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.
英国王位第二顺位继承人威廉王子和新娘凯特·米德尔顿在威斯敏斯特大教堂(Westminster Abbey)举行了盛大婚礼。凯特·米德尔顿现在的头衔是剑桥公爵夫人(Duchess of Cambridge)，她告诉媒体摄影师，“我们度过了美好的一天”。Nicholas Witchell报道。
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.
这一天，一名年轻女子牵动了许多人的心。在父亲的陪同下，她乘车经过拥挤的街道。多年来，皇家婚礼从未引起如此多人的关注。在威斯敏斯特大教堂，她的未婚夫正在等待。威廉王子对她说，“你今天非常漂亮，”然后，凯特站在威廉王子旁边。婚礼仪式由坎特伯雷大主教(Archbishop of Canterbury)主持。
I, William Arthur Philip Louis (I, William Arthur Philip Louis), take thee, Catherine Elizabeth (take thee, Catherine Elizabeth) to my wedded1 wife (to my wedded wife).
“我，威廉·亚瑟·菲利普·路易斯，将娶你凯萨琳·伊莉莎白为我的合法妻子。”
There was one moment of anxiety. The ring appeared to be too small. William persevered2, 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 opted3 for tradition and made William the Duke of Cambridge. And so she joined the royal family as Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge.
婚礼中曾经出现了比较焦虑的时刻。结婚戒指似乎有点小。在威廉的不懈努力下，戒指终于戴到凯特手上。在教堂内能够清晰地听到教堂外人群的欢呼声。但是当然，从那一刻起，她不再是凯瑟琳·米德尔顿。女王按照传统封威廉王子为剑桥公爵，由此凯特也加入皇室家族，成为剑桥公爵夫人。
The couple are now at a reception in Buckingham Palace, where the formality of the ceremonies will be relaxed. Here's June Kelly.
威廉王子夫妇正在白金汉宫参加宴会，仪式的礼节稍微放松一点。June Kelly报道。
After wedding service attended by 2,000, this evening's reception is in comparison a small affair - 300 guests chosen by the couple, the host is the Prince of Wales. The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh have left for home and turned the palace over to the party goers. One official said the Queen believed the reception was for younger people to let their hair down. The dinner has been the setting for Prince Harry's best man speech. With no grandparents' present, the prince may feel less inhibited4 when it comes to tales about his older brother.
经过2,000人参加的婚礼之后，晚上的宴会相对来说就比较轻松，这是由这对夫妇选择的300名客人，主持人是威尔士王子。女王和爱丁堡公爵已经回家，将王宫留给参加派对的人。一名官员表示，女王认为晚上的宴会应该是让年轻人放松的。晚宴安排了伴郎哈里王子发表讲话。祖父母不在场，王子在讲述兄长的爱情童话时可能没有那么拘谨。

"We all believe in fairy tales, and this is the best fairy tale that we've got in our generation, and I think we all just want to be a part of that."
“我们都相信童话故事，这是我们这一代经历的最浪漫的童话故事，我想我们都希望成为这个童话的一部分。”

“我非常激动，这是我们的皇室，我们仍然敬爱他们。我们热爱这场盛典。非常壮观。”

According to Nato, it intercepted8 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 humanitarian9 shipments, the evacuation of refugees and casualties from the city, as well as the delivery of weapons and ammunition10 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 demonstrations11 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.
叙利亚人道主义活动家表示，全国各地再次发生了反政府抗议活动，造成40多人死亡。据报道，许多死亡是由于试图游行前往南部城市德拉时被安全力量枪击。自周一开始，这座城市已经被军队和坦克占领。Owen Bennett-Jones在邻国黎巴嫩报道。
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.
