When she stepped out in Northern Ireland with Prince Philip this week, she was wearing shoes identical to those she first sported five decades ago. Politics change, and so, gradually, does the monarchs style of dress.本周，英国女王和丈夫菲利普亲王在北爱尔兰出席了一场公开活动，在场所穿皮鞋与她50年前首次公开露面时所穿的那双一模一样。半个世纪过去了，政坛发生翻天覆地的变化，王室成员的服装式样也都历经改变。

　　The coats have become narrower, the hemlines slightly longer. Only her Majestys shoes remain emphatically the same.外套变得更窄，裙摆变得更长，唯有女王皮鞋是永恒的经典。

　　At 88, the Queen relies on her shoes to be less glass slipper, more steadfast slip-on. Comfort and support are key. As a young woman she often wore shoes with a thinner, higher heel, but for nearly 50 years the same low style has kept her sure-footed and age-defyingly nimble.88岁的女王需要的不是一双水晶鞋，而是结实的休闲鞋。选鞋的关键是舒适和牢靠。年轻时，女王经常穿细高跟，但近50年来她穿着同样的平底鞋，步履稳健、举步如飞。

　　Known as her work shoes, they are handmade for her by shoemaker Anello Davide of Kensington, West London, from the finest calf leather, usually in black patent with a brass clasp or a small bow.女王战靴由英国伦敦的阿内洛 戴维公司手工制作，采用上等小牛皮，通常为黑色漆皮缎面，搭配一个铜扣或者小蝴蝶结。
