威廉王子蜜月地曝光 夫婦小島秀恩愛
The newlywed Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are to honeymoon in a ?4,000-a-night villa on one of the most beautiful and romantic islands in the world. Prince William is to whisk his bride away to a secret hideaway in the Indian Ocean for a ten-day holiday later this month. It was widely expected that the couple would be going on honeymoon this week after their wedding on Friday. But at the weekend it was announced that the Duke, a search and rescue pilot, would be returning to work tomorrow at RAF Valley on Anglesey.
上週五剛剛在英國威斯敏斯特大教堂喜結連理的“劍橋公爵”“劍橋公爵夫人”威廉與凱特婚後輕鬆現身，並傳出---他們將前往世界上最美、最浪漫的小島（位於印度洋）度過他們的爲期10天的蜜月，而蜜月所住的島上奢華酒店將花費高達4000英鎊，此外，有消息稱，這對新婚夫婦早已經“等不及”迅速展開他們的蜜月之旅，蜜月的啓程日期就在本週。但是，威廉劍橋公爵所效力的部隊“英國皇家空軍”卻透露，公爵將不會隨妻子去享受二人世界，而是立即返回皇家空軍工作。
Despite his status as second in line to the throne he had to apply for leave like his colleagues. He was given a week off for the wedding but was told that he would have to split any further holiday requests – hence the delayed departure date. The Mail can reveal that the Duke and Duchess are due to fly out by private jet in mid-May before being taken by helicopter from the mainland to the tropical retreat. Two Scotland Yard protection officers checked the destination a fortnight ago to ensure it would give the couple the privacy they crave. The Mail is not publishing details of the location, and it is understood that not even Kate is aware of the exact destination.
儘管威廉身爲英國皇室的第二順位繼承人，在地位上理應享受“特別待遇”，然而，威廉還是要向上司打報告“申請放假”。英國每日郵報透露，威廉與凱特原本打算於五月中旬乘坐私人飛機前往熱帶島嶼度過他們的蜜月之旅。此外，蜜月島嶼的安保工作也做得十分到位，據說，兩批次的倫敦警察廳保護官員已經作爲“先遣部隊”在大婚前兩週就已經抵達島嶼並保證給這對“皇室鴛鴦”絕對的隱祕空間。關於該島嶼具體的細節，媒體沒有大肆報道，細節也沒有公之於衆，恐怕連凱特本人都不知道詳細的蜜月地點。
The resort, which is surrounded by coconut groves, offers almost complete isolation. Its white sand beaches are bathed by crystal-clear turquoise waters and are a sanctuary for sea turtles. Only a handful of luxury villas are dotted across the island. Hand-crafted out of local wood, each has an open-air bathroom area with sunken bath and shower, a private garden and a wooden deck with freshwater rock pool and yoga pavilion. There is a butler on hand in every villa, and a personal chef will conjure up a daily menu based on freshly-caught fish and whatever delicacies the couple wish.
然而儘管如此，關於蜜月地的“樣子”媒體有如下描述：島嶼酒店被成片的椰子樹環繞，和外界相隔，這樣會給威廉和凱特絕對的私人空間。白色的沙灘以及藍綠色的海水很美，同時也是海龜的棲息地。在島嶼上，奢華酒店的數量可謂“屈指可數”，酒店的每一個房間都有一個“露天浴室”可以在洗澡的同事享受海風拂面的感覺。房間設有獨立的花園、獨立的泳池以及瑜伽設施。客人可以享受每日針對客人自己需要的“私人菜譜”，當然，無論是天上的龍肉還是別的什麼，只要是威廉和凱特能想象出來的食物，酒店都有做出來的能力的。
