威廉王子大婚 英国人民可放假11天

Britain will enjoy a bank holiday bonanza because of Prince William's royal wedding to Kate Middleton, with back-to-back four-day weekends.

威廉王子和凯特举行婚礼，于是英国人民可以放大假了！连续的四个周末啊！

The Prince wants to evoke the memory of his mother by making his marriage on April 29 next year a celebration for the whole nation.

And it will be like a second Christmas break for many because it follows just days after the Easter weekend.

威廉王子为了纪念自己的母亲，将婚礼选在4月29日，并将这一天定位国定假日。这等于是第二个圣诞节假啊，因为就在复活节假后几天。

There are just three normal working days between the two Bank Holiday weekends, meaning many could enjoy a break of 11 days if they book the time off in between.

复活节假和威廉王子婚礼假之间只有三个工作日，等于说这三天也请假的话就可以连续休11天了！

Kate’s ‘extremely generous’ parents have agreed to pay a five-figure sum towards the ￡12million cost of the big day, the rest of which will be funded by the Queen and Prince Charles.

凯特的父母将为婚礼出五位数的钱，整个婚礼预计花费1200万英镑，那么剩下的部分就由女王和查尔斯亲王付。

The Palace revealed that William wants a ‘spectacle’ on a grand scale. Street parties around London on the big day and a military fly-over are expected in a ‘classic example of what Britain does best’.

皇室方面表示，威廉王子希望婚礼“盛况空前”，当天街头除了有各种party狂欢，还会有空军飞行表演，以展现最经典最给力的英式庆典。
