The prince and Kate Middleton, his 29-year-old girlfriend of nearly a decade, married in London’s historic Westminster Abbey on Friday in the biggest royal wedding for 30 years.

A million cheering people crowded into central London to catch a glimpse of the newlyweds as they rode from the abbey to Queen Elizabeth’s Buckingham Palace in a 1902 open-topped state landau carriage.
百万欢呼的民众涌入中伦敦，为一睹这对新人，乘坐1902年款上空式的国家兰度四轮马车，从教堂到女王的白金汉宫。

Commentators praised the royal family for striking a balance between carefully choreographed grandeur – military bands in black bearskin hats and household cavalrymen in shining breastplates – and personal spontaneity.
评论家称赞王室，在戴着黑色熊皮帽的军乐队、及穿着闪亮的胸甲皇家骑士，与民众个人的自主性之间，取得平衡。

Like other details of the wedding, including the designer of Middleton’s dress, the honeymoon venue is a closely kept secret, though that has not stopped newspapers from guessing.
像婚礼的其他细节，包括米德尔顿的礼服的设计师，和蜜月地点都是严密保守的秘密。但这并没有让媒体报纸停止猜测。

Suggestions have included locations as varied as the Seychelles, Kenya, Mustique, an island on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, the Greek island of Corfu, a villa in Tuscany and the Scilly Isles off England’s southwest coast.

The intense speculation over the couple’s every move underlines the pressure they will face as the future British king and queen living in the full glare of the media spotlight.
对这对夫妇的密集猜测，突显了他们作为未来英国国王和王后，在媒体聚光灯的照射下，所面对的压力。
