上周,白金汉宫对外公布,乔治王子将于今年九月进入巴特西的托马斯学校学习。
Last week, the Palace revealed that Prince George will be starting at Thomas's school in Battersea in September.
这条新闻让人大感意外,因为许多人认为乔治小王子会追随父亲的步伐进入位于诺丁山的韦瑟比学龄前学校。
The news came as a surprise as many believed the little prince would follow in his father's footsteps and attend Wetherby Pre-preparatory in Notting Hill.
乔治王子的第一套校服需要花多少钱?根据学校官网显示,校服中包含24项内容,总额高达370英镑。
So how much will George's first uniform cost? A list on the school's website boasts 24 items totalling to a huge 370 pounds.
乔治在日常学校生活中要穿海军夹克,圆高翻领的马球上衣和短裤。他在夏天可以换上短袖上衣,戴白色的遮阳帽。
For daily school life, George will require a navy jacket, polo neck and shorts. In the summer, he will be allowed to swap a jumper for a short-sleeved shirt and white sun hat.
一些并非强制要求的衣物也出现在了清单上,其中包括在绘画课和手工课上要穿的艺术工作服,价值30英镑;还有根据皇家舞蹈学院的要求所准备的芭蕾舞鞋。
Less essential items are also on the list. A 30 pounds art smock is needed for potentially messy arts and crafts lessons while ballet shoes are required for dance lessons from the Royal Academy of Dance.
当然,父母可能要为孩子买不止一套服装,这样花费将变得更高。
Of course, parents will probably need to buy more than one of each garment, sending the cost sky high.
据最近的一项调查显示,英国父母在孩子小学校服上的平均花费为210英镑,这意味着威廉王子夫妇在这一项上的支出将高于75%的英国家庭。
Kate and William will be spending 75% more than the average UK parent, according to a recent report which revealed that the average cost for a primary school uniform is 210 pounds.
托马斯学校一学期的学费为6000英镑,距肯辛顿宫仅有20分钟的车程。肯辛顿宫是剑桥公爵夫妇的新家。
Thomas's costs 6000 pounds a term and is only 20 minutes away from Kensington Palace; the new permanent home of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
