[雙語新聞] 英國準(zhǔn)王妃低調(diào)單身派對 告別單身生活

 

Kate Middleton has followed the example of her fiancé, Prince William, by opting for a distinctly low-key hen night.
凱特•米德爾頓日前效法未婚夫威廉王子，低調(diào)舉辦了“婚前單身派對”。

Miss Middleton secretly celebrated her final weeks as a single woman with a handful of her closest friends several days ago. And, like her future husband, she stayed well away from the public eye by shunning the traditional night on the town.
幾天前，米德爾頓與一幫好友秘密慶祝了婚前最后的單身時光。跟她的未婚夫一樣，米德爾頓在小鎮(zhèn)舉辦了傳統(tǒng)的婚前派對，成功躲過了公眾的目光。

Organised by her younger sister, Pippa, who will be maid of honour at the royal wedding, Miss Middleton’s private party was understood to have taken place at the home of a friend.
這場派對由米德爾頓的妹妹皮帕組織。皮帕也是威廉與凱特王室婚禮的伴娘。據(jù)稱，米德爾頓的私人派對在一位友人的家中舉行。

A source close to Miss Middleton said: “She has already had her hen night, but it was certainly very low-key. There isn’t such a tradition attached to hen nights as there is to stag parties. It was done privately. Not all of Kate’s friends were there, and she will be catching up with other friends over the coming weeks.”
米德爾頓的一位親友透露說：“她已經(jīng)舉辦過婚前派對了，但非常低調(diào)。女士婚前派對不像男士婚前派對一樣有那么多講究。派對是私下舉辦的。凱特的好友也沒有全部出席，接下來的幾周里凱特還要與其他好友會面。”

Miss Middleton, 29, was thought to have been joined by friends including Olivia Bleasdale, who shared a flat with her and the Prince at St Andrews University, and Astrid Harbord, who was once romantically linked to Prince Harry.
米德爾頓現(xiàn)年29歲。參加此次派對的有她和威廉在圣安德魯斯大學(xué)讀書時的室友奧利維亞•布利斯代爾、以及哈里王子的前女友亞絲塔瑞德•哈伯德。

Exactly what they got up to was likely to remain a closely-guarded secret, but Miss Middleton had never been known to take things to excess. Former schoolfriends had described how Miss Middleton would never join in when they had drinking games in their dormitories, and was never seen drunk.
派對的具體內(nèi)容仍將是個迷，但米德爾頓從來不是放縱自己的人。據(jù)前校友描述，米德爾頓從不參與她們在寢室的飲酒游戲，也從沒喝醉過。

Miss Middleton’s hen night was understood to have happened several days before Prince William’s stag party, which was held on Saturday. While the Prince was partying with his friends, Miss Middleton spent the weekend with her parents at their home in Bucklebury, Berks.
米德爾頓的婚前單身派對在威廉王子單身派對之前的幾天舉辦。在威廉王子與好友在某周六辦派對時，米德爾頓正和父母在位于伯克郡巴柯爾伯里的家中共度周末。

One possibility is that she took the opportunity to meet her friends while the Prince was visiting Australia and New Zealand earlier this month. A spokesman for St James’s Palace said: “This is not something we would comment on. It is a private matter.”
有猜測認(rèn)為她趁威廉王子本月初出訪澳大利亞和新西蘭時借機與好友聚會。圣詹姆士宮（譯者注：威廉王子所在宮?。┑囊晃话l(fā)言人說：“我們不會對此發(fā)表評論，這是私人事務(wù)。”
