译文：
日本78岁婆婆跟拍皇室26年
无论日本的皇族走到哪里，你都能看到白田文子的身影——无论是炎夏或是寒冬，不管是天涯还是海角。
唯一例外的是雨雪太大的时候。
她说，“那样的环境拍不好照片——如果相机镜头淋湿了，可能会损坏。我真的很担心这一点”。
在过去的26年里，白田一直在跟拍美智子皇后和明仁天皇，尤其是太子妃雅子。
她说，“只要知道他们的行程安排，我一定会跑到当地。”
白田喜欢跟拍皇室成员。白田的这一爱好始于1993年。78岁的白田回忆称，刚开始，她因为拍不好照片困扰。
“我不习惯带这么重的相机，所以我拍到的都是轮胎、汽车后座或者司机。”她说。但是如今她的摄影水平提高了，她的房子里也堆满了大量的照片。
这些照片多到数不清。她说，“毕竟，拍了26年了”。
在日本，大多数跟拍皇室成员的人是女性。她们称，主要是对皇室女性以及她们的服装感兴趣。白田在一家汽车经销店做兼职，也有空闲时间拍照。
她丈夫于两年前去世。如今，她无法花大量的时间拍照。她说：“我每周会花五六天时间（去追星），但现在我必须工作赚钱。”
白田不愿谈论在跟随皇室成员和拍照方面的开销。但她表示，每年仅在照片上的花费就有400多美元。
