坐擁3.6億英鎊財產 英國女王都有什麼收入?
Most people make money from their day jobs. British royals are not most people.
大多數人是通過他們的全日性工作賺錢。但英國王室成員不是大多數人。Queen Elizabeth II and the British royal family have multiple sources of income, but they're still not as rich as you might expect.
伊麗莎白女王二世和英國王室的收入有多個來源，然而他們並沒有你所想像的那麼富有。Media reports have estimated the Queen's personal fortune is worth up to 360 million pounds ($470 million). That's a nice chunk of change, but over 320 Brits are richer, according to the Sunday Times.
媒體報道估計，女王的個人財富價值達3.6億英鎊（4.7億美元）。據《星期日泰晤士報》報道，這很不錯了，但是有超過320個英國人比她富有。
The Queen's three main sources of income are the Sovereign Grant, the Duchy of Lancaster estate and her personal property and investments.
女王收入的三大來源是君主撥款、蘭開斯特公爵領地以及她的個人財產和投資。The Sovereign Grant -- an annual lump sum from the government -- is essentially an expense account, covering the costs of travel, security, staff and the upkeep of royal palaces.
君主撥款即每年從政府領到的總款，事實上是報銷賬單，覆蓋出行、安全、員工和王宮修繕開支。
The Queen received 42.8 million pounds free of tax from the Sovereign Grant in the 2016-2017 fiscal year. The payment was projected to balloon by 78% to 76.1 million in the latest fiscal year to help finance an extensive renovation of Buckingham Palace.
在2016年至2017年的財政年度中，女王從君主撥款方面獲得了4280萬英鎊的免稅撥款。在最近一個財政年度，這筆款項預計將增長78%，達到7610萬英鎊，用於資助白金漢宮修繕。Another important source of income for the monarch is the Duchy of Lancaster, a private estate of commercial, agricultural and residential properties that dates back to 1265. It produced 19.2 million pounds in income for the Queen during the most recent fiscal year.
女王收入的另外一個重要來源是蘭開斯特公爵領地，這是一塊用於商業、農業和居住的私人財產，可追溯至1265年。近年來，它爲女王帶來了1920萬英鎊的收入。The Queen also has her own personal assets, including Balmoral Castle in Scotland, and the Sandringham Estate in the east of England. Both were inherited from her father and are beloved family retreats.
女王也有她自己的私人財產，包括蘇格蘭的巴爾莫勒爾堡和東英格蘭的桑德林漢姆莊園。這些都是從她父親手上繼承的，爲王室喜愛的休養處。But her wealth extends far beyond real estate. The Queen also owns a valuable stamp collection, numerous works of art and a stock portfolio.
不過她的財富遠不止這些房產。女王還擁有許多有價值的郵集、無數的藝術作品和股票投資組合。
