Their behaviour has not always been particularly regal towards footmen or other dogs.
皇室柯基對(duì)仆人和其他狗狗并不會(huì)總擺出一副高高在上的優(yōu)越樣兒。

But at dinner time the Queen’s beloved corgis and dorgis know their place, sitting obediently around Her Majesty as they are served individual menus that they receive in order of seniority.
但在吃飯的時(shí)候，女王心愛的柯基犬和道吉狗們會(huì)找到自己的位置，乖乖地坐在女王陛下身邊，等著享用專人按照年齡的順序派給它們的個(gè)人餐食。

The carefully tailored menus even include herbal remedies, according to an animal psychologist who worked with the royal pets.
照顧皇家寵物的動(dòng)物心理學(xué)家稱，精心定制的菜單中甚至包括藥膳。

Dr Roger Mugford, who has dealt with doggy discipline problems at Buckingham Palace for more than 20 years, said: ‘At feeding times, each dog had an individually designed menu, including an array of homeopathic and herbal remedies.
羅杰·莫格佛博士在白金漢宮管理寵物狗已有二十余年，他說(shuō)：“喂食小狗的時(shí)候，每只狗都有一個(gè)單獨(dú)定制的菜單，包括一系列順勢(shì)療法藥物和藥膳。”

‘Their food was served by a butler in an eclectic collection of battered silver and porcelain dishes.
男管家將它們的食物盛放在形形色色的銀質(zhì)和瓷器盤子中。

‘As I watched, the Queen got the corgis to sit in a semi-circle around her, and then fed them one by one, in order of seniority. The others just sat and patiently waited their turn.’
“我看著女王讓狗狗們圍著自己坐成半圓，然后按年齡大小一個(gè)接一個(gè)給它們喂食。其他狗狗只是坐在那里，耐心地等著自己的食物。”

Over the years, Her Majesty has had 30 corgis. At one time there were said to be 13, but she is now down to two, Willow and Holly, both 12, and two dorgis, Candy and Vulcan.
多年來(lái)，女王陛下已經(jīng)有過(guò)三十只狗狗了。有人說(shuō)女王有段時(shí)間養(yǎng)著十三只狗狗，但現(xiàn)在只有四只了：十二歲的薇洛和霍利，還有兩只道吉狗坎迪和伏爾甘。

It was reported last year that she will not replace them when they die because she does not wish to leave any of her beloved pets behind when she dies.
據(jù)去年的報(bào)道稱，在這些狗狗去世后，女王不會(huì)再養(yǎng)新的狗狗來(lái)替代它們，她不愿意在去世后將她心愛的寵物孤獨(dú)地留在人世。
