[雙語]愛女心切：母親花費3萬美元為女兒過生日

 

For most little girls, a cake will suffice for her sixth birthday. But not so for Gracie, whose mother Nicole spent a staggering $32,000 on her birthdayparty.

對于大多數(shù)小女孩來講，一塊生日蛋糕就是對自己六歲生日的最好紀(jì)念。但對于小格雷西可不是這樣，因為媽媽妮可為了給她舉辦生日宴會竟然花掉了32000美元！

The astonishing costs include $3,000 on invitations, and $2,100 on a nine-tier cake. Nicole also splashed out one Cinderella carriage and actors to play jugglers and jesters in keeping with the medieval princess theme. Gracie was even treated to a day of spa treatments the day before the party.

這項令人吃驚的開銷中，3000美元用于制作請柬，2100美元則花在了一個九層蛋糕上。此外，妮可還給自己的女兒購置了一輛灰姑娘坐的那種四輪馬車，還雇傭演員們表演雜耍扮演小丑，使得生日宴會充滿了中世紀(jì)公主的調(diào)調(diào)。而在宴會前一天，小格雷西還做了一天的水療。

But Gracie's older brother, Parker should dress up in a medieval costume and hand-deliver the 200 guests' invitations. Gracie's father, Jason, who was made to dress up as a king for the event, said: "This is not a normal party."

但是格雷西的哥哥帕克卻不得不身著中世紀(jì)戲服傳送200個來賓的請柬。格雷西的父親賈森在宴會上也被迫穿上了國王的服裝，他說：“這簡直不正常。”

But even this was not enough to impress young Gracie, who rejected her lavish birthday cake because the bird design was purple, not blue. "She's a bit of a perfectionist,"  Nicole explained.

即便是這樣，格雷西還是沒能完全如愿，她拒絕吃那個奢華的生日蛋糕，因為上面小鳥的顏色是紫色的，而非藍(lán)色。“這個孩子有點完美主義，”妮可解釋說。
