排隊后，凱西和艾凡終于進入瑞典皇宮。

E:Most royal families in Europe lived beyond our wildest dreams. Some still do.

艾凡：以往大多數(shù)的歐洲皇室家族都過著超乎我們想象的奢侈生活。有些至今仍然如此。

K:You mean like the House of Windsor?

凱西：你的意思是像溫莎王室過的生活嗎?

E:Yes. Queen Elizabeth II is the world's richest woman, after all. And I believe the Queen of the Netherlands is the world's second richest.

艾凡：是的。畢竟，伊莉莎白二世是全世界最有錢的女人。而我相信荷蘭女王是世界上第二有錢的女人。

K:Imagine all that money!

凱西：想象一下有那么多錢該有多爽!

E:I prefer to imagine all that power.

艾凡：我寧愿想象有那么大的權(quán)力該有多爽。

凱西：典型的男人!

E:Anyway, let's go through some of the rooms here and pretend we'll be this rich some day.

艾凡：不管怎樣，咱們進去幾個房間瞧瞧，假裝將來有一天我們也會這么有錢吧。

K:Yeah, right! It's fun to dream, though. I think in every girl's heart, there's a dream about being a princess.

凱西： 沒錯!夢想不失為一大樂事。我認為在每個女孩心中都有個當公主的夢想。

E:And in every man's heart there is a princess...

艾凡：在每個男人心中也都有個公主……

K:Oh, Evan! I didn't know you were so romantic!

凱西：哦，艾凡!沒想到你這么羅曼蒂克!
