英语新闻听写 阿黛尔订购史上最远披萨

Across the pond, Adele may or may not have chartered the most epic¹ pizza delivery voyage.

在英国，阿黛尔可能创造了最具史诗级的披萨外卖旅程。

English tabloid², The Sun, reports that Adele ordered a pizza for delivery at 11 p.m. from a restaurant in London.

据英国小报《太阳》报道，阿黛尔在伦敦一家餐馆预定了晚上11点送达的披萨。

The only snag was that she, her partner, and her son were stationed 70 miles away at a resort in Oxfordshire.

唯一的问题是阿黛尔、她的男友以及儿子都住在70英里以外牛津郡的度假胜地。

The pizza arrived four hours later due to the lengthy³ drive and a source from Soho Farmhouse,where she was on her retreat, suggested that she fell asleep while waiting.

因为车程太长，披萨晚到了四个小时，她所度假的Soho乡村饭店的消息称，阿黛尔在等待披萨的过程中已经睡着了。

They told the tabloid, "It was still in the box when the maid came next morning.”

他们告诉小报，“女服务员第二天早上来打扫卫生的时候发现披萨仍然装在盒子里。”
