Barefoot Prince George celebrates his third birthday today with four stunning new photographs released by Kensington Palace。
今天肯辛顿宫发布了4张乔治王子过三岁诞辰的新照片，图片中的小王子光着脚丫。
The little prince， third in line to the throne， can be seen in two shots playing on a swing in casual shorts and a T-shirt at his parents‘ country home， Anmer Hall， that is inscribed with their names， William and Catherine。 It is believed to have been a wedding gift to the couple。
有两张照片中，小王子穿着休闲短裤和一件T恤，在父母乡郊别墅安默堡中荡着秋千玩耍。这个第三顺位继承人所坐的秋千上还印有父母的名字“威廉和凯瑟琳”，据称该秋千还是夫妻俩的结婚礼物。
Another equally casual shot shows him cheekily offering an ice cream to the family‘s dog， spaniel Lupo。
另一张休闲照中，小王子粉脸扑扑，正在给自家的西班牙猎狗卢波喂冰淇淋。
A fourth shows George running through the gardens， this time wearing a jumper by Pepa & Co - a brand Kate turns to time and time again - and his favourite Trotters shoes。
第四张照片中的乔治在花园里玩耍，他身穿Pepa & Co的套衫和最爱的Trotters牌鞋。（Pepa & Co是凯特王妃时不时给儿子选的衣服品牌。）
In recent years the royal household has often issued pictures taken of the Royal children by their keen amateur photographer mother， the Duchess of Cambridge。 This time， however， they were taken by a professional photographer， Matt Porteous。
近年来英国王室常常会发布小王子和公主的照片，不过却出自他们业余热爱摄影的母亲剑桥公爵夫人之手。不过这一次的照片是由专业摄影师马特·波蒂尔斯拍摄的。

威廉王子和凯特王妃一次曾发表声明称：“剑桥公爵及夫人十分高兴，能将乔治王子四张三岁生日的新照公布，与民众一同分享。”
‘They were taken by photographer Matt Porteous at their home in Norfolk in mid-July。
照片由摄影师马特·波蒂尔斯于7月中旬拍摄于公爵夫妇诺福克的家中。
Photographer Matt Porteous said： ‘I really enjoyed the opportunity to take these photographs of Prince George。 It was a very relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere。 I’m honoured that they have decided to share these images with the public to mark his third birthday。‘
