BBC新聞講解附字幕:英國(guó)威廉王子和米德爾頓大婚(2011-05-03)BBC News with Jerry Smit
Prince William, the second in line to the British throne, and his bride Kate Middleton have been married in a glittering ceremony at Westminster Abbey.Kate, who now has the title Duchess of Cambridge, told a news agency photographer “We had a great day.” Here's Nicholas Witchell.This was a day when a young woman was taken to many people's hearts.Accompanied by her father, she was driven through streets more packed than they have been for a royal wedding for a good many years.At Westminster Abbey, her husband-to-be was waiting.“You look beautiful,” he said, as Kate took her place beside him.The marriage ceremony was performed by the Archbishop of Canterbury.I, William Arthur Philip Louis(I, William Arthur Philip Louis), take thee, Catherine Elizabeth(take thee, Catherine Elizabeth)to my wedded wife(to my wedded wife).There was one moment of anxiety.The ring appeared to be too small.William persevered, and on it went.Within the abbey, the cheers of the crowds outside could clearly be heard.But of course from that moment, she was no longer Catherine Middleton.The Queen had opted for tradition and made William the Duke of Cambridge.And so she joined the royal family as Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge.The couple are now at a reception in Buckingham Palace, where the formality of the ceremonies will be relaxed.Here's June Kelly.After wedding service attended by 2,000, this evening's reception is in comparison a small affairan ordinary middle-class young woman to princess.You're listening to World News from the BBC.Nato has accused forces loyal to the Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi of laying mines in the waters off the coast of the besieged rebel-held city of Misrata.Ian Pannell reports from Tripoli.According to Nato, it intercepted small boats being used by Gaddafi loyalists off the coast of Misrata on Friday morning to plant mines.The port is the only lifeline for the besieged city, and it's been used for humanitarian shipments, the evacuation of refugees and casualties from the city, as well as the delivery of weapons and ammunition for the rebels.The head of operations for the alliance accused Colonel Gaddafi of a “complete disregard for international law”.The government in Tripoli hasn't responded.Human rights campaigners in Syria say more than 40 protesters have
been
killed
in
another
day
of anti-government demonstrations across the country.Many of those who died were reported to have been shot by the security forces as they tried to reach the southern city of Deraa.The city has been occupied by troops and tanks since Monday.Owen Bennett-Jones reports from neighbouring Lebanon.The reports say that thousands of people were marching towards Deraa when the security forces opened fire.The dead and injured were taken to a nearby hospital outside Deraa.Earlier, the government news agency reported that four soldiers had been killed and two kidnapped in Deraa by what it described as an “armed terrorist group” which stormed a military post.Deraa, where Friday prayers were banned today, is the place where the protests began six weeks ago.The French Football Federation has begun an inquiry into allegations that officials secretly planned to introduce racial quotas in national training programmes to restrict the number of non-white players.An investigative website, Mediapart, alleged that the football authorities had approved a plan to restrict the number of black players at football training centres to 30% of the total.Senior officials have denied the accusations.And that's the latest BBC News.翻譯:
英國(guó)王位第二順位繼承人威廉王子和新娘凱特·米德爾頓在威斯敏斯特大教堂(Westminster Abbey)舉行了盛大婚禮。凱特·米德爾頓現(xiàn)在的頭銜是劍橋公爵夫人(Duchess of Cambridge),她告訴媒體攝影師,“我們度過了美好的一天”。Nicholas Witchell報(bào)道。
這一天,一名年輕女子牽動(dòng)了許多人的心。在父親的陪同下,她乘車經(jīng)過擁擠的街道。多年來,皇家婚禮從未引起如此多人的關(guān)注。在威斯敏斯特大教堂,她的未婚夫正在等待。威廉王子對(duì)她說,“你今天非常漂亮,”然后,凱特站在威廉王子旁邊。婚禮儀式由坎特伯雷大主教(Archbishop of Canterbury)主持。
“我,威廉·亞瑟·菲利普·路易斯,將娶你凱薩琳·伊莉莎白為我的合法妻子。”
婚禮中曾經(jīng)出現(xiàn)了比較焦慮的時(shí)刻。結(jié)婚戒指似乎有點(diǎn)小。在威廉的不懈努力下,戒指終于戴到凱特手上。在教堂內(nèi)能夠清晰地聽到教堂外人群的歡呼聲。但是當(dāng)然,從那一刻起,她不再是凱瑟琳·米德爾頓。女王按照傳統(tǒng)封威廉王子為劍橋公爵,由此凱特也加入皇室家族,成為劍橋公爵夫人。
威廉王子夫婦正在白金漢宮參加宴會(huì),儀式的禮節(jié)稍微放松一點(diǎn)。June Kelly報(bào)道。
經(jīng)過2,000人參加的婚禮之后,晚上的宴會(huì)相對(duì)來說就比較輕松,這是由這對(duì)夫婦選擇的300名客人,主持人是威爾士王子。女王和愛丁堡公爵已經(jīng)回家,將王宮留給參加派對(duì)的人。一名官員表示,女王認(rèn)為晚上的宴會(huì)應(yīng)該是讓年輕人放松的。晚宴安排了伴郎哈里王子發(fā)表講話。祖父母不在場(chǎng),王子在講述兄長(zhǎng)的愛情童話時(shí)可能沒有那么拘謹(jǐn)。
