答案似乎包括負(fù)鼠毛斗篷、雙人快艇式小汽車、傳統(tǒng)的搖擺小木馬。

Details of the presents were published yesterday in the official list of gifts given to the Royals in 2014. The exact value of each item is not listed, so as not to offend the giver, and many are also so unique the price is virtually impossible to calculate.
官方昨天發(fā)布2014王室接收的禮物清單,公布了禮物細(xì)節(jié)。為了尊重每一位禮物的饋贈(zèng)者,每件禮品的具體價(jià)值沒有列出,而且很多禮物都獨(dú)一無二,價(jià)值根本無法用金錢衡量。
