威廉王子辭去飛行員,開始全職當皇室了

Prince William will begin his last shift as an air ambulance pilot this afternoon before moving on to life as a full-time member of the royal family.

今天下午威廉王子將最後一次擔任救護飛機的飛行員，之後他將用全部的時間來履行其皇室職責。

The Duke of Cambridge announced in January he would be ending his career with the East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA), and has clocked-up more than two years flying medical crews to emergencies from a base at Cambridge Airport.

劍橋公爵於一月宣佈他將結束自己在東安格利亞空中急救隊的工作，而且他已在劍橋機場一個基地的緊急飛行醫療隊中工作了兩年多。

The Duke joined EAAA as a pilot in March 2015 and after completing an initial period of job specific training involving simulator, aircraft and in-flight skills training, he began piloting his first operational missions in July 2015.

劍橋公爵於2015年3月加入了東安格利亞空中急救隊，成爲了一名救護機飛行員。在完成了包括模擬器、飛行器以及飛行技巧等初期專項工作培訓後，他於2015年7月執行了首次飛行任務。

Throughout his service William has been based out of Cambridge Airport, as part of a team including specialist doctors, critical care paramedics and pilots providing emergency medical services across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.

在他服務於救護隊期間，威廉王子一直駐紮在劍橋機場。他們的團隊裏有專業醫師、急救護理人員以及飛行員，併爲貝德福德郡、劍橋郡、諾福克郡和薩福克郡提供緊急醫療服務。

A statement issued at the time by Kensington Palace said William and Kate wanted to increase their official duties on behalf of the Queen and their charity work, which would mean more time in London.

當時肯辛頓宮發表了一篇聲明，表示威廉王子和凱特王妃想要爲女王分擔更多公務，並開展更多的慈善活動，這意味着他們會花更多的時間呆在倫敦。

The Duke of Edinburgh has announced he will step down from his public duties this summer, which is likely to see all members of the monarchy carrying out more engagements in support of the Queen.

今年夏天愛丁堡公爵宣佈他將不再擔任公職，因此所有的皇室成員很可能都會承擔更多的皇室職責來支持女王。

The Duke said in the statement in January: "It has been a huge privilege to fly with the East Anglian Air Ambulance.”

劍橋公爵在一月份發表的聲明中表示：“我很榮幸能夠爲東安格利亞空中急救隊效勞。”

"Following on from my time in the military, I have had experiences in this job I will carry with me for the rest of my life, and that will add a valuable perspective to my royal work for decades to come."

“在軍隊中服務的這段時間，我收穫了很多經驗，這些將一直會在未來的日子裏伴隨着我。另外，它還使我對未來幾十年裏要從事的皇室工作有了更寶貴的見解。”
