Time for the shoutout.
“大喊”時間到了。
Name the longest-reigning monarch in British history?
誰是英國歷史上在位時間最長的君主？
Here we go, is it (a), King Henry VIII, (b), King George III, (c), Queen Victoria, or (d), Queen Elizabeth II?
開始吧，是（a）亨利八世（b）喬治三世（c）維多利亞女王（d）伊麗莎白二世？
You`ve got three seconds. Go!
你有三秒鐘時間。開始吧！
It was only yesterday that Queen Elizabeth II became Britain`s longest reigning monarch.
就在昨天，英國女王伊麗莎白二世成為在位時間最長的君主。
That`s your answer and that`s your shoutout.
這是你的答案，這就是你的“大喊”。
So, as of Wednesday, Queen Elizabeth II had reigned exactly one day longer than the previous record holder. That was her great, great grandmother, Queen Victoria.
因此，截至星期三，女王伊麗莎白二世在位時間比記錄保持者—他的曾曾祖母維多利亞女王長一天。
The current monarch has been ruling for 23,227 days and counting. That is 63 years and 216 days for those of you without calculators.
這位現任君主執政時間為23227天,也就是63年零216天。
The queen`s position is mostly ceremonial. She can`t vote and she doesn`t have much law-making power. That`s held by the British parliament. But she can be consulted on legal matters, and fun fact: by law, she can drive a car as fast as she wants.
女王的地位通常是禮儀性的。她沒有投票權以及太多的法律權利。那是由英國議會決定的。但她在法律事務中能參與商議。有趣的是，從法律上講她可以隨心所欲把汽車開的多快。
British Prime Minister David Cameron said Queen Elizabeth`s reign has been the golden thread running through three post-war generations. This should give you a sense of how historic that reign is.
英國首相卡梅倫戴維表示，伊麗莎白女王的統治貫穿了戰后三代人。其統治應該給人們一種歷史性意義。
