> Several British guardsmen faint as Prince William reviews military parade
英國皇家閱兵儀式彩排，多名衛兵又熱暈倒了

At least three guardsmen fainted during the military parade known as the Colonel's Review, in which more than 1,400 soldiers of the Household Division and the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery are reviewed by the heir to the throne, who is honorary Colonel of the Welsh Guards.
在英國一場被稱為“上校檢閱”的閱兵式上，至少有3名護衛隊員體力不支暈倒。在這一儀式中，超過1400名皇家騎馬炮兵團國王儀仗隊王室師的士兵接受了英國威廉王儲、威爾士近衛軍“榮譽上校”的檢閱。

The event was a rehearsal for Trooping the Colour, an annual military parade held each June to mark the monarch's official birthday.
這次活動是英國皇家軍隊閱兵儀式的預演。皇家軍隊閱兵儀式每年6月舉行，是為了紀念英國君主的官方生日。

Afterward, Prince William tweeted: "A big thank you to every soldier who took part in the Colonel's Review this morning in the heat. Difficult conditions but you all did a really good job."
事后，威廉王子在推特上寫道：“非常感謝今天早上在酷暑中參加檢閱的每一位士兵。條件艱苦，但你們都做得很好。”

He later shared several photos of the parade, writing that the "hard work and preparation that goes into an event like this is a credit to all involved, especially in today's conditions."
他還分享了幾張閱兵的照片，并稱“像這樣的活動所做的辛勤工作和準備是所有參與者的功勞，尤其是在今天的這種情況下”。
