When celebrating the most powerful women of the last 70 years, it may seem natural to host a celebration at Buckingham Palace.
要歌颂过去七十年里最有影响力的女性，在白金汉宫举行庆典活动似乎合情合理。

But if anyone had hoped Her Majesty might be recognised for her contribution to women’s lives, they would be disappointed.
但是，如果有人希望女王陛下因其对女性生活的贡献而得到认可的话，他们可能得失望了。

The list of seven powerful women, selected by a judging panel, was topped by Baroness Thatcher, the late former prime minister who was recognised by the BBC for her impact on British women whether they “love her or loathe her”.
由评委会选出的七位有影响力的女性名单以撒切尔夫人为首。不论英国女性“喜欢她还是讨厌她”，这位已故的前首相对英国女性的影响都得到了英国广播公司的认可。

The Queen did not make the list, with Theresa May, the current Prime Minister, also omitted along with all modern-day politicians.
女王没有上榜，现任首相特丽莎·梅以及所有当代的（女性）政客也没有入选。

The list will be announced on Woman’s Hour from 10am on Wednesday, in a programme pre-recorded at Buckingham Palace.
星期三上午10点，（英国广播公司的）“女性时间”栏目将公布这份名单，而这份公告是在白金汉宫预先录制的。

Previous winners include Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, campaigner Baroness Lawrence, and the Queen, who won in 2013.
早先的入选者有苏格兰首席大臣尼科娜·斯特金、活动家劳伦斯夫人以及在2013年入选的女王陛下。
