One of the most time-honoured traditions at the monarch's London home, the Changing of the Guard was halted in March 2020 to avoid large crowds of tourists gathering during lockdown and potentially spreading COVID-19. But the familiar sight returned on Monday.
皇家衛兵換崗儀式，是君主在倫敦住所最為歷史悠久的傳統之一，為了避免封城期間大批遊客聚集並可能傳播新冠病毒，在2020年3月暫停，但這熟悉的場景在週一恢復了。
For the past 18 months, they have been busy manning COVID-19 testing sites and vaccination centres across the country, as well as operational training.
在過去18個月裡，他們一直忙於為全國各地新冠檢測站和疫苗接種中心配備人員，以及進行操作培訓。
When they're not performing ceremonial duties, guardsmen from the Household Division are also active, serving soldiers on operations or training.
當他們不執行禮儀性任務時，英國御林軍的衛兵也要參與軍人的活動或訓練。
What is the Changing of the Guard?
什麼是衛兵換崗?
The Changing of the Guard is a formal ceremony where a group of soldiers who protect Buckingham Palace - one of the Queen's residences - are replaced by a new group of soldiers.
衛兵換崗儀式是一個正式的儀式，其中一組保護白金漢宮的衛兵-女王的住所之一-由另一組新的衛兵取代。
The soldiers who protect Buckingham Palace, are known as the Queen's guard, and they wear traditional outfits whilst carrying out their duties, including a fluffy black bearskin hat, and a red jacket.
保衛白金漢宮的衛兵，也被稱作女王的衛兵，他們在執行任務時穿著傳統服裝，包含一頂毛茸茸的黑熊皮高帽和一件紅色夾克。
Members of the public can watch the ceremony take place.
公眾可以觀看儀式進行。
When did the ceremony first start?
換崗儀式何時開始的?
The guards have protected Kings, Queens and the Royal Palaces since around 1656.
The Changing of the Guard ceremony originally took place at the Palace of Whitehall, which was the King or Queen's official home in London until 1689.
自1656年左右以來，衛兵一直保護國王、王后和皇宮。衛兵換崗儀式最初是在懷特霍爾宮舉行，直到到1689年，懷特霍爾宮一直是國王或王后在倫敦的官邸。
When the Royal household moved to St James's Palace, the ceremony took place there, and finally in 1837, the ceremony moved to Buckingham Palace after Queen Victoria moved in.
當皇室遷至聖詹姆士宮時，儀式就在那舉行。最後在1837年，當維多利亞女王入住白金漢宮時，儀式也轉遷至白金漢宮。
