•佩恩:奶酪頭

Liam Payne told The Sun in 2012 that not only did his big sisters used to dress him (sometimes in their outfits), but they also dubbed him Cheesy Head. "They used to call me Cheesy Head because I ate cheesy crisps all day," he said.
英國著名歌手、單向組合成員利亞姆•佩恩2012年告訴《太陽報》說,他的姐姐們以前不但給他穿衣服(有時候給他穿自己的女孩衣服),而且還給他取了“奶酪頭”這個綽號。佩恩說:“她們以前叫我‘奶酪頭’是因爲我一天到晚吃奶酪一口酥。”

Daniel Radcliffe: Shrimpy
丹尼爾•雷德克里夫:蝦子

Before he was Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe was a prawn. "I'm really not sure I ever had a decent nickname," Radcliffe told BBC. "I remember getting called Shrimpy a lot because I was very, very pale and very skinny."

Cristiano Ronaldo: Crybaby
克里斯蒂亞諾•羅納爾多(C羅):愛哭鬼

Cristiano Ronaldo, the most famous soccer star on the planet (and possibly ever), wasn't always such a good sport. His childhood teammate, Ricardo Santos, told Reuters that Ronaldo had a nickname as a kid that wasn't inspired by a Johnny Depp character, but by his weepy habits. "[We called him] Crybaby, yes," Santos said with a chuckle, "because Ronaldo already loved to win like he loves today and when he lost and when other kids didn't pass the ball to him he used to cry."
世界上(可能是有史以來)最著名的足球明星C羅並不總是輸得起的人。他童年的隊友裏卡多•桑托斯告訴路透社說,羅納爾多小時候有個暱稱叫“愛哭鬼”,這個暱稱和約翰尼•德普的那個角色沒有關係,而是因爲羅納爾多愛哭的習慣。 “(我們叫他)愛哭鬼,是的。” 桑托斯笑着說,“因爲羅納爾多那時候已經和現在一樣好勝,如果他輸了,或者其他的孩子沒有傳球給他,他就會哭。”

Keanu Reeves: The Wall
