"賽馬真是一項非常殘酷的運動。許多馬兒在比賽中受傷或者死亡。」

「每個月賽馬比賽中，平均有12匹馬兒會死亡。這樣傷害動物的比賽通常是無法持續的，但因為英國女王喜愛，賽馬繼續舉辦！」

英國王室對賽馬的喜愛由來已久。英國女王在四歲左右，就與騎馬結緣了。

Queen Elizabeth had her first riding lesson at age three and was given her first horse by her grandfather King George V on her fourth birthday.

伊麗莎白二世在3歲左右，她的祖父（前英國國王喬治五世）就給她上了第一節騎馬課，並給予她人生中第一匹馬。

It"s a love that has endured for over 70 years, since Queen Elizabeth II first visiteda racing stable.

自從伊麗莎白女王第一次參觀了一個賽馬馬廄後，她對賽馬的熱愛持續了70多年。

She was 16 and her father, George VI, wascasting his eye overtwo of his prime race horses .

她16歲的時候，她的父親喬治六世把目光放在他兩隻最主要的參賽馬兒身上。

"She watched themdo some gallopsahead of some big races that wereimminent," journalist and author Julian Muscat told CNN, "and afterward she went and patted them on the head and loved the feel and thesilkinessof their coats.

記者兼作家Julian Muscat對CNN說：「她當時看著這兩隻馬飛馳，為即將來臨的比賽做準備。馬兒跑累了後，她會走到馬兒身邊，輕拍它們的頭，她很喜歡這麼做，享受觸摸絲滑的馬毛的感覺。」

"The story goes that she didn"t wash her hands for the rest of the day."

「那天她甚至捨不得洗手。」

Her passion remains undiminished. The Queen still rides horses every weekend, according to Muscat, and has made the Royal Ascot meeting -- held annually at Ascot racecourse -- a fixture of her calendar.

Julian Muscat稱，女王對馬兒的熱情從未衰退；每個周末，她都會騎馬。她還確保了英國皇家愛斯科賽馬會每年如期在阿斯科特賽場舉辦。
