英文原文

【英文原文】

She is known to us as Prince William's devoted girlfriend - and is rarely seen away from his side。

  But in her schooldays, Kate Middleton was something of a superstar in her own right。

  The young Kate was a real golden girl - excelling at sport, drama and music。

  Kate joined the £13,000-a-year St Andrew's School at the age of eight and thrived until she left five years later。

  She also took part in plays, learned ballet and tap, and was a skilled flautist and singer。

  Just a quick flick through one of the school's year books, published in June 1995, her final year, demonstrates how Kate's star shone。

  As well as victories with the under-12/13 hockey team, she played goal defence for the under-13 netball team during one of its most successful seasons。

  She was also a keen swimmer and athlete, and on prize-giving day was given a cup for outstanding sporting achievement overall。

  One contemporary remembers Kate extremely fondly, saying: 'She was a really lovely, warm girl who didn't have a bad bone in her body. I couldn't speak of her more highly.'

  我们只知道凯特是威廉王子形影不离的女友,除此之外呢?
  在学校的时候,凯特可是大红人,而且并非因为男友的身份。
  少女时代的凯特是名副其实的才女,擅长体育、戏剧表演和音乐。
  凯特八岁时进入每年学费13,000英镑的圣安德鲁学校读书,5年后成为一个才华横溢的毕业生。
  她参加了表演活动,学习芭蕾和桥牌,擅长吹长笛,歌唱的也很好。
  1995年的学校年鉴中的记录就能看出凯特在学校的明星地位。
  她参加过少年曲棍球队,赢了不少比赛,也在少年无挡板篮球队中打出过很好的成绩。
  她还酷爱游泳和田径,在频频获奖的时候,被授予优秀运动员的奖杯。
  一位凯特的校友回忆起她时说道:“她是一个很可爱很温和的女生,善良得像天使。我简直找不到合适的词来形容她。”
