　　Depending on your familiarity with British royals trivia, you may already know this, but: the Queen is the only person in the U.K. who is allowed to drive without a license. (She never had to take a driving test and does not have a number plate on her car.) So: the 92-year-old does not have a license to turn in, but rather has agreed to stop driving on the advice of her security team, per the Times.

　　如果你对英国王室有所了解的话，你可能已经知道了：女王是英国唯一一个没有驾照就可以开车的人。(她从未考过驾照，也没有车牌号。)所以：据《泰晤士报》报道，这位92岁没有办法上交驾照的老人，在她的安全团队的建议下，同意停止驾驶。

　　The monarch, as protocol dictates, is driven when she travels to public engagements, but she had previously taken the wheel herself when driving around her estates and to private functions. Now she will be chauffeured on public roads.

　　The then-Princess Elizabeth, 18, trained as a driver and a mechanic, learning how to change a wheel, rebuild engines and drive ambulances and trucks. She earned a reputation for not being afraid to get her hands dirty, and five months later, the royal was promoted to honorary junior commander in the summer of 1945.

　　当时18岁的伊丽莎白公主(princess Elizabeth)接受过司机和机械师的培训，学习如何换轮子、重建引擎、驾驶救护车和卡车。她以不怕脏而闻名，五个月后，1945年夏天，皇室成员被提升为荣誉初级指挥官。
