4. Prince inspired by Swedes

威廉王子鼓励户外运动

When the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge return from their overseas trip, their children could rightfully expect an armful of gifts and a big cuddle. Instead, they may be in for a rude awakening. Speaking at an evening reception celebrating the ties between Britain and Sweden, Prince William observed: "The Swedish love of the outdoors is really inspiring. One lesson that we will take home with us is that children are actively encouraged to spend time outdoors, whatever the weather. This is obviously very good for their physical health but, it has huge benefits for a child"s mental health as well".

英国剑桥公爵夫妇结束海外之旅回家后，他们的孩子们本期望得到一大堆的礼物和一个大大的拥抱，他们可能会大失所望了。威廉王子在一个庆祝英国和瑞典关系的晚间招待会上发表讲话时说道：

瑞典人对户外活动的热爱很鼓舞人心。我们要带回家的一个经验是，不管天气如何，都要积极鼓励孩子们进行户外活动。这对他们的身体健康显然很有好处，同时也非常有利于孩子的心理健康。
